Implementation of watershed management requirements and model ordinances
Abstract
The Metropolitan North Georgia Water
Planning District adopted its Watershed Management Plan
in late 2003 which includes a number of programmatic,
policy, land-use and capital improvements requirements
and recommendations for local governments in the areas
of stormwater management and watershed protection. In
the first year after adoption, District staff worked closely
with its member cities and counties in 2004 to begin
implementing the plan’s recommendations by providing
training, technical assistance and additional resources for
the local governments.
This paper reports on those activities and the progress
that local governments have made to implement the plan.
