What coastal construction control line (cccl) actually means.
The Coastal Construction Control Line is established by the Georgia Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Properties seaward of the CCCL require a CCCL permit from DEP in addition to county building permits, with engineering specific to wind, wave, and storm-surge loads. East-of-A1A properties in Lake Burton and east-of-US-1 in Clayton commonly cross the CCCL.
