Caption:Motion to approve an option for the purposes of acquiring a Right-of-
Way between Prayon, Inc., as owner, and Augusta, Georgia, as optionee, in
connection with the Marvin Griffin Road Improvement Project, conveyed in fee

Approve the Demolition of Dilapidated structures on Landfill Property
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Approve the demolition of dilapidated structures on Landfill property.
Background:Years ago the Solid Waste Department acquired several parcels of property
adjoining the Landfill. Each of the parcels contained a structure of some
sort. Over the past several years the structures have been pillaged and
stripped, and are dilapidated. Included in this demolition will also be our old
office building and shop structure near the entrance to the Landfill as they
are not structurally sound enough to be relocated. We vacated these
buildings this past March when we moved into our new Maintenance
building.
Analysis:We are proposing the demolition of the structures using our own equipment
and resources at no third-party cost to the County. The property has become
an eyesore and could pose safety concerns if left in its current state.
Financial Impact:N/A
Alternatives:1. Approve the demolition of dilapidated structures. 2. Do not approve.

Approve the purchase of (2) John Deere 333D Track Loaders with attachments off Georgia State Contract
SWC080773.
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Approve the purchase of (2) John Deere 333D Track Loaders with
attachments off Georgia State Contract SWC080773.
Background:The Solid Waste Department does not currently own a track loader. We
have Solid Waste collection programs that will benefit greatly from the use
of this machine.
Analysis:We are proposing the purchase of these machines as a supplement to our
current equipment, and to enhance our current Solid Waste collections
programs. This machine, with attachments, will also afford us a great deal of
versatility in the types of tasks it can allow us to accomplish in our day-to-
day operations. The cost of this machine, with attachments, is $ 90,372.11
Financial Impact:Adequate funds are available. The department recommends transferring
funds from 542-04-4110/5111110 to 542-04-4110/5422510

Approve the purchase of (3) Live Floor Trailers from Travis Body & Trailer, Inc.
Department:Solid Waste
Caption:Approve the purchase of (3) Live Floor Trailers from Travis Body &
Trailer, Inc.
Background:The Solid Waste Department currently hauls all recyclables collected to
Atlanta and Columbia. The operation currently uses trailers that were
intended to be at the courtesy drop off area. Our recycling program has
grown to a point where it requires 2-3 trailers on a full time basis.
Analysis:We are proposing the purchase of these trailers in order to operate more
efficiently in our recycling program as well as to facilitate other programs.
By purchasing the same brand and specs as we have previously, it allows
Augusta Solid Waste to continue to establish a fleet of trucks and trailers
that are all the same and therefore lowering the long-term maintenance
costs. Therefore, we recommend utilizing sole source procurement in an
effort to keep all our assets of a like nature. The combined cost for three
trailers is $196,650.
Financial Impact:Adequate funds are available. The department recommends transferring
funds from 542-04-4110/5111110 to 542-04-4110/5421110.
Alternatives:1. Approve the purchase of (3) Live Floor Trailers. 2. Do not approve the

Augusta Area-Wide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) - Stormwater Discharges Permit
(Permit #GAS000200
Department:Abie L. Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director of Engineering
Caption:Approve the adoption of Augusta, Georgia NPDES Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) Stormwater Management Program (SWMP)-
2010 SWMP modification as requested by AED.
Background:Area-wide NPDES MS4 permit was issued to Augusta, Georgia in the early
1900’s in incompliance to Federal Phase 1 Stormwater Management
Regulations. This permit is on a five-year cycle and is now in its 4th cycle.
The permit was recently renewed in 2010. During the past years, Federal
and State Stormwater Management requirements have changed; Augusta
was notified by these agencies to modify its current SWMP to show
compliance with recent changes in guidance and applicable rules and
regulations. The two key changes are I) qualitative assessment to
quantitative assessment, and II) complete inventory of storm conveyance
system that include storm pipes, structures, open ditches, detention ponds,
etc. This modified updated SWMP submittal to Georgia Environmental
Protection Division (EPD) is due by December 1, 2010.
Analysis:The adoption of Augusta SWMP is a federal and state mandate. AED is
responsible for both the management and compliance of Augusta Area-Wide
NPDES MS4 permit. A significant number of Augusta’s Departments have
a responsibility to perform specific activities that are components of
Augusta SWMP. Key components of Augusta SWMP are: stormwater
infrastructure (outfall, pipes, ponds, catch basins, etc) inspections
(20%/year), local industrial facilities inspection (20%/year), Augusta
facilities inspections (20%/year), public outreach and education; post-
construction stormwater management, and local streams water quality
assessment and improvements.
Financial Impact:Developing the required stormwater conveyance system inventory and
ensuring proper functionality will require a dedicated funding mechanism.
AED will present its recommendations to the Commission at a later date.
Alternatives:1) Approve the adoption of Augusta, Georgia NPDES Municipal Separate
Storm Sewer System (MS4) Stormwater Management Program (SWMP)-
2010 SWMP modification as requested by AED. 2) Do not approve and face
possible enforcement action under NPDES MS4 compliance by the State
and Federal agencies.
Recommendation:Approve Alternative Number One.

Sanitary Sewer Relocation – Augusta Kroc Center
Department:Utilities
Caption:Approve Augusta-Richmond County to supplement the contract of RW
Allen, LLC in the amount of $51,000 to relocate a sanitary sewer line in
order to resolve a conflict between an existing storm sewer and sanitary
sewer located on the southeast corner of the Broad Street and the former
Pearl Avenue which is currently part of the Kroc Center Property.
Background:During construction of the Augusta Kroc Center it was discovered that an
existing sanitary sewer line crosses and had been laid on top of an existing
storm water line and caused subsequent damage to the storm sewer at the

One and Change Order One for additional site drainage improvement work
in the amount of $25,229.79 to J. Harris Trucking and Construction, Inc. on
the Village West Drainage Improvements project. Funding will be from
SPLOST Phase IV Fund Account Balance as requested by AED.
Background:The Storm Drainage Improvements at Village West is a drainage project that
was designed by in-house staff. Storm water flows from the Village West
Shopping Center into Augusta-Richmond County’s channel easement. This
receiving channel is undersized, and as a result causing severe flooding on
the Village West Townhomes property. The proposed improvements will
significantly reduce the amount of storm runoff into the existing channel and
alleviate the chance of flooding in the area. Additional curb and gutters are
added to the initial design to manage and redirect additional runoff into a
storm piping system.

Stormwater Discharges Permit Compliance - revision of Augusta Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control Ordinance
Department:Abie L. Ladson, PE, CPESC, Director of Engineering
Caption:Approve the adoption of the Soil Erosion, Sedimentation and Pollution
Control Ordinance as requested by AED.
Background:Under Georgia Code O.C.G.A TITLE 12 CHAPTER 7 Section 12-7-8(2), a
certified local government such as Augusta must review, revise, or amend
its erosion and sediment control ordinance within 12 month of any
amendment to Georgia “Erosion and Sedimentation Act of 1975”. On
September 16, 2009, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD)
notified Augusta Georgia that the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation
(E&S) Act has been revised. EPD stated that Augusta must subsequently
amend its E&S Control ordinance and include it in the 2010 revisions to the
Augusta Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) Stormwater
Management Program (SWMP). EPD issued a follow-up letter on June 3,
2010 informing Augusta Engineering Department informing (AED) that the
E&S Ordinance revision is due by July 1, 2010. AED requested an
extension to complete the revision and ordinance to include MS4 SWMP by
December 1, 2010. Primary change in the E&S rule is inclusion of
stormwater pollution control requirements and adoption of State Stormwater
General permit for Construction Activities requirements. AED will submit
the revised adopted ordinance to EPD as a part of Augusta’s revised MS4
SWMP.
Analysis:AED is responsible for the management and compliance of Augusta Area-
Wide NPDES MS4 permit. AED also manages E&SC plan reviews, field
activities, and compliances. As dictated under NPDES MS4 compliance
requirements, stormwater pollution control requirements are included in the
revised ordinance. Accordingly, the ordinance name has changed to
‘Erosion, Sedimentation and Pollution Control”. AED is integrating an
updated checklist and land disturbing permit in its engineering plan review
process. This integration is necessary to avoid/minimize engineering plan
review time, which is - 10 days for small projects and 14 days for large
projects (such as subdivision); allowable period is 30 days.
Financial Impact:No direct financial impact. Required activities will be integrated into AED’s
ongoing MS4 Stormwater Management Program.
Alternatives:1) Approve the adoption of the Soil Erosion, Sedimentation and Pollution
Control Ordinance. 2) Do not approve and face possible enforcement action
under NPDES MS4 compliance by the State and Federal agencies. Cover Memo

stabilization of erodible or sediment-producing areas by covering the soil with:
(a) Permanent seeding, sprigging or planting, producing long-term vegetative
cover, or
(b) Temporary seeding, producing short-term vegetative cover; or
(c) Sodding, covering areas with a turf of perennial sod-forming grass.
Such measures can be found in the publication Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control
in Georgia.
52. Watercourse: Any natural or artificial watercourse, stream, river, creek, channel,
ditch, canal, conduit, culvert, drain, waterway, gully, ravine, or wash in which water
flows either continuously or intermittently and which has a definite channel, bed and
banks, and including any area adjacent thereto subject to inundation by reason of
overflow or floodwater.

SECTION IV
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR EROSION, SEDIMENTATION AND POLLUTION
CONTROL USING BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
A. GENERAL PROVISIONS:
Excessive soil erosion and resulting sedimentation can take place during land-disturbing
activities if requirements of the ordinance and the NPDES General Permit are not met.
Therefore, plans for those land-disturbing activities which are not exempted by this
ordinance shall contain provisions for application of soil erosion, sedimentation and
pollution control measures and practices. The provisions shall be incorporated into the
erosion, sedimentation and pollution control plans. Soil erosion, sedimentation and
pollution control measures and practices shall conform to the minimum requirements of
Section IV B. & C. of this ordinance. The application of measures and practices shall
Attachment number 1Page 12 of 26
13
apply to all features of the site, including street and utility installations, drainage facilities
and other temporary and permanent improvements. Measures shall be installed to
prevent or control erosion, sedimentation and pollution during all stages of any land-
disturbing activity in accordance with requirements of this ordinance and the NPDES
General Permit
B. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS/ BMPs/MONITORING REQUIREMENTS:
1. Best management practices as set forth in Section IV B. & C. of this ordinance
shall be required for all land-disturbing activities. Proper design, installation, and
maintenance of best management practices shall constitute a complete defense to any
action by the Director or to any other allegation of noncompliance with paragraph (2) of
this subsection or any substantially similar terms contained in a permit for the discharge
of storm water issued pursuant to subsection (f) of O.C.G.A. §12-5-30, the "Georgia
Water Quality Control Act". As used in this subsection the terms "proper design” and
“properly designed” mean designed in accordance with the hydraulic design
specifications contained in the “Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia”
specified in O.C.G.A. §12-7-6 subsection (b).
2. A discharge of storm water runoff from disturbed areas where best management
practices have not been properly designed, installed, and maintained shall constitute a
separate violation of any land-disturbing permit issued by a local Issuing Authority or of
any state general permit issued by the Division pursuant to subsection (f) of O.C.G.A.
§12-5-30, the "Georgia Water Quality Control Act", for each day on which such
discharge results in the turbidity of receiving waters being increased by more than
twenty-five (25) nephelometric turbidity units for waters supporting warm water
fisheries or by more than ten (10) nephelometric turbidity units for waters classified as
trout waters. The turbidity of the receiving waters shall be measured in accordance with
guidelines to be issued by the Director. This paragraph shall not apply to any land
disturbance associated with the construction of single family homes which are not part of
a larger common plan of development or sale unless the planned disturbance for such
construction is equal to or greater than five (5) acres.
C. VIOLATIONS:
1. Failure to properly design, install, or maintain best management practices shall
constitute a violation of any land-disturbing permit issued by a Local Issuing Authority or
of any state general permit issued by the Division pursuant to subsection (f) of Code
Section 12-5-30, the "Georgia Water Quality Control Act", for each day on which such
failure occurs.
2. The Director may require, in accordance with regulations adopted by the Board,
reasonable and prudent monitoring of the turbidity level of receiving waters into which
discharges from land disturbing activities occur.
Attachment number 1Page 13 of 26
14
3. Failure to perform turbidity monitoring or to submit monitoring results as
required under the state general permit(s) applicable to the project shall be a violation of
this article for each day on which such failure occurs or continues.
4. If any person commences any land-disturbing activity requiring a land disturbing
permit as described in this article without first obtaining said permit, the person shall be
in violation of this Article for each day on which such land disturbing activity occurs.
5. Conducting land-disturbing activity in any manner prohibited by or inconsistent
with the requirements of this article shall constitute a separate violation of this article for
each day on which such prohibited or inconsistent activity occurs or continues.
D. REQUIREMENTS:
The rules and regulations, ordinances, or resolutions adopted pursuant to this chapter and
O.C.G.A. §12-7-1 et. seq. for the purpose of governing land-disturbing activities shall
require, as a minimum, protections at least as stringent as the state general permit; and
best management practices, including sound conservation and engineering practices to
prevent and minimize erosion and resultant sedimentation, which are consistent with, and
no less stringent than, those practices contained in the Manual for Erosion and Sediment
Control in Georgia published by the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission
as of January 1 of the year in which the land-disturbing activity was permitted, as well as
the following:
1. Stripping of vegetation, regrading and other development activities shall be
conducted in a manner so as to minimize erosion;
2. Cut-fill operations must be kept to a minimum;
3. Development plans must conform to topography and soil type so as to create the
lowest practicable erosion potential;
4. Whenever feasible, natural vegetation shall be retained, protected and
supplemented;
5. The disturbed area and the duration of exposure to erosive elements shall be kept
to a practicable minimum;
6. Disturbed soil shall be stabilized as quickly as practicable;
7. Temporary vegetation or mulching shall be employed to protect exposed critical
areas during development;
8. Permanent vegetation and structural erosion control practices shall be installed as
soon as practicable;
Attachment number 1Page 14 of 26
15
9. To the extent necessary, sediment in run-off water must be trapped by the use of
debris basins, sediment basins, silt traps, or similar measures until the disturbed area is
stabilized. As used in this paragraph, a disturbed area is stabilized when it is brought to a
condition of continuous compliance with the requirements of O.C.G.A. §12-7-1 et. seq.;
10. Adequate provisions must be provided to minimize damage from surface water to
the cut face of excavations or the sloping of fills;
11. Cuts and fills may not endanger adjoining property;
12. Fills may not encroach upon natural watercourses or constructed channels in a
manner so as to adversely affect other property owners;
13. Grading equipment must cross flowing streams by means of bridges or culverts
except when such methods are not feasible, provided, in any case, that such crossings are
kept to a minimum;
14. Land-disturbing activity plans for erosion, sedimentation and pollution control
shall include provisions for treatment or control of any source of sediments and adequate
sedimentation control facilities to retain sediments on-site or preclude sedimentation of
adjacent waters beyond the levels specified in Section IV B. 2. of this ordinance
E. BUFFERS:
1. Except as provided in O.C.G.A §12-7-6(b)(16) for trout streams, there is
established a 25 foot buffer along the banks of all state waters, as measured horizontally
from the point where vegetation has been wrested by normal stream flow or wave action,
except i) where the Director determines to allow a variance that is at least as protective of
natural resources and the environment, ii) where otherwise allowed by the Director
pursuant to O.C.G.A. §12-2-8, iii) where a drainage structure or a roadway drainage
structure must be constructed, provided that adequate erosion control measures are
incorporated in the project plans and specifications, and are implemented; or iv) along
any ephemeral stream. As used in this provision, the term 'ephemeral stream' means a
stream: that under normal circumstances has water flowing only during and for a short
duration after precipitation events; that has the channel located above the ground-water
table year round; for which ground water is not a source of water; and for which runoff
from precipitation is the primary source of water flow, Unless exempted as along an
ephemeral stream, the buffers of at least 25 feet established pursuant to part 6 of Article
5, Chapter 5 of Title 12, the "Georgia Water Quality Control Act", shall remain in force
unless a variance is granted by the Director as provided in this paragraph. The following
requirements shall apply to any such buffer:
(a) No land-disturbing activities shall be conducted within a buffer and a
buffer shall remain in its natural, undisturbed state of vegetation until all land-disturbing
activities on the construction site are completed. Once the final stabilization of the site is
achieved, a buffer may be thinned or trimmed of vegetation as long as a protective
Attachment number 1Page 15 of 26
16
vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy
is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed; provided, however, that any
person constructing a single-family residence, when such residence is constructed by or
under contract with the owner for his or her own occupancy, may thin or trim vegetation
in a buffer at any time as long as protective vegetative cover remains to protect water
quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade
on the stream bed; and
(b) The buffer shall not apply to the following land-disturbing activities,
provided that they occur at an angle, as measured from the point of crossing, within 25
degrees of perpendicular to the stream; cause a width of disturbance of not more than 50
feet within the buffer; and adequate erosion control measures are incorporated into the
project plans and specifications and are implemented: (i) Stream crossings for water
lines; or (ii) Stream crossings for sewer lines; and
2. There is established a 50 foot buffer as measured horizontally from the point
where vegetation has been wrested by normal stream flow or wave action, along the
banks of any state waters classified as "trout streams" pursuant to Article 2 of Chapter 5
of Title 12, the “Georgia Water Quality Control Act", except where a roadway drainage
structure must be constructed ; provided, however, that small springs and streams
classified as trout streams which discharge an average annual flow of 25 gallons per
minute or less shall have a 25 foot buffer or they may be piped, at the discretion of the
landowner, pursuant to the terms of a rule providing for a general variance promulgated
by the Board, so long as any such pipe stops short of the downstream landowner’s
property and the landowner complies with the buffer requirement for any adjacent trout
streams. The Director may grant a variance from such buffer to allow land-disturbing
activity, provided that adequate erosion control measures are incorporated in the project
plans and specifications and are implemented. The following requirements shall apply to
such buffer:
(a) No land-disturbing activities shall be conducted within a buffer and a
buffer shall remain in its natural, undisturbed, state of vegetation until all land-disturbing
activities on the construction site are completed. Once the final stabilization of the site is
achieved, a buffer may be thinned or trimmed of vegetation as long as a protective
vegetative cover remains to protect water quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy
is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade on the stream bed: provided, however, that any
person constructing a single–family residence, when such residence is constructed by or
under contract with the owner for his or her own occupancy, may thin or trim vegetation
in a buffer at any time as long as protective vegetative cover remains to protect water
quality and aquatic habitat and a natural canopy is left in sufficient quantity to keep shade
on the stream bed; and
(b)The buffer shall not apply to the following land-disturbing activities, provided
that they occur at an angle, as measured from the point of crossing, within 25 degrees of
perpendicular to the stream; cause a width of disturbance of not more than 50 feet within
the buffer; and adequate erosion control measures are incorporated into the project plans
Attachment number 1Page 16 of 26
17
and specifications and are implemented: (i) Stream crossings for water lines; or (ii)
Stream crossings for sewer lines.
F. LOCAL ISSUING AUTHORITY:
Nothing contained in O.C.G.A. 12-7-1 et. seq. shall prevent any Local Issuing Authority
from adopting rules and regulations, ordinances, or resolutions which contain stream
buffer requirements that exceed the minimum requirements in Section IV B. & C. of this
ordinance.
G. LAND-DISTURBING ACTIVITY:
The fact that land-disturbing activity for which a permit has been issued results in
injury to the property of another shall neither constitute proof of nor create a presumption
of a violation of the standards provided for in this ordinance or the terms of the permit
SECTION V
APPLICATION/PERMIT PROCESS
A. GENERAL:

submitted to the Local Issuing Authority. In addition to the local permitting fees, fees will
also be assessed pursuant to paragraph (5) subsection (a) of O.C.G.A. §12-5-23, provided
that such fees shall not exceed $80.00 per acre of land-disturbing activity, and these fees
shall be calculated and paid by the primary permittee as defined in the state general
permit for each acre of land-disturbing activity included in the planned development or
each phase of development. All applicable fees shall be paid prior to issuance of the land
disturbance permit. In a jurisdiction that is certified pursuant to subsection (a) of
O.C.G.A. §12-7-8 half of such fees levied shall be submitted to the Division; except that
any and all fees due from an entity which is required to give notice pursuant to paragraph
(9) or (10) of O.C.G.A. §12-7-17 shall be submitted in full to the Division, regardless of
the existence of a Local Issuing Authority in the jurisdiction.
4. Immediately upon receipt of an application and plan for a permit, the Local
Issuing Authority shall refer the application and plan to the District for its review and
approval or disapproval concerning the adequacy of the erosion, sedimentation and
pollution control plan. The District shall approve or disapprove a plan within 35 days of
receipt. Failure of the District to act within 35 days shall be considered an approval of
the pending plan. The results of the District review shall be forwarded to the Local
Issuing Authority. No permit will be issued unless the plan has been approved by the
District, and any variances required by Section IV C. 15. & 16. has been obtained, all
fees have been paid, and bonding, if required as per Section V B.6., have been obtained.
Such review will not be required if the County and the District have entered into an
agreement which allows the County to conduct such review and approval of the plan
without referring the application and plan to the District. The Local Issuing Authority
with plan review authority shall approve or disapprove a revised Plan submittal within 35
days of receipt. Failure of the Local Issuing Authority with plan review authority to act
within 35 days shall be considered an approval of the revised Plan submittal.
5. Denial of Permit: If a permit applicant has had two or more violations of previous
permits, this ordinance section, or the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act, as
amended, within three years prior to the date of filing the application under consideration,
