Overview
REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY, LLC operates a stormwater outfall in Huntsville, Alabama, managing industrial stormwater discharges under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY, LLC is a stormwater outfall facility located at 1816 REMINGTON CIRCLE in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from an industrial site, with NAICS codes 332994 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing) and 336415 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Propulsion Unit and Propulsion Unit Parts Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, specifically under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial activities. The facility operates within the regulatory context of the Clean Water Act, which requires industrial stormwater discharges to be covered by an NPDES permit. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The outfall likely includes best management practices (BMPs) such as sediment basins, oil-water separators, or vegetative swales to control pollutants. The industrial nature of the site, involving ammunition and aerospace manufacturing, suggests potential pollutants include heavy metals, oils, and suspended solids. Environmentally, the outfall discharges into local waterways in the Tennessee River basin. Huntsville's climate features significant rainfall, making stormwater management critical for flood control and water quality. The facility's compliance with permit limits helps protect downstream water bodies from industrial runoff. As part of the Madison County stormwater network, it contributes to community flood resilience and environmental stewardship.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Huntsville, Alabama, within the Tennessee River watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, increasing the risk of stormwater runoff carrying industrial pollutants. The outfall discharges into local streams that eventually feed into the Tennessee River, which is used for drinking water, recreation, and habitat. Industrial activities at the site, including ammunition and aerospace manufacturing, may introduce metals, oils, and other contaminants. Effective stormwater management is essential to prevent impairment of these water bodies and comply with the Clean Water Act.
