FEDEX EXPRESS- MPJA Stormwater Outfall, Conway, Arkansas | United States

FEDEX EXPRESS- MPJA is a stormwater outfall located at 1400 EW Martin Drive in Conway, Faulkner County, Arkansas. The facility is operational and serves an industrial site classified under NAICS 492110 (Couriers and Express Delivery Services). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges runoff from the FedEx Express facility into the local drainage system. The facility operates under the U.S. EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework. Stormwater discharges from industrial activities are regulated under the Clean Water Act, requiring compliance with stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and monitoring for pollutants. In Arkansas, the Department of Energy and Environment administers the NPDES program, including permits for industrial stormwater outfalls like this one. The outfall's location in Conway, a growing city in central Arkansas, means it contributes to the stormwater management of an urbanizing area. Proper management of industrial stormwater is important to protect receiving waters, which may include streams and rivers in the Arkansas River basin. The facility's role is to convey runoff while minimizing pollutant loads through best management practices.

The outfall discharges into the Arkansas River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic habitats and is used for recreation and water supply. Industrial stormwater runoff can carry pollutants such as sediment, oil and grease, and heavy metals. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions is critical to prevent degradation of local water quality.
