Overview
SITEMIX OF ALABAMA is a stormwater outfall in Dadeville, Alabama, serving industrial and commercial construction activities. It operates under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations for stormwater discharge management.
SITEMIX OF ALABAMA is a stormwater outfall located at 8181 Highway 50 in Dadeville, Tallapoosa County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and manages stormwater runoff from industrial and commercial construction activities, as indicated by its NAICS codes for commercial building construction, site preparation, and ready-mix concrete manufacturing. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for stormwater discharges. As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to requirements for controlling runoff quality and quantity, particularly in the context of industrial activity. The facility's location in Alabama places it within a region with a humid subtropical climate, characterized by significant rainfall, which necessitates effective stormwater management to prevent flooding and erosion. The environmental significance of SITEMIX OF ALABAMA lies in its role in managing stormwater runoff from industrial sites, which can contain pollutants such as sediment, chemicals, and debris. Proper operation helps protect local water bodies, including those in the Tallapoosa River watershed, from contamination and sedimentation. The facility contributes to community resilience by reducing flood risks and maintaining water quality in the surrounding area.
Environmental context
The facility is located in the Tallapoosa River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides drinking water for downstream communities. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites in this region can carry pollutants like sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons, potentially impacting water quality. Effective stormwater management is critical to protect these resources, especially given the area's frequent rainfall events that can exacerbate runoff and erosion.
