AMERICAN DISPOSAL-BELLA VISTA TRANSFER STATION Stormwater Outfall, Bella Vista, Arkansas

AMERICAN DISPOSAL-BELLA VISTA TRANSFER STATION is a stormwater outfall located at 36 Bella Vista Way in Bella Vista, Benton County, Arkansas. This facility is part of the stormwater management infrastructure serving the local area, operating 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) permits. The facility's NAICS code 562111 indicates it is associated with solid waste collection, suggesting the outfall manages stormwater runoff from a transfer station site. Stormwater outfalls like this one are designed to discharge collected stormwater into receiving waters, and their operation is subject to local and federal regulations to minimize pollution from urban and industrial runoff. In the context of Bella Vista and Benton County, this outfall contributes to managing stormwater quality and quantity in a growing region. Proper operation helps protect local water bodies from pollutants carried by runoff, supporting community and environmental health. The facility's role is part of a broader network of stormwater controls required under MS4 permits for urbanized areas.

Bella Vista is located in the Ozark Mountains region of Arkansas, characterized by karst topography with limestone bedrock and numerous springs. Stormwater runoff in this area can quickly infiltrate into groundwater or flow into sensitive streams and lakes. The facility's discharge may affect local water bodies such as Little Sugar Creek or Bella Vista Lake, which are part of the larger Illinois River watershed. Managing stormwater quality is critical to prevent sedimentation, nutrient pollution, and other contaminants from impacting aquatic ecosystems and drinking water sources.
