Delta Regional Unit-Maintenance is a stormwater outfall located at 880 East Gaines Street in Dermott, Arkansas, within the United States. This facility is operational and plays a role in managing stormwater runoff in the region, which is part of the Mississippi Delta area known for its agricultural and industrial activities. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for stormwater discharges. As a stormwater outfall, it is likely subject to MS4 permit requirements, either as part of a Phase I or Phase II small municipality program. The NAICS code 922140 indicates it is associated with correctional institutions, suggesting the outfall may serve a facility like a prison or detention center. Stormwater outfalls in this region are important for controlling runoff from urban and industrial areas, helping to prevent flooding and reduce pollutant loads to local water bodies. The facility's location in the Lower Mississippi River basin means its discharges could affect sensitive aquatic ecosystems. Proper management ensures compliance with the Clean Water Act and protects water quality in the region.

The facility is located in the Mississippi Delta region, which is characterized by flat topography, agricultural land use, and a network of rivers and bayous. Stormwater runoff from urban and industrial areas can carry sediments, nutrients, and other pollutants into local waterways. The outfall likely discharges into a tributary of the Mississippi River, which is a major water body with water quality concerns related to nutrient pollution and hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act aims to minimize these impacts through NPDES permits and best management practices.
