FORREST CITY READY MIX CONCRETE CO Stormwater Outfall, Forrest City, Arkansas

FORREST CITY READY MIX CONCRETE CO is a stormwater outfall located at 240 Turner Rd., Forrest City, Arkansas, United States. The facility operates in the ready-mix concrete manufacturing sector (NAICS 327320), which typically generates stormwater runoff containing sediment and concrete-related pollutants. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges into local waterways and is subject to federal and state stormwater regulations. The facility operates under the U.S. Clean Water Act framework, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Industrial stormwater discharges are regulated through Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits. The ready-mix concrete sector is covered under Sector E of the MSGP, which requires implementation of stormwater control measures, regular monitoring, and reporting. The facility's location in St. Francis County, Arkansas, places it within the Mississippi River watershed, a region with significant agricultural and industrial activity. Environmental significance lies in the potential for stormwater runoff to carry pollutants such as total suspended solids (TSS), pH fluctuations, and concrete washout to nearby water bodies. Proper management of stormwater at this facility helps protect local water quality and aquatic habitats. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions is critical for minimizing environmental impact in the Forrest City area.

The facility is located in St. Francis County, Arkansas, within the Mississippi River watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent rainfall, increasing the potential for stormwater runoff. Local water bodies may be sensitive to sediment and pH changes from concrete-related discharges. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act and Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment ensures that stormwater controls are in place to mitigate impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
