§ 26-528. Intent and purpose.

Latest version.

The wetlands of Fulton County, Georgia are important to the environment and shall be protected. The purpose of this article is to recognize and require adherence to Federal regulations and procedures that govern the development of land that contain wetlands within unincorporated Fulton County, Georgia. The regulations contained in this article are created under the requirement of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. §1344), ("CWA"). Any Fulton County government action under this article does not relieve the landowner from federal or state permitting requirements. In the event of a conflict between or among any provisions of this article, the Clean Water Act or any other ordinance, resolution or regulation of Fulton County, the most restrictive requirement shall apply. It is not the intent of this article to regulate individual properties where activities will not impact wetlands and do not require a land disturbance permit.
