Project 2 - Cowhorn Creek Enhancement 

Using vegetative, structural or a combination to stabilize the Cowhorn Creek and reduce erosion failures.  The stabilization of Cowhorn Creek for Project 2 will account for approximately 11,000 linear feet of eroding banks with approximately 9,000 linear feet of bioengineering and approximately 2,000 linear feet of native planting. Bioengineering includes the use of approved materials (e.g., combination of engineered and natural plant materials for live staking, fascines, brushwood, brush layers, and vegetation) to stabilize the banks as an alternative to lining the banks with concrete.

Project 3A - Cowhorn Creek Enhancement

Components include combination of restoration of the natural alignment, stabilization, and enhancement of approximately 3,000 linear feet along Cowhorn Creek near Texarkana Community College and Beverley Park Road and creation of approximately 6 acres of wetlands through the restoration of the meandering creek channel by various techniques which may include hard (i.e. rock, retaining walls, gabion wall) and soft (i.e. vegetation, trees, live crib walls) approaches: bank protection/stabilization, bank re-grading, weirs, step pools, and floodplain re-activation via side channels and wetland creation.

Project 3B - Cowhorn Creek Preservation

Preservation in perpetuity of an estimated 2.5 to 3 acres of forested habitat adjacent to the area enhanced in Project 3A.  This wetland habitat will provide opportunities for recreation as well as a space for retaining storm water.

Project 4A - Cowhorn Creek Enhancement

Preservation in perpetuity of approximately 32 acres of wet forested habitat, which will also serve as space to retain storm water that overwhelms the creek channels.

Project 4B - Wetland Conservation

Enhancement, (improvement of water quality, flood water retention and wildlife habitat) of approximately 32 acres of wet forested habitat east of the Tronox Facility and Days Creek in the vicinity of Project 4A, consisting of high-quality deciduous hardwoods. Planned enhancements include litter pickup and understory seeding with native shade-tolerant species to increase the biodiversity.

Project 5 East - Days Creek Enhancement

Preservation in perpetuity of approximately 100 acres of high-quality forested riparian habitat along Days Creek, south of the Texas Viaduct.

Project 5 West - Cowhorn Creek Preservation

Preservation in perpetuity of approximately 100 acres of high-quality forested riparian habitat along Days Creek, along Waggoner Creek.

Project 6 - Days and Howard Creek Enhancement

Restoration and enhancement of approximately 2,000 linear feet at confluence of Howard Creek with Days Creek and the construction of approximately 23 acres of wetlands adjacent to Days Creek south of FM 151 and west of State Line Avenue. Activities include conducting a site assessment and modeling and providing a design in accordance with Sections 6.2 and 6.3 of Interlocal Agreement. If site conditions cannot support 23 acres of wetlands, then a new or amended Work Plan will be submitted, pursuant to Section 6.1, to the Trustees for review and approval allowing the wetlands balance to be transferred to Project 10.

Project 7 - Swampoodle Creek Enhancement

Construction of approximately 2.85 to 3 acres of wetlands, removal of approximately 665-1,000 linear feet of concrete liner along a tributary of Swampoodle Creek at Ferguson Park, and naturalization of the stream through Ferguson Park achieved through concrete removal, plan re-alignment of existing channel, and by creation of fringe wetlands and bioswales with the addition of native plantings. The existing concrete-lined channel is 10 feet wide, approximately 2.5 to 3.0 feet deep, and approximately 650 linear feet in length with no natural banks or creek bed. Wetlands will be created by allowing surface water to meander and sheet flow through parts of the landscape, while conveying storm water runoff and removing debris and pollution using bioswales.

Project 8 - Sampoodle Creek Enhancement

Removing some concrete and prior construction, restoring natural bed and bank conditions,  naturalization of creek alignment, planting of native vegetation and stabilization methods to prevent and repair erosion, of approximately 11,000 linear feet of creek channel on Swampoodle Creek between Ferguson Park and Days Creek. Swampoodle Creek flows directly into Days Creek north of the Tronox Facility. Portions of the channel have concrete-lined banks and beds. The unlined channel is unstable with eroding banks. Activities include conducting a site assessment and modeling and providing a design to allow for a feasible method for channel stabilization.

Project 9 - Swampoodle Creek Enhancement

Restoration of the natural alignment of approximately 1,100 linear feet of Swampoodle Creek.  Currently, portions of the creek channel, specifically at road crossings, are concrete lined. The existing concrete lining will not be removed. Unlined portions of the banks will be laid back to recreate the natural meander and restore forested riparian habitat along this segment.  Swampoodle Creek will be naturalized through a combination of stream restoration techniques that may include excavation, re-grading, planting of native vegetation, and other measures. The bottomland hardwoods cleared from this project site will be restored with appropriate clearing, grubbing, soil enhancements as applicable, and native tree, shrub, and herbaceous ground cover plantings and seeding following/integrated with project site overall channel enhancement activities.

Project 10 - Waggoner Creek Enhancement

Restoration of approximately 2,000 linear feet of creek channel and at least 4 acres of riparian habitat along Waggoner Creek east of Interstate 369.  Restoration techniques may include live staking, live fascines, and brush layers where banks are eroding.  Activities will restore approximately 25 acres of bottomland hardwood forest and scrub shrub wetland habitat to a more native state in cleared areas that are currently a mix of grasses based on a site assessment and enhance an additional 4 acres with litter pick up and understory seeding with native shade-tolerant species to increase the biodiversity.
