Overview
Auto Parts Group Southwest DBA Pick-N-Pull Auto Dismantlers operates a stormwater outfall in Cabot, Arkansas, managing runoff from an automotive dismantling facility under US EPA NPDES MS4 regulations.
Auto Parts Group Southwest DBA Pick-N-Pull Auto Dismantlers is a stormwater outfall located at 6205 John Hardin Drive in Cabot, Lonoke County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and handles stormwater runoff from an automotive parts dismantling operation, classified under NAICS 423930 (Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to federal and state stormwater permitting requirements. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) framework, which regulates stormwater discharges from industrial activities. Given its industrial catchment (auto dismantling), the outfall is likely covered by an NPDES Industrial Stormwater General Permit, requiring implementation of best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants such as oil, grease, heavy metals, and sediment. The site is in Lonoke County, part of the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment's jurisdiction. Environmental significance stems from the potential for stormwater runoff from auto dismantling to carry contaminants that could impact nearby water bodies. Proper management of this outfall helps protect local aquatic ecosystems and comply with Clean Water Act goals. The facility's location in Cabot, a growing community, underscores the importance of effective stormwater control to mitigate urban runoff impacts on regional water quality.
Environmental context
The facility is situated in Cabot, Arkansas, within the Mississippi River Basin, where stormwater runoff from industrial sites can contribute to nonpoint source pollution. Auto dismantling operations pose risks of oil, coolant, and heavy metal contamination in runoff. The outfall discharges to local streams that may eventually reach the Arkansas River, a major tributary of the Mississippi. Effective stormwater management is critical to prevent impairment of these water bodies and to comply with Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements for pollutants like sediment and metals.
