WCRC has received a $329,016 grant from the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission (ANRC) and $45,000 in matching funds or in -kind efforts from several other sources for this project. BACKGROUND The White River is on the ADEQ Arkansas impaired streams list for excess total suspended solids, much of which comes from sediment from stream bank erosion. The erosion also places significant amounts of phosphorus to the White River and Beaver Lake. By restoring this section of the river bank, studies indicate that the phosphorus loading would be reduced by 1,600 pounds per year which equates to 121 days of average discharge from the Noland WWTF in current conditions. DISCUSSION This task order, executed under the City's Memorandum of Understanding with the WCRC (ordinance 5341), will be used for the restoration of stream banks along the White River (shown in the attached aerial photo) in order to reduce annual phosphorus and sediment loads entering the river. It also includes monitoring of several specific banks in the area to evaluate longer term impacts of such restoration. The Environmental Protection Agency is increasingly focused on non -point source pollution entering the watersheds in Northwest Arkansas. This project is another quality example of the City's ongoing commitment to watershed protection, and will count as matching funds to the Beaver Water District Nutrient Reduction Agreement. The work to be executed using these City funds, the grant, and the matching funds, is similar to the very successful stream restoration project at completed two years ago 3/4 mile downstream from this site. The work can be entirely completed on land owned by the City of Fayetteville as part of the Noland WWTF. All City funds will be expended on work on City property. The grant requires a $195,705 City match, which staff proposes to be paid for using Water/Sewer funds in a project set aside for water quality improvements. This grant includes cost shares from several organizations, shown below: Source Total ANRC Grant $ 329,016 City of Fayetteville $ 195,705 Beaver Water District $ 20,000 ADEQ $ 10,000 Beaver Watershed Alliance $ 10,000 WCRC Software Match $ 7,500 Volunteer Planting Da $ 5,000 Total Project $ 577,221 BUDGETIMPACT $195,705 is available in project 13018, Wastewater Treatment/Water Quality Improvements.

Project 13-### White River Bank Restoration and Monitoring Project FY 2013, CWA Section 319(h) Background The White River, located in Northwest Arkansas, drains into Beaver Lake, which is the primary drinking water source for over 350,000 people in Northwest Arkansas (Figure 1). The White River is located in the Beaver Reservoir Hydrologic Unit Area (HUA) — 11010001 and is part of Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality's (ADEQ) planning Segment 4K — Upper White River and Kings River. As described by Regulation Number 2, the White River is designated for propagation of fish and wildlife; primary and secondary contact recreation; and domestic, agricultural and industrial water supplies. Sections of the White River are on the State's 303 (d) list of impaired streams (ADEQ, 2008). The White River is a "priority watershed" and is located in a "nutrient surplus area" as described in the Arkansas 2011-2016 NPS Pollution Management Plan. _ Mw,rf _ The White River begins in NW Arkansas and 0 winds through SW Missouri, and then back to Arkansas where it eventually converges with DOOM the Mississippi River. A dam in the upper section of the White River in Northwest Arkansas was initiated in 1959 and completed !LoJ t in 1966, creating Beaver Lake, which serves "'"'R'"' as the public water supply to the fastest ..; r growing region of the state. Water quality of Beaver Lake directly impacts treatment costs ink �•}• �%; and future plant upgrade requirements. LY•Msars►7 There are many potential water quality concerns affecting Beaver Lake including a A, elevated bacteria counts, high concentrations a� r of phosphorus and sediment, and elevated Figure.) The White River begins in Madison County turbidity levels (Beaver Water District, 2008). and flows north into Beaver Lake Streambank erosion is the major contributor of sediment in the West Fork White River, a tributary to the White River/Beaver Lake. Restoration of streambanks in the West Fork White River has proven to reduce both sediment and nutrient loadings to the river, thus reducing loads generated in the Beaver Lake Watershed (Formica and Van Eps, 2010). Beaver Lake watershed has an area of approximately 1,190 square miles and is located within two ecoregions, the Boston Mountains and Ozark Highlands. The land uses in the watershed are 71% forest, 22% agriculture, 3% urban and 4% water. The mean annual precipitation in the basin is approximately 46 in/yr (Beaver Water District, 2008). General Project Description The Watershed Conservation Resource Center (WCRC) in partnership with the City of Fayetteville propose to implement a project to reduce riverbank erosion along 1,250 linear feet of riverbanks along the White River using an approach that relies heavily on natural channel Project Title: White River Bank Restoration and Monitoring Project 11/8/2012 Version #: 1 Page 4 of 25 . design principles and the use of materials and techniques that will improve aquatic habitat. Restoration of eroding riverbanks will include restoring approximately 750 feet of bank using toe -wood stabilization techniques. The bank restoration and enhancement 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) Reduce sediment and phosphorus loadings by restoring and/or enhancing 1,250 feet riverbank on the White River 2) Develop a site specific, riverbank restoration plan which addresses stream instability; landowner and local objectives; maximizes sediment & phosphorus reduction; maximizes habitat restoration. 3) Restore riparian and protect existing riparian along with enhancement of terrestrial habitat and increase aquatic habitat in the stream watershed 4) Evaluate the effectiveness of riverbank restoration as a means to not only reduce sediment and nutrient loads but to improve aquatic habitat and fish communities 5) Increase awareness and promote the use of natural channel design among landowners and the public A restoration plan will be developed that stabilizes 1250 feet of eroding bank using natural channel design techniques, which will include rebuilding land mass along 750 feet of the eroding bank using toe wood and developing an inter -berm and bankfull benches. If necessary, structures such as stacked rock vanes may be incorporated into the design to divert flow away from the eroding area. The utilization of both the toe wood and structures will enhance the aquatic habitat at the site. The riparian area will be re -vegetated to enhance wildlife habitat and provide additional erosion control. The channel cross section in the area of the bank restoration will be adjusted though excavation to create sufficient area to transport bankfull discharge through the restoration area. Suitable channel dimensions will be determined based upon reference reach conditions for a river located in the same physiographic region. Reference reach data will be collected to provide basic information needed for the site design. Construction level design plans will be developed and a construction bid package will be prepared for soliciting bids from qualified contractors. In' addition to the myriad of environmental benefits, the restoration plan will help to protect vital city infrastructure located at the Noland waste water treatment plant by preventing encroachment of the river resulting from lateral bank erosion (Figure 2). The City of Fayetteville is the owner of all of the potential restoration sites considered for restoration as part of this project. Final site selection will be based on suitability and feasibility of restoration of the Figure 2 Eroding river bank near Noland Waste Water Treatment Plant 4 Project Title: White River Bank Restoration and Monitoring Project 11/8/2012 Version #: 1 Page 5 of 25 . selected riverbank and availability of sufficient funding to implement the design according to proposed specifications. In coordination with the bank restoration efforts, several sites will be evaluated and monitored in order to qualify and quantify benefits to water quality, habitat, and the community of fish. Two sites having similar bank instability conditions will be monitored before and after restoration to document improvements associated with the restoration efforts. Two additional sites that will serve as reference conditions will also be monitored to assist in the evaluation of the improvements associated with the project. Monitoring at each of the sites will be conducted before and after implementation of the bank restoration activities. Parameters to be evaluated include the bank erosion potential, river bank profiles, river bank habitat, and electro-sampling along the monitored river banks. The fish community will be sampled during critical flow periods during late summer. Success of the constructed restoration will be evaluated based on sediment and nutrient reduction and long-term stability of the restored site. The restoration will be designed and constructed to function through a wide variety of stream discharges. However no natural channel design restoration can be guaranteed to withstand flood events that are catastrophic or unforeseen changes in the watershed upstream or downstream of the restored site. Also, maintenance following flood events may be required to ensure functionality of the restoration into the future. The general project site is located near the City of Fayetteville Noland Waste Water Treatment Plant just east of Fayetteville (see Figure 2). Preliminary estimates of contaminant loadings resulting from erosion of the riverbank with the greatest apparent instability for an average flow year are 1,600 tons of sediment and 1,600 Ibs of phosphorus are generated from this site annually. The proposed project will help to meet key elements of the Upper White River Watershed Management Strategy. 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 site condition prior to and following the implementation of restoration activities. This project will be considered successful if an 80% reduction in sediment loads resulting from riverbank erosion are estimated. 5 Project Title: White River Bank Restoration and Monitoring Project 11/8/2012 Version #: 1 Page 6 of 25 .

Schedule This project will be initiated September 1, 2013 and will conclude December 30, 2016. A general project schedule with milestones follows: October, 2013 — March 2014.• QAPP developed & approved March 2014 — July 2014. Collect field data and evaluate bank erosion potential August 2014 — September 2014 Conduct pre -restoration fish sampling effort October 2014 — May 2015.• Bank Restoration plan developed June 2015 — September 2015.• Implement restoration plan October 2015 — February 2015.• Collect post -construction survey data August 2016 — Collect fish samples after one year following implementation October 2016 — Resurvey site and evaluate effectiveness December 2016 — Complete final report Specific project tasks and description are as follows: Task 1: Financial Audit: A financial review of all financial records 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. Data collection consists of geomorphic data associated with the river area to be restored, reference reach conditions, and gage stations. Riverbank erosion data and samples of riverbank materials will be collected to document sediment and phosphorus loading reductions. Task 3: Pre and Post Implementation Monitoring: In order to document the success of the bank restoration efforts in reducing non -point source pollution, the condition of eroding river bank in the proposed restoration area, in addition to control and reference sites 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 the riverbank in the restoration area. Using the BEHI values and NBSS observed, the amount of sediment generated by erosion of the riverbank will be estimated. Detailed cross sections will be surveyed using a total station to detect lateral erosion of the riverbanks over a one-year period. The lateral erosion rates measured during the observation period will allow determination of the volume of sediment eroded from the riverbanks. Samples of the riverbank material will be collected and analyzed for fine particle fractions and nutrient concentrations. Results of the riverbank material sampling effort will assist in determining the amount of sediment and nutrient load reductions that will achieved through Restoration of the eroding riverbank ultimately selected for treatment. Immediately following implementation, monitoring activities that are needed to document the pollutant load reduction improvements associated with the implementation of the bank restoration plan will be initiated. Post -implementation erosion monitoring, consisting of detailed cross-section surveys, will be conducted at the restoration site. Cross-section measurements will also be collected at the control and reference sites to document the erosion at these sites. Results from the monitoring will be compared to erosion rates prior to restoration to determine sediment and nutrient load reductions for the selected site. An evaluation of biological and habitat improvements associated with implementation of riverbank Restoration efforts will be conducted. This effort will include collection of fish Project Title: White River Bank Restoration and Monitoring Project 11/8/2012 Version #: 1 Page 8 of 25 . samples and associated habitat index information from the restoration site, control site, and two reference sites prior to implementation of the restoration plan. The samples will be collected during the critical flow period that occurs in late summer. One year following implementation, samples from all four sites will be collected. The results of the data will be analyzed and then compared to the pre -restoration condition to identify improvements. Task 4: Develop and Implement Streambank Restoration Design: A restoration design for the site will be developed and implemented that will stabilize the selected eroding riverbank and greatly reduce the amount of erosion occurring at the site. A reference pool located on the White River upstream of Beaver Lake will be identified and surveyed. This data will be used to assist in the development of the restoration design. Bankfull discharge and other information for the selected site will be determined from regional relationships between bankfull discharge or channel geometry verses watershed area for the local physiographic region. A complete survey of the site's geomorphic features will be conducted including bankfull channel area, flood prone area, water surface/bankfull slope, channel geometry, and sediment size distribution. Using this data, along with reference reach and regional curve data, a bank restoration plan will be developed. Construction drawings will be generated for the design and an implementation schedule will be determined based upon site conditions and other constraints. Permits from the US Army Corps of Engineers, ADEQ, and Washington County will be obtained. Bid specifications will be developed and requests for qualified bids will be solicited. Task 5: Implement Restoration Design: The restoration design will be implemented by the selected contractor with direct oversight from the WCRC staff. Materials and equipment for the implementation phase will be procured. WCRC will coordinate with ADEQ inspectors. The site will be re -vegetated using in-house and volunteer labor. After implementation, the site will be inspected following flood events and prescriptions for maintenance will be made, if needed. Task 6: Conduct Outreach: Public awareness activities including two site tours, one fact sheet, and a volunteer planting day will be conducted to promote awareness of the project. Following the implementation of the riverbank Restoration activities, the site will be used as a tool for transferring the technology and concepts of river Restoration to a wide audience in order to encourage the use of sustainable technologies when addressing riverbank erosion on large rivers. The outreach component will serve to demonstrate the effectiveness of using natural design concepts when addressing bank instability on large rivers. 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.

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 employees 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. The City of Fayetteville will be providing cash and in -kind matching contributions to the project. The City's funding is currently projected. City Council approval is required to guarantee this funding. If the grant is selected, then the City staff will present the project to the City Council for funding consideration. Matching funds will be utilized throughout the project. In -kind contributions will consist of materials, equipment, and labor for portions of the preparation, construction, and re -vegetation activities. Additionally, the City of Fayetteville will be providing staff time to assist with project planning, coordination, carrying out site tours, assisting with volunteer days, and other project management functions. The City of Fayetteville's contractor for operating the Noland Waste Water Treatment Plant is CH2M Hill and will providing some of the in -kind services described above. Beaver Water District (BWD) was created under Arkansas Act 114 of 1957 for the purpose of providing inexpensive domestic water for the cities of Rogers, Bentonville, Springdale and Fayetteville, Arkansas. The water treatment industry utilizes a multiple barrier approach for public health protection. The first step in the multiple barrier approach is to protect the source of raw water for the drinking water utility. This source water protection program assures that the water entering the utility's water treatment facilities is suitable for use as a drinking water source. Other barriers incorporated in the approach include disinfection, treatment, distribution system monitoring and maintenance, and public education. Sedimentation and its associated contaminants are the primary cause of impairment in the Upper White River watershed and of degraded water quality in Beaver Reservoir. The White River Restoration Project will contribute to BWD's source water protection program by reducing significant sources of sediment from the watershed. BWD will contribute to the project by: • Conducting public awareness activities, including water quality education and outreach events for both WFWR and Beaver Lake, media coverage, preparation of fact sheets and other materials, and in -person presentations that are related to streambank erosion, 15 Project Title: White River Bank Restoration and Monitoring Project 11/8/2012 Version #: 1 Page 16 of 25 . streambank stabilization and restoration, Beaver Lake water quality, Non Point Source (NPS) pollution — causes and solutions; • Participating in project management and technical committees associated with the White River Restoration Project, water quality, NPS pollution, and best management practices; and • Providing engineering review of project elements Program personnel include Manager of Environmental Quality, Bob Morgan, PE; Staff Attorney, Colene Gaston, JD; Environmental Technician, Brad Hufhines; Environmental Technician, Ray Avery, EIT; Manager of Media Relations, Amy Wilson; and an Engineering Intern. Beaver Water District and Staff activities may include: • Watershed based citizen science and education events that provide public education activities that include information of streambank erosion, NPS pollution, best management practices, and water quality. • Cooperative agreement with the City of Fayetteville to reduce NPS nutrients within Beaver Lake Watershed that includes two stream restoration projects. • Training for volunteer scientists and environmental educators that include White River watershed. • Presentations to interested groups regarding protection of Beaver Lake that includes streambank erosion, NPS pollution, and stream restoration. • Participate in technical advisory committee and board of Directors of Beaver Lake Water Alliance. • Provide technical support to the WCRC in data collection and implementation of the White River Restoration Project The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality will be providing in -kind match to the project by conducting fish sampling activities. ADEQ will provide equipment, labor, and data analysis that will help the project achieve stated outputs. The Beaver Watershed Alliance will provide volunteer assistance primarily associated with harvesting native plants that will be utilized as part of the river bank restoration project. They may also assist in the implementation of certain phases of the project. Public Participation Public participation will be encouraged through outreach activities that will provide education opportunities related to restoration of large rivers. Measures of Success and Performance Success of this project will be established through the documentation of sediment loading and erosion rates. If sediment loads reductions are determined to be greater than 80%, the project will be considered a 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, W Project Title: White River Bank Restoration and Monitoring Project 11/8/2012 Version #: 1 Page 17 of 25 . 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.)
