  • 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.

    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).

  • GEORGIA's WATER 2017'S
    2017’s Worst Offenses Against GEORGIA’S WATER LAKE SINCLAIR Weak Regulations Send Toxins from Shuttered Power Plant to Premiere Lake INTRODUCTION: Given the opportunity to enact regulations to protect Georgia’s water and the health of communities downstream from coal-fired power plants, Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division (EPD) and legislators earlier this year did what has become all too common—they deferred to influential business interests. Now, Georgia Power Company is proceeding LAKE with plans to close 29 ash ponds at 11 of its coal-fired generation plants SINCLAIR across the state with inadequate oversight from EPD. These plans include efforts to drain water from those ponds and discharge it to the state’s waterways. Ash pond water is known to contain toxic substances like arsenic, mercury, lead and selenium. At the now closed Plant Branch near Milledgeville, Lake Sinclair will be on the receiving end of this pollution. Rather than set clear limits on how much toxins could be released during the closure of these ponds, EPD has instead agreed to allow Georgia Power to simply monitor for these toxins. Under the plan, EPD will limit toxic discharges only if the monitoring shows evidence of toxins being released above what it deems acceptable. Of course, by then, damage will already have been done. To make matters worse, the release of these toxins can take place at any time, with no requirement for Georgia Power to notify downstream water utilities, communities or other water users. THE WATER BODY: A man-made reservoir on the Oconee River, Lake Sinclair has been a recreation hot spot in middle Georgia since the completion of Sinclair Dam in 1953.

  • Summary of Results
    Review Draft Synopsis Report Current Assimilative Capacity Assessment SUMMARY OF RESULTS In support of the Georgia Comprehensive State-wide Water Management Plan (GA State Water Plan), the Surface Water Quality (or Assimilative Capacity) Resource Assessment was used to determine the capacity of Georgia’s surface waters to absorb pollutants without unacceptable degradation of water quality. Assimilative Capacity is defined as the amount of contaminant load that can be discharged to a specific waterbody without exceeding water quality standards or criteria. In other words, the assimilative capacity is used to define the ability of a waterbody to naturally absorb and use a discharged substance without water quality becoming impaired or aquatic life being harmed. The assimilative capacity resource assessment included developing water quality models of selected streams, rivers, lakes and estuaries throughout the State of Georgia. Results from these models were compared with applicable water quality standards. The current assimilative capacity results focus on dissolved oxygen, nutrients, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a. The water quality models were used to evaluate the impacts of current wastewater and industrial discharges and withdrawals, land use, and meteorological conditions on the waterbody. MODELS USED FOR ASSIMILATIVE CAPACITY RESOURCE ASSESSMENT For the Assimilative Capacity Resource Assessment, four different models were developed. GA Dosag Georgia Dosag (GA Dosag) was used to predict dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations in a stream or river during critical time periods which include low flow and high temperatures. GaEst Georgia Estuary (GaEst) was used to predict the dissolved oxygen sag curve in the vicinity of waste discharge points in Georgia estuaries.

    Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division Field Operations Weekly Report August 24-30, 2014 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 30th, Cpl. Lee Burns responded to a call of a boat incident in the area of Clark Creek on Allatoona Lake. During a thunderstorm a vessel headed in for cover struck another vessel from behind. The operator of the vessel stated that he could not see due to the heavy rain. Luckily there were no injuries and minor damage to the vessels. CHEROKEE COUNTY RFC Zack Hardy responded to a possible domestic complaint on Allatoona Lake near Little River Marina. When RFC Hardy arrived on scene, Cherokee County Sheriff Deputies had already arrived and interviewed the parties involved. RFC Hardy was advised by the deputies that the vessel that was still on scene came through the no wake zone above idle speed and nearly collided with another vessel and the rocky shoreline. RFC Hardy began to interview the vessel operator and observed signs of impairment. RFC Hardy performed field sobriety and found the operator to be under the influence of alcohol. The operator was placed under arrest for boating under the influence (BUI) and transported to the Cherokee County Adult Detention Center. Sgt. Mike Barr and Cpl. Lee Burns attended the Grand Opening weekend of Cabela’s where 8,000 hunters, fishermen and boaters from around the Southeast swarmed the new store in Acworth, Georgia.
