Because of Brantly County forest fires in southwestern Georgia, all field work was temporarily suspended in early May 2026. After the suspension was lifted, field work was completed on May 18th, 2026. Within the basins selected for inspection, 1,069,148 feet of mainline smoke was tested. A total of 1123 defects were located during the smoke testing, and these are summarized below by defect type and area.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"320\" data-end=\"507\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-06-094135.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-81805\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Screenshot-2026-07-06-094135.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"665\" height=\"490\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"320\" data-end=\"507\">Each smoke defect was reviewed, and a repair recommendation was created. These recommendations were assigned a priority ranking of 1 to 3 based on the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"320\" data-end=\"507\">Priority 1 defects are recommended to be repaired first, and these are typically located in<br \/>\nlocations subject to larger amounts of runoff such as depressions, ditches, area drains or<br \/>\nstormwater structures.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"320\" data-end=\"507\">Priority 2 repair recommendations generally include manhole covers in streets, cleanout<br \/>\ndefects in yards, and similar inflow sources.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"320\" data-end=\"507\">Priority 3 is assigned to smoke defects that are likely to contribute the least amount of<br \/>\ninflow but still should be considered for repair. These defects may be above grade and<br \/>\nnot subject to runoff during a typical rain event but could still contribute extraneous flows<br \/>\nthrough direct rainfall or during extreme events that may cause flooding around the<br \/>\ndefect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldenisleslepc.org\/departments\/office-of-the-director\/annual-goals\/\">Annual Goals Page<\/a> to stay informed on the progress of each defect repair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English and Spanish Versions are Provided Below \u2013 A continuaci\u00f3n se proporcionan versiones en ingl\u00e9s y espa\u00f1ol.
