STONEBRIDGE BORROW Stormwater Outfall, Spanish Fort, Alabama | US Stormwater Facility

STONEBRIDGE BORROW is a stormwater outfall located at the end of Stroh Road in Spanish Fort, Alabama, within Baldwin County. This facility is part of the United States' stormwater management infrastructure, which is regulated under the Clean Water Act and the EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected stormwater runoff from the surrounding area into receiving waters. The facility operates under the jurisdiction of Alabama's environmental regulatory framework, which aligns with federal MS4 requirements for stormwater discharge management. Stormwater outfalls like STONEBRIDGE BORROW are critical components of urban drainage systems, helping to control flooding and convey runoff from impervious surfaces. The NAICS code 212321 indicates that the facility may be associated with construction sand and gravel mining activities, which can generate stormwater runoff requiring management. Environmental significance of this outfall includes its role in managing stormwater quality and quantity in the Spanish Fort area. Discharges from stormwater outfalls can impact local water bodies, and facilities must comply with permit conditions to minimize pollution. The facility contributes to community resilience by reducing flood risk and protecting downstream ecosystems from untreated runoff.

The STONEBRIDGE BORROW outfall discharges stormwater in the Mobile Bay watershed, which is an ecologically important estuary. Stormwater runoff from urban and industrial areas can carry pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, and heavy metals, potentially affecting water quality. The facility's operation under an MS4 permit requires implementation of best management practices to reduce these impacts.
