The S.C. Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) invites residents to attend an upcoming meeting to review and provide comments about the draft Santee River Basin Plan.
The draft plan was developed over a 10-month period by the Santee River Basin Council, a working group of stakeholders with water interests in the basin, under the guidance of the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework that was published in 2019. The plan is the seventh of eight River Basin Plans completed over the last four years for each of the eight planning basins in the state. The draft Santee River Basin Plan includes an assessment of current and future water availability in the basin and documents water management strategies that can help ensure water is available for all future uses in the basin for the next 50 years.
The public meeting is 5:30 p.m. - 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18 at the Auditorium at Santee Cooper’s Main Office, 1 Riverwood Drive, Moncks Corner, SC. (Directions via Google Maps).
The Nov. 18 public meeting will serve as a venue for presenting the draft plan to the basin’s stakeholders and for soliciting comments about it. Public comments will be accepted from Nov. 18 through Dec. 17; comment submission instructions are at the website noted above.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive early to meet River Basin Council members and enjoy light refreshments beginning at 5:30 p.m.
