MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between
Watershed Conservation Resource Center
And
City of Fayetteville
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into and executed on the date indicated
below the signature block, by and between the Watershed Conservation Resource Center
hereinafter referred to as WCRC and the City of Fayetteville (CITY of FAYETTEVILLE).
A . PURPOSE
The purpose of this MOU is to establish a general framework for cooperation between the
WCRC and the CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE to conduct the project entitled, "West Fork Stream
Restoration at the Fayetteville Airport." The project will be completed in two phases: Phase I
Reach Restoration Plan Development and Phase 11 Reach Restoration Design Implementation."
The WCRC and the CITY OF FAYETTEVILLE have applied together and have received an
EPA 319 grant through the Arkansas Natural Resource Commission to conduct Phase I Reach
Restoration Plan Development. The WCRC, the award recipient, and the CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE will work to achieve the common goal of restoring an unstable section of
West Fork White River (WFWR) to a morphologically stable form utilizing a natural channel
design approach. The WFWR flows through a portion of the City of Fayetteville' s Municipal
Airport' s property. The WFWR is a tributary located in the Beaver Lake watershed, the major
drinking water source for Northwest Arkansas. During Phase I of this project, a restoration plan
will be developed for approximately 2,800 to 3 ,000 linear feet of river on the WFWR. Upon
completion of the reach restoration plan, a Phase 11 workplan will be developed and additional
funding will be applied for through 319 for implementation. Innovative approaches will be used
in designing and implementing the river restoration that will 1 ) result in improved water quality
of the WFWR and Beaver Lake and 2) address severe streambank erosion, while restoring
aquatic and terrestrial habitat and maintaining a sustainable, natural hydrology. Such
cooperation will serve the parties' mutual interest. For Phase 1, the project description, schedule
of activities, budget, and roles and responsibilities of the WCRC and the CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE can be found in the attached workplan. The Phase 11 workplan will be
developed once the river restoration design has been completed.
B. STATEMENT OF MUTUAL INTERESTS AND BENEFITS
Within the WFWR watershed, an Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality assessment
estimated that accelerated streambank erosion contributed 66% of an average sediment load of
35,795 tons/yr for the system (Formica, et, at, 2004). In Arkansas, accelerated streambank
erosion is typically addressed through streambank stabilization. The success of bank
stabilization varies, and depending on the degree of instability, bank stabilization may only be a
short term solution. In many cases where channel instability has been triggered, regardless of
cause, the entire area of instability needs to be addressed. An unstable reach can have several
eroding streambanks, be aggrading or degrading, and/or have a pattern or profile problem.
EXHIBIT
A
1
Restoration utilizing natural channel design techniques is an innovative approach which can
address all of these problems.
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 at the Fayetteville Municipal Airport helps the CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE to meet multiple local and regional objectives relating to river channel
instability, water quality, and ecological services. This project is of benefit to the CITY OF
FAYETTEVILLE because it is a component the City' s Nutrient Reduction Plan and will lead to
both aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration, improved water quality in the form of both
phosphorus and sediment reductions, reduced streambank erosion, and improve aesthetics of the
WFWR. This effort will also help to promote the use of alternatives to traditional channel
modifications in both urbanizing and rural areas.
The Watershed Conservation Resource Center (WCRC), in partnership with the City of
Fayetteville, will implement a natural channel design restoration at the second priority site on the
WFWR in need of channel restoration (see attached workplan). The attached workplan describes
Phase 1, in which a reach restoration plan will be developed for approximately 2,800 to 3 ,000
linear feet of river on the West Fork White River that runs through a portion of the City of
Fayetteville' s Municipal Airport property (Airport Site). The reach restoration plan will be
implemented through the Phase 11 workplan. The property owners adjacent to the site have also
expressed their concerns regarding the river instability and would like for this section of the
WFWR to be restored.
At the project site there are vertical cut-banks eroding city and privately owned property. These
banks contribute sediment and nutrients to the river. Restoring the Airport Site will result in
approximately 1 , 144 tons of sediment per year reduction and approximately 476 pounds of
phosphorus per year reduction for an average flow year. The WCRC will use a natural channel
design approach which is an innovative technique to design and construct a river restoration that
will reduce instability, reduce sediment and nutrient loads, and enhance the aquatic habitat. The
design will include constructing floodplains, rock structures that deflect flow away from banks,
and defined riffles and pools.
The project site lies in the Boston Mountain Ecoregion. A re-vegetation plan will be developed
that encourages the growth of native species and plant selection will be based on
recommendations from local plant and ecosystem experts. The river corridor will be re-
vegetated with native grasses, shrubs, and trees to enhance the native vegetation, reduce soil
erosion, and to improve the removal of pollutants from stormwater runoff.
The reach restoration of the Airport Site will help to meet multiple local and regional objectives
relating to river channel instability, water quality, and habitat. The benefits of the project include
the following:
1 ) The second priority reach in need of restoration for the WFWR will be restored;
2) Sediment and phosphorus loadings to the WFWR from accelerated streambank erosion will
be reduced by over 80%, improving the water quality of the WFWR and Beaver Lake;
3) The restoration will address river instability along with landowner and local objectives;
4) The restoration will restore degraded and protect existing high quality riparian areas;
2
5) Both aquatic and terrestrial habitat will be enhanced throughout the site.
6) The river restoration will result in improved riffle-pool bed features, which will help to
increase water retention and aeration resulting in better assimilation of nutrients.
7) The channel will be restored to a natural hydrology and channel enlargement will be reduced
resulting in enhanced aquatic and terrestrial habitat.
8) The aesthetics of the river will be improved.
9) The site will provide education opportunities for alternative design methods to address
accelerated streambank erosion with a focus on ecological restoration, enhancement, and
sustainability.

The West Fork White River (WFWR)
N1B8ouri watershed, located in Northwest
P2dM1lW6\WLYfLAp ay'k Arin"
Arkansas, is a major tributary of
Beaver Lake, which is the primary
Camp drinking water source for over
` „ 300,000 people in Northwest
tru Arkansas. The WFWR is located in
the Beaver Reservoir Hydrologic Unit
Area (HUA) — 11010001. The WFWR
? 10- digit HUA is 11010004, which
�^ contains four 12-digit HUAs,
1101004 1-4 . WFWR is part of
t ' ` Arkansas Department of
t._
Environmental Quality's (ADEQ)
planning Segment 4K — Upper White
River and Kings River. As defined by
Regulation Number 2, the WFWR is
designated for propagation of fish
and wildlife; primary and secondary contact recreation; and domestic, agricultural and industrial
water supplies. The aquatic life use was assessed as not supported for the entire length of the
WFWR because of high turbidity levels and excessive silt loads and was placed on the State's
303 (d) list of impaired streams in 1998 by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality
(ADEQ) (ADEQ, 1998). The major causes cited were 'high turbidity levels and excessive silt
loads." The ADEQ 2008 section 303(d) list, which is a list of State water bodies that do not
meet or are not expected to meet applicable water quality standards, continues to show the
WFWR as impaired because of sedimentation from surface erosion (ADEQ, 2008). A TMDL for
sediment loading of the WFWR was completed in 2006 that calls for a TSS load reduction of
53% during base flow and 58% during storm events (FTN, 2006). The causes of the
impairment were investigated through a comprehensive watershed -based assessment
conducted by the ADEQ Environmental Preservation Division (ADEQ 2004). A detailed
description of watershed characteristics is presented in the ADEQ study along with methods and
approaches used to identify sediment and nutrient sources and subsequent estimates of
average annual loads of these constituents to the river. The WFWR is part of the headwaters
of the White River Basin, which winds its way through NW Arkansas, SW Missouri, and then
back to Arkansas where it eventually converges with the Mississippi River. The WFWR
watershed has an area of approximately 124 square miles or 79,360 acres and is nestled in the
Boston Mountains of Washington County (Figurel). The watershed is, in large part, steep and
stony and covered with hardwoods. The watershed includes the cities of West Fork, Greenland,
and Winslow, along with the southwest corner of the city of Fayetteville.

characteristics and
typical location
(SCS,
1969):
• Enders -Allegheny -Hector association: Deep and shallow soils with a moderate to high
hydraulic conductivity found on the side slopes of mountains.
• Linker-Apison-Hector association: Moderately deep and shallow with high to very high
hydraulic conductivity commonly found on level to rolling mountaintops.
• Fayettevil le -Hector -Mountain burg association: loamy soils that are deep and shallow
with a high to very high hydraulic conductivity, found on slopes on mountaintops.
• Sava nnah-Cleora- Razort association: Deep loamy soils with a high to very high
hydraulic conductivity found on flat to gently sloping alluvial terraces and flood plains.
Elevations in the WFWR watershed range from 1,136 to 2,248 feet. Evaluation of 2006 satellite
derived land use data indicates that there are 11,000 acres of pasture including warm and cool
season grasses. The land use data indicates that in the WFWR watershed there are 52,400
acres of forestland.
Problem/Need Statement
An ADEQ WFWR watershed assessment identified the sources of sediment contributing to the
silt loads and turbidity levels (ADEQ, 2004). Within the WFWR watershed, the ADEQ
assessment estimated that accelerated streambank erosion contributed 66% of an average
sediment load of 35,795 tons/yr for the system and that one 0.7 mile reach contributed 25% of
the streambank erosion load (Formica, et, al, 2004). The study evaluated approximated 190
streambanks that showed signs of accelerated streambank erosion (Van Eps, et., al, 2004).
Agriculture land uses compose 29% of the WFWR watershed area; most of this land is utilized
as pasture for hay production and cattle grazing along floodplains, mountain benches, and
mountain tops (ADEQ, 2004). Due to the proximity of many agricultural operations to the
WFWR and major tributaries, producers are typically impacted by river channel instability
through loss of property. The causes of accelerated streambank erosion are complex and can
be attributed to a number of factors, such as, removal of riparian vegetation, change in the
flow regime from runoff increases, cattle access to the stream, historical changes in land -use
that impacts the local hydrology, and channel alteration. These causes have an accumulative
effect on the stream system, and in some cases, have been occurring over decades. Not only
does channel instability result in a loss of land to the agricultural producer, but all watershed
stakeholders are impacted by the effects of river instability including, loss of aquatic habitat and
riparian areas and degradation of stream and lake water quality.
In Arkansas, accelerated streambank erosion is typically addressed through streambank
stabilization. The success of bank stabilization varies, and depending on the degree of
instability, bank stabilization may only be a short term solution. In many cases where channel
instability has been triggered, regardless of cause, the entire area of instability needs to be
addressed. An unstable reach can have several eroding streambanks, be aggrading or
degrading, and/or have a pattern or profile problem. Restoration utilizing natural channel
design techniques is an innovative approach which can address all of these problems.
In 2005, the Watershed Conservation Resource Center (WCRC) was awarded a Natural
Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Conservation Partnership Initiative (CPI) grant for the
El

WFWR watershed. One of the objectives of the CPI grant was to prioritize unstable reaches
with accelerated streambank erosion for restoration based upon the environmental and water
quality benefits that would be achieved at a watershed scale. Eight criteria were used including
sediment load contribution from lateral stream bank erosion to prioritize sections for
restoration. Twenty nine reaches were identified as needing restoration ranging from 1,200
feet to 5,000 feet in length. These reaches are listed in order of priority in Appendix #01. The
three top priority reaches in need of restoration are R16, R13, and R24, respectively. The 29
reaches were divided into three priority groups, one being the highest, based on scores and are
displayed by their grouping on the watershed map in Appendix #02. The reaches listed in
Group 1 priority represents approximately 4.73 miles of river with eroding banks contributing an
average of 12,800 tons of sediment per year with Reach 16 contributing 7,300 tons per year
and Reach 13 contributing 1,430 tons per year (ADEQ, 2004).
Typically agricultural producers bear the problems resulting from river channel instability,
though the causes are far more extensive than the activities associated with one individual or
stakeholder. Providing a mechanism to restore these priority reaches on the WFWR will result
in a significant sediment load reduction to the stream and to Beaver Lake, while creating
habitat and other benefits to the local community.
Other benefits from successful stream restorations using a natural channel design approach
include 1) phosphorus and nitrogen load reductions from eroding pastures; 2) addressing head
cuts within reaches; and 3) establishing new and protecting existing riparian vegetation. For a
restoration effort to be successful, local objectives and issues will need to be identified and
considered, such as, the use of ATVs and other vehicles within and along the river channel; low
water bridge structures creating debris jams; gravel, rock, and sand mining within the channel
along with bank excavation for artifacts; long-term maintenance; and increase runoff from land
use changes.
Project 04-700: West Fork White River Stream Restoration at Brentwood, AR
The ANRC funded the WCRC to design and implement a WFWR stream restoration plan for a
section of river near the town of Brentwood, AR to reduce sediment contributions to the river.
The selected site was reach 24, the 3rd priority site listed in Appendix #01. A map indicated the
locations of each of the prioritized sites can be found in Appendix #02. Project partners
included Beaver Water District, Arkansas Game & Fish Commission, and West Fork
Environmental Protection Association who has recently changed their name to West Fork
Watershed Alliance. The Northwest Arkansas Land Trust was contracted by Beaver Water
District to design and implement a conservation easement program for the watershed. The
WCRC worked with three landowners and project partners to restore a 1,600 ft. section of the
West Fork White River. The project was funded by an EPA Section 319(h) grant administered
by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission with matching funds provided by project
partners. The project was initiated in 2007 and implementation activities were completed in
September 2009.
The WCRC designed a natural channel to stabilize the stream banks and reduce sediment loads
within the WFWR. To do this, the stream channel was realigned away from the worst of the
exposed banks. Structures made of natural materials were added to deflect higher velocity
flow toward the center of the channel, further reducing near -bank shear stress and thus

providing a stable streambank with minimal erosion. In the process, a series of four settling
ponds that act as ephemeral wetlands were constructed in the old stream bed where a majority
of the pre -restoration erosion was occurring. These basins provide both water quality
and habitat improvements. The water level of these ponds fluctuates with the river water
levels. Also, runoff from the state highway flows and infiltrates through the pond system.
Except during high flows, water slowly leaves the pond area by infiltrating through the soil and
gravel substrates, filtering out sediment and other contaminants in the water column. A
generalized layout of the stream restoration design can be found in Appendix #03.
The preservation and addition of vegetation was a key component of this design. During
construction, special attention was taken to minimize disturbances to existing vegetation in
order to keep root mass intact for additional bank stability. Topsoil removed to form the new
channel was initially stockpiled and then redistributed towards the end of construction in order
to provide essential nutrients and structure for the new vegetation. Coconut fiber matting was
laid across much of the site immediately after construction in order to minimize erosion and
provide a seed bed for the mixture of native grasses and wildflowers that were seeded. Plants
were also harvested from the surrounding areas and placed strategically throughout the site.
Finally, sod mats, layers of soil and live vegetation taken from the fringe of a nearby pasture,
were placed across the newly disturbed areas providing instant erosion protection and plant
growth. Before and after pictures of the restored site can be found in Appendix #04.
The implementation of the restoration has shown to be successful to date. By relocating the
stream channel and utilizing a natural channel design approach, the reach of river was restored
and no longer exhibits signs of the severe lateral streambank erosion. Streambank erosion
measurements taken prior to implementation of the restoration design found lateral erosion
rates as high as 13 ft/yr within the project site. Based on these measurements, streambank
erosion for this section of river prior to restoration generated 1,400 tons/yr of sediment that
entered the WFWR. Three major storm events have occurred since the restoration was
constructed; based on cross section measurements and field observations, streambank erosion
of the new channel has been reduced by at least 95%. The estimated sediment and
phosphorus load reduction for an average flow year is approximately 1,330 ton/yr and
450 Ib/yr, respectively.
The project will be ongoing through September 2010 to continue to monitor the site and to
collect data to support load estimate reductions, to continue seeking conservation easements;
and to continue public outreach. The Northwest Arkansas Land Trust are seeing conservation
easements with the landowners at the airport site through this program.
General Project Description
The Watershed Conservation Resource Center (WCRC), in partnership with the City of
Fayetteville, proposes to implement a natural channel design restoration at the CPI project
second priority site, R13, as shown in Appendix #01. This workplan covers Phase I, in which a
reach restoration plan will be developed for approximately 2,800 to 3,000 linear feet of stream
on the West Fork White River that runs through the City of Fayetteville's Municipal Airport
(Airport Site). The reach restoration plan will be implemented through the Phase II workplan.
The property owners adjacent to the site have also expressed their concerns regarding the
stream instability and would like for this section of the WFWR to be restored. The location of
Project Title West Fork Stream Restoration at Fayetteville Airport

Page 7 of 31 .
the Airport Site (R13) is shown in Appendix #02. Based on the CPI project, restoration of
Priority #2, R13, the Airport Site will result in approximately 1,144 tons of sediment per year
reduction or 80% of 1,430 tons/yr (WCRC, 2008 draft). The estimated sediment loads is based
on an erosion rate estimate that is derived from streambank erosion prediction curves
developed for the WFWR (ADEQ, 2004). The prediction is based on stream bank erosion
potential and near bank shear stress of the channel for the proposed reach. A study evaluating
the contribution of total phosphorus from erosion of streambank materials showed that
nationally, soils contain an average of 1.2 Ibs total phosphorus/ton of soil (DeWolfe et al.,
2004). Regionally, soils data collected by the University Cooperative Extension Service from
pastures in the West Fork White River watershed showed average phosphorus concentrations in
soils ranging from 8 Ib/ac to 583 Ib/ac (ADEQ, 2004). Assuming a total phosphorus value of 200
Ib/ac, the estimate of total pounds of phosphorus per ton of soil is 0.34 lb/ton, which is 25% of
the national average. Using this value, restoration of the identified site would reduce
phosphorus loading to the WFWR by an estimated 476 pounds per year.
This project supports goals established in another 319(h) Project entitled "West Fork White
River — Stream Restoration Project'. This project (FY 07-400) recommends that the top three
priority reaches be restored as described in the previous section. Also, Project FY 07-400
established a conservation easement program for the West Fork White River. Both property
owners at the Airport Site have also expressed an interested in participating in the conservation
easement program established by Project FY 07-400.
ANRC 319(h) project FY 07-400 resulted in the restoration of the 3rd highest ranked priority site
identified for restoration in the WFWR watershed. In doing so, the restoration resulted in the
reduction of sediment loads from the restored river reach. It is estimated that annual sediment
loading from the site prior to restoration was 845 tons/yr. Based on streambank erosion
potential following implementation activities, sediment loading reductions are estimated to be
97% less when compared to pre -restoration conditions. The site has been restored to a fully
functional condition.
The reach restoration of the Airport Site will help to meet multiple local and regional objectives
relating to stream channel instability, water quality, and habitat. The objectives of the project
include:
1) Develop a site specific Reach Restoration Plan to
a. restore the second priority reach as defined by the prioritization methods
developed by the WCRC as part of a USDA Conservation Partnership
Initiative (Appendix #01 & #02) on the WFWR;
b. reduce sediment and phosphorus loadings to the WFWR from accelerated
streambank erosion;
c. address stream instability along with landowner and local objectives;
d. restore degraded and protect existing high quality riparian areas; and
e. enhance both aquatic and terrestrial habitat restoration.
2) Provide coordination between landowners and local land trust to create conservation
easements, where possible; in the restored stream reach using an easement
program developed for the WFWR through FY 07-400. Easements will be held by
Project Title West Fork Stream Restoration at Fayetteville Airport

the Northwest Arkansas Land Trust and funding for the easements will be provided
by the Beaver Water District.
3) Increase awareness and promote the use of natural channel design among
landowners and the public.
Using a natural channel design approach, a restoration design will be developed in Phase I and
implemented in Phase II. Conservation practices of reach restoration will include installation of
grade control structures, rock veins, and wood mattresses; development of bankfull benches;
and reestablishing riparian areas. The channel dimensions, pattern, and profile will be modified
to mimic a stable reach based upon reference reach conditions for a similar physiographic
region. Along with site data, reference reach data will reviewed and if needed additional data
will be collected, to provide basic information needed for the site design. Construction level
design plans will be created along with a re -vegetation plan. Also, the reach restoration plan
developed will address landowner objectives and local issues that can impact the success of the
design. Landowners will be encouraged to participate in the conservation easement program to
provide continued access to the restoration project and to provide matching funds for additional
restoration. Success of the constructed restoration will be evaluated based on sediment
reduction and long-term stability of the restored site. The restoration will be designed to
function through a wide variety of stream discharges including flood events. However no
natural channel design restoration can be guaranteed to withstand flood events that are
catastrophic or unforeseen changes in the watershed upstream of the restored site. Also,
maintenance following flood events is required to ensure functionality of the restoration into the
future.
This project will be initiated November 15, 2009 and will be conducted over a two year period.
A general project schedule with milestones follows:
December 1, 2009 —January, 2010.. QAPP developed & approved, Assist with seeking
conservation easements.
January— May 2010. Field data will be collected; erosion evaluation sites will be established
installed; and initial biological data will be collected.
APr#2010—December 2010.. Reach Restoration Plan (RRP) developed
March 2010 - May 2011: Site preparation for construction
Public awareness activities include two field days of previous 319 funded restoration sites, a
poster presentation, and one fact sheet. The West Fork Watershed Alliance (formerly called the
West Fork Environmental Protection Association), a local watershed group, will assist with the
public awareness activities. The goal of the outreach component is to encourage landowners to
participate in future potential restoration projects, to encourage the use of stream channel
restoration techniques to reduce streambank erosion at other suitable sites, and to improve the
general public's awareness of stream channel instability issues and the impacts resulting from
severe streambank erosion.
Specific project tasks and description are as follows:
Task 1: Financial Audit: A financial review of all financial records by CPA following agreed
upon procedures.
Project Title West Fork Stream Restoration at Fayetteville Airport
Date: 11/17/2006
Version #: 1
Page 9 of 31 .
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. Data
collection consists of geomorphic data associated with the reach restoration, reference reach
conditions, and gage stations. Also, erosion data collection will be included to document
sediment loading reductions.
Task 3: Pre Implementation Monitoring: In order to document the success of the channel
restoration activities, the condition of streambanks in the proposed restoration area will be
documented. A Bank Erosion Hazard Index (BEHI) and an evaluation of Near Bank Shear
Stress (NBSS) will be used to determine the erosion potential of streambanks in the selected
reach. Using the BEHI values and NBSS observed, the amount of sediment generated by
streambank erosion will be estimated. Toe pins will be installed to physically measure annual
streambank erosion rates prior to restoration. A biological assessment of the site will be
conducted to provide baseline data needed to evaluate habitat improvements following
restoration.
Task 4: Evaluate Existing Reference Reach Data: This task is an essential element for
designing a restored channel that will remain in a stable form. Existing data from streams that
are identified as being stable in the same or similar physiographic region will be reviewed and,
if additional data is needed, then more reference reach data will be collected. Reference reach
data will be used to help 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. Bankfull flow and other information for the selected site can
be determined from regional relationships between bankfull discharge or channel geometry
verses watershed area for the local physiographic region. The existing regional curves will be
reviewed and if necessary, updated.
Task 5: Reach Restoration Plan Development: A successful restoration not only requires
the implementation of a sound design, but it also needs to consider local issues and objectives
that can jeopardize the long-term success of the restoration. A reach restoration plan (RRP) for
the site selected will be developed. The RRP will include a) the natural channel restoration
design and construction drawings; b) a conservation easement status report; c) a discussion of
landowner objectives and local issues impacting reach instability; d) an implementation
schedule; and e) a summary of expected sediment reduction, water quality improvements, and
habitat improvements. These components are discussed as follows:
a) To develop the restoration design, a complete survey of the selected site's geomorphic
features will be conducted including bankfull channel, flood prone area, water
surface/bankfull slope, channel geometry, and sediment size distribution. Using this
data, along with reference reach and regional curves' data (Task 3 & 4), a stable reach
will be designed. Construction drawings will be developed from the design and an
implementation schedule will be determined based upon site conditions and the
availability of trained stream restoration construction experts. Securing construction
materials and equipment will be initiated for the implementation phase II. A
revegetation plan for the site will be developed in which the site will be planted with
17

Page 10 of 31 .
trees and other vegetation that will enhance wildlife & aquatic habitat and contribute to
the long term stability of the reach.
b) A conservation easement status report will be included in the RRP and will be based
upon the WFWR conservation easement program established in Project FY 07-400.
WCRC staff will meet with the landowners to initiate discussions regarding potential
easements. WCRC staff also will be available to assist with the development of the
easement boundaries and conditions if requested by the landowners.
c) WCRC staff will meet with the landowners to determine their objectives for restoration
and local issues that may impact the restoration.
Task 6: Conduct Outreach: Public awareness activities including two field days, one fact
sheet, and one poster presentation. Following the implementation of the channel restoration
activities, the site will be used as a tool for transferring the technology to other watersheds
with similar problems in the area. The West Fork Watershed Alliance will assist with the public
awareness activities.
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 in which the project
is/was active. The Annual Report will contain a summary of the BMP implementation
documentation utilizing a form provided (electronically) by ANRC. This requirement will
be in addition to a narrative summary of the project activities that occurred in the
previous Federal Fiscal year (October 1— September 30).
3. Attendance at annual project review meetings is required. The project manager is
responsible for presenting an overview of the project, status, activities to date and any
data collected. A copy of the presentation and/or documentation of project activities
will be provided to ANRC at the meetings.
4. A Final Report will be submitted to ANRC at the completion or the end date for the
project. A Final Report Guidance will be provided by ANRC. The guidance will be in
outline form. The Final Report should be a narrative description and should 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. Due
to the potential size and content (photographs, tables, charts, graphs, etc.) of the Final
Report, the report may be submitted on CD. A minimum of two copies of the report are
required.

Coordination, Roles and Responsibilities:
The Watershed Conservation Resource Center will be responsible for coordinating all activities
associated with the project. The WCRC will insure that project milestones will be met according
to the workplan schedule. WCRC staff Sandi Formica and Matt Van Eps will be co -principle
investigators. Sandi Formica will be project manager and Matt Van Eps will be project
engineer. Part-time staff and/or possible full-time employee will assist in the collection of field
data, data analyses, and site preparation. The WCRC is responsible for project oversight, data
collection, design, site preparation, public outreach, and all reporting.
Two divisions within the City of Fayetteville (City) will be participating in this project, the
Engineering Division and the Aviation & Economic Development (Aviation) Division. Both
Divisions will provide input on the final restoration design and construction oversight. As part
of their phosphorus reduction plan, the City will be providing matching funds to support the
project. The City Engineer, Chris Brown, and the City Storm Water Engineer, Sarah Wrede, will
assist with the project tasks and will help to coordinate the Engineering Division's related
activities. The Airport Financial Coordinator, James Nicholson, will assist with project tasks and
help to coordinate the Aviation Division's related activities. The Aviation Division will also
provide in -kind match by providing assistance during the implementation of the restoration.

The Aquatic Habitat Improvement Program of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission was
created in September 2001 when the Commission made a major commitment to improving the
aquatic habitat in the state, primarily in the state's trout waters and their watersheds. The
program has four major goals: 1) Improving fish habitat; 2) Reducing erosion (improving water
quality); 3) Stabilizing stream banks, and 4) Improving economic benefits. Program personnel
include program coordinator, Tim Burnley, and part time truck driver, Tony Crouch. The
program is in the Coldwater Section of the Fisheries Division and is supervised by Assistant
Chief, Melissa Jones. The contact for this project will be Tim Burnley. The aquatic Habitat
Improvement Program will help with the construction phase of the project and specifically for
Phase I, they will help with site preparation. As partners, the AG&FC will provide the project
use of a trackhoe that was previously purchased through a 319(h) project. This contribution
will not count as match but will be critical in implementing the restoration design.
The West Fork Watershed Alliance is a local watershed group for the West Fork White River and
will provide assistance on public outreach and restoration. WFEPA will help to host public
awareness activities.
The USGS will provide assistance in sampling bedload and suspended sediment loads to assist
in developing the restoration design.
Public Participation
Several outreach activities will be coordinated with local groups or organization to host a field
days and a poster presentation on the project.
Measures of Success and Performance
Success of this project will be documented by evaluating the RRP to show the proposed
reduction of streambank erosion and channel enlargement. A reduction of 80% in sediment
produced by streambank erosion should be supported in the RRP will be considered success.
Reference to Project in the NPS Management Program
The proposed project would help to meet key elements that the state non -point source
program must address. Specific elements that are addressed include: Element #3 (Strong
working partnerships with appropriate state, Tribal, regional, and local entities, private sector
groups, citizens groups, and Federal agencies.) and Element #4 (The state program (a) abates
water quality impairments from existing sources and (b) prevents significant threats to water
quality from present and future activities.)
