The United States Army Corps of Engineers (Vicksburg District)(“Corps”) public noticed on April 27th a Clean Water Act Section 404 permit application for a proposed Greentree Reservoir (“Reservoir”). See Application No. MVK-2021-117.
The application is stated to have been submitted by Crooked Creek Revival, LLC (“Crooked Creek”).
The Corps public notice states that the Reservoir would be constructed in jurisdictional areas for the purpose of constructing a levee (with water control structure). The project would be located within the Bayou Meto Drainage Basin in Lonoke County, Arkansas.
A further description of the project states that the purpose of the reservoir is to impound an existing low-lying area during the winter months to provide seasonal habitat and hunting opportunities for migrating and wintering waterfowl.
The Reservoir would be approximately seven acres in size. Further, the levee is described as approximately 230 feet long, 18 feet wide at the base, 10 feet wide at the crest, and an average of six feet high. Partial seasonal inundation through precipitation and overflow from the adjacent Crooked Creek is stated to be partially received.
The Reservoir would result in the fill of 0.047 acres of forested wetlands and 0.048 acres of scrub-shrub wetlands. The Corps states that no mitigation would be required because the cumulative impacts are below 0.1 acre.
