SCDES is currently reviewing the application for an NPDES Stormwater permit and CZC Certification from the College of Charleston which proposes 1.6 acres of disturbance to consist of early site work preparation. Since this project site is located in a coastal county, the application requires SCDES’s Bureau of Coastal Management (BCM) to review the project for consistency with the South Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan. BCM focuses their review on managing the state’s natural, historical and cultural resources based on State and Federal legislation.
Representatives from the SC State Historic Preservation Office, the Charleston County Coroner's Office, as well as City of Charleston staff will also be in attendance.
