AHP, Arkansas Stormwater Outfall - East Camden, Arkansas

AHP, Arkansas is a stormwater outfall situated in East Camden, Arkansas, within the Highland Industrial Park. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial catchment, contributing to local flood control and water quality management. As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) regulated under the US Clean Water Act. The facility operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 permit framework, which requires stormwater management programs to reduce pollutant discharges. The industrial park setting suggests potential exposure to pollutants from manufacturing activities, necessitating compliance with stormwater pollution prevention plans. The outfall likely discharges to a receiving water body, which may be monitored for compliance with water quality standards. Stormwater outfalls play a critical role in managing urban and industrial runoff, preventing flooding, and protecting downstream ecosystems. In Arkansas, stormwater management is essential for maintaining water quality in rivers and lakes that support local communities and wildlife. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing management of stormwater flows from the industrial park.

The facility is located in Ouachita County, Arkansas, an area with a humid subtropical climate and significant rainfall, making stormwater management crucial. The outfall discharges into local waterways that may be impaired by industrial pollutants, requiring careful monitoring under the Clean Water Act. The surrounding Highland Industrial Park hosts various manufacturing activities, increasing the risk of runoff containing heavy metals, oils, and other contaminants.
