  • 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.

    Bradley parker MEMPHIS STORM WATER GREEN CAMP 2018 “Water Quality Affect Upon Wildlife Populations found within Natural and Man-made Wetlands Located in the Memphis and Surrounding Areas” A ct the Wildlife WETLAND Exploration Week of June 11 - 15 SUMMER - 2018 “Does pollution and Water Quality Affect the Wildlife Populations found within both Natural, Man-made, and Channelized Wetlands found within the Memphis and Surrounding Areas?” Types of Wetlands: Natural and Man-made A wetland is one of several types of biomes found in areas having high humidity, may or may not contain large amounts of animal and plant life that is diverse and expresses characteristics adapted to the dryness and wetness of the habitats. 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. 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.

  • Wolf River Conservation Opportunity Area
    Wolf River Conservation Opportunity Area The Wolf River covers nearly 90 miles as it passes through Hardeman, Fayette, and Shelby Counties before emptying into the Mississippi River at Memphis. Meanders, sloughs, wetlands, and bottomland hardwood forests are characteristic of this river. The Wolf River is a significant component of the Mississippi River Alluvial Plain Ecoregion, which covers seven states in the lower Mississippi River Valley. The river and its sloughs provide excellent habitat for approximately 25 species of mussels, over 100 species of fish and numerous birds, reptiles, and amphibians including the Alligator Snapping Turtle.
