Overview
Titan Coatings, Inc. is an operational stormwater outfall in Bessemer, Alabama, discharging industrial runoff under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
Titan Coatings, Inc. operates a stormwater outfall facility located at 2025 Exchange Pl in Bessemer, Jefferson County, Alabama, United States. This facility manages stormwater runoff from industrial activities, serving as a point of discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) framework. As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System) permit program, which regulates discharges to protect water quality. The facility's industrial classification includes NAICS codes 236210 (Industrial Building Construction) and 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), indicating a catchment area with potential for pollutant loads typical of manufacturing and construction operations. Under the Clean Water Act, such outfalls must comply with stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and may require monitoring for parameters like total suspended solids, oil and grease, or heavy metals. The regulatory context for Alabama is shaped by EPA Region 4 oversight and state-level implementation through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM). Located in Bessemer, a city within the Birmingham metropolitan area, this outfall discharges into local waterways that may ultimately feed into the Black Warrior River basin. Effective stormwater management at this site helps mitigate the impact of urban and industrial runoff on downstream aquatic ecosystems. The facility's operational status ensures ongoing compliance with permit conditions, contributing to the region's water quality goals.
