  • 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Protection Division (Georgia EPD) has delisted them, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has rescinded them, or the United States District Court for the Northern District Court of Georgia, Atlanta Division has vacated the order to establish them.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. Alapahoochee River Confluence of Mud and Grand Bay Cr. To Stateline Suwannee FCG(Hg) 2. Buck Creek Downstream Sylvania WPCP to Savannah River Savannah Cyanide, Zn, Tox 3.

  • A NATIONAL STRATEGY to RESTORE COASTAL and ESTUARINE HABITAT Dear Friend
    A NATIONAL STRATEGY TO RESTORE COASTAL AND ESTUARINE HABITAT Dear Friend, The rich interplay between the land and the sea creates one of America’s most valuable natural, economic, and cultural res o u r ces—its estuaries and coasts. In this unique nexus— characterized by the dynamic blending of salt and fresh water during tidal cycles—abundant life is created and nurtu re d . Estuaries nurtu r e not only shellfish, fish, and wildlife, but also nourish the human spirit. We ar e from the sea, and we are continually lured back to its edge, rei n f o r cing the kinship we sh a r e with this place as we sail, fish, swim, and relax near a glistening bay or a rocky shore. And yet, no place on earth more directly embodies the challenge of balancing human needs and the needs of other species than estuaries. By 2025, 75 percent of our population will live within 50 miles of the coast. We must learn how to develop our own habitat while also pro- tecting and restoring the very essence of what binds us to our coasts. Re s t o r e America’s Estuaries and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are pleased to present A National Strategy to Restore Coastal and Estuarine Habitat, and we are grateful to the scores of scientists, restoration practitioners, program managers, and others who contributed their expertise and insights. This National Strategy takes a major step to w a r d reclaiming losses of the past 200 years. We look forwa r d to continued collaboration as we move forwa r d and reinvest in our coastal and estuarine habitats.

  • Review and Approvals Okefenokee National
    s REVIEW AND APPROVALS OKEFENOKEE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE FOLKSTON, GEORGIA ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1993 ate INTRODUCTION The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is situated in the southeastern Georgia counties of Ware, Charlton and Clinch and northeastern Florida's Baker County . The refuge was established by Executive Order in 1937 and consists presently of 395,080 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 wetlands are incorporated into the refuge, and 353,981 acres within the swamp were designed as wilderness by the Okefenokee Wilderness Act of 1974 . In 1986, the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge was designated by the Wetlands Convention as a Wetland of International Importance . Okefenokee's natural beauty was first threatened in the 1890's, when attempts were made to drain the swamp to facilitate logging operations . The Suwannee Canal was dug 11 .5 miles into the swamp from Camp Cornelia . After the failure of this project, 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 operations were halted in 1927, over 423 million board feet of timber, mostly cypress, had been removed from the swamp . The establishment of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge on March 30, 1937 0 marked the culmination of a movement that had been initiated at least 25 years earlier by a group of scientists from Cornell University who recognized the education, scientific and recreational values of this unique area .
