General Assembly will expand the Dam Safety Program to, approximately 14 full-time staff members, -almost doubling the program size. Collaborated with Emergency Communications Network to initiate their CodeRED system to allow automated notification to dam owners via voice call, text messages and email in preparation for the potential significant rainfall. This system was used during response to Hurricane Hermine in September 2016. Established a coalition of dam owners, engineers, and other…, Next Steps, The process of rebuilding and repairing affected dams will be ongoing as our experts work with each dam's unique situation.

Because South Carolina's Coastal Zone Management Program (CZMP) is federally-approved, a number of Federal Agency activities and permits are required to comply with the enforceable policies of the state's approved coastal management program. This "Federal Consistency" authority resides under the, Federal Coastal Zone Management Act (FCZMA), which was enacted on October 27, 1972, to encourage coastal states to develop comprehensive programs to manage and balance competing uses of and impacts to state's coastal resources or the uses of them.

Any industrial facility which meets these criteria are subject to State and Federal regulations to maintain water quality by monitoring and managing…, Primary SIC Code and Narrative Activities, Generally, the first step to determine permit eligibility is to determine your site’s primary SIC code. A facility’s SIC code(s) can be found on federal tax forms for the industrial facility. The federal forms which typically contain the SIC code(s) are the Schedule C or C-EZ, Form 1065, Form 1120, or Form 1120-S. Other locations to locate your SIC code are local business licenses, other…, Narrative Activities, If your facility has one of the narrative activities defined by Category i ., you must apply for permit coverage regardless of facility primary SIC code.

By definition an MS4 is a system of conveyances that include, but are not limited to, catch basins, curbs, gutters, ditches, man-made channels, pipes, tunnels, and/or storm drains that discharge into, Waters of the State, . For these conveyances or system of conveyances to be recognized as an MS4, a state, city, town, village, or other public entity must own them. These conveyances must also not be part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works and may not operate as a combined sewer. Operators of large, medium and regulated small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems are required to obtain, NPDES permit coverage, in order to discharge pollutants into Waters of the State. These designations (large, medium, and small) are based on urbanized areas as determined by the latest census. South Carolina has one (1) large MS4 - the South Carolina Department of Transportation and three (3) medium MS4s -, City of Columbia, Greenville County, and Richland County., These MS4s receive individual NPDES permits for their discharges. There are also over, 70 regulated small MS4s, in South Carolina. The operators of these may choose to receive coverage under a general permit or obtain individual permit coverage.

There are a few additional design considerations that will need to be taken into account when preparing a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for Residential Subdivisions, particularly those developing subdivisions., Residential Subdivision Guidance, Residential Disturbance Formula, Amount of Disturbance = 2[Max Restricted Building Size][Number of Lots] + Right of Way Areas *Max Restricted Building Size = Maximum Disturbed Area per Lot (Acres), Residential Note for Plans, The site is not to be mass-graded. Only 2 times the footprint is to be cleared as the lots are developed. The assumed disturbance on each lot is _____ sq. ft." One of those considerations that will affect the stormwater management plan of a Residential Subdivision Projects is the decision if the subdivision is to be mass graded or not. If the decision is made for the site not to be mass graded…, Larger Common Plan (LCP), A Larger Common Plan (LCP) is "broadly defined as any announcement or piece of documentation (including a sign, public notice or hearing, sales pitch, advertisement, drawing, permit application, zoning request, computer design, etc.) or physical demarcation (including boundary signs, lot stakes, surveyor markings, etc.) indicating construction activities may occur on a specific plot." 63 Federal…
