Overview
READY MIX USA - WETUMPKA FACILITY is a stormwater outfall in Wetumpka, Alabama, United States. It manages runoff from a concrete batch plant under EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
READY MIX USA - WETUMPKA FACILITY is a stormwater outfall located at 1106 West Bridge Street in Wetumpka, Elmore County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and manages stormwater runoff from a ready-mix concrete production site. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to federal and state regulations. The facility operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The site is classified under the industrial stormwater sector, requiring compliance with effluent limits and best management practices to control pollutants such as sediment, pH, and concrete washout. Stormwater outfalls like this one play a critical role in managing urban and industrial runoff, helping to prevent flooding and reduce pollutant loads to receiving waters. The facility's location in Wetumpka, near the Coosa River, underscores the importance of proper stormwater management to protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
Environmental context
The facility discharges stormwater in the Coosa River watershed, a region with significant ecological value. Industrial runoff from concrete production can contain high pH, suspended solids, and trace metals, posing risks to aquatic life if untreated. The site is subject to NPDES permit conditions requiring monitoring and implementation of stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) to mitigate these impacts.
