JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under former Code Section 12-8-26 are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Negligence action not available for breach of duty imposed by section.

- Even if this statute were construed as imposing a general duty of safety beyond the primary duty of minimizing any environmental hazards, there is still no statutory authorization for a negligence action based on a breach of that duty. Dinsmore v. Cherokee County, 177 Ga. App. 93, 338 S.E.2d 523 (1985) (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 12-8-26).
