STUART PETRROLEUM TESTERS, INC is a stormwater outfall facility located at 175 HWY 225 E in Greenbrier, Faulkner County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and serves as a discharge point for stormwater runoff from industrial operations, classified under NAICS code 213112 (Support Activities for Oil and Gas Operations). As a stormwater outfall, it plays a role in managing precipitation runoff from the site to prevent flooding and control pollutant discharges. 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 Multi-Sector General Permits (MSGP) or individual permits. The facility's location in Arkansas subjects it to state-level implementation of federal standards, with oversight from the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality. Stormwater outfalls like this one are critical for managing runoff quality and quantity, particularly in industrial settings where potential pollutants such as sediments, oils, and chemicals may be present. Proper operation helps protect local water bodies from contamination and supports compliance with water quality standards. The facility contributes to the broader stormwater management infrastructure in Faulkner County.

The facility is located in Greenbrier, Arkansas, within the Arkansas River basin. The region experiences a humid subtropical climate with significant rainfall, making stormwater management important for flood control and water quality. Industrial stormwater discharges can introduce pollutants such as sediment, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals into local waterways. The facility's outfall likely discharges to a nearby stream or river, which may be subject to Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements for pollutants like sediment or nutrients. Compliance with NPDES permit conditions is essential to protect aquatic ecosystems and downstream water uses.
