PRODUCERS TRACTOR CO.-BRINKLEY Stormwater Outfall, Brinkley, Arkansas

PRODUCERS TRACTOR CO.-BRINKLEY is a stormwater outfall located at 614 E CYPRESS ST in Brinkley, Monroe County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a point of discharge for stormwater runoff from an industrial area, typical of facilities regulated under the US EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. As a stormwater outfall, this facility is part of a network that manages runoff from impervious surfaces, helping to control flooding and reduce pollutant loads. In Arkansas, stormwater management is governed by state and federal regulations, including the Clean Water Act. The facility likely operates under a general permit for industrial stormwater discharges, requiring monitoring and best management practices to minimize environmental impact. The environmental significance of this outfall lies in its role in protecting local water quality. Discharges from industrial areas can carry pollutants such as sediment, oil, and heavy metals. Proper management at this outfall helps mitigate impacts on receiving waters, which may include streams or rivers in the Mississippi River basin. The facility's location in a rural county underscores the importance of stormwater controls even in less urbanized settings.

The outfall is located in Monroe County, Arkansas, within the Mississippi Alluvial Plain ecoregion. This area is characterized by flat topography and agricultural land use, with surface waters draining to the Mississippi River. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like this can introduce pollutants such as sediment, nutrients, and hydrocarbons into local waterways. Regulatory oversight under the EPA's NPDES program aims to control these discharges through permits and best management practices, protecting aquatic habitats and downstream water quality.
