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.
