August 17, 2009 Rodney Reynolds, Manager Madison County Water August 17, 2009 Rodney Reynolds, Manager Madison County Water Facilities Board P.O. Box 606 Huntsville, Arkansas 72740 RE: Madison County Water Line Installation Project AFIN: N/A NPDES Permit No.: ARR150000 Dear Mr. Reynolds: On August 13, 2009, I performed a stormwater discharge permit compliance inspection of the above-referenced project in response to a complaint. The complainant was concerned that various permits required for the construction project may not have been obtained. The inspection was conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Clean Water Act, the Arkansas Water and Air Pollution Control Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder. This inspection revealed the following violations: 1. The Notice of Coverage (NOC) was not posted in a publicly accessible location near where construction is actively underway as required for linear projects. This is in violation of Part 1.B.8.C of the permit. Copies of the NOC should be posted at each active construction location. During our phone conversation today, you stated that this phase of the project will ultimately disturb less than 5 acres. As such, your construction project is automatically covered by the permit. A copy of the NOC can be obtained from the Water Division’s Construction Stormwater webpage. 2. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) was not prepared prior to commencement of construction activity. This is in violation Part II.A of the permit. A SWPPP must be prepared and implemented in accordance with Part II.A of the permit, and the plan must follow the order outlined in Part II.A.4-7 of the permit. The SWPPP must be retained at the construction site during normal business hours (8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M.). 3. Lack of adequate stormwater controls at the construction site. This is in violation of Part II.A.4.H of the permit. The permittee must select, install, implement, and maintain best management practices (BMPs) at the site that minimize pollutants in the discharge as necessary to meet applicable water quality standards. BMPs were not utilized in the area where a water line vault was constructed. This vault is located west of War Eagle Creek on a hillside immediately south of CR 8500. Appropriate BMPs must be employed to prevent sediment from being discharged from your easement. Rodney Reynolds, Madison County Water Line Installation August 14, 2009 Page 2 The above items require your immediate attention. Please submit a written response to these findings to Cindy Garner, Water Division Enforcement Branch Manager. This response should be mailed to the address listed at the bottom of Page 1 of this letter. This response should contain documentation describing the course of action planned to correct the items noted. This corrective action should be completed as soon as possible, and the written response is due by August 27, 2009. You stated that the water line will be buried across War Eagle Creek. In accordance with the requirements of Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission Regulation No. 2, you must contact the Department to request a Short Term Activity Authorization to allow for temporary exceedance of the Arkansas Water Quality Standards during the installation of the water line across War Eagle Creek and other stream crossings associated with the construction of the water line. Be aware that authorization must be granted prior to any in-stream construction activity. You may contact Bob Singleton in the Water Quality Planning Branch at 501-682-0645 for assistance with these requirements. For additional information you may contact the Enforcement Branch by telephone at 501-682-0639 or by fax at 501-682-0910. If I can be of any assistance, please contact me at 479-267-0811, ext. 16.

Martin Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute Missouri State University Springfield, MO January 21, 2010 INTRODUCTION The Upper White River Basin Foundation (UWRBF) implemented a water quality monitoring program in the Upper White River Basin in 2008 (www.whiteriverbasin.org). The goal of this program is to provide a long-term and consistent source of water quality and stream health information on the major rivers and tributaries draining into the upper portion of the White River including Beaver Lake, AR, Table Rock Lake, MO, and Bull Shoals Lake, MO/AR. It involves several partners including the United States Geological Survey (USGS), University of Arkansas-Fayetteville, Bull Shoals Field Station (BSFS) at Missouri State University-Springfield (MSU), and Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute (OEWRI) at MSU. The Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute at Missouri State University (oewri.missouristate.edu) is responsible for protocol development, data collection, and trend analysis to support the geomorphology and watershed source monitoring components of the basin-wide stream monitoring program in the Upper White River Basin in Missouri and Arkansas (Figure 1).
