APAC-Central, Inc., Jenny Lind Asphalt Stormwater Outfall, Greenwood, Arkansas

APAC-Central, Inc., Jenny Lind Asphalt is a stormwater outfall facility located at 2118 Gatenine Road in Greenwood, Sebastian County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS codes 212310, 212312, 212319, and 324121, indicating involvement in stone mining and asphalt paving mixture manufacturing. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from industrial activities, contributing to local water quality management. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater discharges. In Arkansas, the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) oversees compliance. Typical stormwater management at such facilities includes best management practices (BMPs) like sediment basins, oil-water separators, and erosion controls to mitigate pollutant runoff. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its role in controlling stormwater runoff from industrial operations, which can carry sediments, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons. Proper management helps protect nearby water bodies, such as the Arkansas River watershed, from contamination. The facility's location in a mixed urban-industrial area underscores the importance of regulatory compliance to minimize ecological impact.

The facility is situated in Greenwood, Arkansas, within the Arkansas River watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with significant seasonal rainfall, increasing the potential for stormwater runoff. Industrial activities at the site, including stone mining and asphalt production, generate pollutants such as sediment, oil, and grease. Effective stormwater management is critical to prevent degradation of local streams and the Arkansas River, which support aquatic life and recreational uses.
