Johnson Shop Stormwater Outfall, Fayetteville, Arkansas | United States

Johnson Shop is a stormwater outfall located at 6603 McGuire St in Fayetteville, Arkansas, within Washington County. As a stormwater outfall, it serves as a discharge point for stormwater runoff from the surrounding area, likely including urban and possibly industrial catchments. The facility is operational and falls under the regulatory oversight of the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program, which governs stormwater discharges in urbanized areas. In Arkansas, stormwater management is regulated by the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ), which implements the NPDES MS4 program. Johnson Shop, as a stormwater outfall, is part of a network designed to convey runoff to receiving waters while minimizing pollution. The facility's NAICS code 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) suggests its catchment may include transportation-related infrastructure. The environmental significance of Johnson Shop lies in its role in managing stormwater runoff in Fayetteville, a growing city in the Ozark region. Proper operation helps reduce flooding risks and protects water quality in local streams and the Illinois River watershed. The outfall's discharge may be subject to monitoring and best management practices to control pollutants like sediment, nutrients, and heavy metals common in urban runoff.

Johnson Shop discharges stormwater runoff from an urban catchment in Fayetteville, Arkansas, which is part of the Illinois River watershed. Urban runoff can carry pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, heavy metals, and pathogens, potentially impacting water quality in receiving streams. The facility operates under the US EPA NPDES MS4 permit program, which requires stormwater management plans to reduce pollutant loads and protect impaired waters. Local environmental concerns include erosion, habitat degradation, and eutrophication from nutrient runoff.
