Overview
QUINCY COMPRESSOR is a stormwater outfall in Bay Minette, Alabama, USA. It operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permitting framework for industrial stormwater discharges.
QUINCY COMPRESSOR is a stormwater outfall located at 701 North Dobson Avenue in Bay Minette, Baldwin County, Alabama, United States. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site, with NAICS codes 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of facilities regulated under the US Clean Water Act. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, specifically under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater discharges. The MSGP requires facilities to implement stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and conduct monitoring to ensure compliance with water quality standards. The site's industrial activities, including manufacturing of compressors and engine equipment, may contribute pollutants such as metals, oils, and sediments to stormwater runoff. Located in Baldwin County, Alabama, the outfall discharges into local waterways that ultimately drain to the Mobile Bay estuary. The facility's stormwater management is critical for protecting downstream water quality and aquatic habitats. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions helps minimize environmental impacts from industrial runoff. The facility's operational status indicates active management of stormwater discharges.
Environmental context
The QUINCY COMPRESSOR outfall is located in Baldwin County, Alabama, within the Mobile Bay watershed. This region supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including estuaries and wetlands that are sensitive to pollutants from urban and industrial runoff. Industrial stormwater discharges can introduce heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and sediments, potentially impacting water quality and aquatic life. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit requirements is essential for minimizing these environmental risks.
Frequently asked questions
QUINCY COMPRESSOR is located at 701 North Dobson Avenue, Bay Minette, Baldwin County, Alabama, United States, 36507-3174.
QUINCY COMPRESSOR is a stormwater outfall that manages industrial stormwater runoff from manufacturing activities, including air and gas compressor manufacturing (NAICS 333912) and other engine equipment manufacturing (NAICS 333618).
QUINCY COMPRESSOR operates under the US EPA NPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater discharges, which requires a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) and monitoring to comply with the Clean Water Act.
An industrial stormwater outfall is a point where stormwater runoff from an industrial facility is discharged into a waterbody. These outfalls are regulated under the NPDES program to control pollutants like metals, oils, and sediments.
The NPDES MSGP requires industrial facilities to implement best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollutants in stormwater runoff, conduct regular monitoring, and develop SWPPPs. This helps prevent contamination of local waterways and protects aquatic ecosystems.
