Mitigation bank beaver ( sub program of wff): in 2012 the wcrc established the wfwr mitigation bank. This program was implemented to offset unavoidable impacts to water resources that result from third-party actions related to land development activities in the region. By providing a mitigation bank that seeks to create and protect the highest levels of natural Resource Conservation, the wfwr mitigation bank helps to reduce the impacts of land developments in northwest Arkansas. Revenue generated from the mitigation bank is used to maintain the site, maintain other wcrc Conservation projects in the region, and provide funding for future projects that the wcrc may initiate. The general outcome of this program is to protect the source water of beaver reservoir, the water supply for the region.
The wcrc was awarded a grant from the usda natural resources Conservation service to perform stream restoration construction implementation coordination for projects on the west fork white river. The wcrc will provide 25% cost-share match towards the project via non-federal project partner contributions. Two large-scale river restoration projects which will help to improve water quality, aquatic and terrestrial habitat, and recreational opportunities will be constructed as part of this grant. The first project was implemented in the fall of 2020 through late spring 2021. The second project will be implemented in the fall of 2022.
Nrcs-rcpp: the wcrc received a grant from the usda-natural resources Conservation service to implement stream restoration and other best management practices to reduce sediment inputs and improve water quality within a sub-area of the west fork white river Watershed (wfwr). Through the project, the wcrc with support from other project partners, will work with landowners to implement Conservation practices and restore at least one mile of river corridor on the wfwr. This work helps protect the source water of beaver reservoir. Since initiating the project, two streambank restoration projects have been implemented and preparation for large-scale restoration has bee initiated.
