Overview
STANDARD FURNITURE MFG.CO.INC. is an operational stormwater outfall in Bay Minette, Alabama, serving an industrial catchment under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework.
STANDARD FURNITURE MFG.CO.INC. operates a stormwater outfall located at 801 Industrial Boulevard South in Bay Minette, Baldwin County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 337122 (Nonupholstered Wood Furniture Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to federal and state regulations. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES permit program, including Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) for industrial stormwater. The outfall is part of a system designed to control pollutants in runoff from the manufacturing facility, with requirements for stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and monitoring. This outfall serves an industrial catchment in Bay Minette, a city in southwestern Alabama near the Mobile Bay estuary. Proper stormwater management is critical in this region to protect water quality in the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta and downstream coastal ecosystems. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions helps minimize the impact of industrial runoff on local water bodies.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Baldwin County, Alabama, within the Mobile Bay watershed, which drains into the Gulf of Mexico. This region supports diverse aquatic habitats, including estuaries and wetlands that are sensitive to pollutants from urban and industrial runoff. Industrial stormwater discharges can carry sediments, heavy metals, and organic chemicals, posing risks to water quality and aquatic life. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act and Alabama's NPDES program aims to mitigate these impacts through permit conditions and best management practices.
