TROY - REX LUMBER Stormwater Outfall, Troy, Alabama | United States

TROY - REX LUMBER is a stormwater outfall located in Troy, Pike County, Alabama, United States. The facility serves an industrial lumber operation, managing stormwater runoff from the site. As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) regulated under the Clean Water Act. In the United States, stormwater outfalls like this one are subject to EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program. Phase II MS4 permits apply to smaller municipalities and industrial facilities, requiring stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and best management practices (BMPs) to control runoff. The facility's location in Alabama places it within a region with frequent rainfall, making effective stormwater management critical to prevent flooding and water quality degradation. The outfall discharges into local waterways, potentially affecting downstream water bodies. Proper operation ensures compliance with water quality standards and protects aquatic habitats. The facility's role is to convey stormwater from the lumber yard while minimizing pollutant loads such as sediment, oil, and debris.

The outfall is situated in Pike County, Alabama, an area with a humid subtropical climate and significant rainfall. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like lumber yards can carry pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and organic matter. Discharge to nearby streams may impact water quality if not properly managed. The facility operates under NPDES MS4 regulations to mitigate these risks.
