Coweta County requires a land-disturbance permit and post-development stormwater controls for new construction. As a Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District member, it enforces runoff-reduction and stream-buffer standards on the erosive red-clay Piedmont.
Coweta County belongs to the Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District and adopts the District's stormwater model ordinances. New development and redevelopment must capture and treat runoff on site using the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual (the Blue Book) and meet runoff-reduction targets. A county land-disturbance permit is required before grading, and sites disturbing one acre or more also need coverage under Georgia EPD's NPDES construction general permit (GAR100001-3). On the county's erosive red-clay Piedmont soils, sediment control matters. Owners must maintain detention ponds and water-quality facilities in perpetuity.
Discharging sediment or illicit pollutants to storm drains, Line Creek, White Oak Creek, or the Chattahoochee brings stop-work orders and fines under the county ordinance. Failing to maintain a stormwater facility triggers correction notices and daily penalties.
