ASPHALT PRODUCERS/BISCOE PLNT Stormwater Outfall, Biscoe, Arkansas

ASPHALT PRODUCERS/BISCOE PLNT is a stormwater outfall located at 211 HWY 33 N in Biscoe, Prairie County, Arkansas, United States. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 327320 (ready-mix concrete manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting program, specifically under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial activities. The facility operates in a region with a humid subtropical climate, characterized by significant rainfall throughout the year. Stormwater management at this site involves controlling runoff from impervious surfaces and industrial operations to prevent pollutants from entering nearby water bodies. The regulatory framework requires implementation of best management practices (BMPs) and monitoring to ensure compliance with water quality standards. This outfall plays a role in managing stormwater impacts in the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Arkansas River basin. Effective stormwater control at industrial facilities like this one is critical for protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality for community and recreational uses. The facility's operational status indicates ongoing compliance with stormwater regulations.

The facility is located in Prairie County, Arkansas, within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain ecoregion. This area is characterized by flat topography and agricultural land use, with the Arkansas River as a major receiving water body. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites can carry sediments, nutrients, and chemicals that may impact water quality. The region's high rainfall intensity increases the risk of pollutant transport, making proper stormwater management essential for protecting aquatic habitats and downstream water resources.
