Take Action

Sign Now for a Cleaner Chattahoochee River

The Chattahoochee River is the lifeblood of metro Atlanta, supplying over 70 percent of the region’s drinking water and offering countless outdoor adventures: swimming, fishing, kayaking, and hiking. But this vital resource needs your voice to ensure its continued recovery from pollution.

Right now, the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD) is considering stronger water quality standards for the Chattahoochee River. This decision could significantly impact the health of the river and the communities that depend on it—but the EPD needs to hear from you today.

The window to make an impact on the EPDs decision is closing. Your input could shape the future of the Chattahoochee, safeguarding it for generations to come.

Urge the Georgia EPD to strengthen protections for the Chattahoochee River. Together, we can secure cleaner water and a thriving river for everyone.

By taking action, you will receive important updates about our work and how you can help Trust for Public Land protect public land and parks for people.

RE: Support Georgia Rules for Water Quality Control changes

As an avid supporter of public lands and your constituent, I urge you to support the proposed changes to the Georgia Rules for Water Quality Control and the new recreation-designated use segment of the Chattahoochee River from Sweetwater Creek to Snake Creek.

This proposal will bring critical benefits to our community. By designating 42 miles of the Chattahoochee River for recreation, the water quality standards will be elevated, ensuring cleaner, safer water for everyone. These improved standards will also help make the vision for the Chattahoochee RiverLands a reality, creating more opportunities for access and recreation along one of Georgia's most cherished waterways.

The Chattahoochee River is more than just a natural resource; it's a vital part of our heritage, economy, and way of life. Your leadership is essential in protecting and enhancing this incredible landscape.

Thank you for considering this important action to protect a truly special part of our natural heritage.
