Abstract
Although the number of water-related bills
considered by the General Assembly during the 1995-1996
legislative term was limited, the ones that did receive action
were high profile and controversial. Major bills included
ones relating to wastewater discharges in the metropolitan
Atlanta region, stream turbidity, and solid waste
management. The controversial nature of these bills may
serve as a prelude to legislation facing the next term of the
General Assembly. Resolution of issues relating to
apportioning water with Alabama and Florida, managing
coastal ground water, establishing total maximum daily
loads of pollutants for streams, and participating in the
federal coastal zone management program will
fundamentally alter how water is managed in Georgia.
