Universal Citation: GA Rules and Regs r 391-4-5-.17
Current through Rules and Regulations filed through September 23, 2024

Whenever the Commissioner determines in advance that any of the waters of this State and their adjoining upland resource are not capable, without sustaining damage, of withstanding an unlimited number of marine events in any period of time, he may restrict the size, number, or duration of events that will be permitted for the said period of time on said waters and their adjoining upland resource. In determining an appropriate period of time for which to impose such restrictions, the Commissioner shall consider the size of the water body, the fragility of the ecosystem in the water body and its adjoining upland resource, the likelihood of applications for large marine events to be held thereon and his ability to protect the natural resource values of the potentially affected area by means of permit conditions. Such restrictions and their duration shall be publicly announced in a manner calculated to provide a reasonable time for preparation and submittal of applications for permits for marine events within the restricted area and in any event no less than 90 days prior to the effective date of such restriction.

Ga. L. 1937, p. 264, as amended; Ga. L. 1973, p. 1427, as amended.
