Compare each cited field to the official PDF before relying on it. What this means

Regional coastal Georgia supplement (facilitated by Chatham County–Savannah MPC), not a City of Savannah ordinance. Jurisdiction level coded as other because the CSS applies across the multi-county Coastal NPS Management Area and Area of Special Interest. Supplements the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual (GSMM); CSS controls on conflict—schema has no 'supplements' enum so relationship_to_state_manual is independent. Pipeline excerpt repair removed 5 unlocated citation(s).

In coastal Georgia, this equates to reducing the stormwater runoff volume generated by the 1.2 inch rainfall event (and the stormwater runoff generated by the first 1.2 inches of all larger rainfall events).
