Meeting on Water Quantity Management, July 10 Town Hall

EPD is developing a Statewide Comprehensive Water Plan to be provided to the Georgia Water Council in January 2007. In conjunction with this planning process, the Georgia Water Council will present a draft policy recommendation on water quantity management, followed by an opportunity for the public to provide comments on the draft policy at a series of town hall meetings. 

Although the LLA petitioned the EPD to hold a meeting in our area so our members would have the opportunity to attend, the closest meeting will be July 10, 2006

Southern Polytechnic State University
Burruss Auditorium (H203)
1100 South
Marietta Parkway
Marietta, Georgia 30060

The meeting will begin with an open house from 5:00 p.m to 6:00 p.m., followed by a presentation on the draft policy recommendation on water quantity management from 6:25 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and concluding with a public comment period from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Georgia Public Broadcasting will tape the presentation on the draft policy recommendation in Marietta on July 10th.

Public comments on the draft policy recommendation can be sent to watercomments@fanning.uga.edu .

The University of Georgia's Fanning Institute will compile comments received by e-mail before July 31st, along with the comments received at the town hall meetings.
