The purpose of the AWPF is to provide monies for implementation of projects that will maintain, enhance and restore rivers, streams and associated riparian resources through a yearly competitive public grant process. The Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission (Commission), which oversees the AWPF, is comprised of 15 appointed citizen based voting members and 2 non-voting state agency members. Commissioners represent a variety of land, water use and riparian perspectives. The AWPF was intended to be a proactive response to possible federal intervention in Arizona’s river and riparian resource issues. The program was partially created to promote the use of incentives emphasizing local implementation rather than regulation to address resource concerns. As such, the Commission’s philosophy has been to utilize a grass roots approach to improving river and riparian resources statewide. The program is operated through a competitive grant process that asks the public to propose local solutions rather than having the State dictate specific measures, priorities or areas of concern. Rivers, streams and riparian areas are important resources to the people of Arizona. These resources have been significantly impacted from human uses such as industry, recreation and livestock grazing as well as from natural events such as floods, drought and fire. Proper land and watershed management strategies can make a profound difference in the health and economic value of our rivers and riparian ecosystems. The Commission has invested in 209 projects over the past sixteen years and contributed almost $43 million toward the restoration, protection and enhancement of river and riparian resources in Arizona. As a result, Arizona citizens have realized many benefits from these investments through improvements in water quality, in-stream flows/water supplies, biodiversity, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, flood control and overall watershed health. In addition, important socioeconomic benefits such as jobs and revenue streams are realized by many local communities through the implementation of AWPF projects. The Commission was not able to offer a grant cycle for FY 2013 due to the lack of stable program administration funding; however, continued to hold regular business meetings throughout the year. Staff continued to provide project management for 26 active grant projects and technical assistance to grantees. 2 Arizona Water Protection Fund…… Protecting Arizona’s River and Riparian Resources Arizona Water Protection Fund Creation and Purpose The 1994 Arizona Legislature established the Arizona Water Protection Fund (AWPF) and the Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission (Commission) to administer the AWPF (A.R.S. § 45-2101 et seq.). In passing the enabling legislation, the Legislature declared that their policy was to provide for a coordinated effort for the restoration and conservation of the water resources of the state. The policy was designed to allow the people of Arizona to prosper while providing financial resources for protection and restoration of this State’s rivers, streams and associated riparian habitats, including dependent fish and wildlife resources. The law mandates that financial resources be available through grants to appropriate public and private entities to assist in water resource management activities that are consistent with that policy (A.R.S. § 45-2101 (A)). The primary purpose of the AWPF by statute is to provide an annual source of funds for the development and implementation of measures to protect water of sufficient quality and quantity to maintain, enhance and restore rivers, streams and associated riparian resources, including fish and wildlife resources that are dependent on these important habitats, consistent with existing water law and water rights. The Commission may also provide funding to develop and protect riparian habitats in conjunction with a man-made water resource project, if the man-made water resource project directly or indirectly benefits a river or stream and includes or creates a riparian habitat. Program Organization Arizona Water Protection Fund Commission The Commission is the main policy making body for the AWPF. The Commission is comprised of 15 voting members who must be Arizona residents and are appointed by various officials who, by statute, represent a variety of land, water use and socioeconomic perspectives. In addition, several of the appointed positions require technical expertise in water, natural resources and riparian ecology. There also are two non-voting ex officio members – the Director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources and the Commissioner of the Arizona State Land Department. A list of current Commissioners and vacancies is provided in Table 1. Legislation was introduced during FY 2013 to change the number of Commission members to 9 as well as representative categories. Arizona Water Protection Fund Administration The Arizona Department of Water Resources (ADWR) provides the primary technical, legal and administrative staff to the Commission. The AWPF is managed by its Executive Director under the direction of the Commission. Staffing for the program during FY 2013 included an Executive Director and 1 part time Legal Counsel. The Arizona State Land Department staff position (allowed by statute) that is to act as a special liaison to Natural Resource Conservation Districts has remained vacant. 3 Arizona Water Protection Fund…… Protecting Arizona’s River and Riparian Resources Table 1.

Arizona Water Protection Fund staff managed 26 active grant projects (see project descriptions below) and provided technical assistance to grantees. Staff also implemented a targeted outreach campaign in an attempt to obtain funding to award new grant projects and secure future funding for program administration. In addition, staff actively participated in several river and riparian habitat restoration workshops throughout the year. To date, the Commission has invested in 209 projects and contributed almost $43 million toward the restoration, protection and enhancement of river and riparian resources in Arizona. A wide range of projects have been funded including but not limited to channel restoration, riparian revegetation, wetland creation/restoration, fencing and other grazing management improvements, upland restoration, erosion control, conservation education and applied ecological research. Arizona citizens have realized many benefits from these investments through improvements in water quality, in-stream flows/water supplies, biodiversity, fish and wildlife habitat, recreation, flood control and overall watershed health. In addition, important socioeconomic benefits such as employment opportunities and increased revenue streams are realized by many local communities through the implementation of AWPF projects. A complete list of projects and a location map are included in Appendix A. FY 2013 Grant Cycle The Commission was not able to implement a grant cycle this fiscal year because funding for program administration beyond FY 2013 could not be guaranteed.

Once established, these invasive weeds can create monocultures that significantly alter ecosystems, which degrade wildlife habitat and agricultural lands. Funding for this project is being used to implement a highly aggressive integrated weed management program that will restore and protect thirty miles of the Gila River and its associated riparian habitat in Greenlee County. The project is implementing outreach activities to landowners and the general public with the goal of establishing Early Detection – Rapid Response teams that will be key to longterm control through identification, tracking and trending of invasive weeds. This will allow the community to proactively respond and eradicate any further outbreaks. The project compliments efforts by the Southwest New Mexico Weed Management Area, which is implementing a similar effort on their side of the state line. 11-174WPF: Eagle Creek Riparian Restoration at Filleman Crossing Map # Grantee County AWPF Funding Estimated Completion Date 181 Eagle Creek Riparian Restoration at Filleman Crossing Greenlee $265,776.00 June 30, 2014 Project Description: This project will reduce downstream sedimentation and turbidity; and protect and enhance habitat for federally listed species by armoring a flood-prone road crossing located on the grantee’s private property along US Forest Service Road 217. Greenlee County has agreed, through an easement with the grantee, to maintain the crossing. In recent years the US Forest Service relocated most of the in-stream portion of the road crossing. The crossing is now much shorter, perpendicular to both banks, and typical of most stream crossings. Rock rip-rap, aggregate, geo-textile fabric, and gravel surfacing will be installed and compacted across the stream channel. In addition to containing native species, Eagle Creek at the project site is designated critical habitat for the Gila chub and the loach minnow. 12 Arizona Water Protection Fund…… Protecting Arizona’s River and Riparian Resources 11-175WPF: E. Coli Reduction on the San Francisco River through Alternative Livestock Water on the Kaler Ranch, Phase III Map # 182 Grantee Richard and Lois Kaler County AWPF Funding Estimated Completion Date Greenlee $137,594.43 Completed Project Description: The San Francisco River exceeds water quality standards for E. Coli and is listed on EPA’s 303(d) List of impaired waters. The Gila Watershed Partnership of Arizona, along with county, state and federal partners, determined that possible causes of the E. Coli contamination were wildlife, humans (ineffective septic systems and lack of restroom facilities in recreation areas) and livestock. This project has allowed the Kaler's to permanently exclude their cattle from the riparian area through the installation of an off-channel solar well, water storage tanks and water troughs. On-going monitoring has demonstrated that these management practices have reduced E. Coli levels in the San Francisco River. 11-176WPF: Double Circle Ranch Erosion Control Project, Phase II Map # Grantee County AWPF Funding Estimated Completion Date 183 Wilma Jenkins Greenlee $36,866.60 May 31, 2015 Project Description: The Double Circle Ranch is a 37,000-acre ranch located in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest. The ranch unit has an eight mile boundary within Eagle Creek. Portions of Eagle Creek have been designated as critical habitat for the Loach minnow and Spikedace, two federally protected native fish. The Grantee has implemented many successful projects on their ranch, including two from the AWPF (one erosion control project - 09-163WPF and one fencing project – 06-135WPF). This project is a continuation of work that was implemented with AWPF funding under Grant Number 09-163WPF, and included restoration of certain drainages that feed into Eagle Creek. Like the previous grant, three hands-on workshops (over two and a half days) are being conducted to utilize and educate volunteers on erosion control and restoration practices. By constructing small rock dams, media lunas, splash aprons, and armoring in eroding gullies to catch silt and soil, this project will reduce channel sediment loading, increase vegetation, and improve channel characteristics of the upland drainages. 13 Arizona Water Protection Fund…… Protecting Arizona’s River and Riparian Resources 11-177WPF: Eagle Creek Riparian Protection Grant Project Map # 184 Grantee Darcy Ely County AWPF Funding Estimated Completion Date Greenlee $136,714.11 September 30, 2013 Project Description: This project will protect and preserve water quality and quantity in Eagle Creek, and enhance the riparian corridor by replacement of the San Carlos Apache Reservation boundary fence. Historic livestock use in the Upper Eagle Creek watershed has degraded the upland watershed and associated stream channel and riparian conditions, and reduced the aquatic habitat of Eagle Creek and its upper tributaries. To protect and preserve Eagle Creek and its riparian corridor, the grantee will reconstruct five miles of boundary fence on the 4-Drag ranch between U.S. Forest Service land and the San Carlos Apache Nation. 11-179WPF: Inventory of Tamarisk Leaf Beetle and Effects on Riparian Habitat in the Colorado, Verde, Salt and Tonto Rivers Map # 185 Grantee Northern Arizona University County AWPF Funding Estimated Completion Date Coconino $141,972.80 July 31, 2014 Project Description: The use of Tamarisk leaf beetles, Diorhabda spp. as a potential biocontrol agent against tamarisk began in 1999. Beetles were released in Utah and Colorado in 2000 and since then its range has expanded to include Nevada, Texas, New Mexico and along the Colorado River in Arizona. The effect of defoliation by Tamarisk leaf beetles is likely to affect ecosystem processes, wildlife population dynamics and plant community structure. This project is expanding upon existing research currently being conducted along the Colorado River to include the Verde, Tonto and Salt Rivers. Each of these rivers has varying amounts of tamarisk cover, but do provide habitat for southwestern willow flycatcher and Yellow-billed Cuckoo. The project includes ground surveys to sample for presence and identification of beetle species, measuring microclimate parameters, estimating plant cover and identifying plant species, including nonnative plants that may benefit from defoliation. 14 Arizona Water Protection Fund…… Protecting Arizona’s River and Riparian Resources 11-180WPF: Pakoon Wash and Pakoon Springs Restoration and Enhancement Project Map # 186 Grantee USDI Bureau of Land Management County AWPF Funding Estimated Completion Date Mohave $306,353.00 November 30, 2015 Project Description: Pakoon Springs has been identified as one of the largest and most important spring complexes on the Arizona Strip. This project is a continuation of work that was implemented with AWPF funding under Grant Number 06-137WPF, which restored the Pakoon Springs and stream channel complex to natural conditions. The agricultural irrigation conveyances have been removed and the land has been recontoured and revegetated resulting in multiple restored natural spring features. Perennial flows were reestablished into Pakoon Wash after flows were redirected. As a result, the largest perennial stream in Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument was recreated. That AWPF funded project was recently selected by the BLM as the most successful conservation partnership of the Conservation Lands System. This project is to continue removal of non-native species, reestablish vegetated historic floodplain conditions, restore proper ecosystem function, enhance project monitoring, collaborate with other habitat and fish and wildlife management agencies, develop strategies for translocation of significant rare native species, and develop a unique field site for education and interpretation efforts in this important area. The channel will be recontoured to restore natural stream function. Bullfrog eradication will continue and translocation of two high priority native species includes the rare native relict leopard frog. 11-181WPF: Hidden Slough and Leopard Frog Marsh Restoration in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, AZ Map # 187 Grantee Grand Canyon Wildlands Council County AWPF Funding Estimated Completion Date Coconino $348,901.00 March 31, 2016 Project Description: This project is a 3 year effort initiated by the grantee to assist the National Park Service (NPS) by undertaking riparian restoration and monitoring in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area downstream from Glen Canyon Dam at two sites. The sites are Hidden Slough, located at river mile 6.5Right, and Leopard Frog Marsh at River Mile 9Left. The grantee has implemented many successful projects in Glen and Grand Canyons including tamarisk control and revegetation of 6 acres at Hidden Slough from 2008 to 2010 and they have constructed a native plant nursery at Lee’s Ferry. This project will quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the recent tamarisk removal and revegetation at Hidden Slough, complete tamarisk control, complete the native 15 Arizona Water Protection Fund…… Protecting Arizona’s River and Riparian Resources revegetation process, phase out the on-site irrigation infrastructure, and develop and test a monitoring program for the NPS. The results of these activities are to guide restoration at Leopard Frog Marsh, which will include habitat restoration planning, tamarisk control, native revegetation and reintroduction of the Northern leopard frog on approximately 1 to 1.5 acres. Conclusion In the upcoming fiscal year, the Commission and staff will continue to make substantial progress toward the restoration, protection and enhancement of river and riparian resources throughout the State. The Commission and staff also will continue working to resolve program administration funding issues. If the Commission is successful in securing multi-year program administration funding, the next grant cycle will be implemented in June 2013. The Commission is committed to approving projects that are fiscally responsible and beneficial to the citizens of Arizona. 16 Appendix A: Map and List of AWPF Projects The Map and List of AWPF Projects with Map Key in this report contain a compilation of grants awarded between FY 1995 – 2011 that have been implemented through contracts and had expenditures made against the grant award.
