Abstract
The objective of this project is to identify
and rank riparian buffers in the ten-mile corridor
between Rockdale County’s drinking water intake and
the Black Shoals water supply reservoir. Rockdale
County is considering several methods for protection
including acquisition. The method used to rank the
riparian buffer zone include surveying the buffer zone
for ecological value and development risk, creating a
database of landowners, and creating a GIS of survey
results and property parcels. A list of the highest
priority buffer segments was developed for Rockdale
County to consider. An educational brochure outlining
the importance of protecting natural buffers was also
produced.
