PRATTVILLE PLANT Stormwater Outfall in Prattville, Alabama

PRATTVILLE PLANT is a stormwater outfall located at 1920 County Road 85 in Prattville, Alabama, within Autauga County. As a stormwater outfall, it serves as a discharge point for stormwater runoff from the surrounding area, which may include urban and industrial catchments. The facility is operational and falls under the regulatory oversight of the US Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit program. In Alabama, stormwater outfalls like PRATTVILLE PLANT are typically part of a larger stormwater management system designed to control flooding, reduce erosion, and improve water quality. The facility's NAICS code (327320) indicates a connection to ready-mix concrete manufacturing, suggesting that the outfall may handle runoff from industrial activities. The regulatory context for such facilities includes compliance with NPDES permits that set limits on pollutants discharged to receiving waters. PRATTVILLE PLANT plays a role in managing stormwater runoff in the Prattville area, contributing to local flood control and water quality protection. The outfall discharges to nearby water bodies, which may be subject to Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements for pollutants like sediment, nutrients, or heavy metals. Effective stormwater management at this facility helps protect downstream ecosystems and supports community resilience against flooding.

The PRATTVILLE PLANT stormwater outfall is located in central Alabama, a region with a humid subtropical climate characterized by frequent thunderstorms and heavy rainfall events. This climate increases the volume of stormwater runoff, which can carry pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, and industrial contaminants into receiving waters. The outfall may discharge to the Alabama River or its tributaries, which are important for local ecology and water supply. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES MS4 program requires monitoring and best management practices to minimize the impact of urban and industrial runoff on these water bodies.
