********************************************************************
1. Legislative Update
HB 214: After much hard work, the Senate said no to development on the south
end of Jekyll Island by passing Sen. Jeff Chapman’s (R-Brunswick) amendments
to HB 214 and defeating those offered by Sen. Ross Tolleson (R-Perry). As
passed, HB 214 does the following:
· Protects the south end of the island from new development
· Prevents any portion of the island from being transferred from state to private ownership
· Establishes a new legislative oversight committee and allows this committee to stay changes to the Jekyll Island Authority’s master plan.
· Extends the Jekyll Island Authority lease of the island from the state for another 40 years.
The bill now goes to the Governor to sign.
HB 500: Rep. Harry Geisinger (R-Roswell) introduced House Bill 500 to amend the Coastal Marshlands Protection Act of 1970 (CMPA) by requiring a buffer zone of 50 feet between the marshlands and new development. Majority Leader Jerry Keen (R - St. Simons Island) tabled the bill without a hearing, but the Georgia Water Coalition (GWC) will work to keep the pressure on Rep. Keen to revisit HB 500 next year.
HB 463: The Georgia Water Coalition brokered a compromise on Rep. Tom McCall’s (R-Elberton) House Bill 463 that kept the integrity of the erosion and sedimentation education requirements for developers, contractors, and others involved in land disturbing activity intact.
SB 200 and SR 309-Private Cities: The proposals to allow local governments to approve the creation of Independent Development Districts or “private cities”, Senate Bill 200 and Senate Resolution 309 passed the House in the late hours of the last night of the session. The measures must be approved on the November 2008 ballot, and if approved, developers will be given the power to issue municipal bonds, a form of public financing, to cover the costs of on-site infrastructure for large, private residential communities. This development will place further constraints on clean water supplies statewide.
Sally Bethea, Upper Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, kicked off the Department of Natural Resources Board by the Georgia Senate: The Department of Natural Resources Board makes critical decisions regarding the preservation and protection of our waterways and land. Ms. Bethea is the third advocate for our natural resources to be removed from the Department of Natural Resources Board in the past five months. The two others, Sara Clark and Ralph Callaway, were also recently removed. Ms. Bethea's dismissal, along with the others, sends a clear message: too many of our politicians are working with big business and developers to silence voices calling for cleaner air and water in Georgia. Three Senators from southeast Georgia, Senator Tommie Williams (Lyons), Senator Eric Johnson (Savannah), and Senator Jack Hill (Reidsville) were on the Senate committee that ignored Governor Perdue'sappointment and struck Sally Bethea's name from his list of appointees. Let these senators and the Governor know that you want a DNR board that will protect and preserve clean air and water.

3. Level 2 Drought Declared Statewide
Based on comments heard during the April 18 Drought Response Committee meeting,
EPD Director Dr. Carol Couch declared a Level 2 drought statewide. The comments
followed substantive presentations on climatic and water resource indicators,
in particular rainfall, soil conditions, groundwater levels, and stream flow
by the state climatologist and EPD staff. The data demonstrated an overall
pattern of persistent and progressive drought conditions particularly in
the northwest and southeast parts of Georgia. Under the Level 2 outdoor water-use
schedule, watering is allowed only from midnight to 10:00 am on Sundays,
Tuesdays and Thursdays at odd-number street addresses and on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Saturdays at even-number addresses. Watering is banned all day on Fridays.
To get updated drought information follow this link: www.georgiadrought.org.
For tips on water conservation, visit www.conservewatergeorgia.net. Dr. Couch
will reconvene the Committee in one month to re-assess the conditions and
drought management strategy.

7. IRS Updates That Affect Groups Making Under $25,000
From GuideStar: Next year, many nonprofits that don't file a 990 will need
to start filing an "e-Postcard," and in 2010, organizations that
have neglected to file their annual returns or e-Postcards will start losing
their exemptions. The IRS has announced the next round of changes required
by the Pension Protection Act of 2006: smaller nonprofits will be required
to file Form 990-N starting in 2008, and organizations that fail to file
Form 990, 990-EZ, 990-PF, or 990-N for three consecutive years will lose
their tax exemptions. Starting next year, an organization that does not file
IRS Form 990 or 990-EZ because its income is $25,000 or less will have to
file Form 990-N, the "Electronic Notice (e-Postcard) for Tax-Exempt
Organizations Not Required to File Form 990 or 990-EZ." Read more at

10. Group Spotlight – Satilla Riverkeeper
The Satilla Riverkeeper would like your help in eradicating the invasive and destructive flathead catfish from the Satilla River. Thanks to the work of Senator Greg Goggans during the 2006 legislative session, and the folks at the Georgia Wildlife Federation, the DNR budget includes an item that will kick off a project to remove the flathead catfish from the Satilla River. Flathead catfish are not native to Atlantic slope drainages, such as the Satilla, and have been introduced by irresponsible individuals. They have pressed immense destruction on native sunfish populations, particularly redbreasts, native catfish populations, and other native fishes. The DNR-WRD Fisheries office in Waycross is doing much to work on the flathead problem, and has begun by tagging individual fish in order to study the removal efficiency of their later work, as well as to collect information on fish movement and fish removal by anglers. You can help too. Not only can you return tags from any marked flatheads you encounter, but if you wish to help with some of the field efforts that DNR is involved in, get in touch with the Satilla Riverkeeper office for more information. Volunteers with pickup trucks and jon boats would be especially useful. Contact the Satilla Riverkeeper for more information: riverkeeper@satillariverkeeper.org

deadlines to submit proposals. To view grant makers that give throughout
the year, visit our website at http://www.garivers.org/resources/tools/grants.html.
Conservation Alliance funds projects that seek to protect a specific wild land or waterway for its habitat and recreational values. The campaign should engage grassroots citizen action in support of the conservation effort. They do not fund general education or scientific research projects. All projects should be quantifiable with specific goals, objectives, and action plans, and should include a clear measure for evaluating success. The project should have a good chance of closure or significant measurable results over a fairly short term (one to three years). To apply, you must have a member of Alliance first nominate you. Nominations due May 1 and November 1 annually. You can learn more at the website: http://www.conservationalliance.com/grants/how_to_apply.
The Georgia-Pacific Foundation supports a wide range of organizations that improve the quality of life in communities where Georgia-Pacific operates, and where company employees live and work. (A map of the Georgia-Pacific facilities and locations is available online at: www.gp.com/facilitydirectory/index.asp.) The Foundation’s areas of interest include: education, community enrichment, and the environment. Grant applications are accepted between January 1 and October 31, annually. Visit http://www.gp.com/center/community/index.html.
The Kodak American Greenways Awards Program, a partnership project of the Eastman Kodak Company, The Conservation Fund, and the National Geographic Society, provides small grants to stimulate the planning and design of greenways in communities throughout America. The application period for the Kodak American Greenways Awards Program runs from March 1 through June 1 each year. Applications will only be accepted online. Grant recipients are selected according to criteria that include: * Importance of the project to local greenway development efforts, * Demonstrated community support for the project * Extent to which the grant will result in matching funds or other support from public or private sources, * Likelihood of tangible results, * Capacity of the organization to complete the project. Grants may be used for activities such as: mapping, ecological assessments, surveying, conferences, and design activities; developing brochures, interpretative displays, audio-visual productions or public opinion surveys; hiring consultants, incorporating land trusts, building a foot bridge, planning a bike path, or other creative projects. In general, grants can be used for all appropriate expenses needed to complete a greenway project including planning, technical assistance, legal and other costs. Grants may not be used for academic research, general institutional support, lobbying, or political activities. Awards will primarily go to local, regional, or statewide nonprofit organizations. Although public agencies may also apply, community organizations will receive preference. The maximum grant is $2,500. However, most grants range from $500 to $1,500.
