§ 8-315. Jurisdiction in Chatham County; approval of projects by Georgia Ports Authority.

The scope and jurisdiction of the authority shall extend throughout the County of Chatham, but shall not conflict with or supersede the authority of the Mayor and Aldermen, the county commissioners or the Georgia Ports Authority. The port authority shall not undertake any project for the construction or acquisition of any wharves, docks, piers, quays or similar structures for public use along that portion of the shores or over that portion of the waters of the harbor and port of Savannah which are under the jurisdiction of the Georgia Ports Authority without first notifying the Georgia Ports Authority; and the Georgia Ports Authority shall have the right of refusing to approve such project, and may require, as a prerequisite to its consideration and approval, the submission to it by the district authority of an analysis, in such form as it may prescribe of said project. If the Georgia Ports Authority shall disapprove any such project, after such analysis has been submitted and considered by it, the port authority is prohibited from proceeding therewith.
