Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Information
Initially, the local sponsor
of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AIWW) within Georgia was the Georgia
Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway Commission, which was formed in 1939. In 1972,
the commission was disbanded, and its responsibilities were transferred to
the Georgia Department of Transportation. The AIWW within Georgia extends
for a distance of 137 miles from the Florida state line to the South Carolina
state line. GDOT's responsiblity consists of providing land for the upland
disposal areas used by the US Army Corps of Engineers to maintain the waterway.
GDOT currently provides 98 disposal areas along the length of the AIWW within
Georgia.
