England Oil Field Services, Inc. Stormwater Outfall, England, Arkansas

England Oil Field Services, Inc. is a stormwater outfall facility located at 265 Windy Lynn Rd, England, Arkansas, within Lonoke County. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from an industrial site, classified under NAICS code 333132 (Oil and Gas Field Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, specifically under the Clean Water Act's stormwater regulations for industrial activities. The facility operates within the regulatory context of the NPDES Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial stormwater discharges. This permit requires facilities to develop and implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to minimize pollutant runoff. The outfall likely discharges to a nearby waterbody, and compliance with effluent limits and monitoring requirements is essential to protect local water quality. Located in central Arkansas, the facility's stormwater management is important for mitigating the impact of industrial runoff on the Arkansas River basin. Proper operation helps prevent contamination from oil, grease, and other pollutants associated with oil field equipment manufacturing. The facility contributes to the broader stormwater infrastructure in the region, supporting both environmental protection and industrial activity.

The facility is situated in the Arkansas River basin, a region with significant agricultural and industrial activity. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like this one can carry pollutants such as oil, grease, heavy metals, and sediments into local waterways. The area's climate, with seasonal heavy rainfall, increases the risk of runoff events. Effective stormwater management is crucial to protect the ecological health of receiving waters, which support diverse aquatic life and are used for recreation and drinking water supply.
