Overview
Russell Brands LLC operates a stormwater outfall in Alexander City, Alabama, managing industrial stormwater discharges under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
Russell Brands LLC is an industrial facility located at 375 7th Way in Alexander City, Tallapoosa County, Alabama. The site operates a stormwater outfall that manages runoff from industrial activities, classified under NAICS codes 313310, 313311, 313312, and 493110, which cover textile mills and general warehousing. 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 industrial stormwater regulations. In Alabama, stormwater discharges from industrial facilities are regulated through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), which implements the NPDES program. The facility's outfall is designed to control and treat stormwater runoff from the site, reducing pollutants such as sediment, oils, and chemicals before discharge into local waterways. The regulatory framework requires compliance with stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and best management practices (BMPs) tailored to the industrial activities on site. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its role in protecting the Tallapoosa River watershed, which is a key water resource in the region. Proper stormwater management at industrial sites like Russell Brands LLC helps prevent contamination of surface waters, supports aquatic habitat, and maintains water quality for downstream communities. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions is critical for minimizing the impact of industrial runoff on the local environment.
