McIntosh County RV Park Permitting

Civil Design, Consulting, & Inspections 

McIntosh County engaged RCE to design and permit a public RV park, including a public water system to serve it, with the park intended to be owned and operated by the County as a recreational amenity open to public use. As the water system neared the end of the permitting process, it was discovered that the existing well sat too close to the adjacent property line, prompting the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD) to require a restrictive easement from the neighboring property owner prohibiting any construction within 500 feet of the well.

Rather than initiate what could have been a lengthy and uncertain negotiation with the adjacent owner, our team approached the constraint through targeted due diligence — ultimately identifying a legal instrument already in place on the neighboring property that satisfied EPD’s underlying intent and allowed the project to move forward.

MISSION:

  • Design and permit a public RV park to be owned and operated by McIntosh County for public use

  • Design and permit a public water system to serve the park in accordance with GA EPD standards
  • Navigate regulatory permitting requirements with practical, defensible solutions

  • Resolve permitting obstacles efficiently while minimizing cost and delay to the County

  • Support the County’s goal of delivering a public recreational amenity to the community

SUCCESS:

  • Designed and permitted the RV park and its accompanying public water system for County ownership and public use

  • Identified a well setback issue during water system permitting, where the existing well sat too close to the adjacent property line

  • Addressed GA EPD’s requirement for a restrictive easement prohibiting construction within 500 feet of the well on the neighboring property

  • Conducted due diligence that revealed the adjacent parcel was a hunting club — and, drawing on past project experience, recognized it was likely subject to an existing conservation easement
  • Located and obtained a copy of the conservation easement deed through publicly available records

  • Demonstrated to GA EPD that the conservation easement’s land-use restrictions were more stringent than, and exceeded the intent of, the required restrictive easement

  • Secured GA EPD’s acceptance of the existing conservation easement in lieu of a newly negotiated restrictive easement, avoiding delay and the need for adjacent-owner negotiation

  • Completed permitting of the McIntosh County RV Park for public access
