  • 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.

Seaton, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Thomas B. Nolan, Director GEOLOGICAL SURVEY CIRCULAR 382 INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PART 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS By P. R. Speer and A. B. Goodwin Washington, D. C., 1956 Free on application to the Geological Survey, Washington 25, D. C. INDEX OF SURFACE-WATER RECORDS TO SEPTEMBER 30,1955 PAET 2. SOUTH ATLANTIC SLOPE AND EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO BASINS By P. R Speer and A. B. Goodwin EXPLANATION This index lists the streamflow and reservoir stations in the South Atlantic slope and Eastern Gulf of Mexico basins for which records have been or are to be published in reports of the Geological Survey for periods prior to September 30, 1955. Periods of record for the same station published by other agencies are listed only when they contain more detailed information or are for periods not reported in publications of the Geological Survey. The stations are listed in the downstream order first adopted for use in the 1951 series of water-supply papers on surface-water supply of the United States. Starting at the headwater of each stream all stations are listed in a downstream direction. Tributary streams are indicated by indention and are inserted between main-stem stations in the order in which they enter the main stream. To indicate the rank of any tributary on which a record is available and the stream to which it is immediately tributary, each indention in the listing of stations represents one rank.

  • 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.

    Environmental Management Chapter 335-6-11 DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT WATER DIVISION - WATER QUALITY PROGRAM ADMINISTRATIVE CODE CHAPTER 335-6-11 WATER USE CLASSIFICATIONS FOR INTERSTATE AND INTRASTATE WATERS TABLE OF CONTENTS 335-6-11-.01 The Use Classification System 335-6-11-.02 Use Classifications 335-6-11-.01 The Use Classification System. (1) Use classifications utilized by the State of Alabama are as follows: Outstanding Alabama Water ................... OAW Public Water Supply ......................... PWS Swimming and Other Whole Body Shellfish Harvesting ........................ SH Fish and Wildlife ........................... F&W Limited Warmwater Fishery ................... LWF Agricultural and Industrial Water Supply ................................ A&I (2) Use classifications apply water quality criteria adopted for particular uses based on existing utilization, uses reasonably expected in the future, and those uses not now possible because of correctable pollution but which could be made if the effects of pollution were controlled or eliminated. Of necessity, the assignment of use classifications must take into consideration the physical capability of waters to meet certain uses. (3) Those use classifications presently included in the standards are reviewed informally by the Department's staff as the need arises, and the entire standards package, to include the use classifications, receives a formal review at least once every three years. Efforts currently underway through local 201 planning projects will provide additional technical data on certain waterbodies in the State, information on treatment alternatives, and applicability of various management techniques, which, when available, will hopefully lead to new decisions regarding use classifications. Of particular interest are those segments which are currently classified for any usage which has an associated Supp.

  • July 28 – August 3, 2013
    Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division Field Operations Weekly Report July 28 – August 3, 2013 This report is a broad sampling of events that have taken place in the past week, but does not include all actions taken by the Law Enforcement Division. Region I- Calhoun (Northwest) BARTOW COUNTY On August 3rd, Cpl. Byron Young patrolled the Etowah River below Allatoona Lake. Cpl. Young checked 49 vessels/ canoes / kayaks, 27 tubers, and 6 fishing licenses. The DNR officer located 2 people fishing without a license and several tubers without Personal Flotation Devices (PFD’s – “life jackets”). Cpl. Young gave verbal guidance for most of the violations and handed out 2 PFD’s for use on the river. On August 3rd, Sgt. Mike Barr and RFC Brooks Varnell were on patrol on Allatoona Lake in the area of Bethany Bridge. They witnessed a pleasure boat go through the no- wake zone leaving a wake. Before the end of the area, the operator increased speed and started under higher power leaving a larger wake. The DNR officers activated their blue lights but did not get the boat stopped until the area in front of Park Marine. Once stopped, RFC Varnell explained the violation and checked the boat for safety equipment. During the check, RFC Varnell noticed the operator had slurred speech and glassy eyes. The operator admitted to drinking a few beers. RFC Varnell checked the man’s level of impairment through field sobriety exercises. He was arrested and charged with boating under the influence and failure to obey the regulatory markers (the no wake zone).
