SCOT INDUSTRIES, INC. Stormwater Outfall in Talladega, Alabama

SCOT INDUSTRIES, INC. operates a stormwater outfall located at 94 Autumn Lane in Talladega, Talladega County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from industrial activities, serving sectors including NAICS 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 331210 (Iron and Steel Mills). As a stormwater outfall in the United States, it operates under the regulatory framework of the Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), which governs stormwater discharges from industrial facilities. The facility's stormwater management is subject to EPA's Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial activities, requiring implementation of stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. Located in Alabama, the facility must comply with state-level NPDES permitting through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). The industrial catchment includes construction and steel manufacturing, which can contribute sediment, metals, and other pollutants to stormwater runoff. This outfall discharges to local waterways in the Talladega area, which may include the Coosa River basin. Effective stormwater management at this facility helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats. Regular monitoring and compliance with permit conditions are essential to minimize environmental impact from industrial stormwater discharges.

The facility is located in Talladega, Alabama, within the Coosa River watershed. Industrial stormwater discharges from construction and steel manufacturing activities can introduce pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons into local streams. The region's climate, with frequent rainfall, increases runoff volumes and potential for pollutant transport. Compliance with NPDES permit requirements, including implementation of BMPs and monitoring, is critical to protect water quality in receiving waters.
