WAYNE DAVIS CONCRETE - WEDOWEE Stormwater Outfall, Wedowee, Alabama

WAYNE DAVIS CONCRETE - WEDOWEE is a stormwater outfall located at 18985 HWY 431 NORTH in Wedowee, Randolph County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater discharge from an industrial concrete manufacturing site, classified under NAICS 327320. As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of point sources regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for industrial activities. Operating under the US Clean Water Act, this outfall is subject to NPDES permit requirements for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. The facility's stormwater management likely includes best management practices (BMPs) such as sediment basins, oil-water separators, or filtration systems to control pollutants like sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons common in concrete production runoff. Compliance with effluent limits and monitoring requirements is essential to protect local water quality. The outfall discharges into the surrounding watershed, which may drain to the Tallapoosa River system. Proper stormwater management at this site helps mitigate impacts on downstream water bodies, supporting aquatic habitat and recreational uses. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing adherence to regulatory standards, contributing to community and environmental health in Wedowee.

The stormwater outfall is located in a rural area of Randolph County, Alabama, within the Tallapoosa River basin. The region's climate features frequent rainfall, increasing the potential for runoff from industrial sites. Concrete manufacturing can generate alkaline runoff with high pH, suspended solids, and trace metals. Effective stormwater controls are critical to prevent degradation of local streams and the Tallapoosa River, which supports diverse aquatic life and recreational activities.
