TECHNIPFMC USA INC - MWCC Stormwater Outfall, Theodore, Alabama

TECHNIPFMC USA INC - MWCC is a stormwater outfall located at 3176 Baker Sorell Rd in Theodore, Mobile County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 213112 (Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations). 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 permit program. The facility is situated in an industrial area near the Gulf Coast, where stormwater management is critical due to the region's high rainfall and proximity to sensitive aquatic ecosystems. The outfall likely handles runoff from impervious surfaces such as parking lots, buildings, and process areas. Typical stormwater treatment may include detention basins, oil-water separators, or filtration systems to control pollutants before discharge. As part of the Mobile Bay watershed, this outfall contributes to the management of stormwater quality in an area with significant industrial activity. Proper operation helps protect downstream water bodies from pollutants like sediment, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions is essential for maintaining local water quality standards.

The facility discharges into the Mobile Bay watershed, a region with extensive industrial and port activities. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites can carry pollutants such as oil, grease, heavy metals, and sediments. The area experiences high annual rainfall, increasing the volume of runoff and potential for pollutant transport. Effective stormwater management is crucial to protect the ecologically important Mobile Bay estuary, which supports fisheries and wildlife.
