WEBB CONCRETE - PELL CITY Stormwater Outfall | Pell City, Alabama

WEBB CONCRETE - PELL CITY is a stormwater outfall facility situated at 204 Industrial Park Drive in Pell City, St. Clair County, Alabama. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from an industrial catchment, primarily associated with concrete manufacturing operations. The facility is operational and falls under the regulatory framework of the United States Clean Water Act and the EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program. In Alabama, stormwater discharges from industrial facilities are typically regulated under NPDES industrial stormwater permits. These permits require implementation of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs) and best management practices to control pollutants. The facility's location in an industrial park suggests it handles runoff from impervious surfaces and potential industrial contaminants, necessitating compliance with state and federal water quality standards. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its potential impact on receiving waters in the Coosa River basin. Stormwater runoff from industrial areas can carry sediments, heavy metals, and other pollutants. Proper management at this outfall helps protect local water quality and aquatic habitats. The facility's role in the community is to safely convey stormwater while minimizing pollution, aligning with broader MS4 permit objectives for urbanized areas.

The stormwater outfall at WEBB CONCRETE - PELL CITY discharges into the Coosa River watershed, which is a significant water resource in Alabama. The area experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, making stormwater management critical. Industrial catchments like this can contribute pollutants such as sediment, oil, and grease to receiving waters. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES program aims to mitigate these impacts through permit conditions and monitoring.
