  • 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.

  • 2017 Altamaha Regional Water Plan
    2017 REGIONAL WATER PLAN ALTAMAHA REGION BACKGROUND The Altamaha Regional Water Plan was initially completed in 2011 and subsequently updated in 2017. The plan outlines near-term and long-term Counties: Appling, Bleckley, strategies to meet water needs through 2050. The Altamaha River, formed Candler, Dodge, Emanuel, by the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers, is the major surface Evans, Jeff Davis, Johnson, water feature in the region. The Altamaha Region encompasses several Montgomery, Tattnall, Telfair, Toombs, Treutlen, Wayne, major population centers including Vidalia, Jesup, Swainsboro, Eastman, Wheeler, Wilcox and Glennville. OVERVIEW OF ALTAMAHA REGION The Altamaha Region includes 16 counties in the south central portion of Georgia. Over the next 35 years, the population of the region is projected to increase from approximately 256,000 to 285,000 residents. Key economic drivers in the region include agriculture, forestry, professional and business services, education, healthcare, manufacturing, public administration, fishing and hunting, and construction. KEY WATER RESOURCE ISSUES Groundwater (the majority from the Floridan aquifer) is forecasted to meet about 70% ADDRESSED BY THE COUNCIL of the water supply needs, with agricultural and industrial uses being the dominant 1. Current and future groundwater demand sectors. Surface water is utilized to meet about 30% of the forecasted water supplies for municipal/domestic, supply needs, with agriculture and energy as the dominant demand sectors. The industrial and agricultural water use energy sector is a major user of surface water from the Altamaha River. 2. Sufficient surface water quantity and quality to accommodate current and ALTAMAHA future surface water demands WATER 3. Low dissolved oxygen and other PLANNING water quality issues in streams during REGION periods of low flow 4.

  • Piedmont Ecoregion Aquatic Habitats
    Piedmont Ecoregion Aquatic Habitats Description and Location The piedmont ecoregion extends south of Blue Ridge to the fall line near Columbia, South Carolina and from the Savannah River east to the Pee Dee River. Encompassing 24 counties and 10,788 square miles, the piedmont is the largest physiographic province in South Carolina. The piedmont is an area with gently rolling hills dissected by narrow stream and river valleys. Forests, farms and orchards Pee Dee-Piedmont EDU dominate most of the land. Elevations Santee-Piedmont EDU Savannah-Piedmont EDU range from 375 to 1,000 feet. The Piedmont Ecoregion cuts across the top of three major South Carolina drainages, the Savannah, the Santee and the Pee Dee, forming three ecobasins: the Savannah-Piedmont, Santee-Piedmont and Pee Dee-Piedmont. Savannah-Piedmont Ecobasin The Savannah River drainage originates in the mountains of North Carolina and Georgia. The Savannah River flows southeast along the border of South Carolina and Georgia through the piedmont for approximately 131 miles on its way to the Atlantic Ocean. Major tributaries to the Savannah River in the South Carolina portion of this ecobasin include the Tugaloo River, Seneca River, Chauga River, Rocky River, Little River and Stevens Creek. The ecobasin encompasses 36 watersheds and approximately 2,879 square miles. The vast majority of the land is privately owned with only 239 square miles protected by federal, state and private entities. Most of the protected land (192 square miles) occurs in Sumter National Forest. The ecobasin contains 3,328 miles of lotic habitat with 143 square miles of impoundments.
