RAYTHEON COMPANY - RAYTHEON MISSLE SYSTSEMS Stormwater Outfall, Camden, Arkansas

RAYTHEON COMPANY - RAYTHEON MISSLE SYSTSEMS is a stormwater outfall located in the Highland Industrial Park on Highway 274 East in Camden, Ouachita County, Arkansas. This facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial site classified under NAICS 336414 (guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing). As a stormwater outfall, it discharges collected runoff into local waterways, subject to federal and state regulations. The facility operates under the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. In Arkansas, the Department of Energy and Environment administers these permits. The outfall likely requires compliance with monitoring and best management practices to control pollutants in runoff, given the industrial nature of the catchment area. Stormwater management at this site is critical to protecting water quality in the Ouachita River basin. The facility's location in an industrial park means runoff may contain potential contaminants from manufacturing processes. Proper operation helps mitigate impacts on downstream water bodies, supporting local ecosystems and community water resources.

The outfall discharges into the Ouachita River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic habitats and is used for recreation and water supply. Industrial stormwater runoff can carry pollutants such as heavy metals, oils, and sediments. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Water Act aims to minimize these impacts through NPDES permits requiring pollution prevention plans and monitoring.
