WESTROCK CP, LLC Stormwater Outfall, Newville, Alabama | United States

WESTROCK CP, LLC is a Stormwater Outfall facility located at Highway 173 South in Newville, Henry County, Alabama, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from an industrial catchment area, likely associated with the NAICS code 321999 (All Other Miscellaneous Wood Product Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US Clean Water Act and NPDES MS4 permit requirements, which regulate discharges to ensure water quality standards are met. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), specifically under MS4 permits for industrial stormwater discharges. In Alabama, the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) oversees compliance with these permits. The facility's industrial catchment suggests that stormwater may contain pollutants typical of wood product manufacturing, such as sediment, organic matter, and chemicals. Best management practices (BMPs) are typically employed to treat runoff before discharge. Located in a rural area of southeastern Alabama, the facility's discharge likely enters local waterways that drain to the Chattahoochee River basin. Proper stormwater management is critical to protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats. The facility's role in managing industrial stormwater helps mitigate potential impacts on local water bodies, supporting community and environmental health.

The facility is situated in Henry County, Alabama, within the Chattahoochee River watershed. This region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, making stormwater management crucial for preventing erosion, flooding, and pollutant transport. The industrial catchment, associated with wood product manufacturing, may contribute sediment, nutrients, and organic pollutants to stormwater runoff. Effective treatment and compliance with NPDES permits are essential to protect downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
