Public Meeting for Santee River Basin Planning Activities

The South Carolina Department of Environmental Control (SCDES) is holding two public meetings to kick-off river basin planning activities in the lower Santee River Basin. The meetings will serve as an opportunity to engage with the public about water planning and to seek volunteers interested in serving on a council that will develop and implement the water plan for the Santee basin. 

During the public meetings, an overview of the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework will be presented and applications for the Santee River Basin Council will be solicited. Similar information will be presented at each meeting. 

For more information about SCDES’s role with the South Carolina Water Planning Framework that will help guide water management in state’s eight major planning basins over the next 50 years, visit des.sc.gov/hydrology. Specific information about the Santee Basin Planning Activities is available on the Santee Basin Planning webpage.
