SUSTAINABLE METAL RECYCLING, INC. Stormwater Outfall, Mobile, Alabama

SUSTAINABLE METAL RECYCLING, INC. is a stormwater outfall located at 600 Fisher St, Mobile, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves an industrial catchment associated with metal recycling (NAICS 423930). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges runoff from the site into the local drainage system, subject to regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act. The facility operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit framework, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial and municipal sources. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers these permits. The site's industrial activity (metal recycling) typically requires a Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for stormwater discharges, including best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. Located in Mobile, a coastal city in the Gulf Coast region, the facility's stormwater management is important for protecting local water quality. The area experiences heavy rainfall and is prone to flooding, making effective stormwater control critical. The outfall contributes to managing runoff from the recycling operations, reducing the risk of pollutant transport to nearby water bodies.

Mobile, Alabama, has a humid subtropical climate with significant rainfall, averaging over 60 inches annually. The city's stormwater systems discharge into Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, which are ecologically sensitive areas. Industrial stormwater outfalls like this one must comply with NPDES permits to prevent contamination from metals and other pollutants. The facility's location in an urban-industrial area increases the potential for runoff impacts on local waterways.
