Abstract
Georgia's Source Water Assessment and
Protection Implementation Plan (Implementation Plan)
was approved by Region IV of the U.S. EPA in May
2000. Upon approval of the Georgia Implementation
Plan, all public drinking water systems in Georgia are
required to have a Source Water Assessment Plan
(SWAP).
Preparations of SWAPs are a critical technical issue
for Georgia's public water systems. To assist drinking
water systems with this formidable task, EPD is
utilizing the successful efforts of other EPD
environmental initiatives, as well as implementing new
initiatives designed to aid both surface water and
ground water users.
Successfully established EPD environmental
initiatives include WellHead Protection and Monitoring
Waivers. More recent environmental initiatives include
definitions of the State's river basins and intake specific
watersheds, funding availability through partnering
contracts and strategy development for water wells with
critical data needs. Additional initiatives will be
developed as Source Water Assessment approaches its
critical compliance date.
