Hazard Mitigation Plan City of Forest Hills, Tennessee Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Prepared by AMEC Environment and Infrastructure Hazard Mitigation and Emergency Management Program Nashville, Tennessee DRAFT City of Forest Hills, Tennessee Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan DRAFT Prepared by AMEC Environment & Infrastructure Hazard Mitigation and Emergency Management Program Nashville, Tennessee EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of natural hazards mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards. The City of Forest Hills developed this multi-hazard mitigation plan to reduce future losses to the City resulting from natural hazards. The plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 and to achieve eligibility for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Assistance (HMA) programs. The City’s planning process followed a methodology prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a Hazard Mitigation Planning Committee (HMPC) comprised of key stakeholders from the City of Forest Hill, in addition to local, state and federal agencies. The HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the City of Forest Hills, assessed the City’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The City is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Thunderstorms (hail/high winds/lightning), tornadoes, and winter storms are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the City. Based upon the risk assessment, the HMPC identified goals and objectives for reducing risk to natural hazards. The goals of this multi-hazard mitigation plan are to: Goal 1: Reduce the risk of natural hazards to the people, property, and environment of the City of Forest Hills Goal 2: Improve the capabilities of the City of Forest Hills to mitigate natural hazards and reduce exposure Goal 3: Promote effective training and educational opportunities regarding natural hazards and risk Goal 4: Implement the mitigation actions identified in the Local Hazard Mitigation Plan To meet identified goals and objectives, the plan recommends 15 mitigation actions, which are summarized in the table on the following page. The HMPC also developed an implementation plan for each action, which identifies priority level, background information, ideas for implementation, responsible agency, timeline, cost estimate, potential funding sources, and more. The multi-hazard mitigation plan has been formally adopted by the City of Forest Hills Board of Commissioners and will be updated within a five-year timeframe.

  • A HISTORY of RAVENSWOOD Excerpt from the Bugle, a Publication of the Brentwood Historical Society August 2011 by Preston Bain
    A HISTORY OF RAVENSWOOD Excerpt from The Bugle, a publication of the Brentwood Historical Society August 2011 By Preston Bain Thomas Wilson immigrated to America from Ireland in the mid 1700’s and followed the migration trail down through Virginia and the Carolinas and finally over into Tennessee where he settled in the late 1700’s. His grandson, James Hazard Wilson II, who built Ravenswood was born in 1800 and would be one of several children by James Hazard Wilson, Sr. and Ruth Davidson Wilson. James II grew up in Williamson County and chose to remain here and start a family while his brother, Samuel, moved west to Texas and became one of the first Secretaries of State after it’s admission to the Union in 1845. In March of 1821, James Hazard Wilson II married his cousin Emeline Wilson. Prominent Tennessee and Texas historical figure Sam Houston served as the best man at his wedding. James and Emeline would settle in Brentwood and build their home in 1825. The home was christened Ravenswood in honor of their friend Sam Houston whose Cherokee Indian name was “the Raven”, most likely due to the jet black hair of his youth. Sam Houston ran away from home when he turned 16 and went to live with the Cherokee Indians near the Hiawassee River. The tribal chief became a father figure to Sam and gave him the Cherokee name Colonneh, meaning "the Raven”. Sam lived with the Cherokee for about 3 years before returning home to Maryville, TN and enlisting to fight in the War of 1812.

Fullerton Laboratory for Spatial Technology Department of Geosciences Middle Tennessee State University Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37132 615-898-2726 GPS Mapping of Stone Fences in Forest Hills Management Summary During the summer of 2007, the staff of the R.O. Fullerton Laboratory for Spatial Technology at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) mapped the locations of stone fences in the City of Forest Hills, a small residential city in south-central Davidson County, Tennessee. The mapping project was initiated at the request of Forest Hills Commissioner William Coke with the objective of developing a spatial database of stone fence locations that could be used in municipal land use and development planning as well as conservation of this landscape feature. A differentially-corrected GPS unit was used to map location coordinates with a high degree of accuracy. The precision of the GPS-collected data was verified using high resolution color aerial imagery. The aerial imagery was also used to identify possible locations of other stone fence remnants. The geospatial survey mapped 21,960.06 linear feet (4.16 miles) of stone fence segments. This total includes the previously-recorded segments inventoried in 2001 (Allen 2001) plus an additional 6,082.25 linear feet (1.15 miles) of stone fence segments recorded subsequent to the 2001 inventory, including a previously-unrecorded fence identified from color orthophoto imagery and verified by field-checking.

Army Corps of Engineers Definition of “Water of the United States” Attention: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency provides the following comments and recommendations regarding the EPNCOE proposal to change the accepted and customary definition of “Waters of the United States” to remove Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) protection for isolated wetlands and non-navigable streams. Removal of CWA protection for isolated wetlands and non-navigable streams would drastically change more than three decades of progress toward restoring and protecting waters of the United States. This would be a significant retreat from the goals of the CWA and should be addressed through preparation of a comprehensive evaluation of the consequences. 0 Consideration should be given to amending the CWA to insure the definition of “Waters of the United States” is consistent with the customary and accepted usage of the term as The State of Tennessee AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ,­ established since passage of the CWA. e Removal of federal CWS protection for isolated wetlands effectively abandons the long- standing national policy of “no overall net loss” of wetlands. The national goal of conservation and protection of wetlands resources is based on appreciation for the benefits derived, including water quality and quantity, flood control, waterfowl, and sustained biological diversity.

Speer EXPLANATION This index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the Ohio River basin for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to .September 30, 1955. Periods'of record for the same station published by other agencies are listed only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in pub­ lications of the Geological Survey. The stations are listed in the downstream order first adopted for use in the 1951 series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States. Starting at the headwater of each stream all stations are listed in a downstream direction. Tributary streams are indicated by indention and are inserted between main-stem stations in the order in which they entey the main stream. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a record is available and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of stations represents one rank.
