Wolf River Watershed to be severely impacted

July 27th, 2010 by Dana Wright

South Fayette County near Rossville is the proposed site for a major rail intermodal facility.  The state put on public notice a stream alteration proposal and a draft construction stormwater permit for Norfolk Southern.  The stream alterations include permanent impacts to approximately 4800 feet of unnamed tributaries to Wolf River as well as pond and wetland fills.  Due to the significance of these impacts, the state is hosting a public hearing in Collierville August 3.  Comments on these two permits are due no later than August 16.
