RUAN TRANSPORT CORPORATION Stormwater Outfall, Foreman, Arkansas | US Stormwater Facility

RUAN TRANSPORT CORPORATION is a stormwater outfall located in Foreman, Little River County, Arkansas, United States. The facility manages stormwater runoff from an industrial transport corporation site, operating under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act and EPA NPDES MS4 permits. As a stormwater outfall in Arkansas, the facility is subject to Phase II MS4 requirements for small municipalities and industrial stormwater permitting. The outfall likely handles runoff from impervious surfaces typical of transportation and logistics operations, including parking lots, loading areas, and vehicle maintenance zones. Stormwater management at such sites typically involves best management practices (BMPs) such as detention basins, oil-water separators, and sediment controls to reduce pollutant loads. The facility's operational status is active, contributing to local stormwater management in the Red River basin region. Proper operation of this outfall helps protect downstream water quality in Little River and associated water bodies, supporting community and environmental health in southwestern Arkansas.

The outfall discharges into the Little River watershed, which flows into the Red River and ultimately the Mississippi River. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with frequent heavy rainfall, increasing runoff volumes and pollutant transport potential. Industrial stormwater from transport operations may contain hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and sediments. Regulatory compliance with NPDES MS4 permits is critical to prevent impairment of local water bodies, which support aquatic ecosystems and recreational uses.
