KENNAMETAL GREENFIELD IPG Stormwater Outfall, Bentonville, Arkansas

KENNAMETAL GREENFIELD IPG is a stormwater outfall located at 1602 E Central St in Bentonville, Arkansas. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 333515 (cutting tool manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, operating under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES MS4 permit program. The facility is situated in Benton County, within the city of Bentonville, which is part of the larger Northwest Arkansas region. Stormwater management in this area is typically governed by Phase II MS4 permits for small municipalities, requiring best management practices to control pollution from urban runoff. The industrial nature of the catchment area may involve specific stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) to address potential contaminants from manufacturing activities. This outfall contributes to local flood control and water quality protection by conveying stormwater away from industrial areas. Its discharge may ultimately reach the Illinois River watershed, which is a focus of regional water quality efforts. Proper operation helps mitigate erosion, flooding, and pollutant loading in receiving waters, supporting community and environmental health.

The facility discharges stormwater from an industrial area in Bentonville, which is part of the Illinois River watershed.
