EC Bar Ranch Conservation Projects

The TMDL Report recommends "A variety of Best Management Practices (BMPs) can be utilized as part of the implementation strategy to help reduce sediment loading to Nutrioso Creek."

"The areas where historic overgrazing occurred may have the riparian corridor fenced off on private land to keep out cattle and elk during critical growing periods. Cattle grazing in the riparian corridor could be confined to only the dormant winter months, which will allow for the emergent plants in the spring to grow and take hold."

Practice examples: (1) SIP riparian fencing, (2) ADEQ Grant 1-002 task #3, (3)  ADEQ Grant 3-006 task #3, #4
