    Tmdl Implementation Plan

    STATE OF GEORGIA TMDL IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Prepared by The Georgia Department of Natural Resources Environmental Protection Division Atlanta, GA Introduction TMDL Implementation Plans are not required for the segments discussed below because Georgia Environmental Protection Division (Georgia EPD) has delisted them, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has rescinded them, or the United States District Court for the Northern District Court of Georgia, Atlanta Division has vacated the order to establish them. Delisted Segments EPA requires Georgia EPD to demonstrate good cause for not including stream segment on the Section 303(d) list. Good cause includes, but is not limited to, more recent and accurate data, more sophisticated water quality modeling, flaws in the original analysis that led to the waterbody being listed or changes in conditions, e.g. new control equipment, or elimination of discharges. In its Draft 2002 Section 303(d) listing proposal Georgia EPD submitted good cause justification to EPA to delist the stream segments listed below from its 2002 Section 303(d) list. Georgia EPD delisted stream segments using methodology from the Water Quality in Georgia 1998- 99 Report (305(b) report), Appendix A, and USEPA document Guidance for 303(b) listing. In considering all the data on the affected segments EPD concluded that water quality is being met and removed them from the 2002 Section 303(d) list. Therefore, no TMDL Implementation Plans are required for the following delisted segments. Waterbody Name Stream Location River Basin Pollutant 1.

    Okefenokee at a Glance The Okefenokee Swamp is located in Ware, Charlton, and Clinch Counties, Georgia and Baker County, Florida. Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge was established by Executive Order in 1936. The Okefenokee Swamp covers 438,000 acres. It is 38 miles in length at its longest point by 25 miles in width at its widest point. The swamp is approximately 700 square miles. The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is over 402,000 acres. The wilderness area consists of 353,981 acres and was created by the Okefenokee Wilderness Act of 1974 which is part of the Wilderness Preservation System. Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is the largest National Wildlife Refuge in the eastern United States. It is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service which is under the Department of the Interior. The Okefenokee Swamp is approximately 7000 years old. It is a vast peat-filled bog inside a huge, saucer-shaped depression that was once part of the ocean floor. The elevation of the swamp varies. There is a 25 foot drop from the northwest side to the southwest side. The range in elevation is from 128 feet above sea level on the northeast side to 103 feet on the southwest side. The vegetative indicator of the natural swamp line is the presence of the saw palmetto. The Suwannee River is the principle outlet of the swamp. The Suwannee flows from the west side of the swamp and empties into the Gulf of Mexico near Cedar Key, Florida. The Suwannee River is 280 miles long. A small area of the southeastern part of the swamp is drained by the St.

    REVIEW AND APPROVALS OKEFENOKEE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE FOLKSTON, GEORGIA 0 ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1985 i .0 9 6 /wJ~ln /"Refuge Manager D Refuge Su rvisor Review Date Regional Office Review INTRODUCTION The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is situated in the southeastern Georgia counties of Ware, Charlton and Clinch and the northeastern Florida's Baker County . The refuge was established by Executive, Order in 1937 and consists presently of 395,858 _acres . The primary purpose of the refuge is to protect the ecological system of the 438,000-acre Okefenokee Swamp . Approximately 371,000 acres of the Okefenokee Swamp are incorporated into the refuge, and 353,981 acres within the swamp were designated as wilderness by the Okefenokee Wilder- ness Act of 1974 . The refuge headquarters is located at Camp Cornelia, which is 11 miles southwest of Folkston, Georgia . Okefenokee's natural beauty was first threatened in the 1890's when attempts were made to drain the swamp to facilitate log- ging operations . The Suwannee Canal was dug 11 .5 miles into the swamp from Camp Cornelia . After the failure of this pro- ject, known as "Jackson's Folly," other interests acquired the swamp and began removing timber in 1909, using a network of tramroads extending deep into the major timbered areas . When logging operationswere halted in 1927, over 423 million board feet of timber, most of it cypress, had been removed from the swamp . The establishment of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge on March 30, 1937 marked the culmination of a movement that had been initiated at least 25 years earlier by a group of scien- tists from Cornell University who recognized the educational, scientific, and recreational values of this unique area .
