Wetlands are often regarded as undesirable areas, however, these areas provide important features for the lands around them. USACE has recently changed the definitions of "Waters of the State" and the Section 404 Permit.
You can utilize the FWS Wetland Mapper to get an idea of where these bodies of water might be. However, this is not the ultimate determinant. You will need to have the area delineated to determine the actual wetland boundaries and if there would be a surface connection for USACE permitting.
Coastal Marshland Buffers
Coastal Marshland Buffers
Georgia has over 100 miles of coastline located in 378,000 acres of marshland. One-third of the Eastern United States' salt marshes are located here. Salt Marshes play an important role in our ecosystem. Much like wetlands, salt marshes are a habitat and spawning area for many wildlife, and protect the shoreline from erosion and wave action. Who wouldn't want to walk out onto their back porch and have this view every day? With sea level rise and economic development growing every day, these marshlands have been greatly impacted. Some waterfront properties are losing as much as a foot of buildable property per year!
Knowing how to protect your waterfront property can be challenging. There are several permitting options available depending on the goals you have for the property. Let us help walk you through the options you have to beautify and protect your waterfront property.
