CAESER will present their full aquifer study at the end of the month

View Comments
A lead scientist of a study looking at breaches between the Memphis Sand aquifer and the shallow water aquifer above it said that the full findings will be released and presented by the end of the month.
After presenting the current findings to the Memphis City Council Tuesday, Dr. Brian Waldron — one of the scientists involved with the study — said that the final findings of the research will be released by the end of June. This will tee up the council to hear the full findings as they return for the third reading of an ordinance to regulate pipelines in the city on July 6.

Tennessee Valley Authority called study into coal ash at Memphis plant speculative Memphis aquifer

CAESER concluded that a connection exists between a shallow aquifer and the Memphis Sand aquifer in what is known as the Davis wellfield. That wellfield is one of several stations where MLGW pumps the area's drinking water out of the Memphis Sand aquifer.
"A hydrologic connection between the Horn Lake Cutoff channel and MRVA [shallow] aquifer exists and creates a pathway for runoff from the TVA Allen Former Fossil Fuel Plant to affect the water quality of the Davis wellfield," CAESER's report concluded.
TVA disputed that surface water runs along with the Horn Lake cutoff from the Allen Fossil Plant and its two coal ash ponds to the Davis wellfield. The Horn Lake cutoff is a stream that runs from T.O. Fuller State Park to the Davis Wellfield.

The 901: Reimagining Shelby County Schools, welcoming a new police chief

Good Tuesday morning Memphis, where we're learning more about the newly named police chief and awaiting a pivotal vote in Memphis City Council on the controversial Byhalia Connection pipeline.
But first, we're starting with big plans at Shelby County Schools, announced yesterday by Superintendent Joris Ray.
SCS wants to "reimagine" its footprint in Shelby County with a plan that proposes building five new schools and closing about 13 to 15 others, mostly through consolidation. The plan proposes additions to at least 13 existing schools, our Laura Testino reports.
Unveiled for the first time in a presentation to district board members Monday, the plan includes phases of work to take place over the next 10 years, through 2031. Capital projects require funding and approval from the county commission, which is scheduled to see the plan during a meeting Wednesday.

Southern Environmental Law Center's Statement in Response to U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Verifying the Byhalia Pipeline Qualifies for Nationwide Permit 12

SELC & Concerned Citizen Groups Statement in Response to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers Verifying that the Byhalia Pipeline Qualifies for Nationwide Permit 12
MEMPHIS, TN—The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), Memphis Community Against the Pipeline, Protect Our Aquifer and Tennessee Chapter of the Sierra Club released the following statement in response to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers decision to verify that the Byhalia pipeline can proceed under Nationwide Permit 12. The pipeline proposed by Valero Energy Corp. and Plains All American Pipeline L.P. would cut through several Black neighborhoods and the municipal wellfield that provides their drinking water, which is drawn from the Memphis Sand Aquifer.

Groups urge Memphis water utility to protect wellfield and aquifer from oil pipeline threat

The letter, sent by SELC, Protect Our Aquifer, Tennessee Chapter of the Sierra Club and Memphis Community Against the Pipeline, follows a letter the same groups sent to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requesting that the agency deny a request for a permit for the pipeline.
The Memphis Sand aquifer supplies Memphis and Shelby County with clean, reliable drinking water — the largest metropolitan area in the United States that relies exclusively on groundwater for its municipal water supply, according to the letter.
The proposed Byhalia Pipeline would cross the Davis Wellfield, which MLGW uses to supply drinking water to several residential areas in southwest Memphis. The high-pressure pipeline would also cross Wellhead Protection Zone 2 and pass near numerous Source Water Protection Areas in Northern Mississippi.
