This site is along the Maumee River, within the Bullerman Ditch Subwatershed. The land surrounding this 57 acre plat, spanning over 7 Allen County Indiana parcels. Historically known as M&M Landfill. There was a signed 3-year agreement with owner, Gerald Martin. The tree plantings are no closer than 5’ from top of bank outward along the main stem of the Maumee River, upon legal specification maps prepared in July 2020, by Dan Ernst at Earth Source.
Planting of 550 trees will took place at the 3-day public event October 16, 17, 18, 2020. Project received a Floodplain Development Permit on June 22, 2020 by the New Haven Indiana Planning Office.
Due to the location of the tree planting, we needed to do an extensive approval process. Approximately 8.16 acres is a freshwater forested wetland, and all of the plating area lies within a floodway. 11 (of the 57 acres) is a capped landfill hill, and the reason that IDEM is involved. A list of notifications and correspondence is available.
Volunteers removed approximately 2,000lbs of historic trash from this site in 2020. Overgrowth was dense. Sign was placed in the most visible place near the parking lot to get to the tree planting, so people of all abilities are able to see it. This landfill property of 58 acres was donated to Save Maumee Grassroots Organization on December 21, 2020 by M&M Landfill, Jerry Martin.
