REYNOLDS WOOD PRODUCTS Stormwater Outfall, Maplesville, Alabama

REYNOLDS WOOD PRODUCTS is a stormwater outfall located at 10 Oil Tank Road in Maplesville, Chilton County, Alabama, United States. This facility is part of the industrial sector and operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program, which regulates stormwater discharges from industrial activities to protect water quality. As an industrial stormwater outfall, the facility is subject to the US EPA's NPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) or an individual permit, depending on its specific operations. The permit requires implementation of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) with best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants in runoff. The facility's location in Alabama places it within the jurisdiction of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), which administers the NPDES program in the state. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its potential to discharge stormwater containing pollutants from industrial activities into nearby water bodies. Proper management of stormwater runoff is critical to prevent contamination of streams and rivers in the region, which may support aquatic life and downstream uses. The facility's compliance with permit conditions helps mitigate risks to local water quality.

The facility is located in Chilton County, Alabama, within the Mobile River Basin. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, increasing the potential for stormwater runoff. Industrial stormwater discharges may contain pollutants such as sediment, metals, or chemicals, which can impact receiving waters. The outfall's discharge likely flows into a tributary of the Alabama River, which supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is used for recreation and water supply.
