Beaver Pallet Company Stormwater Outfall | Berryville, Arkansas Industrial Runoff Management

Beaver Pallet Company is a stormwater outfall facility located at 2669 HWY 62 WEST in Berryville, Carroll County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from an industrial site engaged in wood pallet and container manufacturing (NAICS 321113 and 321920). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, specifically under the Clean Water Act's industrial stormwater regulations. In Arkansas, industrial stormwater discharges are regulated through general permits that require facilities to implement stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and conduct monitoring. The Beaver Pallet Company outfall likely operates under such a permit, with requirements for best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants like sediment, wood debris, and potential chemical residues from pallet treatment. The facility's location in a rural county suggests potential impacts on local waterways, including tributaries of the White River basin. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its role in managing stormwater quality from an industrial source. Proper operation helps protect downstream water bodies from pollution associated with industrial runoff. The facility contributes to the broader network of stormwater controls in Arkansas, supporting compliance with state water quality standards and the goals of the Clean Water Act.

The Beaver Pallet Company outfall discharges stormwater from an industrial site in the Ozark region of Arkansas, an area characterized by karst topography and sensitive aquatic ecosystems. Runoff from wood product manufacturing can contain suspended solids, organic matter, and potential contaminants from wood treatment or equipment maintenance. The facility's discharge may affect local streams that feed into the White River, which is a major waterway in the region. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES program aims to minimize impacts through pollution prevention and monitoring.
