Appendix B ii Executive Summary HOUSTON LEVEE ROAD / CENTER HILL ROAD ALTERNATIVES STUDY 1. Introduction This study was undertaken to consider the need for and feasibility of extending Houston Levee Road southward from Shelby Drive (SR 175) in Shelby County to Goodman Road (MS 302) in DeSoto County. As part of the feasibility study, Preliminary Alignments were prepared and evaluated. This was done so that the study would simultaneously serve as a Location Study of potential routes for the proposed facility. The study area is shown in Figure S.1. Study Area South of the intersection of Houston Levee Road with Shelby Drive there is an area of mixed residential and agricultural uses that stretches south to the Coldwater River. The study area is bounded on the north by Shelby Drive and on the south by Goodman Road. The western boundary of the study area is the vicinity of Center Hill Road. The eastern boundary was originally stated as the DeSoto-Marshall County line. After consideration, this was changed to include the first section in Marshall County.

    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 2018 Green Camp Paper
    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
    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.

  • Green Infrastructure in the Mid-South Recommendations for Implementing and Financing Green Infrastructure Elements of the Mid-South Regional Greenprint Vision Plan
    Green Infrastructure in the Mid-South Recommendations for Implementing and Financing Green Infrastructure Elements of the Mid-South Regional Greenprint Vision Plan Prepared by Environmental Finance Center Network for Memphis and Shelby County Government Office of Sustainability Sustainable Communities Learning Network | June 2014 Report background This report was developed by the Environmental Finance Center Network (EFCN) through the Capacity Building for Sustainable Communities program funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and the US Environmental Protection Agency. EFCN is a national partnership of ten public universities funded in part by EPA and specializing in the questions of how to pay for environmental compliance and improvement. As a member of the Sustainable Communities Learning Network, EFCN is providing technical assistance to recipients of grants from the federal Partnership for Sustainable Communities. The report was prepared by request of the Memphis and Shelby County Government Office of Sustainability, which in 2011 was awarded a Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant to develop the Mid-South Regional Greenprint & Sustainability Plan. This Plan is designed to enhance regional livability and sustainability by establishing a unified vision for a region-wide network of green space areas, or Greenprint, which addresses long-term housing and land use, resource conservation, environmental protection, accessibility, community health and wellness, transportation alternatives, economic development, neighborhood engagement, and social equity in the Greater Memphis Area. Shelby County requested guidance from EFCN on financing and implementing the green infrastructure or low-impact development elements of the Greenprint Vision, so that the region can enhance water quality while simultaneously extending its network of trails for recreation, active transportation, public health, and other community benefits.
