PEPSI BEVERAGES COMPANY Stormwater Outfall, Camden, Arkansas | Industrial Stormwater Management

PEPSI BEVERAGES COMPANY operates a stormwater outfall facility located at 936 WASHINGTON NW in Camden, Ouachita County, Arkansas. This facility manages industrial stormwater discharges from a beverage production site, falling under the stormwater outfall category within the broader stormwater management sector. As an industrial facility in the United States, this outfall is subject to the Clean Water Act and EPA's NPDES permitting program. Industrial stormwater discharges are typically regulated under Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits, requiring implementation of stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and best management practices (BMPs) to control pollutants. The facility's location in Arkansas places it under the jurisdiction of the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality. The facility serves an industrial catchment in Camden, a city in southern Arkansas. Proper stormwater management at this site helps protect local water quality in receiving waters, which may include tributaries of the Ouachita River. Effective control of stormwater runoff from industrial areas reduces the transport of pollutants such as sediments, chemicals, and nutrients to downstream waterbodies.

The facility is located in Camden, Arkansas, within the Ouachita River basin. Industrial stormwater discharges from this site have the potential to affect local water quality, particularly if the receiving waterbody is impaired. The region's climate includes significant rainfall, which can increase runoff volumes and pollutant loads. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act aims to minimize impacts through permit conditions and pollution prevention measures.
