WELLS & WELLS SEPTIC TANK MFG AND PIPE SALES is a stormwater outfall located at 3701 BYNUM LEATHERWOOD RD in Anniston, Calhoun County, Alabama. This facility manages stormwater discharge from an industrial site involved in concrete product manufacturing (NAICS 327390). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of regulated stormwater discharges under the US Clean Water Act. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program, specifically under MS4 permits for industrial stormwater discharges. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) administers the NPDES program. The site's industrial catchment likely generates runoff that may contain pollutants typical of manufacturing operations, such as sediment, oils, and chemicals. Stormwater outfalls like this one play a critical role in managing urban and industrial runoff to protect local water quality. The facility's discharge likely enters a nearby waterbody, potentially affecting the Coosa River watershed. Proper management of stormwater from industrial sites helps reduce pollution and comply with water quality standards.
Environmental context
Anniston is located in the Coosa River watershed in northeastern Alabama. The region has a humid subtropical climate with significant rainfall, making stormwater management important for flood control and water quality. Industrial stormwater discharges can carry pollutants such as heavy metals, sediments, and hydrocarbons, which may impact aquatic ecosystems. The facility's location in an industrial area increases the potential for runoff contamination, requiring adherence to NPDES permit conditions to protect downstream water bodies.
