  • 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.

    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.

  • Quick Reference Fact Sheet
    Okefenokee at a Glance The Okefenokee Swamp is located in Ware, Charlton, and Clinch Counties, Georgia and Baker County, Florida. Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge was established by Executive Order in 1936. The Okefenokee Swamp covers 438,000 acres. It is 38 miles in length at its longest point by 25 miles in width at its widest point. The swamp is approximately 700 square miles. The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is over 402,000 acres. The wilderness area consists of 353,981 acres and was created by the Okefenokee Wilderness Act of 1974 which is part of the Wilderness Preservation System. Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is the largest National Wildlife Refuge in the eastern United States. It is administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service which is under the Department of the Interior. The Okefenokee Swamp is approximately 7000 years old. It is a vast peat-filled bog inside a huge, saucer-shaped depression that was once part of the ocean floor. The elevation of the swamp varies. There is a 25 foot drop from the northwest side to the southwest side. The range in elevation is from 128 feet above sea level on the northeast side to 103 feet on the southwest side. The vegetative indicator of the natural swamp line is the presence of the saw palmetto. The Suwannee River is the principle outlet of the swamp. The Suwannee flows from the west side of the swamp and empties into the Gulf of Mexico near Cedar Key, Florida. The Suwannee River is 280 miles long. A small area of the southeastern part of the swamp is drained by the St.

    REVIEW AND APPROVALS OKEFENOKEE NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE FOLKSTON, GEORGIA 0 ANNUAL NARRATIVE REPORT Calendar Year 1985 i .0 9 6 /wJ~ln /"Refuge Manager D Refuge Su rvisor Review Date Regional Office Review INTRODUCTION The Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge is situated in the southeastern Georgia counties of Ware, Charlton and Clinch and the northeastern Florida's Baker County . The refuge was established by Executive, Order in 1937 and consists presently of 395,858 _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 are incorporated into the refuge, and 353,981 acres within the swamp were designated as wilderness by the Okefenokee Wilder- ness Act of 1974 . The refuge headquarters is located at Camp Cornelia, which is 11 miles southwest of Folkston, Georgia . Okefenokee's natural beauty was first threatened in the 1890's when attempts were made to drain the swamp to facilitate log- ging operations . The Suwannee Canal was dug 11 .5 miles into the swamp from Camp Cornelia . After the failure of this pro- ject, 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 operationswere halted in 1927, over 423 million board feet of timber, most of it cypress, had been removed from the swamp . The establishment of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge on March 30, 1937 marked the culmination of a movement that had been initiated at least 25 years earlier by a group of scien- tists from Cornell University who recognized the educational, scientific, and recreational values of this unique area .
