Abstract
The Environmental Planning Criteria Database
keeps records on those jurisdictions that have had
comprehensive plans approved by the Department of
Community Affairs (DCA). The database lists the
recommended protection measures, as outlined in the
Environmental Planning Criteria (Georgia Department of
Natural Resources), that the jurisdictions have committed to
implement at some point in order to address environmental
resource protection.
The results of the database show that only 18 % of all
jurisdictions with water supply watersheds, 19% of
jurisdictions with groundwater recharge areas and just 9% of
those with river corridors have stated that they would
implement all of the recommended protection measures. The
numbers are larger for those jurisdictions choosing to
implement some portion of the measures: 51% of those with
water supply watersheds, 38% with groundwater recharge
areas, and 65% with river corridors. 10% of those
jurisdictions with water supply watersheds, 14% with
groundwater recharge areas, and 10% with river corridors
have stated that they intend to implement none of the
recommended protection measures.
