CRSSLSHSS CORPORATION Stormwater Outfall, Elizabeth, Arkansas | USA

CRSSLSHSS CORPORATION manages a stormwater outfall facility located at 1262 Beagle Alley Rd in Elizabeth, Arkansas, within Fulton County. This operational outfall handles stormwater discharge from an industrial site classified under NAICS 212312 (crushed and broken limestone mining and quarrying). The facility is subject to the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities to protect water quality. As a stormwater outfall for a mining operation, the facility manages runoff from impervious surfaces and disturbed areas typical of quarry sites. The regulatory context includes compliance with the Clean Water Act and applicable state-level permits in Arkansas. Stormwater controls may involve sedimentation basins, vegetative buffers, or erosion prevention measures to mitigate pollutant loads such as sediment and heavy metals. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its potential impact on local waterways in the Ozark region. Proper management of stormwater from mining operations is critical to prevent degradation of streams and groundwater in this karst-rich area. The facility's role in the community is to ensure industrial runoff is treated or managed to meet permit limits, supporting both operational compliance and environmental stewardship.

The facility is located in the Ozark Highlands ecoregion, characterized by karst topography with limestone bedrock, sinkholes, and springs. Stormwater runoff from mining operations can carry sediment, metals, and other pollutants that may infiltrate groundwater or discharge to surface waters. The region's streams support diverse aquatic life, and impaired water quality from industrial runoff is a concern. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act aims to minimize these impacts through NPDES permits and best management practices.
