STATE OF GEORGIA
SPECIAL PROVISION
(For State Aid Contracts Only)
Section 107-Legal Regulations and Responsibility to the Public
Delete Subsection 107.2 3.A and substitute the following:
107.23 Environmental Considerations
All environmental considerations and clearances shall be the responsibility of the County or municipality to meet, including the
requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344).
After July L 1991, State funded projects must comply with the requirements of Chapter 16 of Title 12 of the Official Code of
Georgia Annotated, the Georgia Environmental Policy Act (GEPA), of 1991. In compliance with GEPA, those projects for
which Federal funding is sought, and NEPA compliance is accomplished, are exempt from the requirements ofGEPA.
GEPA requires that environmental documentation be accomplished for County or City projects ifmore than 50 percent of the
total project cost is funded by a grant of a State Agency or a grant of more that $250,000.00 is made by the State Agency to the
municipality or County. The "responsible official of the government agency shall determine if a proposed governmental action is
a proposed governmental action which may significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment."
A. The Following Projects Would Not Significantly Adversely Affect The Quality Of The Environment:
Non-land disturbing activities and minor land disturbing activities that would not be anticipated to significantly affect the
quality of the environment include the following list. These types of projects funded with state money would not be subject
to environmental assessment of any kind. Hearing procedures outline in GEPA would not be applicable.
I. Minor roadway and non-historic bridge projects.
a. Modernization of an existing highway by resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation, adding shoulders, widening a
single lane or less in each direction and the addition of a median within previously disturbed existing right-of-way.
b. Adding auxiliary lanes for localized purposes (weaving, climbing, speed changes, etc.) and correction substandard
curves and intersections within previously disturbed existing right-or-way.
c. Non-historic bridge replacement projects in existing alignment with no detour bridge.
2. Lighting, signing, pavement marking, signalization. freeway surveillance and control systems, and railroad protective
devices.
3. Safety projects such as grooving, glared screen, safety barriers, energy attenuators, median barriers, etc.
4. Highway landscaping and landscaping modification, rest area projects and truck weigh stations within previously
disturbed existing right-of-way.
5. Construction of bus shelters and bays within existing right-of-way.
6. Temporary replacement of a highway facility that is commenced immediately after the occurrence of a natural disaster
of catastrophic failure to restore the highway for the health, welfare, and safety of the public.
Attachment A-2
B. The Following Projects May Not Significantly Adversely Affect The Quality Of The Environment:
For projects that will cause land disturbance and for which there is no anticipation that the project may significantly
adversely affect the quality of the environment, certain studies will be undertaken. These studies would serve to document
whether or not the County or municipality should anticipate that a project might significantly adversely affect the quality of
the environment. Documentation of the studies will be accomplished through the use of the "GEPA Investigation Studies"
checklist.
The types of projects that would fall under the category, would include:
I. Bridge replacement projects on new location or with a detour bridge, where there are no significant adverse impacts to
historic or archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no
significant adverse Impact to wetlands.
2. Passing lanes, median additions and widening projects, where there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or
archaeological resources, no involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant
adverse impact to wetlands.
3. Safety and intersection improvements where there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or archaeological
resources, no involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact to
wetlands.
4. Rest area projects and truck weigh stations with no purchase of additional right-of-way.
5. New location projects where there are no significant adverse impacts to historic or archaeological resources, no
involvement with Federally listed threatened and endangered species and no significant adverse impact to wetlands.
If studies demonstrate that the project will not significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment, project files will
be documented. If studies demonstrate that the project may significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment,
development of an environmental effects report (EER) will be undertaken along with full GEPA compliance.
C. The Following Projects May Significantly Adversely Affect The Quality Of The Environment:
This category of projects may include major widening and new location projects. If such projects result in a significant
adverse effect. an EER shall be prepared.
D. EER Procedure:
GEPA calls for consideration of the "cumulative effect of the proposed government actions on the environment.....ifa series
of proposed government actions are related either geographically or as logical parts in a chain of contemplated actions."
Therefore, EER's for sections of roadways to be widened or built as new location facilities will include all projects that are
connected geographically or as logical parts in a chain of contemplated actions.
I. During preparation of an enviromnental effect report, the County or Municipality will consult with and solicit
comments from agencies that have jurisdiction by law, special expertise, or other interest with respect to environmental
impacts.
2. In compliance with GEPA the following shall be contained in the EER, at a minimum:
a. Cover sheet;
b. Executive summary;
