SHERMAN INDUSTRIES ALEXANDER CITY PLANT Stormwater Outfall, Alexander City, Alabama

SHERMAN INDUSTRIES ALEXANDER CITY PLANT is a stormwater outfall located at 4837 DADEVILLE RD in Alexander City, Tallapoosa County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 327320 (ready-mix concrete manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, operating under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES MS4 program. The facility is operational and falls under Phase II MS4 requirements for small municipalities, given Alexander City's population. Stormwater outfalls in industrial settings like this must comply with sector-specific effluent guidelines and implement best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. The NAICS code indicates potential contaminants such as sediment, pH, and metals from concrete production. This outfall contributes to local stormwater management in the Tallapoosa River watershed. Proper operation helps protect water quality in downstream water bodies, supporting community and ecological health. The facility's role is part of broader efforts to manage urban and industrial runoff in Alabama's Piedmont region.

The facility discharges stormwater into the Tallapoosa River basin, a region characterized by clay soils and rolling hills that can increase runoff and erosion. Industrial activities at the site, such as concrete manufacturing, may introduce sediment, alkaline pH, and metals into stormwater. The outfall is subject to NPDES permit requirements, including monitoring and pollution prevention plans, to minimize impacts on impaired water bodies in the watershed.
