  • Birding at T. O. Fuller and Nearby Areas
    Birds of T. O. Fuller State Park 1500 Mitchell Road, Memphis, Tennessee 38109 / 901-543-7581 T.O. Fuller State Park occurs on a bluff overlooking the floodplain of the Mississippi River. Lying in the heart of the Mississippi Flyway, the park offers great opportunities to see migrating birds in the spring and fall. Look for warblers, vireos, thrushes and flycatchers along the eight miles of park trails and along forest edges. A new wildlife enhancement area containing four miles of paved trails is under development and will consist of floodplain wetlands, wildflower valleys, native grassy meadows, and upland ponds. The area has already attracted rare black-bellied whistling ducks, and nesting black-necked stilts. TO Fuller now has 140 species of birds observed. Responsible Birding - Do not endanger the welfare of birds. - Tread lightly and respect bird habitat. - Silence is golden. - Do not use electronic sound devices to attract birds during nesting season, May-July. - Take extra care when in a nesting area. - Always respect the law and the rights of others, violators subject to prosecution. - Do not trespass on private property. - Avoid pointing your binoculars at other people or their homes. - Limit group sizes in areas that are not conducive to large crowds.

  • 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 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.
