RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of a resolution to apply for a grant through the Arkansas Natural Resources Commision, ANRC, in a proposed partnership agreement with the Watershed Conservation Resource Center at a cost to the City of $247,680 over two years. The grant is for design and implementation of a stream bank restoration project for a section of the West Fork of the White River, WFWR, adjacent to the Fayetteville Execute Airport. BACKGROUND This project is recommended by the Nutrient Reduction Plan that the City completed based on the 2006 Agreement between the City and Beaver Water District. It is part of a suite of projects with the purpose of reducing non -point source loading of phosphorus to the Beaver Lake Watershed. The projects were evaluated by a Stakeholder Review Group consisting of representatives from a wide range of groups including the City, Beaver Water District, the University of Arkansas, Washington County, environmental groups, and citizens during the development of the Nutrient Reduction Plan. The Watershed Conservation Resource Center, WCRC, will be the contracting authority. The 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 stream restorations. The WCRC has successfully completed a stream restoration of a section of Niokaska Creek in Gulley Park and a section of the West Fork River near Brentwood. DISCUSSION: This project will restore an unstable section of 2750' of stream to a morphologically stable form utilizing a natural channel design approach. This project will be considered successful if a 75% percent reduction in suspended sediment resulting from stream bank erosion is observed. WCRC will prepare the grant application on the City's behalf. The amount requested from ANRC is $328,320; with the City's matching funds providing $247,680, for a project total of $576,000.

WCRC will design the improvements, secure all permits, right of way and easements, contract with a construction contractor for construction of the stream restoration elements, replant the area, and monitor the success of the project. BUDGET IMPACT Currently, there is $544,961.12 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. This project will be paid for from these funds. Council Agenda Request_Airport Stream Restoration RESOLUTION NO.
