sites		 Turbidity readings and bacteria samples are being collected at the Chattahoochee River at Medlock Bridge Road, the Chattahoochee River at Johnson's Ferry Road, and at the Chattahoochee River at Paces Ferry Road. Due to the September 2009 epic flooding, samples are being collected for a limited time period at the Chattahoochee River at Ga 280.
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Areas are green CRNRA The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) includes the Chattahoochee River downstream from Buford Dam to the mouth of Peachtree Creek and a series of park areas adjacent to the river. The National Park Service manages the CRNRA and most of the public access points to the Chattahoochee River are at CRNRA park units.
