LOCKHEED MARTIN MFC-SH-6 Stormwater Outfall, East Camden, Arkansas

LOCKHEED MARTIN MFC-SH-6 is a stormwater outfall located in East Camden, Arkansas, within Calhoun County. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 336414 (aerospace product and parts 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 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) MS4 permits. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater from the Lockheed Martin manufacturing complex. Industrial stormwater outfalls of this type are typically designed to handle runoff from impervious surfaces such as parking lots, rooftops, and manufacturing areas. The regulatory context for this facility includes compliance with stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. Environmental significance lies in its role in managing stormwater quality in an industrial setting. The outfall discharges into local water bodies, which may be subject to water quality standards under the Clean Water Act. Proper operation helps prevent pollution from industrial activities, protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and community water resources in the Ouachita River basin region.

The facility is located in a rural area of southern Arkansas, near the Ouachita River basin. Industrial stormwater discharges can carry pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and sediments from manufacturing processes. The local environment includes forested and agricultural lands, with sensitive aquatic habitats that may be impacted by runoff. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's NPDES program requires monitoring and treatment to meet water quality standards.
