CONCRETE SERVICE INC Stormwater Outfall, El Dorado, Arkansas

CONCRETE SERVICE INC is a stormwater outfall located at 3227 NW Drive in El Dorado, Union County, Arkansas. The facility operates within the concrete product manufacturing industry (NAICS 327320) and is subject to stormwater discharge regulations under the US Clean Water Act. As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from industrial activities, with discharge potentially affecting local water bodies. The facility operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial facilities. In Arkansas, the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) administers the NPDES program. The site's stormwater management likely includes best management practices (BMPs) such as sediment basins, oil-water separators, or erosion controls to comply with permit limits. Environmental significance stems from its location in El Dorado, a city in southern Arkansas near the Ouachita River basin. Stormwater discharges from industrial facilities can carry pollutants like sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons. Proper management is critical to protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats. The facility's compliance with its NPDES permit ensures regulated discharge and minimizes environmental impact.

The facility is located in El Dorado, Arkansas, within the Ouachita River watershed. Industrial stormwater discharges from concrete manufacturing can contain high pH, total suspended solids, and trace metals. The region's climate, with frequent rainfall, increases runoff volume and pollutant loading. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's NPDES program requires monitoring and treatment to meet water quality standards, protecting downstream ecosystems and drinking water sources.
