The Georgia summer burn ban ends October 1st.

Georgia EPD’s annual outdoor burning restrictions will be lifted October 1 in 54 counties across north and central Georgia. The restrictions have been in place since May 1 to help protect air quality during the summer ozone season.

If you plan to burn hand-piled natural vegetation or yard debris, a burn permit from the City of Byron is required. City ordinances requires specific safety precautions. That’s where SSTAR comes in curiosity of our friends at Georgia Forestry Commission.

⭐ S – Space: 50+ feet from property lines and woodlands
⭐ S – Space: 50+ feet from structures
⭐ T – Time: Sunrise to sunset
⭐ A – Attendance: Stay with the fire until it is completely extinguished
⭐ R – Reasonable Precautions: Have the tools and measures in place to prevent an escaped fire such as a water hose connected to a water supply

And remember: debris burning that gets out of control is the leading cause of wildfire in Georgia. Burners are responsible for their fires and damages caused, so check weather conditions before you light and know the rules in.

🚧 TRAFFIC ALERT: Walker Road & Kay Road Road Closure

WALKER ROAD AND KAY ROAD TO TEMPORARILY CLOSE FOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS

Due to a drainage improvement project, Walker Road and Kay Road will be closed to through traffic beginning Monday, September 14.

The closure is necessary to allow crews to safely complete drainage improvements along Walker Road and Kay Road and provide enough space to complete the work safely and efficiently.

During the closure, motorists will not be able to travel through the work areas. Detour options will be available. Drivers are encouraged to review the attached Walker Road/Kay Road detour map before traveling through the area and select the route that best accommodates their destination.

Motorists traveling near the work zone should reduce speed, stay alert for construction workers and equipment, follow all posted traffic control signage, and allow additional time for travel.

Peach County appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation while these necessary drainage improvements are completed.
