Long County accepts $15,000 settlement and corrective plan in unpermitted land‑disturbance case

Following closed‑session discussions on Nov. 18, the Long County Board of Commissioners accepted a settlement in a land‑disturbance enforcement case involving Justin Webb and JAWS Services LLC.

County legal counsel presented terms requiring the respondent to pay $15,000 within 15 days, immediately cease all non‑compliant activity, install temporary erosion control measures, and submit a corrective‑action plan prepared by certified professionals to restore and stabilize the site in accordance with state and county standards. The agreement also requires progress and completion reports, removal of buried debris, compliance with permitting, and verification of work by qualified erosion control professionals.

Commissioner Gerald Blocker moved to accept the settlement; Commissioner Jeremy Hall seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The commission did not provide public details about the underlying investigative record during open session; the settlement terms and compliance obligations were presented by county counsel.
