Oklahoma Swine Feeding ActAlthough
the public is not notified of new or expanding poultry farms, adjoining
land owners must be notified about new or expanding hog farms in Oklahoma. Concern exists that hog factory farms may be moving into Arkansas (and possibly northeast Oklahoma) from North Carolina. A controversial new hog farm in Arkansas is located near the Buffalo River, America's first National Scenic River. The Illinois River and Tenkiller Lake have special setback protection from hog farms.

ILLINOIS RIVER 2001 POLLUTANT LOADS AT ARKANSAS HIGHWAY 59 BRIDGEDISCUSSIONThe loads that were calculated for the year 2001 should be considered a very reliable estimate of the actual loads in the Illinois River in Arkansas. There were no gaps in the discharge data and all storm events were sampled adequately.Results from five years water quality monitoring for total phosphorus are summarized as mean concentrations in figure 7. The mean concentrations were determined by dividing the annual load by the annual discharge. Shown are the base flow, storm flow and combined concentrations. Base flow concentrations represent the phosphorus load determined when the river stage was below five feet divided by the total discharge that occurred when the river stage was below five feet. Storm flow concentrations are loads divided by discharge above five feet. The combined flow concentration is the total load divided by the total discharge. Shown also in figure 7 are the linear regression trends of the mean concentrations. These results show an increasing trend in base flow and storm flow concentrations. The regressions indicate that base flow concentrations are increasing 0.02 mg/l per year and that storm flow concentrations are increasing 0.1mg/l per year. This indicates that non-point source contributions to phosphorus in the watershed may be increasing at a much faster rate than are point source contributions.

Nutrient Load Reductions and Streambank Stabilization in Oklahoma's Peacheater Creek Watershed: Successful Implementation of Agricultural BMPsAuthors: Shanon Phillips, Brooks Tramell, and Stacey DayOklahoma Conservation Commission, Water Quality Division, Oklahoma City, OKIn this issue of NWQEP NOTES, we continue our series on National Nonpoint Source Monitoring Program (NMP) projects that have been completed and have documented improvements in water quality due to best management practice (BMP) implementation. The Illinois River watershed, in eastern Oklahoma, was the subject of a 10-year study to address nonpoint source pollution from poultry and cattle operations, primarily nutrients, bacteria and sediment. The study employed a paired-watershed monitoring design to assess potential pollutant load reductions and streambank improvements due to installation of BMPs focusing on riparian, land and waste management. Practices included establishment of riparian buffers, alternative water supplies for cattle, construction of heavy use areas for feeding and storing wastes, poultry litter transport, pasture management, and septic tank installation and repair. Project results documented significant reductions in stream phosphorus loading (71%), stream total nitrogen loading (58%), and erosion and nutrient loading from streambanks following BMP implementation.This issue is now on-line at http://www.ncsu.edu/waterquality/issues/notes126.pdf
