VULCAN CONSTRUCTION MAT. #5 Stormwater Outfall, Bradford, Arkansas

VULCAN CONSTRUCTION MAT. #5 is a stormwater outfall located at 180 Peacock Rd in Bradford, Arkansas, within White County. This facility is part of the United States' stormwater management infrastructure, serving an industrial site classified under NAICS 212319 (Other Crushed and Broken Stone Mining and Quarrying). As an operational outfall, it discharges stormwater runoff from the facility's catchment area. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the 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), which require implementation of stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs) and monitoring of effluent quality. The NAICS code suggests the site is involved in mining or quarrying, which may generate runoff with sediment and other pollutants. Environmental significance of this outfall lies in its potential impact on local water bodies. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites can carry pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons. Proper management through best management practices (BMPs) is essential to protect water quality in receiving streams. The facility's location in Arkansas, a state with diverse aquatic ecosystems, underscores the importance of compliance with NPDES permit conditions.

The facility is located in White County, Arkansas, an area with a mix of agricultural and industrial land uses. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites like this one can contribute sediment and other pollutants to nearby streams and rivers, potentially affecting aquatic habitats. Arkansas's water bodies are subject to state water quality standards, and discharges must comply with the Clean Water Act to prevent impairment.
