  • The Len Foote Hike Inn in Dawsonville
    Georgia’s 2019 CLEAN WATER HEROES The Len Foote Hike Inn GEORGIA’S MOUNTAIN STREAMS Mountain-top Lodge Spreads Message of Sustainability INTRODUCTION: From its opening in 1998, the Len Foote Hike Inn was intended to serve as sustainability and environmental education showplace for Georgia’s State Parks. More than 20 years and some 200,000 visitors later, as the children of the Inn’s first visitors bring their children to the mountain getaway, that showplace is paying dividends—for state parks and the future of the state. Through LEN FOOTE sustainability projects ranging from composting toilets to solar power and HIKE INN educational programs that introduce guests to practices they can use in their own homes to lessen their environmental footprint, The Hike Inn spreads the gospel of sustainability. But, Inn visitors have to work to hear the gospel. The only way to stay at this 20-room mountain-top lodge is to “hike in” on a five- mile trail from Amicalola Falls State Park in Dawson County. THE WATER BODY: Situated high in the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Len Foote Hike Inn sits on a ridge between Cochrans and Nimblewill creeks, pristine trout streams that feed the Etowah River which supplies about 68 million gallons of drinking water to metro Atlanta communites daily—about 13 percent of the region’s water. The construction and design of the Len Foote Hike Inn and the sustainability practices implemented at the backcountry lodge protect these sensitive mountain streams and contribute to cleaner, higher quality water for downstream users. THE CLEAN: From its initial design and construction in the late 1990s to the Inn’s current efforts to expand its sustainability practices, The Hike Inn has served as a model for smart construction and innovative sustainability practices.

  • From the Field March - May 2011
    vol. 76 • 1 – 2 THE ORIOLE 37 FROM THE FIELD MARCH - MAY 2011 Note: The appearance of observations in this section does not suggest verification or acceptance of a record. Observations of “Review Species” need to be documented and a rare bird report submitted to the Georgia Checklist and Records Committee (GCRC) for consideration. Temperatures throughout the period remained slightly above average, with some notable extremes including a record March temperature of 90 ºF in Brunswick on the 22nd, the lowest May temperature since 1945 of 37 ºF in Athens on the 5th, and a record May high of 104 ºF in Waycross on the 23rd. Precipitation was equally variable across the state, with the north receiving 200-300% of the average rainfall for March and April, less than 25% of the average in the east for April, and less than 10% of the norm in the southwest. It was a record season for tornadoes, causing widespread damage, power outages, and at least 35 deaths. The storm system on 26-28 April may have been responsible for the appearance of a late inland White-winged Scoter in Columbus, and a string of interesting sightings at Lake Lanier including 2 Pacific Loons, a Laughing Gull, and 2 Caspian Terns.

    Sent via email to Bill Towson at [email protected] on December 10, 2018. TO: Georgia Department of Community Affairs, 2018 International Plumbing Code Task Force DATE: December 10, 2018 RE: Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code on Plumbing Fixture Water Efficiency Dear Department of Community Affairs, As a steadfast advocate for sustainable building practices and responsible resource use, Southface recognizes the importance of advancing water efficiency standards in Georgia. We write to express our strong support of the proposed amendment to the 2018 International Plumbing Code (IPC) submitted by the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District (MNGWPD) on October 30, 2018. Given currently available technologies, MNGWPD’s recommendations are reasonable advancements in water efficiency standards, and it is our understanding that the resulting water, energy, and financial savings will be significant. The proposed further-reduced flow rates for showerheads, (private) lavatory faucets, and kitchen faucets will save consumers money and continue to conserve our state’s limited water resources. As Georgia’s population continues to grow, conserving water will be of increasing importance to our economy and quality of life. In addition, saving water is vitally important to Georgia’s efforts to conserve energy. Energy generated by power plants across the state is used to clean, treat, and distribute water to our homes and businesses. Electricity and gas are used to heat water in our homes and businesses for everyday use. As described in Attachment C of the Code Amendment Form submitted by MNGWPD there will be significant financial savings to home and business owners as a result of the reduced energy and water use achieved.
