  • Cities of Fairburn, Palmetto, and Union City Draft Surface Water Withdrawal Permit Response to Comments July 23, 2020
    Cities of Fairburn, Palmetto, and Union City Draft Surface Water Withdrawal Permit Response to Comments July 23, 2020 Atlanta Comment 1: Atlanta is particularly concerned with EPD’s apparent acceptance of the South Fulton Cities characterization of the underlying facts, including the reasons underlying the South Fulton Cities’ rejection of Atlanta’s existing, fully-permitted water capacity to provide the needed wholesale water supply to the South Fulton Cities. Atlanta has provided wholesale water to Fairburn and Union City since 1957 and has continued to do so despite Fairburn and Union City’s unwillingness to enter into a long term contract. Despite the South Fulton Cities’ protestations otherwise, this water supply is available and Atlanta remains willing and able to enter into a long term water supply contract with the South Fulton Cities. As such, this Permit should be denied. Response to Atlanta Comment 1: The absence of a long-term contract between the City of Atlanta and the Cities of Fairburn, Palmetto, and Union City (South Fulton Cities) has been considered by EPD in its review of the water withdrawal application by the South Fulton Cities. The fact that these cities and their citizens are without the benefit and guarantee of a long-term water supply contract weighs in EPD’s assessment and decision-making. EPD does not have the legal authority to determine, and therefore does not take a position on, who bears the responsibility of the lack of a contract. Under the 1999 Fulton County Service Delivery Strategy (SDS), the South Fulton Cities are designated water supply providers to citizens residing inside the cities’ geographic areas.

  • STURGEON HABITAT QUANTIFIED by SIDE-SCAN SONAR IMAGERY By
    STURGEON HABITAT QUANTIFIED BY SIDE-SCAN SONAR IMAGERY by JOHN DAVID HOOK (Under the Direction of Nathan P. Nibbelink and Douglas L. Peterson) ABSTRACT The assessment and monitoring of freshwater habitats is essential to the successful management of imperiled fishes. Recent introduction of recreational multi-beam and side-scan sonar equipment allows rapid, low cost acquisition of bathymetric data and substrate imagery in navigable waters. However, utilization of this data is hindered by a lack of established protocols for processing and classification. I surveyed 298 km of the Ogeechee River, Georgia using low-cost recreational-grade side-scan and bathymetric sonar. I assessed classification accuracy of three approaches to working with recreational- grade sonar and quantified potential spawning grounds for Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus oxyrinchus). I demonstrate that ecologically relevant habitat variables can be derived from low-cost sonar imagery at low levels of processing effort.

  • A Recommended Method to Protect Instream Flows in Georgia
    A Recommended Method to Protect Instream Flows in Georgia by James W. Evans and Russell H. England Georgia Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Division Social Circle, Georgia December 1995 This study was funded in part with funds obtained through the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act. Your purchase of fishing equipment and motor boat fuels supports Sport Fish Restoration and boating access facilities The Georgia Department of Natural Resources receives Federal Aid in Sport Fish and Wildlife Restoration. Under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the U.

If you believe that you have been discriminated against in any program, activity, or facility as described above, or if you desire further information please write to: The Office for Human Resources U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service 4040 N. Fairfax Drive Room 300 Arlington, Virginia 22203 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The increasing demand for water to support Georgia's growing human population creates significant challenges for natural resource managers responsible for protecting the state's fish and wildlife. Heavy dependence on surface water supplies for municipalities, industry, and agriculture has severely depleted and/or altered natural stream flows, adversely impacting aquatic habitat. Georgia's present policy protects stream flow from being depleted below the 7Q10 flow (a ten-year frequency drought event), but there is an overwhelming consensus among aquatic resource managers that higher flows are necessary to support the fish and wildlife, recreation, and aesthetics that Georgia’s citizens expect from their natural environment.

  • Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards ( 1) Purpose. The establishment of water quality standards. (2) W ate r Quality Enhancement: (a) The purposes and intent of the State in establishing Water Quality Standards are to provide enhancement of water quality and prevention of pollution; to protect the public health or welfare in accordance with the public interest for drinking water supplies, conservation of fish, wildlife and other beneficial aquatic life, and agricultural, industrial, recreational, and other reasonable and necessary uses and to maintain and improve the biological integrity of the waters of the State. ( b) The following paragraphs describe the three tiers of the State's waters. (i) Tier 1 - Existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing uses shall be maintained and protected. (ii) Tier 2 - Where the quality of the waters exceed levels necessary to support propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water, that quality shall be maintained and protected unless the division finds, after full satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation provisions of the division's continuing planning process, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located.
