MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between
Watershed Conservation Resource Center
And
City of Fayetteville
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is made and entered into between the Watershed
Conservation Resource Center hereinafter referred to as WCRC and the City of Fayetteville
referred to as CITY.
A. PURPOSE
The purpose of this MOU is to establish a general framework for cooperation between the
WCRC and the CITY. The WCRC and the CITY propose to work together to conduct the 319
project entitled, "Demonstration of a Natural Channel Design to Restore a Stream Reach
Draining an Urbanized Sub-Watershed," to achieve the common goal of restoring an unstable
section of a stream to a morphologically stable form utilizing a natural channel design approach.
Such cooperation will serve the parties' mutual interest. The project description, schedule of
activities, budget, and roles and responsibilities of the WCRC and the CITY can be found in the
attached workplan.
B. STATEMENT OF MUTUAL INTERESTS AND BENEFITS
Increases in impervious area results in an increase in the frequency and magnitude of storm
events and these effects have been well documented in urbanizing areas. At the same time,
greater amounts of impervious area results in a reduction in sediment production from upland
erosion processes. These conditions result in a stream network that no longer has a sustainable
balance between the discharge of the stream and the sediment that must be transported to
maintain stable channel dimensions. This imbalance is revealed as stream channel instability and
channel enlargement. Increases in cross-sectional area from 4 to 12 times have been documented
in systems that are enlarging as a result of watershed land cover changes.
Channel enlargement has both local and regional effects on the stream network. Locally, the
unstable channel decreases the aesthetic quality of the area around the eroding creek. The
diversity of channel features is diminished by the loss of pool and riffle habitats and the loss of a
concentrated low-flow channel. On a regional basis, the enlargement of the stream channel
affects receiving streams due to the generation of greater volumes of fine sediment and bedload.
The fine sediment generated by the erosion of the stream channel has the potential to impact the
biology of downstream receiving waters by increasing turbidity, by filling interstitial spaces of
the gravel stream bed, and by clogging fish gills and suffocating eggs and benthic insect larvae.
Increased bedload due to channel instability in headwater tributaries also contributes
significantly to the amount of bedload that must be transported by downstream reaches of the
stream network.
The WCRC strives to protect, conserve, and restore natural resources by utilizing the watershed
approach, environmental outreach, and providing planning and technical assistance to
landowners, communities, and government. Implementing a natural channel design
demonstration project on a section of stream within or near the City of Fayetteville will help the
CITY to meet multiple local and regional objectives relating to stream channel instability, water
quality, and ecological services objectives. This is of benefit to the CITY because the effort will
lead to both aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration, improved water quality, reduced
streambank erosion, and improve aesthetics of the stream within the City of Fayetteville. This
effort will also help to promote the use of alternatives to traditional channel modifications in
urbanizing areas.
In consideration of the above premises, the parties agree as follows:
C. THE WCRC :
1 . Shall coordinate and carry-out all activities associated with the project as outlined in the
attached workplan as Tasks 1 -7.
2. Shall provide a method for the CITY to document their activities and show matching
funds.
D. THE CITY:
1 . Shall assist with the development of the final restoration design
2. Shall assist with the oversight of construction and implementation.
3. Will be responsible for providing a minimum of matching funds, $ 141 ,200, as shown in
the project budget (appendix 601 , page 14 and Appendix 602, page 15) and according to
the project schedule of the attached workplan.
4. Shall provide documentation of all project activities and associated matching funds.
5. Recognizes that their participation is an integral component in carrying out a successful
project that will result in improved water quality and habitat restoration. Non-
performance of any of the CITY' activities would be detrimental to the success of this
project. This agreement indicates the CITY' good faith intent to fulfill their agreed upon
roles as outlined in the attached workplan to the successful completion of the project. "

Ron Petrie, City Engineer 1�'� '
From: Sarah Wrede, Staff Engineer
Date: February 16, 2006
Subject: An ordinance to waive the requirements of competitive bidding and to approve
a proposed partnership agreement and cost share with the Watershed
Conservation Resource Center in the amount of $ 141 ,200 for a stream bank
restoration demonstration project in Gulley Park.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of a partnership agreement and cost share with the Watershed
Conservation Resource Center in the amount of $ 141 ,200.00 for a stream bank
restoration demonstration project in Gulley Park.
BACKGROUND
The Watershed Conservation Resource Center, WCRC, is a non-profit organization that
strives to protect, conserve, and restore natural resources by utilizing the watershed
approach, environmental outreach, and providing planning and technical assistance to
landowners, communities, and government. The principals of the WCRC are Sandi J.
Formica and Matthew A. Van Eps, P.E. Together they have over 27 years of progressive
environmental experience including stream stability assessment and restoration planning.
The Watershed Conservation Resource Center applied for and was selected for a Section
319 Grant from the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission to do a partnership and cost
share with the City of Fayetteville for a project titled "Demonstration of a Natural
Channel Design to Restore a Stream Reach Draining an Urbanized Sub-Watershed".
One task of the grant is to select the site. The Watershed Conservation Resource Center
and City of Fayetteville staff has evaluated several possible restoration sites based on
location, extent of stream instability, and potential for ecological service benefits. They
have identified Mud Creek Tributary in Gulley Park as an ideal candidate for restoration.

City Council Meeting of March 6, 2007
The Arkansas Natural Resources Commission will provide the Watershed Conservation
Resource Center $ 121 ,000.00 in Section 319 Grant monies and the City of Fayetteville
will provide $ 141 ,200.00 for a project total of $262,200.00.
DISCUSSION:
The goal of this project is to restore an unstable section of a stream to a morphologically
stable form utilizing a natural channel design approach. Using such an approach, many
additional objectives may be achieved including
1 . Reduction of sediment inputs to the watershed basin and improved water
quality.
2. Re-naturalization of the stream corridor in areas that have been cleared of
riparian vegetation.
3 . Reduction of the contraction of the stream network.
4. Increase ecological services in the watershed including the improvement
of aquatic habitat.
5. Improve aesthetics of the stream.
6. Provide alternatives to local developers and city planners by using a
natural channel restoration approach to transport sediment and flow, while
improving both water quality and habitat.
This project will be considered successful if a 75% percent reduction in suspended
sediment resulting from stream bank erosion is observed. Additional success of the
project will be demonstrated by the long-term stability of the restoration management
practices.
The Environmental Concerns Committee is in support of this project.
This project will aid the City in meeting its Stormwater Phase II permit requirements
specifically the "post-construction runoff control' minimum control measure which
requires reductions in pollutants from post-construction runoff.
The proposed project would begin March, 2007 and extend through December 31 , 2008.
BUDGETIMPACT
Currently, there is $662,617.28 remaining in the Drainage Study/Phase II Stormwater
Management account that has been designated for use to fund projects that improve
stormwater quality in the City of Fayetteville.

Re: FY 2006 Section 319(h) Grant Application - Proposals
Dear Mr. Van Eps:
Mike Huckabee
Governor
On December 20, 2005 the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission and the Nonpoint Support
Committee met and reviewed thirteen proposals to be considered for funding from our 2006
section 319(h) grant package. The proposals were prioritized according.to the needs of the
Nonpoint Source Management Program. Although all projects submitted had merit for funding,
the amount did not allow us to fund all projects. -
I am pleased to inform you that your proposal, "Demonstration of a Natural Channel
Design to Restorea Stream Reach Draining an Urbanized Sub -Watershed of
Hamstring Creek" Project was selected for funding. However, the workis just beginning. A
Nonpoint Source Management Officer will be contacting you within the next several weeks to
assist you in the. further development of your workplan and budget before submission to EPA
for approval. Generally EPA has questions and comments to address before finalizing the
workplan and securing funding. We look forward to working with you in the coming months. If
you have any questions, please contact Tony Ramick, NPS Management. Supervisor or one of
the NPS staff at 501-682-3901.

Project 06-600
Demonstration of a Natural Channel Design to Restore a Stream Reach Draining an
Urbanized Sub -Watershed
FY 2006, CWA Section 319(h)
Problem/Need Statement
Increases in impervious area results in an increase in the frequency and magnitude of storm
events and these effects have been well documented in urbanizing areas. At the same time,
greater amounts of impervious area results in a reduction in sediment production from upland
erosion processes. These conditions result in a stream network that no longer has a
sustainable balance between the discharge of the stream and the sediment that must be
transported to maintain stable channel dimensions. This imbalance is revealed as stream
channel instability and channel enlargement. Increases in cross-section area from 4 to 12 times
have been documented in systems that are enlarging as a result of watershed land cover
changes (Harvey and Watson 1986).
Channel enlargement has both local and regional effects on the stream network. Locally, the
unstable channel decreases the aesthetic quality of the area around the eroding creek. The
diversity of channel features is diminished by the loss of pool and riffle habitats and the loss of
a concentrated low -flow channel. On a regional basis, the enlargement of the stream channel
affects receiving streams due to the generation of greater volumes of fine sediment and
bedload. The fine sediment generated by the erosion of the stream channel has the potential
to impact the biology of downstream receiving waters by increasing turbidity, by filling
interstitial spaces of the gravel stream bed, and by clogging fish gills and suffocating eggs and
benthic insect larvae. Increased bedload due to channel instability in headwater tributaries also
contributes significantly to the amount of bedload that must be transported by downstream
reaches of the stream network. Several studies indicate that the sediment yield from sub -
watersheds experiencing channel enlargement represents the majority annual sediment budget
for downstream receiving streams (Barton 2003 and Trimble 1997). The increase in sediment
delivery to receiving streams decreases the stability of the receiving stream, which further
propagates the negative effect of stream instability.
Traditional approaches to addressing channel enlargement in urbanizing areas include
treatments such as, channelization and lining with concrete, use of rip -rap, and enclosure of the
tributary stream into a culvert system. These treatments may address some of the concerns
resulting from channel enlargement by reducing the amount of sediment produced at the site
level. However, most traditional approaches that attempt to treat channel enlargement are
expensive, do not improve aesthetics, decrease biodiversity, and generally move the imbalance
between streamflow and sediment transport to downstream property owners. A well planned,
progressive approach will treat these issues associated with channel enlargement, while
achieving many other socially and ecologically beneficial objectives.
General Project Description:
The City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, in cooperation with the Watershed Conservation Resource
Center (WCRC) proposes to implement a natural channel design demonstration project on a
Project Title: Demonstration of Natural Channel Design (WCRC)
Date: 9/8/2006
Version #3
Page _4_ of _19_.
section of stream within or near the City of Fayetteville. This project will help to meet multiple
local and regional objectives relating to stream channel instability, water quality, and ecological
services objectives. The objectives of the project include:
1) Naturalize the stream corridor in areas that have been cleared of riparian vegetation
2) Reduce stream channel enlargement
3) Prevent the contraction of the stream network
4) Increase aquatic habitat in the stream watershed
5) Improve aesthetics of the stream
6) Promote the use of alternatives to traditional channel modifications in urbanizing
areas by hosting a field day for local developers and city planners in Northwest
Arkansas.
These objectives would be achieved by utilizing a natural channel design approach and "soft"
engineering practices to stabilize the stream channel by incorporating natural materials into the
design. The stabilized channel will be designed to have a dimension, pattern and profile
capable of transporting water and sediment so that the channel remains stable. As part of the
restoration design, BMPs that address the quantity of stormwater runoff from contributing
residential areas will be considered. A site will be selected by the City of Fayetteville and the
WCRC and will be presented to the ANRC for their approval.
Part of this project will be to work with the City of Fayetteville to select a site for restoration.
Current loads for the future site can only be estimated based on typical conditions within the
City. Many channels within the City have become enlarged and incised. For a stream that has
become enlarged over the past 20 years from a general dimension of 2 by 4 feet (d x w) to a
current average dimension of 6 by 8 (d x w) and assuming a linear rate of erosion over a 1200
ft length and an average bulk density of 1.8 ton/yd3, the annual sediment loading rate is
roughly estimated to be 160 ton/yr. Assuming that the suspended sediment fraction of the
eroded channel material is 6.5%, the estimated suspended sediment production rate is 10.4
ton/yr. If a 75% suspended sediment reduction is achieved, suspended sediment loads would
be reduced to 2.6 ton/yr. These estimates will be improved by the collection of site specific
data during the course of the project.
The proposed project will help to meet key elements of either the Upper White River or the
Illinois River Watershed Management Strategies. Specific elements that are addressed are: 1)
"Identification of Causes and Sources of NPS Pollution" — streambank erosion; 2) "Milestones
and Criteria for Loading Reduction Effectiveness" — turbidity; and 3) "Schedule of
Implementation" (Action Items addressed) — urban runoff, action item "Conduct Technology
Transfer Workshops for City Planners, County Officials, Developers, Students, and Property
Owners on Proper Installation and Maintenance of Erosion and Sediment Control".
Success of the project will be documented by evaluating the stream channel condition prior to
and following the implementation of restoration activities. This project will be considered
successful if is a 75% reduction in suspended sediment resulting from streambank erosion is
observed through measuring erosion rates. Additional success of the project will be
demonstrated by the long-term stability of the restoration management practices.

Task 1: Financial Audit: A financial review of all financial records by CPA following agreed
upon procedures.
Task 2: Develop QAPP: A QAPP document will be developed to insure that all data collection
activities are performed in accordance with documented and approved techniques.
Task 3: Site Selection and Collection of Pre and Post Implementation Erosion Data:
A site for restoration will be selected based upon location, extent of stream instability, and
potential for ecological service benefits. In order to document the success of the channel
stabilization activities, the condition of streambanks in the proposed restoration area will be
documented. A BEHI will be used to determine the erosion potential of streambanks in the
reach of interest. Using the BEHI values observed, the amount of sediment generated by
streambank erosion will be estimate. Following restoration, the same procedure will be
performed and compared to the initial inventory. The difference of erosion estimates from pre
and post conditions will be used to document sediment reductions.
Task 4: Collect Reference Reach Data: This task is an essential element for designing a
restored channel that will remain in a stable form. Data from a stream that is identified as
being stable in the same physiographic region will be collected. Data collected from this stream
will be used to develop design parameters using a dimensionless ratio approach where various
attributes from the stable system will be appropriately scaled to the restoration reach to
develop the final design. The data collected during this task will also be available for other
restoration activities in the physiographic region where a natural channel design approach will
be utilized.
Task 5: Develop and Implement Restoration Design: A final natural channel restoration
design, developed from data collected in Task 4 and Task S will be prepared and implemented.
This task will require a full survey of the restoration site. The hydrologic impacts of increased
impervious surfaces due to residential development in the sub -watershed will be evaluated.
Materials and equipment for the implementation phase will be secured. Subsequent to the
implementation of the restoration design, monitoring of the site will be continued to determine
stability. Monitoring will consist of cross section measurements and photo documentation, in
addition to the BEHI inventory discussed in Task 3.
Task 6: Technology Transfer Field Day: Following the implementation of the channel
restoration activities, the site will be used as a tool for transferring the technology to
developers, city planners, and other professionals interested in natural resource protection. A
field day will be organized and held at the restored site, which will be an example to other
municipalities and developers as to how natural aesthetics of stream networks can be
maintained, or restored where lost, in urbanized environments.
Task 7: Reporting: All reports will be prepared and submitted (hard copies and
electronically) according to the grant requirements.
1. Quarterly reports will be submitted utilizing the format/forms provided electronically by
ANRC and will briefly state accomplishments made for each subtask. Quarterly reports
will also include implementation documentation (forms provided electronically by ANRC)
that contains the following information: Name and USDA-NRCS practice number, farm

number in which BMP was implemented, GPS or latitude/longitude of the BMP, number
or acres affected and the date BMP implementation was completed.
2. Annual reports will be submitted to ANRC by October 1 of each year during which
project the project is active. The Annual Report will contain a summary of the BMP
implementation documentation utilizing a form provided (electronically) by ANRC. In
addition, a narrative summary of the project activities that occurred in the previous
Federal Fiscal year (October 1— September 30) will be prepared.
3. A Final Report will be submitted to ANRC at the completion or the end date for the
project. The Final Report will be a narrative description and will encompass all activities
(from start to finish) related to the project. An executive summary as well as a final
outcome and/or conclusion section shall be contained in the Final Report. Two copies of
the report will be submitted to ANRC.
