Lake Fork Watershed Working Group
|
| Historic mining activity severely impaired the waters of the lower Lake Fork and the Arkansas River. The Lake Fork Watershed Working Group is proactively identifying contamination sources and designing and implementing remedies that reduce contamination to the receiving systems. The Group is working to construct an artificial wetland above the Lake Fork to accumulate, neutralize and remove contaminates. |

| Upper Arkansas Watershed Council |
The Upper Arkansas Watershed Council is a self-titled “organization of organizations”. Among the councils accomplishments, it has brought up- and downstream users together to reach an agreement on timed reservoir releases, and facilitated a cooperative "watershed approach" by landowners, mining interests, and state and federal regulators to restore an 11-mile reach of the Upper Arkansas degraded by historic mining wastes.
