LOCKHEED MARTIN MFC-SH-7 is a stormwater outfall located in East Camden, Calhoun County, Arkansas, United States. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 336414 (guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader infrastructure required to control and treat stormwater discharges from industrial activities. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Industrial stormwater outfalls like this one are typically covered under Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits, which require monitoring and management of stormwater runoff to prevent pollution of receiving waters. The outfall likely discharges to a nearby waterbody, with permit conditions addressing pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and chemicals associated with aerospace manufacturing. As part of the Lockheed Martin facility in East Camden, this outfall plays a role in managing stormwater from a significant industrial site in Arkansas. The region's climate, with seasonal rainfall, necessitates effective stormwater control to minimize erosion and pollutant transport. Proper operation of this outfall helps protect local water quality and supports compliance with federal and state environmental regulations.

The outfall is located in Calhoun County, Arkansas, an area with a humid subtropical climate and seasonal rainfall patterns. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like Lockheed Martin can carry pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and chemicals into receiving waters. The facility's discharge may affect local streams or rivers, making stormwater management critical for protecting aquatic ecosystems and downstream water quality. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act ensures that discharges meet water quality standards.
