      <image:title>Events - Mount Sequoyah Public Planting (Copy)</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the Fall of 2024, IRWP partnered with the Mount Sequoyah Retreat Center and FlowState LLC to install green infrastructure on their property. These features increase soil infiltration, reduce stormwater runoff, and hold back water flows. This improves water quality, reduces flooding risk downstream, and creates a thriving habitat for local wildlife! Now, we want to maintain this native landscape - which requires minimal effort! IRWP staff and volunteers will perform an early spring cutback that will make room for new plant growth!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - AR Water Webinar Series “Removing Trash from our Waterways”</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is estimated that 1 to 2 million tons of plastic enter the oceans annually from rivers. Rivers are major conduits of trash, including plastic waste, into oceans. This waste poses a significant threat to drinking water quality, as it can introduce pollutants, bacteria, and viruses that contaminate water sources, leading to potential health risks. Trash capture technologies have been developed to remove trash from waterways.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - Restoring Prairie Grove Battlefield: Reconnecting Land, Water, and History - The Illinois River starts in Washington Country near Hogeye and flows west to Oklahoma, crossing the state line at Watts. It is at the heart of Prairie Grove Battlefield State Park, supporting rich floodplain, prairie, and woodland ecosystems. Restoration efforts will strengthen these river corridors, improving water quality while reconnecting the landscape to its natural and historic roots.</image:title>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - Fertile Fields = Cleaner Water - How is soil health linked to water quality?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil play a critical role in how water is absorbed, stored, and moves across the landscape, making healthy soil a cornerstone of effective water management. By testing soil to identify specific deficiencies or excesses, we can better address the land’s resource needs and support property owners in achieving their land management goals.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - Fertile Fields = Cleaner Water - How will testing my soil help me improve my lands productivity?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Soil testing provides an important decision-making tool that can aid landowners when determining what key nutrients to apply and how much. Reducing unnecessary inputs on production can help a growing season go from breaking even to turning a profit!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - Fertile Fields = Cleaner Water - I raise livestock, will soil sampling benefit my operation?</image:title>
      <image:caption>By monitoring their soils, landowners can take action to improve the nutrient value of available forages in their pasture for their livestock. It is important to remember that forage quality is just as important as quantity, and it can be greatly affected by soil management practices like Rotational Grazing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - Fertile Fields = Cleaner Water - I am a hay producer, can soil sampling help me increase my yield?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Soil that has effective nutrient management has the potential for higher yielding and higher quality crops, and that applies to hay production. You can test for Total Nitrogen, it is included in basic soil tests, and it can be an indicator for plant’s dry matter (DM) production, which greatly influences hay yields. With this information on your soil fertility you can avoid over-spending on fertilizer which can be a significant cost when producing hay.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - Fertile Fields = Cleaner Water - Can improving my properties soil health prevent erosion on my streambank?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Soil with a dense root system and high in organic matter can be resilient against erosion. The photo on the left shows a streambank that has minimal plant coverage, leading to its rapid erosion that cleaves clumps of soil off the property with each flood event. Growing a vegetated riparian buffer can help you keep your streambank intact!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto - Mulch in Place</image:title>
      <image:caption>How to Do It: Cut dead plant material into pieces up to 8 inches long and leave them around the bases of plants and in garden beds. For smaller projects, use hedge trimmers, garden shears, or pruners; for larger-scale projects, use mowers or brush hogs. When to Use: Ideal for established plantings, especially those producing significant organic material.  Pro Tip: Native plants should be cut back in late winter/early spring. Leave 6-12 inch stumps of pithy stems to support native bees and insects that lay eggs and nest inside them.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto - Green Mulch</image:title>
      <image:caption>How to Do It: Use fresh grass clippings, garden trimmings, or freshly-pulled weeds as mulch in 1 - 2 inch layers. When to Use: Suitable year round for great moisture retention and quick nutrient addition. Pro Tip: Lawn clippings generate heat as they rapidly decompose, so be careful not to pile next to young plants. Keep green mulch layers thin to avoid matting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto - Living Mulch</image:title>
      <image:caption>Nature’s Best Mulch: The best way to cover the soil is with plants! Native ground covers like violetes (Viola sororia) and sedges (Carex sp.) are excellent at shading the soil, helping to retain moisture while also supporting vulnerable wildlife like the Diana Fritillary- Arkansas’ State Butterfly. Pro Tip: Nature arranges itself in layers. Taller plants provide shade for shorter plants that cover the soil, increasing moisture retention and improving nutrient availability. A layered garden not only looks more natural but is also more resilient.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto - Pine Straw</image:title>
      <image:caption>Benefits: Locally available pine straw offers excellent moisture retention and weed suppression while being lightweight and easy to apply. Sustainability Tip: Harvest responsibly by collecting only 20-30% of fallen needles to avoid harming ecosystems. When purchased, ensure it comes from a sustainable source. Pro Tip: Don't worry about pine needles making your soil too acidic! When left on the surface, they have little impact on soil pH, as microbes naturally neutralize acidity during decomposition.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto - Undyed Wood Chips</image:title>
      <image:caption>Benefits: Wood chips suppress weeds, retain moisture, and decompose slowly to add nutrients to the soil.  Sourcing: Obtain wood chips sustainably from local tree services, compost centers, or apps like ChipDrop. Bags of cedar and cypress wood chips are available at box stores for convenience. Aged hardwood mulch is a popular undyed dark mulch that can be purchased from landscape supply stores.  Pro Tip: Avoid mixing wood chips into the soil, as they can deplete available nitrogen. This makes them not ideal for annual gardens, like vegetable beds, where the soil is frequently disturbed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto - Mulch Depth</image:title>
      <image:caption>Best Practice: Apply 2 - 3 inches for most beds; 1 - 2 inches for seedlings or plants in thin soils. Risks of Excess Mulch (more than 4 inches): Blocks water and air, leading to root rot and fungal problems. Pro Tip: Dry prairie species like Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) are highly sensitive to crown rot. To prevent this, avoid piling mulch, especially wood mulch, around the plant’s crown. It's best to gently clear the soil around the crown in early spring to prevent rot.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto - Mulching a Tree</image:title>
      <image:caption>What to Avoid: Piling mulch against tree trunks traps moisture, causes rot, encourages pests, and can cause girdling where tree roots wrap around the trunk of the tree essentially strangling itself.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60340fef633126034cdb3b02/2bfae4b0-0633-4c15-813d-5aef3ae7b958/20250224_151016+%281%29.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto</image:title>
      <image:caption>Best Practice: Keep mulch 3 - 4 inches deep, with a 6-inch mulch-free zone around trunks. Aim for a "donut," not a "volcano." Keep the root flare of trees exposed.</image:caption>
    </image:image>

      <image:title>Stewardship Stories - A Mulch Manifesto - Avoid Rock Mulch</image:title>
      <image:caption>Heat and Water Issues: Rock mulch retains heat, increasing soil temperatures and limiting water infiltration, which can harm plants and soil life. Nutrient Deprivation: Unlike organic mulch, rocks do not decompose, depriving the soil of essential organic matter and nutrients. Maintenance Challenges: Dirt and debris accumulate over time, encouraging weeds and requiring labor-intensive upkeep.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“Each week we mow 45 million acres of lawns, an area larger than Florida. Two million more acres of lawns are added each year. Over the growing season, 800 million gallons of gasoline are used. We use 25,000 gallons of water per lawn to keep it green, half of our household water consumption. Lawns are our biggest irrigated crop but we cannot eat it or sell it.“ (AR.Audubon.org)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Streambank Erosion and Restoration - Streambank Erosion in the Illinois River Watershed</image:title>
      <image:caption>In the Illinois River Watershed, many farmers, ranchers, and families are losing acres of land every year from streambank erosion; the estimated loss of productive land in our watershed is 20 acres each year. This loss in productive and valuable land results in financial losses to landowners today as well as future generations. Here at IRWP, we are monitoring streambank erosion and providing grants and technical assistance to landowners to reduce erosion and improve land productivity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This image shows a cross-section of Muddy Fork, a tributary of the Illinois River, where erosion has left a steep cut bank. The bank and the vegetation are sheared away over time from the volume and velocity of water hitting the channel during rain events.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Streambank Erosion and Restoration - Upper Illinois River Watershed</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Upper Illinois River watershed is defined for this plan as the Arkansas portion of the eight (8)-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC8) 11110103, Illinois watershed. The Upper Illinois River watershed encompasses 758 square miles in northwestern Arkansas (Figure 2.1). A number of cities are located within the watershed, including Fayetteville, Gentry, Prairie Grove, Rogers, Siloam Springs, and Springdale. The largest towns are located along the eastern watershed boundary, Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville. US Highways 62 and 412, and Interstate 49, cross the watershed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Septic Tanks and Water Quality - Drinking Water Contamination</image:title>
      <image:caption>When a septic system fails, untreated contaminants can be introduced into drinking water sources through groundwater transport of septic effluent into a well or spring. This kind of contamination is of particular concern if a well is located too close to a septic drainfield or is not dug deeply enough. Soil and topography also play a roll in the contamination risk because the more quickly wastewater infiltrates the ground, the greater the risk of wastewater being introduced to a drinking source before being properly filtered. In our watershed, thin soils and fractured bedrock can quickly transport groundwater, so it is very important that drain fields are appropriately located to avoid the risk of drinking water contamination.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Septic Tanks and Water Quality - Surface Water Impact</image:title>
      <image:caption>Improperly treated wastewater in groundwater can also enter surface waters through natural springs. Likewise, when a septic failure leads to sewage seepage above ground that wastewater can then be directly transported to surface waters through storm runoff. Septic effluent contains dangerous pathogens, high levels of phosphorus &amp; nitrogen nutrients and other contaminants of concern in our watershed. Nutrients, especially phosphorus, cause eutrophication or accelerated growth of algae in freshwater which leads to low oxygen levels, dirty water, risks of toxins and generally unpleasant conditions. These effects combined with the introduction of pathogens and other pollutants impair the ability of waterbodies to support drinking water capture, recreation, and the health and viability of the natural ecosystems that depend on these resources.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Watershed Management Plan - Upper Illinois River Watershed</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Upper Illinois River watershed is defined for this plan as the Arkansas portion of the eight (8)-digit hydrologic unit code (HUC8) 11110103, Illinois watershed. The Upper Illinois River watershed encompasses 758 square miles in northwestern Arkansas (Figure 2.1). A number of cities are located within the watershed, including Fayetteville, Gentry, Prairie Grove, Rogers, Siloam Springs, and Springdale. The largest towns are located along the eastern watershed boundary, Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville. US Highways 62 and 412, and Interstate 49, cross the watershed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FAQ - Time to Reimbursement? - How long after the project is complete can I expect to receive reimbursement?</image:title>
      <image:caption>After final invoices and a signed permit for operation are received, IRWP will include the funding request for your property with the next disbursement submission to the Arkansas Naturals Resources Division. IRWP submits project funding requests once per month. Final documents received by the 14th of the month will result in payment issue by the 10th of the following month. So it is important to provide final documents as soon as they are available.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FAQ - Already have design? - Am I eligible to participate if I have received a design, but have not hired an installer yet?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Yes! Provided that all eligibility requirements are met (the home is located in the Illinois River watershed, the Health Department confirms that the system is failing or otherwise in need of replacement, and program terms are agreed to), then the home is eligible for program assistance. Complete the Application Qualification Form and contact the Program Manager with any questions. Do NOT hire an installer without submitting an application and receiving approval to do so from IRWP. Hiring an installer without following program steps may eliminate your home from program participation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FAQ - On a septic? - How do I know if I am on a septic system?</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a very common question. It may not be immediately clear, especially for a new homeowner, that home is on septic. You are most likely on a septic system if you are on well water (not on the city water utility), the water line coming to your house does not have a meter, your neighbors are on septic, and/or you live in a rural area. If you are on city water but unsure about city sewer, look to see if there are any sewer charges on the bill. If not, you may be on septic. Contact the Environmental Health Specialist at your local County Health Unit to be sure.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FAQ - Mortgage Agrmt - What is a mortgage agreement and how does it affect my home loan?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The mortgage agreement is one of two documents required in order to receive the zero-interest loan component of the program funding. The other document is the promissory note which is the actual loan contract. The mortgage agreement is strictly a method of securing the zero-interest loan. It is an agreement that establishes IRWP as a lien holder on the property for the amount of the loan contracted in the promissory note. It is similar to the mortgage agreement on a home loan (often called a "mortgage loan" which can cause some confusion) in that it is an agreement to use the property as colateral to secure the loan, but it does not affect the agreement with your primary lender in any way. Another common question is, "what happens to the mortgage agreement and loan contract when the home is sold?" Most commonly, the mortgage agreement will be retired when the loan is paid off using proceeds from the sale. This is the same way the mortgage is typically retired on your home from your primary lender. There are other legal arrangements regarding transfer of security instruments to new owners, but retiring existing debt and liens is the most common.</image:caption>

Only the income of those with title to the home are considered. In the case of joint ownership, the sum of all owner incomes is used for this program.</image:caption>

      <image:title>FAQ - Decline Loan? - If I qualify, can I decline the loan portion of the assistance and only accept the grant funds?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Yes. Request a Loan Declination Statement from the Program Manager to decline loan financing. The grant portion for which you are eligible will not be affected by the decision to forgo loan funds. Please keep in mind also that there is no prepayment penalty associated with the loan funding which can be retired at any time regardless of the established terms.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed - How do we study ecological health?</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2018 and 2019, IRWP partnered with local schools’ Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) programs to assess twenty-one locations in April, August, and November of each year. In 2020 and 2021, IRWP partnered with Oklahoma Conservation Commission’s Blue Thumb staff and volunteers to assess twelve locations during the same months. The full report summarizes findings from the first four years of study while we focus here on the Oklahoma portion of the watershed which makes up approximately 54% of the entire Illinois River Watershed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed - Macroinvertebrate Diversity Results in Oklahoma and Arkansas</image:title>
      <image:caption>Macroinvertebrate diversity was significantly higher across all Oklahoma sites when compared to Arkansas. In Arkansas, the sites with the lowest diversity scores were found in Muddy Fork and Clear Creek subwatersheds. The site with the highest diversity score in Arkansas was also found in Clear Creek subwatershed. In Oklahoma, the site with the lowest average diversity score was found in Barren Fork and the site with the highest average diversity score was found in Flint Creek (see figure).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed - Barron Fork</image:title>
      <image:caption>The headwaters of Barren Fork begin in southern Washington county in Arkansas, however, most of this subwatershed is in Oklahoma. The Barren Fork drainage basin covers more land area than the main stem of the Illinois river and contains the largest piece of conserved land in the Illinois River Watershed – the J.T. Nickel Preserve (owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy). This 17,000-acre Preserve consists of uplands and lowlands including upland prairies, oak/hickory dominant forest, and sustainably managed pasture lands.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed - Caney Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Caney Creek is a largely rural watershed and is dominated by forested hillsides and agricultural pastures. The headwaters of the creek begin along Highway 59 close to Stilwell in Adair County, Oklahoma. The creek flows westward and eventually drains into Lake Tenkiller. There is no confluence between Caney Creek and either the Illinois River or the Barren Fork tributary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed - Flint Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>The headwaters of Flint Creek are located in rural parts of Benton County, Arkansas. The creek flows into Oklahoma where it converges with Sager Creek and then into the main stem of the Illinois River. Flint Creek is a relatively small and unknown tributary, and it remains a high-quality, scenic stream system surrounded by forested lands. After showing a 4% increase in forested land between 1992 and 2016, 3 percent of that gain was lost between 2016 and 2019. This may be explained by the 1 percent increase in developed land and 1 percent increase in pasture/hay land use.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Town Branch flows from north to south through the city of Tahlequah, Oklahoma where it connects with the Illinois River to the southeastern edge of the city. This stream has been impacted by the pressures of urbanization, however, the City of Tahlequah has taken steps to mitigate these challenges through several stream and riparian area restoration projects.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed 2022 - How do we study ecological health?</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2018, 2019, and 2022, IRWP partnered with local schools’ Environmental and Spatial Technology (EAST) programs to assess twenty-one locations in April, August, and November of each year. In 2020 and 2021, IRWP partnered with Oklahoma Conservation Commission’s Blue Thumb staff and volunteers to assess twelve locations during the same months. Arkansas subwatersheds were the focus of the 2022 EcoAssessment report. The full report summarizes findings from the first five years of study while we focus here on the Arkansas portion of the watershed which makes up approximately 46% of the entire Illinois River Watershed.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Clear creek is the most urbanized subwatershed assessed in this project.  The area continues to urbanize throughout all major tributaries.  The assessed tributaries of Clear Creek include sites upstream and downstream of Lake Fayetteville – a reservoir created in 1949 as a drinking water supply for the City of Fayetteville.  Today, the lake features extensive recreational amenities that are owned and managed by the city.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed 2022 - Moore’s Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Moore’s Creek is a rural subwatershed located in southern Washington County, Arkansas.  The city of Lincoln (pop. 2,444) is located in the watershed and includes Lincoln Lake – a 90-acre reservoir originally used as the city’s water supply.  The lake offers recreation opportunities including mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, non-motorized boating, and fishing.  Agricultural land is the predominant land use, but large areas of forest exist at upper elevations on the norther boundary of the Boston Mountains.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed 2022 - Muddy Fork</image:title>
      <image:caption>Muddy Fork subwatershed is located just east of the Moore’s Creek subwatershed.  The headwaters are located to the south of the City of Prairie Grove and the stream flows north until it converges with the Illinois River mainstem at Savoy.  Land use is similar to Moore’s Creek with pasture lands dominating flat, low-lying areas and forested hillsides towards the south end of the watershed. This portion of the watershed is also experiencing and increase in the amount of urbanization and development.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed 2022 - Sager Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sager Creek is technically a tributary of the Flint Creek subwatershed and is located in the Siloam Springs area of Arkansas.  The historic ecology of the area has been upland prairie and oak savannah which has since been converted into pasture lands and suburban development.  Siloam Springs has experienced rapid suburban growth recently and has taken steps to conserve and protect Sager Creek during this period of growth.  The City of Siloam Springs owns much of the land surrounding Sager Creek and has annexed the land for paved trail use as well as an extensive riparian reforestation effort during the early 2000’s.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Nitrate Concentration Results in Oklahoma and Arkansas</image:title>
      <image:caption>All assessed stream reaches fell well under this criterion. Arkansas sub-watersheds averaged a higher concentration of nitrates than Oklahoma sub-watersheds. Blair Creek and Evansville Creek did have substantially lower nitrate concentration averages than the rest of the Arkansas stream reaches. Barren Fork averaged the lowest nitrate concentration of all sub-watersheds and of the remaining Oklahoma stream reaches, Town Branch averaged the highest concentration.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Total Phosphorus Concentration Results in Oklahoma and Arkansas</image:title>
      <image:caption>The criteria standard for total phosphorus (TP) concentration is 0.037mg/L, which is marked with the black line on the graph. Only Barren Fork’s average TP concentration fell below this criteria standard. In the full report, graphs over time for both Arkansas and Oklahoma’s stream reaches show that the only waterway to decrease in TP concentration over time is Arkansas’ Sager Creek. All other streams either increased in concentration or fluctuated. This is a troubling trend across both sides of the watershed. Muddy Fork had the highest average concentration of TP. Arkansas’ average is nearly double that of Oklahoma’s.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The criteria standard for sulfate concentration in the surface waters of the Illinois River is 20 mg/L. All sub-watersheds except the Illinois River and Osage Creek had a sulfate concentration average that fell beneath this threshold. In the full report, graphs over time for both Arkansas and Oklahoma’s stream reaches show that the only waterway to decrease in sulfate concentration over time is Arkansas’ Sager Creek. All other streams either increased in concentration or fluctuated. This is a troubling trend across both sides of the watershed.

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Total Coliform Concentration Results in Oklahoma and Arkansas</image:title>
      <image:caption>The laboratory maximum detection limit for total coliforms is 2,419.6 MPN/100mL. This means that any concentration in excess of this value are recorded as 2,419.6. In Oklahoma, data trends year by year for total coliform concentration changes have shown an overall downward trend, which is promising. In Arkansas, all stream reaches except for Clear Creek and Spring Creek had an average total coliform concentration of the detection limit, which does not give much insight into changes over time. These graphs showing trends over time are included in the full report.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Ballard Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Ballard Creek is an agriculture dominant sub-watershed with a decent coverage of deciduous forest. Chicken farming and cattle grazing are a major feature across this landscape. Highways 59, 62, and 244 cut the 72 km2 area into four quadrants. The headwaters of Ballard creek are to the west of Lincoln and travels into Oklahoma before connecting with the Illinois River main stem near Watts Oklahoma. This subwatershed is called Upper Ballard Creek, while the downstream section of the creek entirely in Oklahoma is Lower Ballard Creek.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Blair Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Blair Creek is a small tributary to the Upper Muddy Fork. Of the 72 km2 area, land use is mostly pastureland and deciduous forest, almost in equal parts. There is a large community of chicken and turkey farming. Most of the city of Prairie Grove is within this sub-watershed and the city’s wastewater treatment plant discharges into the Upper Muddy Fork. A small section of the Prairie Grove Battlefield Park, a state park of protected land, is within this sub-watershed.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Clear Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Clear Creek is an urbanized sub-watershed, containing parts of Fayetteville, Johnson, and Springdale. The 59 km2 area continues to urbanize as the Northwest Arkansas area grows in population. A major feature of this sub-watershed is Lake Fayetteville – a reservoir created in 1949 as a drinking water supply for the City of Fayetteville. Lake Fayetteville has also been listed as an impaired waterbody for pH (the compiled AR &amp; OK 303(d) lists for 2018 &amp; 2020 are located in the Appendix). Today, the lake features extensive recreational amenities that are owned and managed by the city with more restoration and recreation projects expected. The site assessed in this project is located at the public access point owned by Springdale Water Utilities and is maintained as a prairie restoration site. ADEQ delisted Clear Creek as a category 5 waterbody in the 2018 303(d) list, however it was considered impaired at the time of developing this Ecological Assessment and remains on our assessment because it is a category 1b TMDL for pathogens.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Evansville Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Upper Evansville Creek is a highly forested sub-watershed and is the least developed portion of the Arkansas side of the Illinois River Watershed. This is likely due to the highly sloping landscape making typical agriculture development strategies difficult in this area. A small portion of the sub-watershed dips into Crawford County and contains protected land within the Boston Mountain range. It follows a similar chicken and turkey farming trend as the rural sub-watersheds nearby.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - The Illinois River</image:title>
      <image:caption>The sections of the Illinois River selected for assessment are the Chambers Hollow-Illinois River and the Lake Frances-Illinois River sub-watersheds. The Chamber Hollows segment has a 79 km2 area, is largely unurbanized, and is sandwiched between the Springdale/Tontitown metro area and Siloam Springs. The Lake Francis segment has a 94 km2 area and though there is not much urban development, there are many developed recreation access points to the river, including many private outfitters, the Siloam Springs Kayak Park, and WOKA Whitewater Park. North of the sub-watershed lies Siloam Springs. Deciduous forest makes up the majority of the land use, but unfortunately most of this forest is not located in riparian zones close to the Illinois River. Land adjacent to the river is relatively flat and fertile due to intermittent flooding patterns, which lends itself well to pastureland utilized by farmers. This sub-watershed contains a stretch of the river that is a typical recreation hotspot for floating. Along with a few rudimentary access areas upstream, Chamber Springs Access just off Highway 412 is a popular spot maintained by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. South of the river in this sub-watershed lies the Ozark National Forest, which is protected land. North of the river, there is a lot of agricultural development of pasture and grazing land. Osage Creek, a major tributary, meets the Illinois River just upstream of this sub-watershed boundary.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Moore’s Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Moore’s Creek is a rural sub-watershed located in southern Washington County, Arkansas. The city of Lincoln is located in the sub-watershed as well as Lincoln Lake, a 90-acre reservoir originally used as the city’s water supply. The lake offers recreation opportunities including mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, non-motorized boating, and fishing. Agricultural land, mostly chicken and turkey farmers, is the predominant land use for its 64 km2 area, but large patches of deciduous forest exist at upper elevations on the northern boundary of the Boston Mountains.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Muddy Fork</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Muddy Fork Creek sub-watershed is located just east of the Moore’s Creek sub-watershed. This is considered the Lower Muddy Fork and to the south is the Upper Muddy Fork, which is where Blair Creek is found. The headwaters are to the south of the City of Prairie Grove and the stream flows north until it converges with the Illinois River mainstem at Savoy. Land use is similar to Moore’s Creek with pasture lands, mostly for grazing, dominating flat, low-lying areas and forested hillsides. To the north is the Ozark National Forest and Lake Wedington. This portion of the watershed is also experiencing an increase in the amount of urbanization and development.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Osage Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Osage Creek is a major tributary of the Upper Illinois River. The headwaters of Osage Creek are in the urban areas of the cities of Bentonville, Cave Springs, and Rogers. These cities are experiencing rapid growth and urban development as the NWA metropolitan area continues toward a population boom. Developed land makes up the majority of the 121 km2 area while pastureland and deciduous forest are found along many of the small tributary creeks and in the southwest portion of the sub-watershed. Though only 32% of the land cover is occupied by pastures, over 1 million chickens and a substantial number of cows and turkeys are raised in the area, making for high density agricultural practices. In the southeast region of the sub-watershed is a popular informal waterway access at Snavely Bridge, also the location of sampling for this EcoAssessment. This sub-watershed also contains a point source of pollution, Northwest Arkansas Conservation Authority’s (NACA) wastewater treatment facility serving the cities of Bentonville, Cave Springs, Elm Springs, Lowell, and Tontitown.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Sager Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sager Creek is a tributary of Flint Creek and it winds through the Siloam Springs area of Arkansas. The historic ecology of the area has been upland prairie and oak savannah, which has since been converted into pasture lands and suburban development. Siloam Springs has experienced rapid suburban growth recently and has taken steps to conserve and protect Sager Creek during this period of growth. The City of Siloam Springs owns much of the land surrounding Sager Creek and has annexed the land for paved trail use as well as an extensive riparian reforestation effort during the early 2000s. Chesney Prairie Natural Area, land protected by the Arkansas Natural Heritage Commission, is tucked away in the northeast corner of the sub-watershed. Most of the 56 km2 area is pastureland, but there is substantial developed land making up Siloam Springs and forested land along Sager Creek to the west of the city. This sub-watershed also contains a point source of pollution, the Siloam Springs wastewater treatment facility which services the city of Siloam Springs and the surrounding area.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Spring Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spring Creek is a tributary of Osage Creek with headwaters in the Springdale and Lowell metro areas. As Springdale and Lowell continue to grow in population, along with the rest of NWA, land area is increasingly being developed into suburbs. Pastureland dots the areas between Springdale and Lowell and to the west of Interstate Highway 49. Some deciduous forest is found along the creek, mostly to the west. Over 750,000 chickens are raised, and substantial cow and turkey farming are practiced within this highly developed area. This sub-watershed contains a point source of pollution, the Springdale wastewater treatment facility which services the cities of Springdale, Elm Springs, and portions of Lowell and Johnson.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Barren Fork</image:title>
      <image:caption>The headwaters of Barren Fork (sometimes referred to as Baron Fork) begin in southern Washington County in Arkansas, however, most of this stream reach is in Oklahoma. This is a major tributary to the Illinois River which confluences just to the north of Tenkiller Lake. The full Barren Fork drainage basin covers more land area than the main stem of the Illinois River and contains the largest piece of conserved land in the Illinois River Watershed – the J.T. Nickel Preserve (owned and managed by The Nature Conservancy). This 17,000-acre Preserve consists of uplands and lowlands, including upland prairies, oak/hickory dominant forest, and sustainably managed pasture lands. Very little development has occurred within the entire Barren Fork watershed unit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Caney Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>Caney Creek is a largely rural watershed and is dominated by forested hillsides and agricultural pastures. This area of land is home to high quality ecological communities as well as the westernmost portions of the Boston Mountain range. The headwaters of the creek begin along Highway 59 close to Stilwell in Adair County, Oklahoma. The creek flows westward and eventually drains into Lake Tenkiller. There is no confluence between Caney Creek and either the Illinois River or the Barren Fork tributary.  Ground was broken in April of 2024 for the development of a new water 2024 Ecological Assessment of the Illinois River Watershed treatment plant which will expand its capacity to serve rural water districts throughout Adair County.</image:caption>

      <image:title>2024 Ecological Assessment - Flint Creek</image:title>
      <image:caption>The headwaters of Flint Creek are located in rural parts of Benton County, Arkansas. The creek flows into Oklahoma where it converges with Sager Creek and then into the main stem of the Illinois River. Flint Creek is a relatively small and unknown tributary. Most of its land coverage is forested area with some pastureland and minimally developed land. Therefore, it remains a high-quality, scenic stream system surrounded by forested lands. It consistently is the highest scoring sub-watershed for MDIS that IRWP assesses, which are an indicator for thriving and healthy freshwater ecosystems.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Town Branch flows from north to south through the city of Tahlequah, Oklahoma where it connects with the Illinois River to the southeastern edge of the city. This stream has been impacted by the pressures of urbanization. The City of Tahlequah and Grand River Dam Authority have taken steps to mitigate such challenges as bacteria presence and nutrient surplus through several stream and riparian area restoration projects. This sub-watershed contains a point source of pollution, the Tahlequah wastewater treatment facility which services the city and surrounding areas.</image:caption>
