Not applicable — Cobb County is 250+ miles inland from the Georgia coast. Coastal Marshlands Protection Act and Shore Protection Act do NOT apply. Chattahoochee River corridor MRPA serves an analogous local-waters role.
Cobb County is a landlocked metropolitan county in north Georgia, 250+ miles from the Atlantic coast. Georgia's Coastal Marshlands Protection Act (O.C.G.A. §12-5-280) and Shore Protection Act (O.C.G.A. §12-5-230) govern only the six-county coastal region (Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Glynn, Liberty, McIntosh) and do not apply to Cobb. The analogous local-waters regime for Cobb is the Metropolitan River Protection Act (O.C.G.A. §12-5-440) for the Chattahoochee River corridor, which runs along Cobb's eastern and southeastern boundary. MRPA imposes a 2,000-foot 'corridor' with land-use and impervious-surface restrictions administered by the Atlanta Regional Commission and Cobb Community Development. Also relevant: GA Water Quality Control Act stream buffers and Cobb's Watershed Protection Ordinance in the Sweetwater, Noonday, and Nickajack basins.
No coastal penalties (not applicable). MRPA violations: corrective action plus fines $1,000–$2,500/day per O.C.G.A. §12-5-453.
