Trail only 18 inches higher than flow of Town Branch of the West Fork of the White River under S. School Avenue. Whose idea was this? Rain had slacked off but more could come. Video at 8:23 a.m. Tuesday, September 2, 2014. Ever drive South College when was was flowing over the bridge and bridge was temporarily closed? Now there is less room for water under the bridge.<br /><a href="http://youtu.be/I-8w_HpVdKU?list=UUwcZunxqSV3zcgvRJqBn-Qw" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://youtu.be/I-8w_HpVdKU?list=UUwcZunxqSV3zcgvRJqBn-Qw</a></div>

<b>Subject:</b> Beaver Watershed Alliance West Fork Opportunity Meeting - August 14th, 12-1 pm</div>
</div>

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Dear West Fork Watershed leader,</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Beaver Watershed Alliance would like to invite you to a meeting for Washington County staff, elected officials, city staff, and other leaders in the West Fork Watershed community to show the initial results of our West Fork Opportunity Assessment as well as seek input and feedback for our program. The meeting will take place on Thursday, August 14</span><sup style="line-height: 17px;">th</sup><span style="font-size: 11pt;">, from 12-1 pm at the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce large conference room. The Chamber is located at 123 W. Mountain Street in Fayetteville.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 21px; margin: 0px 0px 1.35em; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The ultimate goal of our program is to improve the water quality of the West Fork of the White River, which flows from Winslow to Fayetteville and empties into Beaver Lake, the drinking water source for over 420,000 people. Since last fall, we have been working on a variety of water quality issues in the West Fork Watershed, connecting with streamside landowners, implementing Best Management Practices, and creating an assessment of water quality improvement opportunities. The initial results of our landowner interaction and community feedback are conveyed in a series of maps, however we realize that there are still existing opportunities for water quality improvement that we have not yet accounted for and we are still seeking input regarding these opportunities. We would appreciate your attendance at this meeting and feedback on our program, since it has implications for our valuable water resource and is integral for a healthy Northwest Arkansas economy and community.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, serif; line-height: 21px;"> An exciting project concerning Beaver Lake and its watershed is occurring in Northwest Arkansas. The popular and award-winning folk duo, Still on the Hill, has written and recorded an entire CD of songs to create awareness of the lake’s history and collective stories.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, serif; line-height: 21px;"> The project is being made possible through a collaborative grant from the Arkansas Arts Council, </span><span style="color: black; line-height: 21px;">an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage, and the National Endowment for the Arts, </span><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, serif; line-height: 21px;">plus four northwest Arkansas groups – the Association for Beaver Lake Environment (A.B.L.E.), Ozarks Water Watch, Beaver Water District, and Beaver Watershed Alliance, with special additional sponsorship through the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #444444; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, serif; line-height: 21px;"> Still on the Hill will perform 10 free concerts during 2014 in watershed communities, and will give away 100 CDs (one per family) at each performance on a first come, first served basis. These concerts, in addition to being entertaining and educational, will instill a sense of ownership for the protection of this valuable resource which supplies drinking water and quality of life for one in seven Arkansans!

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times, serif; line-height: 21px;"> An exciting project concerning Beaver Lake and its watershed is occurring in Northwest Arkansas. The popular and award-winning folk duo, Still on the Hill, has written and recorded an entire CD of songs to create awareness of the lake’s history and collective stories.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: Times, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 24px;"></span></div>

<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
HUNTSVILLE - As the population within the Beaver Lake Watershed continues to grow, residents will need to take increasing measures to mitigate the side effects of paving and construction, experts said Friday.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The importance of controlling storm-water runoff - a term for rainwater that can’t be absorbed into the soil because the land is covered with impermeable surfaces such as asphalt - was emphasized throughout several presentations during the Beaver Lake Watershed Symposium Friday at theCarroll Electric Building in Huntsville.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
More than a dozen experts in hydrology, aquaculture and other biological sciences spoke before a crowd of about 60. While the topics of individual presentations ranged from the development and implementation of the Beaver Lake Watershed protection strategy to methods of stream restoration and water-quality testing, many of the speakers reiterated that one of the best ways to protect the region’s drinking water is to find ways of redirecting storm water into absorbent soils, rather thanlet it flow freely into open surface waters.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Katie Teague, an agent with the Benton County Extension Office, touched on several factors addressing water-quality protection while asking the audience to participate in a trivia game focused on water-pollution issues.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
According to data provided by Teague and others, about 20 percent of rainfall in rural areas remains on the surface of the land as runoff when construction has made at least10 percent of the area impermeable. Teague said that a 1,000-square-foot house will displace 623 gallons of water from 1 inch of rainfall.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“From the homeowner side, it’s just the sheer volume of storm water that’s generated ontheir property, and pollutants that they can introduce that can be carried off their site, into a storm drain, untreated, into the nearest creek or stream,” Teague said. “We encourage ways to break up that path and slow down that water so it cansoak in.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When water is allowed to permeate vegetation and existing soil, a natural filtration process can remove or reduce excess nutrients and other pollutants from the water as it makes its way into aquifers, and eventually into an area’s drinking water.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
John Pennington, executive director of the Beaver Lake Watershed Alliance, has said he hopes the symposium will become an annual event. The alliance, a nonprofit organization founded in 2010, aims to promote awareness of factors that affect the quality of the drinking water in Beaver Lake,which is provided approximately to 420,000 people and sources its water from a watershed covering more than 1,200 square miles.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Brad Hufhines, an environmental technician with the Beaver Water District Treatment Plant, discussed how the use of “rain gardens” can help homes and businesses offset their impermeable footprint by creating areas of vegetation where storm-water runoff will pool and percolate into soil.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“We’re gaining 30 residents every day in Northwest Arkansas, so we’re becoming much more populated, much more built-out,” Hufhines said.“We’re covering up the natural land with impervious surfaces, and that’s causing a lot more water to flow into our streams rapidly. We’re getting more intense flooding and sediment from erosion that’s occurring at an increased level.”</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Hufhines said the gardens, which are constructed in depressions to allow runoff to flow toward them, are effective and low-cost ways of trapping and filtering sediment and pollutants.</div>
<div style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
“I think that’s not the answer for everybody, but it’s one of several best management practices that can be used throughout the watershed.”</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><strong>Huntsville, AR (</strong></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Aug. 31) – Volunteers are needed to participate in War Eagle Creek Cleanup on Saturday October 6, 2012. Hosted by Withrow Springs State Park with the support of Beaver Watershed Alliance, the cleanup is being held in conjunction with the Great Arkansas Cleanup (GAC), the annual fall statewide litter pickup campaign promoted by Keep Arkansas Beautiful (KAB), a state affiliate of Keep America Beautiful Inc. and a division of the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism. The Beaver Watershed Alliance was formed in 2010 to establish programming to maintain high quality drinking water in Beaver Lake and improve water quality on the Beaver Lake Watershed. The Alliance represents a diverse stakeholder group from conservation, education, water utilities, technical and science, business, and local government groups working together for the cause of clean water.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Litter continues to be a problem in our area,” says Park Interpreter Natalie Casey of Withrow Springs State Park, local coordinator of this year’s cleanup. “It is illegal to litter. It can negatively affect our community’s potential to attract business, industry and tourism. It has a devastating effect on our water supply. It ruins the natural beauty of the byways, waterways and forests. We need to clean up litter and keep it off our roadsides and out of our waterways.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="right: auto;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; right: auto;">Beaver Watershed Alliance and Withrow Springs State Park invite you to be a steward of an important part of our Ozarks heritage by participating in the War Eagle Creek Cleanup at Withrow Springs State Park. “War Eagle Creek gives life to our community as a home for wildlife, a place for recreation, a connection to nature, and a source of drinking water from Beaver Lake” reminds Park Interpreter Natalie Casey. “Learn about the importance of this waterway, witness its beauty, and improve the quality of our environment as we spend the afternoon cleaning up War Eagle Creek.” <strong style="right: auto;">Arrive by 1 p.m. to participate in 4.6 mi. cleanup float (water level permitting); arrive between 3-4 pm for shorter section floats and other site assignments.</strong> <strong>Cleanup will take place until approximately 6 p.m., followed by a free cookout, information about stewardship and citizen science programs, and prize giveaways. At dusk, join us for "Bridge to War Eagle," a production of award-winning film makers Larry Foley and Dale Carpenter that documents the natural, historic, and cultural importance of War Eagle Creek. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets.</strong></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Everyone in the area is encouraged to participate in this year’s litter-pickup effort. Civic and service organizations, church and youth groups, school groups and clubs, scouts, individuals, families, neighborhoods, and businesses can put together cleanup teams and pitch in. If your team is able to help with this event, please contact Withrow Springs State Park for special assignments or instructions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">“Litter is everyone’s responsibility,” Casey says. “Although we aren’t all litterers, we do all live in this community together and must work together to keep it clean and green. We do this as a point of community pride, to maintain our outstanding quality of life and to improve our economic health.”</span></div>

<div align="left" class="ecxMsoTitle" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The statewide kickoff date for the 2012 GAC is Sept. 8. Events are being organized across the state during September and October as part of the annual fall litter-pickup campaign. </span><span style="font-family: Times; line-height: normal;">Last year, the GAC included 207 events across the state. More than 10,500 volunteers picked up almost 1 million pounds of litter and cleaned up nearly 800 miles of roadway, more than 200 parks and public areas, and 659 miles of shoreline. The volunteer-driven effort provided the state and participating communities a cost-saving value of more than $850,000.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Great Arkansas Cleanup </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">grew out of an effort that</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> began more than 40 years ago as the Greers Ferry Lake and Little Red River Cleanup. In 1985, U.S. Sen. Dale Bumpers guided legislation requiring an annual pickup event during the weekend after Labor Day on all federal lands. This law, the Carl Garner Federal Lands Cleanup Act, honors the founder of the event. Mr. Garner continues his advocacy for a clean and litter-free environment as a member of the Keep Arkansas Beautiful Foundation board of directors. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The first statewide GAC was organized in 1989.</span></div>

<div align="center" class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">For immediate release – April 24, 2012</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">The
7th annual West Fork Watershed Cleanup will be held from 8 a.m. to 1
p.m. Saturday, May 19, at Riverside Park, located off state Hwy. 170 in
quaint downtown West Fork. Volunteers will check in from 8-9:30 a.m. at
the park, then fan out to stations along the river and clean up targeted
areas. Volunteers are then invited to enjoy a burrito buffet beginning
at 11 a.m. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Volunteers
are needed and may pre-register by calling 479-422-1014 or
479-225-1611. Volunteers also may show up that day and register
on-site. </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">Children
under 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Cleanup participants will be
supplied with trash bags, maps to cleanup locations, gloves, and
reusable water bottles filled with chilled tap water. All volunteers
will be required to sign up and complete liability forms. Sites on the
cleanup list include Riverside Park, Baptist Ford, Dye Creek Road,
Woolsey Bridge, Brentwood Mountain Road, and the Winslow Ballpark. </span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">“</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">The
West Fork of the White River flows into Beaver Lake,” said Nicole
Hardiman, who works for the Northwest Arkansas Land Trust, one of the
event sponsors. “Beaver Lake is our drinking water, so we gather
annually to clean up the West Fork and build awareness about our
precious water resources.”</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Mayor Frances Hime has been volunteering for the cleanup for several years, and she’s proud to be there once again.</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">“When
we clean up the West Fork River and its watershed, we are protecting
our source of safe drinking water and caretaking wildlife habitat,” Hime
said. “We love rallying the troops to help with this task. We want
everyone to come out and enjoy beautiful Riverside Park in West Fork and
help us with the cleanup.”</span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">As in years past, the </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">event
is being coordinated by the West Fork Watershed Alliance. Sponsors and
partners also include Arkansas Stream Team, Arkansas Canoe Club, Arvest
Bank, Beaver Water District, City of West Fork, Keep Arkansas Beautiful,
Pack Rat Outdoor Center, Tyson Foods, University of Arkansas
Cooperative Extension Service, </span><span style="color: black; font-size: 14pt;">Washington County Environmental Affairs, the</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">
