Overview
PRINCE METAL STAMPING USA, INC. operates a stormwater outfall in Gadsden, Alabama, managing industrial runoff from its manufacturing facility under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
PRINCE METAL STAMPING USA, INC. is a stormwater outfall located at 1108 Airport Industrial Drive in Gadsden, Etowah County, Alabama. This facility manages industrial stormwater runoff from a metal stamping operation, classified under NAICS codes 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 336370 (Motor Vehicle Metal Stamping). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to federal and state regulations. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) framework, specifically the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial activities. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The outfall is part of a stormwater management system designed to treat and control runoff from the industrial site, including potential pollutants such as sediment, metals, and oils. Typical controls include detention basins, oil-water separators, and best management practices (BMPs) for erosion and sediment control. Located in Gadsden, a city in northeastern Alabama, the outfall discharges into the Coosa River watershed. The facility's environmental significance lies in its role in preventing industrial pollutants from entering sensitive water bodies. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions, including monitoring and reporting, is critical to protecting local water quality. The facility contributes to the broader stormwater management infrastructure in Etowah County, supporting community and ecological health.
Environmental context
The outfall discharges into the Coosa River basin, a major waterway in Alabama that supports diverse aquatic life and recreational uses. Industrial stormwater runoff from metal stamping operations can contain heavy metals, oils, and sediments, posing risks to water quality. The facility must comply with NPDES permit limits to prevent impairment of the receiving water body. Local urban and industrial land use in Gadsden increases the potential for pollutant loading, making stormwater management critical for protecting downstream ecosystems.
