Not applicable. Duluth is inland in Gwinnett County, roughly 250 miles from the Atlantic coast. Georgia's Coastal Marshlands Protection Act applies only to 11 coastal counties.
Georgia's Coastal Marshlands Protection Act (O.C.G.A. §12-5-280 et seq.) and the Shore Protection Act (O.C.G.A. §12-5-230) apply exclusively to the 11 coastal counties — Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Glynn, Liberty, Long, McIntosh, and the four counties containing tidal waters. Duluth sits in Gwinnett County in the Piedmont region, approximately 250 miles inland from Tybee Island, so CMPA permitting through the Coastal Resources Division does not apply. Duluth's relevant environmental regulations instead focus on the Chattahoochee River corridor, Metropolitan River Protection Act (O.C.G.A. §12-5-440) 2,000-foot buffer, stream buffers under the Georgia Erosion and Sedimentation Act (O.C.G.A. §12-7-1), and FEMA floodplain rules. Property owners near tributaries of the Chattahoochee should consult those rules rather than coastal statutes.
