Westervelt Lumber Moundville, LLC Stormwater Outfall, Moundville, Alabama

Westervelt Lumber Moundville, LLC is a stormwater outfall facility located at 2500 Gulf States Parkway in Moundville, Hale County, Alabama. The facility is operational and serves an industrial catchment associated with lumber and construction sectors, as indicated by its NAICS codes for industrial building construction, other heavy and civil engineering construction, and sawmills. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program. The facility operates under the jurisdiction of Alabama's stormwater management regulations, which require permits for industrial stormwater discharges. The outfall likely handles runoff from impervious surfaces and industrial operations, with typical management practices including sedimentation basins, oil-water separators, or vegetated swales to control pollutants. The scale of discharge is consistent with medium-sized industrial facilities in the region. Environmental significance lies in its role in preventing untreated industrial runoff from directly entering nearby water bodies. The facility's location in Hale County, near the Black Warrior River, underscores the importance of effective stormwater management to protect water quality and aquatic habitats. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions is critical to minimize impacts on downstream ecosystems.

The facility is situated in Hale County, Alabama, within the Black Warrior River watershed. Industrial stormwater discharges from lumber and construction activities can introduce sediments, nutrients, and heavy metals into local waterways. The region's humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall increases runoff volumes, making proper stormwater management essential to prevent erosion, flooding, and pollution of receiving waters.
