JET ASPHALT & ROCK COMPANY, INC - FORDYCE PLANT is a stormwater outfall located at 2958 North Highway 167 in Fordyce, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 324121, which corresponds to asphalt paving mixture and block manufacturing. This industrial setting influences the stormwater management practices at the site. The facility operates within the regulatory framework of the United States Clean Water Act, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. As an industrial stormwater outfall, it is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements, specifically under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial activities. The NAICS code indicates that the site is involved in asphalt production, which typically requires stormwater controls to manage runoff from material storage, processing areas, and vehicle traffic. The environmental significance of this facility lies in its potential to discharge stormwater runoff containing pollutants such as sediment, oil, grease, and heavy metals common to asphalt manufacturing. Proper stormwater management is essential to protect local water quality in the Fordyce area. The facility's compliance with NPDES permit conditions helps mitigate impacts on nearby water bodies and supports broader community water quality goals.
Environmental context
The facility is located in Fordyce, Arkansas, within the Ouachita River watershed. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with significant rainfall, which increases the potential for stormwater runoff from industrial sites. The asphalt manufacturing process generates pollutants such as hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and suspended solids that can be transported via stormwater to local streams and rivers. Effective stormwater management is critical to prevent degradation of aquatic habitats and to maintain compliance with water quality standards under the Clean Water Act.
