Boone County Beaver Reservoir Watershed Project
The Boone County Beaver Reservoir Watershed Project is a voluntary effort for landowners that provides financial assistance to install practices that conserve and improve soil and water resources while providing economic advantages for land in Boone County, AR. BCCD recognizes that focusing on installing voluntary Best Management Practices (BMPs) is the best method of controlling nutrient, sediment, and bacteria runoff into the sub watersheds of Table Rock Lake and Beaver Lake.
Project Location:
Download the file above for a map of the project area. It includes the sub watersheds of Brush Creek-Table Rock Lake; Long Creek-Table Rock Lake; Callens Branch-Dry Creek; Lick Branch-Long Creek; Terrapin Creek; Bobo Creek-Long Creek; Headwaters Osage Creek.
Funding:
Cost share funds will be provided at a maximum of 40% of the total cost of practice implementation. No individuals can exceed the $2,500.00 per year limit, even with multiple applications. In a three year period, cost share will not exceed $7,500.00 per operator. Arkansas Natural Resources Commission will administer the financial assistance.
In-Kind Contributions:
The non-cost shared match (60%) may be met through the landowners’ labor and materials. Also, non-cost shared practices will be used as in-kind match.
.
Program Eligibility:
Applicants must own or control land within the specified project area in Boone County and agree to implement specific eligible conservation practices as part of a conservation plan which will protect water quality. Conservation practices that protect water quality include cross fencing, livestock exclusion fencing, pasture establishment, livestock watering facilities (troughs and spring developments) including pipelines, filter strips, tree planting, and animal waste facilities.
Funding for this project is made possible through the Clean Water Act, Section 319.
