  • 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Protection Division (Georgia EPD) has delisted them, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has rescinded them, or the United States District Court for the Northern District Court of Georgia, Atlanta Division has vacated the order to establish them.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.

  • 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.
