Greenways and Trails Best Practices Case Studies Series Tennessee Department of Transportation Long Range Planning Division SHELBY COUNTY, TENNESSEE COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY: GREENWAYS AND TRAILS The Shelby Farms Greenline Trail is a 7-mile paved trail for non-motorized transportation that runs from the Binghampton Community (east of Midtown Memphis) to Shelby Farms Park, a 4,500 acre green space in the heart of Shelby County. The Wolf River Greenway is a 2.7 mile corridor of protected green space in Shelby County along the Wolf River that also includes a paved pathway for bicycles and pedestrians. These trails are incredible community assets that provide new opportunities for recreation, exercise, fellowship, commuting, and healthy activity for the residents of Memphis and Shelby County, Tennessee. STEP I: BUILDING PROJECT SUPPORT • Project support for the Shelby Farms Greenline and the Wolf River Greenway was driven mainly by the Shelby Farms Parks Conservancy and the Wolf River Conservancy. • A coalition was built through numerous private and public entities including the Memphis MPO. • The public has been involved through numerous planning and public information meetings through inception and expansion of both trail systems. STEP II: PROJECT PLANNING & DESIGN The Shelby County Greenline and the Wolf River Greenway were incorporated into the Memphis MPO’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and The Mid-South Regional Greenprint’s Sustainability and Vision Plan. The Greenprint was awarded a HUD Regional Planning Grant to create a unified regional vision for a network of regional green spaces that improves the regional quality of life. STEP III: PROJECT FUNDING AND IMPLEMENTATION • The Shelby Farms Park and Wolf River Conservancies are both 501(c)3 non-profit organizations that operate through donations from both public and private donors. These organizations maintain and operate their respective trail systems. • Future plans for the Wolf River Greenway aim to extend the trail system 30 miles to connect neighborhoods from downtown Memphis through the cities of Germantown and Collierville to neighboring Fayette County, Tennessee. WOLF RIVER GREENWAY FUNDING - Wolf River Greenway has received or been appropriated $8,663,540 - City of Memphis has invested Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Funds totaling $3.7 million - Wolf River Conservancy has spent $663,000 - City of Memphis has appropriated CIP Funds of $2.2 million for future segments - Project has received $1,731,409 in Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) funding for 2014-2017 - Project has received $339,131 in Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) funding for 2014-2015 SHELBY FARMS GREENLINE FUNDING - Shelby Farms Greenline has received $7 million for acquisition of land and construction - $4.5 million for acquisition through private funds - $750,000 for construction through county funds - $1.5 million for construction through federal funds - $250,000 for construction through private funds To date, the Wolf River Greenway and Shelby Farms Greenline have received $15,633,540 for land acquisition, construction, and maintenance of the trail systems. Best Practices Case Studies Series Tennessee Department of Transportation Long Range Planning Division BENEFITS COMMUNITY CONNECTIVITY: GREENWAYS AND TRAILS Land Use and Transportation integration is vital in coordinating Tennessee’s transportation planning and investment with local land use decisions and community visions. This integration helps guide the development of a safe and efficient statewide transportation system. TDOT’s Long Range Planning Division and Office of Community Transportation interact with local community leaders to gain a better understanding of local communities’ interests, activities, and the various comprehensive transportation planning documents and policies that are in place. By having a better understanding of local land use plans and decisions, TDOT can make more informed decisions about the state’s transportation investments, creating a more efficient and effective network for Tennesseans. Benefits of integrated land use and transportation include: Information for this drawing was derived from the Wolf River Greenway Master Plan developed by The Greenway • Enhanced economic growth and Bartlett Team / Urban Edges Inc and Lakeland DHM Design - October 2010 *** This map was prepared by the Wolf River Conservancy 08/27/2013 *** Epping Way r Memphis r Proposed e competitiveness e «¬H ¬ Nature Center v « v e i i R R i i p p «¬B p p «¬F «¬I i • Increased mobility and transportation i ¬ s « s A «¬C «¬G «¬E s s i i s s s s «¬D i i «¬J 2.5 mi (+/-) Greenway Phases M choices M Greenline Extension Chelsea Greenline 4.3 mi (+/-) e lin een Cordova Train Depot Gr Overton-Broad & E .! • Ensured effective use of infrastructure and V Connector «¬K ) +/- mi ( 6.5 nline s Gree y Farm Shelby Farms Park Shelb government funding Harahan Bridge «¬L W o lf Ri v e • Expanded community redevelopment r Gree nway options including desired amenities Memphis Symbols Legend Existing Wolf River Greenway • Lowered emissions Proposed Wolf River Greenway Alternative Transportation Network Land Ownership Legend Existing Greenway/Trail Memphis / Shelby County Existing Bike Lane State of TN Germantown Collierville • Safer and healthier communities Existing Dirt Trail Collierville Wolf River Greenway Proposed Greenway/Trail Germantown MS River Trail From the Mississippi River to Fayette County Wolf River Conservancy 0 0.5 1 2 3 4 • Improved quality of life for all Tennesseans Trolley Line WRC Conservation Easement Miles ® Sources: Esri, DeLorme, NAVTEQ, USGS, Intermap, iPC, NRCAN, Esri Japan, METI, Esri China (Hong Kong), Esri (Thailand), TomTom, 2013 Greenways are important because they are an active mode of transportation that provide safe connections for people walking and riding bicycles. They provide more eyes on the street which create a safer, healthier, and friendlier community. Greenways provide easy access to open space and function as linear parks while creating streets that are pleasant places. Greenways and trails provide communities with more connections and more choices.

  • November 30, 2018 Don Jones Shelby County Office of Planning
    November 30, 2018 Don Jones Shelby County Office of Planning and Design 125 N Main St Memphis, TN 38103 RE: PD 18-42 Nutbush/Wells Station Landfill Dear Mr. Jones, Wolf River Conservancy is dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of the Wolf River and its watershed for the benefit of the public. Wolf River Conservancy opposes this landfill. The City of Memphis, Shelby County, and nonprofit organizations work daily to improve quality of life of residents and restore the floodplain. This landfill project potentially harms Memphis’ drinking water source, quality of life, and protection from flooding. Additionally, this construction and demolition (C&D) landfill creates blight for years to come, visible to thousands each day along I-40. Below are important reasons that this landfill should not be approved. Page numbers are in reference to the publicly accessible pdf of the PD 18-42 application. 1. Wetlands: the property contains 24 acres of jurisdictional wetlands (National Wetlands Inventory; also see enclosed wetlands map). These scenic and highly functioning wetlands in the Wolf River floodplain provide habitat and a natural buffer to the neighbors. Excavating 15 ft down (page 5, D.1.c.) on the site will fundamentally damage the wetland function. Wetland soils and the underlying silt and sand are not stable soils on which to build upon and are known to liquify in the earthquakes the Memphis area has. Wetlands are not suitable for C&D landfill sites and this landfill should not be approved. 2. Aquifer recharge: along the Wolf River, wetlands like these are known to recharge the Memphis Sand Aquifer.

Wetlands occur in depressed land areas called basins that are natural a result of land topography or are designed by man, created to house organisms while working as a greenway for improved human health conditions and pollution controls. Trees grow where the ground is wet part of the year and as the ground dries, new life enters and co-exist within a cycle of seasonal rainfall conditions. All wetlands are imperative for the filtration processes working to decrease toxins and chemical pollution found on both land and in water. Wetlands serve as a pollution interception, toxic residue processing and removal of waste. Wetlands are also used for recreational, aesthetics, and educational purposes and provide homes called habitats for many diverse species of organisms. The flora and fauna thrive and adapt within a wetland environment that consist by seasonal conditions produced by weather conditions of dryness and wetness and are associated with storm and rainwater runoff, drainage, pond, river, and pool overflows, man- induced water channeling, flooding and some processes associated with drainage waste collection and disposal.

  • 2018 Stormwater Monitoring Plan Unincorporated Shelby County, Tennessee May 1, 2018
    2018 Stormwater Monitoring Plan Unincorporated Shelby County, Tennessee May 1, 2018 The Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) encompassed by unincorporated Shelby County, Tennessee (Tracking No. TNS075663) includes portions of four (4) distinct HUC_8 Watersheds, as shown on Figure 1. These watersheds include the following: 1. The Loosahatchie River Watershed (HUC_8 08010209) 2. the Wolf River Watershed (HUC_8 08010210) 3. the Nonconnah Creek Watershed (HUC_8 08010211), and 4. the Mississippi River Watershed (HUC_8 08010100) Figure 1 HUC_8 Watersheds Shelby County, Tennessee The land uses present in each of these watersheds are extremely diverse, including agricultural/pastures, woodlands, both low and high density residential, and commercial/industrial. In addition to the various land uses encountered within the Shelby County MS4, a large percentage of the runoff in the watersheds can be attributed to MS4’s belonging to other government entities. The Loosahatchie River Watershed receives runoff from Fayette County and Tipton County in Tennessee, Naval Support Activities Mid South, and from the municipalities of Memphis, Arlington, Lakeland, Bartlett and Millington, TN. The Wolf River Watershed receives runoff from Fayette County, TN, northern Mississippi, and from the municipalities of Memphis, Bartlett, Lakeland, Germantown, and Collierville, TN. The Nonconnah Creek Watershed receives runoff from Fayette County, TN, from Marshall and Desoto 2018 Stormwater Monitoring Plan Unincorporated Shelby County, Tennessee Counties in Mississippi, from the municipalities of Germantown, and Collierville, TN. The Mississippi River Watershed receives runoff from the eastern floodplain of the Mississippi River from the southwest corner of Shelby County, TN to the confluence of the Ohio River at Cairo, IL.

  • Effects of Headcutting on the Bottomland Hardwood Wetlands Adjacent to the Wolf River, Tennessee by Karen Weins and Thomas H
    ERDC TN-WRP-HS-CP-2.1 February 2003 Effects of Headcutting on the Bottomland Hardwood Wetlands Adjacent to the Wolf River, Tennessee by Karen Weins and Thomas H. Roberts PURPOSE: The Wolf River in western Tennessee has experienced severe channel erosion in the form of headcutting and downcutting that has extended 17 km upstream from the location at which channelization ceased in 1964 (Figure 1). Due to wider and deeper channel dimensions in this reach, the river no longer inundates the floodplain. This technical note describes a study to determine how this hydrologic change has affected the bottomland hardwood (BLH) wetlands adjacent to the Wolf River. Specific objectives were to compare shallow groundwater levels, herbaceous community composition, and growth patterns of Quercus phellos L. in wetlands adjacent to headcut and reference portions of the channel. This study also will provide quantitative baseline data for further research and for monitoring the progress or success of any future restoration programs. Figure 1. Headcutting on the Wolf River, Tennessee BACKGROUND: Riparian BLH forests and southern deepwater swamps constitute the most extensive classes of wetlands in the United States (Mitsch and Gosselink 1993). The largest concentration of these wetlands is located along the Lower Mississippi Valley (LMV) from southern Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico (Newling 1998). BLH wetlands are currently threatened by human expansion in nearly every location that they occur (Shankman 1999). More than 75 percent of the historic BLH wetlands in the LMV have been lost (Dahl 1990). 1 ERDC TN-WRP-HS-CP-2.1 February 2003 These wetlands perform many functions, including storing and slowing surface water flows, providing nutrients to the floodplain through deposition of particulates and organic matter, exporting minerals and nutrients to in-stream and downstream systems, and providing habitat for many plant and animal species (Mitsch and Gosselink 1993; Wilder and Roberts 2002).
