WHITE RIVER MARINE GROUP, LLC Stormwater Outfall, Flippin, Arkansas

WHITE RIVER MARINE GROUP, LLC operates a stormwater outfall facility located at 470 W Industrial Park Rd in Flippin, Arkansas, United States. This facility is classified under NAICS code 336612 (Boat Building) and manages stormwater discharge from an industrial catchment area. As a stormwater outfall, it is subject to the US EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting framework, specifically under the Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) for industrial activities. The facility operates within the regulatory context of the Clean Water Act, which requires stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity to obtain NPDES permit coverage. In Arkansas, the Department of Energy and Environment - Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ) administers the NPDES program. The outfall likely includes best management practices (BMPs) such as sediment basins, oil-water separators, or vegetative buffers to control pollutants before discharge. This stormwater outfall serves the White River Marine Group's boat manufacturing operations, contributing to local economic activity in Marion County. The facility's discharge may affect the White River watershed, which is ecologically significant for aquatic habitats. Proper stormwater management helps protect water quality in receiving streams, supporting both environmental and community water resource goals.

The facility is located in the Ozark Mountains region of Arkansas, an area characterized by karst topography and sensitive aquatic ecosystems. Stormwater runoff from industrial sites can carry pollutants such as sediment, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons into nearby waterways. The White River, a major tributary of the Mississippi River, supports diverse fish populations and is a popular recreational resource. Effective stormwater management is critical to prevent degradation of water quality and maintain the ecological health of the watershed.
