Overview
ROGERS GROUP OPERATION SITE is a stormwater outfall in Huntsville, Alabama, United States. It operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework for industrial stormwater discharges.
ROGERS GROUP OPERATION SITE is a stormwater outfall located at 187 C Nick Fitcheard Road in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama. The facility is operational and falls under the jurisdiction of the United States, where stormwater discharges are regulated under the Clean Water Act through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. As an industrial stormwater outfall, it is subject to permitting requirements that address runoff from industrial activities. The facility operates within the context of Alabama's stormwater management framework, which includes both Phase I and Phase II MS4 permits for municipal separate storm sewer systems. The NAICS code 213115 indicates support activities for nonmetallic minerals (except fuels) mining, suggesting the site may be associated with mining or quarrying operations. Stormwater outfalls at such sites typically manage runoff from disturbed areas, stockpiles, and equipment yards. Environmental significance of this outfall lies in its role in controlling pollutant discharges to local water bodies. Huntsville is located in the Tennessee Valley region, where stormwater runoff can impact streams and the Tennessee River. Proper management of industrial stormwater helps prevent sediment, metals, and other pollutants from degrading water quality and aquatic habitats.
