MOTEN BORROW PIT SITE Stormwater Outfall, Fulton, Arkansas | USA

MOTEN BORROW PIT SITE is a stormwater outfall located at 3275 HWY 355 S in Fulton, Hempstead County, Arkansas, USA. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff in the area. As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network managing urban and industrial stormwater flows. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permits. This framework applies to both Phase I and Phase II municipalities, requiring permits for stormwater discharges to protect water quality. The NAICS code 212321 indicates the site is associated with construction sand and gravel mining, suggesting the outfall may manage runoff from industrial or mining activities. The environmental significance of MOTEN BORROW PIT SITE lies in its role in controlling stormwater discharges that could impact local water bodies. Proper management of stormwater outfalls is critical to prevent erosion, flooding, and pollution of streams and rivers in the region. The facility contributes to the community's stormwater infrastructure, helping to mitigate the effects of runoff from developed areas.

The facility is located in Hempstead County, Arkansas, within the Red River watershed. Stormwater runoff from industrial and urban areas can carry pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, and heavy metals into local waterways. The site's proximity to mining operations (NAICS 212321) may increase the risk of sediment-laden discharges. Regulatory oversight under the NPDES MS4 program aims to control these discharges through best management practices and monitoring to protect water quality in receiving streams.
