RAINSVILLE CHURCH PEW COMPANY Stormwater Outfall, Rainsville, Alabama

RAINSVILLE CHURCH PEW COMPANY operates a stormwater outfall located at 1281 Main Street in Rainsville, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater discharge from an industrial site classified under NAICS 337127 (Institutional Furniture Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of point source discharges regulated under the Clean Water Act. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), specifically under the MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) permit program. In Alabama, stormwater discharges from industrial activities are typically covered by a Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) or an individual permit. The outfall likely conveys runoff from the manufacturing facility's impervious surfaces, including parking lots and rooftops, to a receiving water body. Stormwater management at industrial sites is critical to prevent pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and heavy metals from entering local waterways. The facility's location in DeKalb County, Alabama, places it within the Tennessee River watershed, which supports regional water quality and aquatic habitats. Proper operation and maintenance of this outfall help mitigate flooding and protect downstream water resources.

The stormwater outfall discharges into a local waterway within the Tennessee River basin, which is subject to state water quality standards. Industrial stormwater runoff from manufacturing facilities can carry pollutants like sediment, metals, and hydrocarbons. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions, including stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and best management practices (BMPs), is essential to minimize environmental impact and protect aquatic ecosystems.
