Delivered to the public works department prior to entering onto the subject tract, if possible, but in no event later than 24 hours after entering onto said tract; and

(b)

In such form and containing such information as set forth in O.C.G.A. § 12-6-24(b)(1). Notice shall be effective only as to the tract described therein upon receipt by the public works department (as confirmed by written acknowledgment from said public works department to the timber harvester) and compliance with all other applicable requirements of this article. Such notice may be given in person, by transmission of an electronic record via tele facsimile, e-mail, or such other means as approved by the governing authority of the county, or by mail.
