HUNTCO-JMS PROCESSING Stormwater Outfall, Blytheville, Arkansas | Industrial Stormwater Management

HUNTCO-JMS PROCESSING is a stormwater outfall located at 5027 N. County Rd. 1015 in Blytheville, Arkansas, within Mississippi County. The facility is operational and serves industrial activities associated with NAICS codes 331110 (iron and steel mills) and 423510 (metal service centers). As a stormwater outfall, it manages runoff from industrial catchments, which is a critical component of stormwater management in the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits. Given its industrial catchment, the outfall is subject to requirements for stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. The facility's location in the Mississippi River Delta region means it may discharge to waters that eventually reach the Mississippi River, a major waterway. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its role in managing stormwater from heavy industrial operations. Proper treatment and control of runoff are essential to prevent contamination of local waterways, particularly given the potential for metals and other industrial pollutants. The facility's compliance with NPDES permits helps protect water quality in the region, supporting both ecological health and community water resources.

The facility is located in the Mississippi River Delta region, an area characterized by extensive agricultural and industrial activity. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like HUNTCO-JMS PROCESSING can carry pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and sediments into nearby water bodies. The region's flat topography and high rainfall intensity increase the risk of runoff-related water quality issues. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act aims to mitigate these impacts through permit conditions and pollution prevention measures.
