You may type or cut/paste as much text as you like. The box will expand. Narrative fields used to provide the anticipated benefits and goals of the project and the project description. GOALS: 1) Reduce nonpoint source pollution from bank related sources of sediment and nutrients to Haskill Creek and its downstream water bodies through passive techniques, 2) reduce downstream flooding, erosion and sedimentation by reestablishing floodplain connectivity and function, 3) improve riparian habitat and function by increasing cover of native riparian vegetation within the immediate floodplain corridor, 4) moderate water temperature and improve aquatic habitat over time by increasing shade and cover to the stream channel. These actions will also help reduce impacts to a 303(d) listed water body (Whitefish River) and help meet TMDL targets for Flathead Lake. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will implement a design completed for 1,222' of streambank on the Reimer Reach of Haskill Creek by lowering the high banks to floodplain elevation, installing woody debris jams to provide bank stability and reduce bank and terrace erosion, and implementing a rigorous floodplain revegetation plan to create a riparian buffer for agricultural land. This addresses 5 of 14 priority sites identified in the 2003 watershed assessment. Construction involves a local business (through landowner), local civic groups (Haskill Basin Watershed Council) and agencies (MT Watercourse, FCD, DNRC, others). The project will also provide applied science opportunities and career development for Whitefish High School. As-built and post-runoff monitoring will allow a load reduction estimate to document project effectiveness. These data, combined with similar data collected upstream, can be compared to data from the original watershed characterization to document water quality trends in the watershed. 3 OF 3

4 Haskill Creek Reimer Reach Section II Background Information A. Introduction Flathead Conservation District (FCD) helped to form the Haskill Basin Watershed Council (HBWC) in The first task completed by the group in 2003 was a detailed watershed assessment which identified suspected impairments and pollutant sources. It included a conceptual water quality restoration plan which identified 14 priority sites. HBWC has been working from headwaters to mouth to address these sites. Through work with Winter Sports, Inc., the headwaters erosion problems have been addressed. The perched culvert at Haskill Basin Rd. is scheduled to be replaced with a bridge by the County (bridge design complete). Restoration work at Voermans reach was completed in The last of the sites identified as priorities that have landowner cooperation (5 sites) lie on Reimer property. Completion of this project would significantly contribute to accomplishing the non-point source pollution (NPS) reduction goals of the assessment. Flathead Conservation District, on behalf of the Haskill Basin Watershed Council (HBWC), is seeking funding to reduce NPS on a 1,222 reach on Reimer property on Haskill Creek (see Attachment V-C and V-E for maps and photos). Channel relocation, straightening, and vegetation removal modifications during agricultural practices have led to severe downcutting and erosion, removing the stream from its floodplain. Problem areas are characterized by high eroding streambanks and minimal or shallow-rooted grasses as riparian vegetation. Techniques proposed for the project involve lowering the high banks to floodplain elevation, installing woody debris jams to provide bank stability and reduce bank and terrace erosion, and implementing a rigorous floodplain revegetation plan (see Section IV Scope of Work and Attachment V-F Data). This riparian vegetation will help establish an agricultural buffer for hayland. The project will also provide applied science opportunities for Whitefish High School. As-built and post-runoff monitoring will allow a load reduction estimate to document project effectiveness. These data, combined with similar data collected at Voermans, can be compared to data from the original watershed characterization to document water quality trends in the watershed. FCD has not received a 319 grant since 2008, and not a restoration grant since B. Statement of Need and Intent Primary needs are 1) the reduction of NPS (siltation and sedimentation, and associated nutrients) at priority sites contributing to degradation on Haskill Creek, 2) reestablishment of floodplain connectivity and function to control on-site and downstream erosion, and establish healthy riparian vegetation. This will result in reduced sedimentation and its associated nutrients, and eventually lowered water temperature in Haskill Creek. Haskill Creek is the major tributary of the Whitefish River, which is on the 303(d) list as impaired for nitrogen and temperature. The Whitefish River is a major tributary of the Flathead River. TMDL data were collected on Haskill Creek in 2007 and are now being used in the TMDL model under development for the Flathead basin, which is on hold until the nutrient parameters are defined by EPA. The approved TMDL for Flathead Lake calls for a 25% reduction in nutrients and considers siltation and suspended solids concomitantly. This project supports DEQ s NPS Management Plan (Goals 1, 2, 4 & 6) by reducing NPS, creating healthy riparian areas, educating the general public about water quality issues and promoting sustainable agriculture while maintaining ecological health. It reduces impacts to streams on the 303(d) list, makes an incremental contribution to the Flathead Lake TMDL target 1

5 Haskill Creek Reimer Reach load reductions and implements the second phase of restoration planned in a previous 319 grant on Haskill Creek (#203069). The similar approach proposed to the successful project at Voermans leads us to expect similar results. Voermans project documented at least an 86% reduction in sedimentation. It is the intent of the HBWC to stay active and involved in all its projects, including after completion. HBWC is committed to long-term project management and will work to assure success. FCD is committed to continued collaboration with HBWC and will work to meet management requirements for long-term project monitoring. FCD has a proven ability to successfully manage large grants with many participants (see Attachment V-G. Previous Performance). C. Collaborative Effort FCD has been advisor to HBWC since its inception in The mission of the HBWC is to maintain and enhance the physical, biological and chemical integrity of Haskill Creek by a voluntary and cooperative effort. MT Fish, Wildlife and Parks (FWP) funded successful restoration upstream at Voerman s and purchased tools for Whitefish High School s FREEFLOW students (Flathead River Educational Effort for Learning in Our Watershed) to use on restoration efforts. FREEFLOW has been monitoring on the creek since The students were involved with revegetation at Voermans and have completed field studies of the proposed site. MT Watercourse funded field studies and purchased more equipment and plants for FREEFLOW s revegetation efforts on a downstream reach at Reimers in These tools will also be used for the revegetation work at the project site, which the FREEFLOW students will be doing. A DNRC HB 223 grant with in-kind from River Design Group funded the engineering design for this project, the draft QAPP/SAP and the necessary permit applications. The project would be managed by FCD for the HBWC. A local business, The Center for Native Plants, has provided plants and plant protection materials at a discount rate. Another local business, Midway Rental, will provide the equipment and labor for the floodplain construction. It is owned by Kent and Kurt Reimer. Broad support for the project is shown by letters of recommendation from the Reimers, HBWC, Whitefish High School, MT Watercourse, DNRC, Center for Native Plants, Midway Rental, and others (see Section V-D Letters of Support.) D. Project Planning and Management FCD has abundant experience successfully managing grants (see Attachment V-G Previous Performance). The most recent successful grant management by FCD was a 2008 Education & Outreach 319 grant for the Riparian Buffer Education Campaign. It involved partners from 6 counties, 4 funding sources and coordination with the Governor s Riparian Task Force. The project included 6 MOU s and 3 subcontracts with a total budget of $175,000, not including match. The project is near completion, is on budget and all reports, deadlines and chains of command were followed successfully. FCD has received favorable bi-annual independent audits of all its financial transactions, including grant work. Our staff certification includes: Certified Procurement Professional (CPP) Ginger Kauffman, Patti Mason; Certified Contracts Specialist (CCS) Ginger Kauffman, Certified Contracts Officer (CCO) Patti Mason. Section III Project Components A. Watershed Activity Component In 2003 the Haskill Creek Pollutant Source Assessment and Water Quality Restoration Plan was completed which contained a list of pollution sources and a list of priority sites for restoration. In 2

6 Haskill Creek Reimer Reach 2007 HBWC completed the Watershed Characterization Final for Haskill Creek TMDL Planning Area and Final Target Parameter Summary, Analysis & Recommendations. HBWC continued to systematically work towards addressing all the sites identified in the 2003 document. The 2003 DEQ # Grant called for completion of 2 demonstration projects. The first, on Voermans, was completed in The Reimer site would be the second project. The Reimer reach is characterized by the presence of high eroding streambanks and minimal or shallow-rooted grasses as riparian vegetation. Existing vegetation provides little shade to moderate summer water temperatures or cover to enhance aquatic habitat. The engineered plan calls for sloping back the incised banks and reestablishing riparian vegetation with containerized plants and willows. Midway Rental will provide a significant match with their labor, equipment and materials for the project. FREEFLOW students will provide the revegetation labor and equipment. FCD will provide project management through a subcontractor for construction management. Preliminary design work is complete, as is the draft QAPP/SAP and the necessary permit applications (310, 318, 404). This project is expected to obtain similar results to the Voermans project, which reduced sedimentation to Haskill Creek by at least 86% along the 1,100 restored reach, and established riparian vegetation to provide shade and both aquatic and riparian habitat. Haskill Creek is the major tributary of the Whitefish River, a 303(d) listed stream with impairments for temperature and nutrients. Various stages of project development have brought together civic groups (city council and staff, water & sewer board, HBWC), Whitefish High School, local businesses (Midway Rental, Center for Native Plants, River Design Group), agencies (DEQ, DNRC, FWP, FCD) and MT Watercourse. HBWC has developed a good working relation with the City of Whitefish, and is working towards policy changes for the city that will benefit water quality in all of Haskill basin and beyond. Through the 10 year efforts of the group, a strong and broad coalition of support has been created. Our request is for $39,217 in funding for implementation of a completed design and associated monitoring for effectiveness (see Attachment V-B Budget). More than $37,000 has been committed to this project by other entities, making it a good value. B. E & O Component HBWC will work with Whitefish High School (WHS) students through the FREEFLOW group. FREEFLOW students have evaluated the stability of the Reimer reach; conducted an assessment of what physical work should be done, evaluated the native species best suited to the sites and have already followed up with planting native plants that fit the substrate, elevation, slope and habitat type for Voermans and a lower reach of Reimers. Site visits were funded in part by MT Watercourse. The rest of this cost is covered by the High School, as FREEFLOW is a fully recognized club activity. For this project, FREEFLOW will use the equipment already purchased to implement the revegetation design prepared by River Design Group. The design will include planting over gal plants and harvesting and placing over 6000 willows. Many of these efforts are covered in the local newspaper. The activities will give the students field experience of applied science, and provide career training in environmental stewardship. HBWC conducts monthly meetings open to the public which are advertized in the media and on the FCD website ( 3

7 Haskill Creek Reimer Reach C. Operation and Maintenance Component FCD will enter into an agreement with the landowners prior to implementation to ensure the project is maintained. An annual inspection will be conducted for the first 3 years following completion and another inspection at 5 years to ensure that revegetation is occurring successfully, weeds are controlled and that the floodplains are functioning as designed. FCD will reserve the right to inspect the project for 10 years. That right transfers to DEQ and EPA. If there is need for repair or maintenance, FCD will work with the landowner to accomplish the necessary work in a timely fashion, including increased monitoring. D. Monitoring Component Construction is expected to reduce nonpoint source pollution due to sedimentation along the 1,222 reach of eroding banks, restore floodplain connectivity, reduce flood damage downstream and eventually result in lower water temperatures as newly established riparian vegetation matures. Work already completed includes documentation of existing conditions using a total station/gps survey on the reach and additional stable reaches, discharge measurements, channel substrate definitions (pebble counts), photo points and longitudinal profiles. This will be submitted to DEQ by FCD. As-built and post-runoff monitoring reports will be prepared by the subcontractor and submitted by FCD to DEQ with similar information, with a BEHI (Bank Erosion Hazard Index) analysis of sediment reduction. A signed landowner agreement will be submitted which will allow FCD, HBWC and DEQ/EPA periodic access to ensure project success through the life of the project, including access during high water events. A QAPP/SAP consistent with the State s Plan has been prepared and will be submitted to DEQ for approval. All results will be conveyed to DEQ using DEQ s current database for storing monitoring data. E. Reporting requirements Preliminary design and existing conditions report will be submitted to DEQ, as will the draft QAPP/SAP. Quarterly and annual narrative status reports will be submitted, as well as brief status statements with all invoices. As-built and post-runoff monitoring reports will be submitted upon completion, and a final project report will be submitted after that. All reports will be submitted in hard copy and electronic formats. Section IV Scope of Work Goal 1: Reduce NPS from bank erosion. Objective 1: Reduce sedimentation/nutrients and thermal pollution and reestablish functioning riparian floodplain surfaces along 1,222 of Haskill Creek. TASK 1: Preconstruction activities DESCRIPTION: Project design, existing conditions survey, permit applications and draft QAPP/SAP have already been completed through a combination of DNRC funding and match from River Design Group for 5 sites on the Reimer reach of Haskill Creek, located in section 4, T30N, R21W. High eroding banks and minimal riparian vegetation will be replaced by creating a functioning floodplain bench. The bench will be vegetated with containerized plants and 4
