SELECT CONCRETE CO, LLC Stormwater Outfall, Dumas, Arkansas | USA

SELECT CONCRETE CO, LLC is a stormwater outfall facility located at 9013 HWY 54 in Desha County, Dumas, Arkansas. The facility is operational and classified under NAICS code 327320 (Ready-Mix Concrete Manufacturing), indicating an industrial catchment area. As a stormwater outfall, it discharges stormwater runoff from the concrete manufacturing site into local waterways. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. Stormwater discharges from industrial activities are typically regulated under NPDES Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits. The facility's location in Arkansas places it under the jurisdiction of the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality. Stormwater outfalls from concrete manufacturing facilities can carry pollutants such as sediment, pH-elevated runoff, and concrete washout. Proper management through best management practices (BMPs) is essential to protect receiving waters. The facility's discharge likely enters a tributary of the Mississippi River basin, given its location in the Arkansas Delta region.

The facility is located in the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain, an agriculturally intensive region with numerous water bodies sensitive to sedimentation and nutrient loading. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like concrete manufacturing can introduce alkaline pH, suspended solids, and trace metals into local streams. The area's flat topography and clay soils can exacerbate runoff volumes during heavy rainfall events, increasing the risk of erosion and pollutant transport to downstream water bodies.
