1 Watershed Management: From Concept to Implementation, a Drinking Water Utility Perspective OCLWA 27 th Annual Conference April 4-5, 2018 Randy Easley, Director of Water Quality Randy.easley@carkw.com
2 10 Health Advances That Changed the World Clean Water and Improved Sanitation Put them beside surgical advances and other cutting-edge technologies, and public health measures don't look so sexy. But the fact is that clean water and sanitation have likely saved millions -- perhaps billions -- of lives since they were widely implemented in the 19th and 20th centuries. Clean water and public health measures dramatically reduced the incidence of deadly water-borne diseases such as cholera & typhoid and improved sanitation, drastically lowering the health impacts of parasitic infections and other health conditions related to the environment.
3 Standards and Regulations In the US, public drinking water is governed by the laws and regulations enacted by the state and federal governments. The most notable regulation is the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) of This is the principal federal law that applies to every public water system in the United States. Enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it is intended to ensure safe drinking water for public consumption.
4 SDWA regulates 6 Types of Contaminants 1.Microorganisms 2.Disinfectants 3.Disinfection Byproducts 4.Inorganic Chemicals 5.Organic Chemicals 6.Radionuclides ph

7 Source Water Protection Source Water Protection programs are programs with the specific goal of protecting drinking water supplies. It is more widely recognized that source water protection is a critical first step in the Multiple-barrier Approach to providing safe drinking water advocated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA, 1997; EPA, 1997a).
8 Multi-Barrier Approach to Source Water Protection The Multi-Barrier Approach is: An integrated system of procedures, processes and tools that collectively prevent or reduce the contamination of drinking water from source to tap in order to reduce risks to public health.
9 CAW Reservoirs and Watersheds Winona Built in1936 for drinking water supply; 1,240 acre reservoir; 27,500 acre watershed; 0.60 persons/square mile; 93.6% forested Maumelle Built in 1956 for drinking water supply; 8,900 acre reservoir; 88,000 acre watershed; 14.1 persons/square mile; 81.9% forested

14 How do We Protect our Resource?..
15 Managing the Land & Setting the Standard 1) Land Acquisitions and Conservation 2) Forest Management: Fire, Thinning, Roads 3) Restoration & Reforestation 4) Monitoring 5) Wildlife and Recreation 6) Education and Outreach 7) Risk Mitigation and Emergency Response
16 #1 Land Acquisitions and Conservation Purchased 2,904 acres of property since plan adoption Placed 295 acres under Conservation Easement since plan adoption
17 Highlight: Purchase of the WGF 2010 CAW purchased the 915ac Winrock Grass Farm (WGF)
18 #2 Forest Management: Rx Fire & Ecological Thinning Primary Goals: Secondary Goals: - Reduce TOC (DBP) - Provide Water Quality Filtration - Produce Healthier & More Resilient Forests - Reduces the Risk of Wildfire - Improve Wildlife Habitat, Plant and Animal Diversity, and Recreational Opportunities
19 Forest Management: Rx Fire & Ecological Thinning Burned: ~2,100 acres 9 units; 10 burns (annual goal 800 1,600) Thinned: 748 acres- 4 units 2018: ~ 500 acres Rotating Rx burns & ecological thinning on existing CAW properties
20 #2 Forest Management: Unpaved Roads Primary Goals: Reduce Sediment Stabilize Access for Management Before Pilot project with Arkansas Forestry Commission on CAW forest roads to demonstrate road BMPs to forest owners. After
21 #3 Restoration & Reforestation Trees planted in acres 44,000+ Trees
22 #3 Restoration: Low-water Crossing Removal Primary Goals: Reduce sediment Reduce nutrients Attenuate flood waters Secondary Goals: Improve fish passage Restore hydrological and ecological connectivity Increase habitat complexity Reestablish recreational connectivity Improve fisheries
23 #3 Restoration: Streambank Stabilization Before After-2013 Restoration is estimated to keep: 123,333 lbs of Sediment & 123 lbs of Phosphorus per year out of Lake Maumelle, an expected reduction of 95%.
