1 Bayou Bartholomew Watershed Summary of the Water Quality in the Bayou Bartholomew Watershed The Bayou Bartholomew Watershed is located in southeastern Arkansas. Portions of the watershed are in Jefferson, Lincoln, Drew, and Ashley counties. Land use in the watershed is diverse approximately 34
2 30% agricultural cropland, 60% forest, 2% urban, and 8% pasture and water. An assessment completed by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) in 2001 identified six stream segments of the bayou and its tributaries not supporting aquatic life due to heavy silt loading. A draft TMDL was developed for this watershed by FTN addressing turbidity in terms of Suspended Solids (TSS). The TMDL states a need for a 34% reduction in TSS during the December through June time frame. This time frame coincides crop harvest and residuals being plowed in and seedbed preparation in the spring. Additionally, denuded riparian areas contribute to silt loading. ASWCC will be utilize the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) to evaluate BMPs that would have the most beneficial and cost effective results in specific areas of the watershed. Agriculture: Nonpoint Source Pollution Issues The ASWCC, Nonpoint Source Section 319 selected projects in FY 00, and FY 02 to address sedimentation in the watershed. The focus of these projects are to address Category 10 Agriculture, Goal A Restore designated uses in streams where sedimentation from irrigated/nonirrigated row crop production is identified as causing impairment. Projects and have been coordinated by the Bayou Bartholomew Alliance (BBA). The alliance has partnered the U of A Cooperative Extension Service, Ducks Unlimited, Conservation Districts, as well as many other agencies, concerned citizens and groups to develop, initiate, and complete projects. Bayou Bartholomew Watershed Project (Project ): focuses on reducing sediment through conservation planning and BMP implementation. Results of the project are given in the Bayou Bartholomew Watershed Project Data at the end of this watershed report. Bayou Bartholomew Watershed Nonpoint Source Pollution Abatement Project (Project ): focuses on reducing sediment through conservation planning and BMP implementation. The project also incorporates a conservation riparian easement and establishment component. Results of the project are given in the Bayou Bartholomew Watershed Project Data at the end of this watershed report. Silviculture: Guidance and Options for Private Landowners With Regard to Stream Side Timber Harvest and in the Bayou Bartholomew Watershed (Project ): This project addresses Category 20 Silviculture, Goal A Item 3 develop and deliver an information / education program for landowners, loggers, and District Foresters emphasizing BMP planning and implementation for erosion control and sediment management. The BBA coordinated the project and partnered the Arkansas Forestry Commission to develop and deliver educational materials through a series of workshops to private landowners regard to timber harvest management. Bayou Bartholomew Watershed Nonpoint Source Pollution Abatement Project Information / Education /Awareness Activity Project Workshops 7 Number of Attendees 224 Urban: The Bayou Bartholomew Alliance has worked the City of Pine Bluff and received a grant from the Arkansas Highway Department to build and develop a nature trail. The trail has been completed and was dedicated to the citizens of Pine Bluff. The 35
3 trail winds through 1.8 miles of wetland and riparian habitat along the bayou. The development of this trail serves two distinct purposes: 1) it serves as an outdoor study and observation area for students and 2) it preserves the area (the bayou headwaters) from being developed. ASWCC Mini-grant Program The ASWCC Minigrant Program used 2003 EPA grant funds to help place a variety of education equipment in the Lincoln County Conservation District Water Quality Trends The ADEQ has published a draft TMDL for turbidity for Bayou Bartholomew. In the TMDL study, a relationship is presented between sediment and turbidity and the TMDL requires a 29 to 37 percentage reduction in sediment. Cropland is identified as the major source of sediment in the watershed. STEPL, a simple spreadsheet based model provided by EPA to evaluate BMPs, was used to estimate the effectiveness of BMPs implemented over the last year. With R and C of the USLE set at 350 and 0.31 respectively, STEPL computes an annual sediment load of 54,147 tons per year. The other parameters of the USLE were left at the default values of the model. This compares very well to the 54,195 tons per year computed by the SWAT model used in the TMDL study. Data from the Conservation Districts indicates that approximately 11,100 acres in the watershed have been converted to some form of conservation tillage over the last couple years. In addition, 868 acres of riparian buffer have been established. Using the default sediment removal efficiency value of 0.75 for conservation tillage and streambank stabilization, an estimated sediment load reduction of 650 tons per year is made. This is an annual sediment load reduction of 1.2%. Any Nonpoint Source Pollution monitoring data that is available is reported in the Arkansas Nonpoint Source Pollution Monitoring Program section of this report.
