    Please take a moment to view this video of a serious problem at my front door. http://www.matchlessmedia.com/harborbg.htm
    The City of Memphis has delayed actions necessary to solve the problem and needs to be given stronger direction!

    Terry,

    Please look at the pictures and video of the refuse that's washed up
    from the Gayoso Discharge into the Wolf River and onto the banks of
    Harbor Town on Mud Island. It's always been bad but with the rains it's
    gotten to the point of downright disgusting. My wife and I live in
    Harbor Town, and we've seen industrial waste cans and medical waste
    washed up on the banks as well. Can your group do anything? Does the
    city or county have a permit for this sort of thing?

    One of our neighbors took video of the banks in Harbor Town in February.
    You can look at the video on www.matchlessmedia.com.

    Thanks,
    Bob

    4/9/08: TRT called complainant to discuss the clean up city of Memphis did yesterday and that a councilman indicated the trash barrier would be completed. He was not completely satisfied because much trash remains and he isn't confident the barrier will actually be built. He wants the state to require Mempis to consturct something to control the trash.
