TRIPLE B WOOD DEALERS Stormwater Outfall, Fordyce, Arkansas | USA

TRIPLE B WOOD DEALERS is a stormwater outfall located at 1615 Preston Drive in Fordyce, Dallas County, Arkansas, United States. The facility is operational and manages stormwater discharge from an industrial site classified under NAICS 321113 (Sawmills). As a stormwater outfall, it is part of the broader network of point sources regulated under the Clean Water Act. The facility operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, which governs stormwater discharges from industrial activities. In Arkansas, the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) administers the NPDES program. Industrial stormwater outfalls like this one are typically subject to monitoring requirements for pollutants such as total suspended solids, oil and grease, and pH. The outfall discharges stormwater runoff from the wood products facility, which may contain sediment and organic materials. Proper management of stormwater at industrial sites is critical to protect local water quality, particularly in the Ouachita River basin where Fordyce is located. The facility's compliance with its NPDES permit ensures that discharges meet applicable water quality standards.

Fordyce is situated in the Ouachita River watershed, which supports diverse aquatic habitats and is used for recreation and water supply. Industrial stormwater discharges from sawmills can carry pollutants such as sediment, wood debris, and leachates that may impact receiving waters. The Clean Water Act requires industrial facilities to implement stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) to minimize these impacts. The local climate, with moderate rainfall, necessitates effective stormwater management to prevent erosion and pollutant runoff.
