CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO)

FROM: Alan Pugh, Staff Engineer
DATE: June 8, 2015
SUBJECT: Approval of Task Order No. 03 with the Watershed Conservation Resource
Center for the design and construction of a stream restoration project
associated with an unnamed tributary of Cato Springs Branch near the
southern boundary of the new Regional Park and investigation into the
removal of an existing dam on the West Fork of the White River.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of Task Order No. 03 with the Watershed Conservation Resource Center for the
design and construction of a stream restoration project associated with an unnamed tributary of
Cato Springs Branch near the southern boundary of the new Regional Park and investigation
into the removal of an existing dam on the West Fork of the White River.
BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 2014, City Council approved Resolution ordinance number 5645 to waive
competitive bidding and approve a five year memorandum of understanding with the Watershed
Conservation Resource Center to jointly seek funding and use such funding to design and
construct stream restoration and water quality projects.
DISCUSSION:
In keeping with the City of Fayetteville's goal to identify and fund stream restoration and water
quality projects, the proposed project was developed in cooperation with the Watershed
Conservation Research Center, WCRC, to include restoration of an unnamed tributary to Cato
Springs Branch near the southern boundary of the new regional park.
This project will include the restoration of approximately 2000 linear feet of stream to reduce
streambank erosion, prevent land loss, improve aquatic habitat and enhance the aesthetics of
the stream corridor that traverses the southern end of the park. In addition to this project,
WCRC will conduct a feasibility analysis of removing the dilapidated dam located on the West
Fork of the White River at Pump Station Road. This investigation will aid in determining what
improvements such as reduced sediment and nutrient loads, reduced safety hazards, restored
aquatic habitat along with increased recreational opportunities could be achieved through the
removal of the dam.
