Overview
River basin planning activities in the Santee river basin have been initiated under the guidance of the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework. Two public meetings were hosted by the SCDES on October 7th, 2024, at Phillips Market Center in West Columbia, SC and on October 10th, 2024, at Trident Technical College in North Charleston, SC to kick-off planning activities (presentations given at each meeting can be accessed on the RBC meetings page). An overview of the South Carolina State Water Planning Framework was provided to stakeholders in the basin, and applications to serve on the Santee River Basin Council were solicited. The Santee River Basin Council was appointed in November 2024 and meetings are scheduled to begin in December 2024. Meeting agendas, presentations, recordings, and summaries can be accessed here.
