Overview
ROGERS GROUP, INC. - MOULTON QUARRY is a stormwater outfall in Moulton, Alabama, managing runoff from quarry and industrial operations under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
ROGERS GROUP, INC. - MOULTON QUARRY is a stormwater outfall located at 15160 County Road 7 in Moulton, Lawrence County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and manages stormwater discharges from a quarry operation, classified under NAICS codes 212312 (Crushed and Broken Limestone Mining) and 324121 (Asphalt Paving Mixture and Block Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, specifically under the Clean Water Act's stormwater regulations for industrial activities. The facility operates within Alabama's regulatory environment, where the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. Stormwater discharges from industrial sites like quarries typically require coverage under a Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) or an individual permit. The outfall likely manages runoff from the quarry's active areas, stockpiles, and haul roads, with controls such as sediment basins, silt fences, or vegetative buffers to minimize pollutant loads. Environmental significance lies in the facility's role in managing stormwater from a quarry operation, which can generate sediment, metals, and other pollutants. The outfall discharges to local waterways in the Tennessee River basin, potentially affecting water quality. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions, including monitoring and best management practices, is critical to protect downstream aquatic ecosystems. The facility contributes to the regional stormwater management infrastructure in Lawrence County.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Lawrence County, Alabama, within the Tennessee River watershed. Quarry operations can generate sediment, turbidity, and potential contaminants like metals from rock crushing and processing. Stormwater runoff from such sites must be managed to prevent degradation of receiving waters, which may support aquatic life and recreational uses. The local climate, with seasonal rainfall patterns, influences runoff volumes and pollutant transport. Effective stormwater controls are essential to meet water quality standards under the Clean Water Act.
