Woo Wet irie Annual Ecolosical Monitori and A tive ment
Overview & Background
The Woolsey Wet Prairie Sanctuary was established by the City of Fayetteville as
part of wetland compensatory mitigation requirements under Section 404 Permit
1+ZOl issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Little Rock District. The 43.8-
acre mitigation site was constructed to offset the permanent alteration of 1.92 acres of
wetlands from construction of the City's Wastewater Systems Improvement Project
(WS1p). The Section 404 Permit required 73.57 wetland credits to be genetated at
the mitigation site to offset wetland losses from the WSIP. To date, a total of 94.47
mitigation credits have been generated, producing a surplus of 20.90 credits-
On September 30, 2013, after numerous conferrals with ECO, Inc., the City of
Fayettèville received a special one-oÊa-kind approval from the Corps to use the
20-.90 surplus wetland ciedits for city infrastructure projects that require wetland
.orrrp"rrátory mitigation within the Illinois River Watershed. To date, surplus
wetlãnd credits have been used for the City's Van Asche Drive Extension Project and
the Clabber Creek Recreational Trail Project, saving the City thousands of dollars.
Environmental Consulting Operations, Inc. (ECO, Inc.) developed the wetlands and
stormwater permitting Best Management Practices Plans and conducted excellent
construction inspection for the WSIP and was tasked to ensure full compliance with
related regulations and permits. Under their supervision, contractors working for the
city completed over $135 million in work without a single permit violation. ECO,
Inó. also designed the wetlands mitigation site that was required by the Corps of
Engineers, which had a mandated monitoring and reporting period, and maintains the
required wetland credit ledger to track the use of surplus wetland credits by the City
of Fayetteville.
l;nder ECO, Inc.'s adaptive management strategy, the mitigation site has a current
plant species list totalin g 468 species, a ten-fold increase beyond the 47 plant species
ãbserved in2004. This species diversity continues to grow with 18 new species
being added from2014 to 2015. Ten species at the site are tracked by the Arkansas
Natural Heritage Commission as species of state conservation concern. Nonetheless,
persistent invasive species are present at the site, requiring continued monitoring and
adaptive management activities
ECO, Inc.'s May 8, 2014 Agreement For Professional Environmental Consulting
Sewices covered the following work tasks for 2014, and as amended in 2015:
(l) Annual Ecological Restoration of Existing Mitigation Site;
(2) Annual Adaptive Management Strategy for Existing Mitigation Site;
(3) Development of Credit Tracking Ledger for Surplus Wetland Credits;
(4) Provide environmental regulatory and technical information to the City of
Fayetteville and City Contractors.
The details of each of these work tasks are outlined within the propos ed 2016 contract
between the City of Fayetteville and ECO, Inc. in Parts A, B, C, and D of the
proposed contract.
The May 8,2014 Agreement and the 2015 Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement
contained the following provision:
Agreement will automøticølly renew for additionul l-year terms upon mutual
agreement by both CITY ønd ECO. CITY møy consider annuøl ødjustment of
prices ønd fees limited to an annual adjastment of prices and fees for the
remaining terms. Such adjustment must be requested in writing, not less than sixty
(60) days prior to the end of the curuent term. Contrøct renewals øre subject to
budget availøbility.
The price reflected within the proposed2016 Amendment No. 2 to the May 8, 2014
Agreement is slightly less than the 2015 Amendment No. i .
ECO, Inc. possesses the very specialized technical and regulatory skills and site-
specific knowledge to complete these tasks for the purpose of meeting Corps of
Engineers mandated mitigation performance standards and to maintain the existing
surplus wetland credits for use in future city infrastructure improvements that require
compensatory wetland mitigation.

WHEREAS, CITY established Woolsey TVet Prairie Sanctuary as part of wetland compensatory
mitigation requirements under Section 404 Permit 14207 issued by the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Little Rock District (Corps). The 41,65-acre mitigation site was constructed to offset
the permanent alteration of 7.92 acres of wetlands from construction of the CITY's Wastewater
Systems Improvement Project (ViSP). Ecological restoration activities via the use of an
adaptive management strategy have restored the site to its original øll grass wetland prairie
ecosystem that had been degraded for over a cenhrry. Recognizing that the site is a unique
ecological and recreational resourceo and due to Corps regulatory requirements to manage and
maintain the wetland compensatory mitigation in perpetuity, it is the CITY's intent to maintain
and monitor ecological adaptive management activities at Woolsey Wet Prairie to assure that the
site continues to meet ecological performance standards, hereinafter referred to as PROJECT.
V/HEREAS, CITY has requested the scope of ECO's services to include PROJECT ecological
monitoring and adaptive management environmental consulting services due to ECO's previous
site-specific experience with planning, design, construction, management, monitoring, and
regulatory requirements; and

ÐCOWWP20t4-l5scope0420l4.pdf
each of the wetland cells, and the total mitigation site plant species richness is to be
documented and maintained in a historical comprehensive site plant species list.
b) The locations of concentrated stands of non-native plant species are to be recorded on
maps of each of the wetland cells. The locations of rare Arkansas Natural Heritage
Commission tracking plant species are to be recorded on maps of each of the wetland
cells.

implemented at the site and the date of use.
c) The plant species community at the existing mitigation site evolves on a seasonal
basis throughout the growing season and various non-native invasive plant species
may emerge and flourish at various times within the growing season. This may vary
significantly from year to year. Consequently, it is necessary to continue to make
adjustments to the timing and type of vegetation management to be implemented. In
general, the types of vegetation management tools include, but are not restricted to,
hydrology management, mowing, herbicide applications, prescribed burning, and
hand pulling of invasive plant species.

amended upon approval for renewal ofPart C services beyond 2014.
2.4PartD - Development of Credit Tracking Ledger for Surplus Wetland Credits
a) After several years of monitoring at the mitigation site, ECO observed that the site
had achieved a surplus of wetland credits above those required by CITY's Section
404 permit to offset the pennanent alteration of wetlands from construction of
CITY's WSIP.
In May of 2013,ECO started the process of getting CITY's 404 permit compensatory
ECOWWP20t4-l5scope0420l4.Pdf
mitigation requirements modified to reflect the actual V/SIP permanent alterations to
wetlands and reduce the number of wetland credits required for compensatory
mitigation. ECO met with the Corps to discuss CITY's use ofthe swplus credits. On
September 30,2013, CITY received correspondence from the Corps stating that the
20.90 surplus wetland credits could be used to mitigate for wetland impacts generated
by the City of Fayetteville within the lllinois River watershed, HUC I1110103.
In summary, CITY can use the surplus wetland credits for firture CITY infrastructure
improvements that involve permanent alterations to wetlands, but cannot sell the
surplus credits to outside parties.
It is anticipated that the remaining surplus credits will be used for a multitude of
CITY infrastructure projects that will require Corps approval. Consequently, there is
a need for CITY to develop a tracking system to maintain an accounting of the use
and balance of surplus credits. Formal procedures for development of such a credit
accounting system are specified in Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part
332.8, as follows:
Accounting procedures must be developedfor mitigation banlcs, ond have a provision
requiring the spowor to esrablish and maintain ø ledger to accountþr all credit
transactions. Each time an approved credìt transaction occurs, the sponsor must
notîfu the Corps.
The sponsor must compíle an annual ledger report showing the begínning and ending
balance of available credits and permitted impactsþr each resource type, all
additions and subtractions of credits, and any other changes in credit availability.
The ledger report must be submined to the Corps as a part of the administratíve
recordfor the surplus credíts.
b) ECO shall:. Review applicable 33 CFR Part332.8 regulations pertaining to wetland crcdit
accounting procedures,
' Develop a draft ledger to include original surplus credits and credit debits
from Van Asche Improvements,. Prepare write up and confer with City regarding surplus credit accounting and
reporting procedures,. Confer with Corps regarding surplus credit accountíng and reporting
procedures and get concurrence on draft ledger,
' Prepare annual credit balance report for submittal to Corps at end of 2014.
c) Part D applies to May thlough December 2014. ltis unknown at the current time
whether or not Part D services will be necessary for January through December 2015.
This will be a function of whether or not surplus credit transactions occw during
2015. ECO's renewal of a¡nual scope of services will be reviewed by the Cþ
Council, and amended upon approval for renewal of Pa* D services beyond 2014.
