    EDISTO BEACH COASTAL STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION GENERAL INVESTIGATION STUDY APPENDIX F BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT COASTAL STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION GENERAL INVESTIGATION STUDY EDISTO BEACH, COLLETON COUNTY SOUTH CAROLINA January 2014 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION Edisto Beach is a barrier island located at the mouth of the Edisto River in Colleton and Charleston Counties, South Carolina, approximately 45 miles southwest of Charleston, South Carolina and approximately 20 miles east-northeast of Beaufort, South Carolina (see Figure 1). The incorporated Town of Edisto Beach is located on the island, as is Edisto Beach State Park. The specific study area (See Figure 2) includes Edisto Beach, two Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) zones (the Edisto Complex (Unit M09) to the northeast and Otter Island (Unit M10) to the southwest), and the coastal Atlantic Ocean waters where offshore borrow investigations will be conducted and potential borrow areas will be identified and located. The Town of Edisto Beach and Edisto Beach State Park are part of Edisto Island. They are separated from the main body of Edisto Island by Big Bay Creek, Scott Creek, and the associated salt marsh to the northwest and Jeremy Inlet to the northeast. The Town of Edisto Beach and Edisto Beach State Park are also bounded by the South Edisto River and St. Helena Sound to the southwest and the Atlantic Ocean to the southeast. The maximum width at the southern end of this portion of Edisto Island is approximately 1.5 miles, while the northern end is much narrower. The Town of Edisto Beach occupies the central and southern portions of the island and is generally separated from Edisto Beach State Park by State Highway 174, which provides the only access to the island.

EPA has determined that each of the water quality limited segments still requiring Total Maximum Daily Loads identified on the State's 2008 list meets the requirements of the CWA Section 303( d) and its implementing regulations, 40 CFR 130.7. EPA hereby approves the State of South Carolina's decision to include each of the waters designated by the State in its 2008 303( d) list. Enclosed for your information is the accompanying decision document for this approval action. Appendix C of the enclosed decision document contains 23 waters of concern for which EPA is not acting on at this time. These waters were submitted based on a preliminary assessment method that has recently been modified in the State's monitoring program so that more representative data can be obtained. Listing determinations for these waters should be included in the 2010 303(d) list submittal.

  • South Carolina Habitat Plan for American Shad
    SOUTH CAROLINA HABITAT PLAN FOR AMERICAN SHAD South Carolina Department of Natural Resources April 2021 Approved May 5, 2021 Introduction: The purpose of this Habitat Plan is to briefly document existing conditions in rivers with American shad runs, identify potential threats, and propose action to mitigate such threats. American shad (Alosa sapidissima) are found in at least 19 rivers of South Carolina (Waccamaw, Great Pee Dee, Little Pee Dee, Lynches, Black, Sampit, Bull Creek, Santee, Cooper, Wateree, Congaree, Broad, Wando, Ashley, Ashepoo, Combahee, Edisto, Coosawhatchie, and Savannah Rivers). Many have historically supported a commercial fishery, a recreational fishery, or both. Currently, commercial fisheries exist in Winyah Bay, Waccamaw, Pee Dee, Black, Santee, Edisto, Combahee, and Savannah Rivers, while the Sampit, Ashepoo, Ashley, and Cooper rivers no longer support commercial fisheries. With the closure of the ocean-intercept fishery beginning in 2005, the Santee River and Winyah Bay complex comprise the largest commercial shad fisheries in South Carolina. Recreational fisheries still exist in the Cooper, Savannah, Edisto, and Combahee Rivers, as well as the Santee River Rediversion Canal. For the purposes of this plan, systems have been identified which, in some cases, include several rivers. Only river systems with active shad runs were included in this plan, these include the Pee Dee River run in the Winyah Bay System (primarily the Waccamaw and Great Pee Dee Rivers), the Santee-Cooper system (Santee and Cooper Rivers with the inclusion of Lakes Moultrie and Marion), and the ACE Basin (Edisto and Combahee Rivers) (Figure 1). A joint plan with Georgia was submitted and approved for the Savannah River.

  • Journal Senate State of South Carolina
    NO. 58 JOURNAL OF THE SENATE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA REGULAR SESSION BEGINNING TUESDAY, JANUARY 9, 2018 _________ TUESDAY, APRIL 17, 2018 Tuesday, April 17, 2018 (Statewide Session) Indicates Matter Stricken Indicates New Matter The Senate assembled at 2:00 P.M., the hour to which it stood adjourned, and was called to order by the PRESIDENT. A quorum being present, the proceedings were opened with a devotion by the Chaplain as follows: Deuteronomy 32:7 “Remember the days of old, consider the years long past; ask your father, he will inform you; your elders, and they will tell you.” Let us pray. Gracious and loving God, Sunday night six candles were lit in a synagogue in remembrance of 11 million people. These people were systematically exterminated in Nazi concentration camps during WW2: men, women, children and infants. Six million of them were Jews. These innocent people were killed for no other reason than their race or their beliefs. This was evil on a scale beyond comprehension. It is, therefore, our moral imperative, O God, to never forget, to never cease telling this tragedy to our children and to their children. Can this tragedy against humankind happen again? Most assuredly, but not if we, Your people, always treasure and protect the freedoms we have in this country. May each generation, O God, stand up for this freedom and may each generation remember those who fought and those who fell, protecting our precious right to be free -- free to raise our children without fear in a country where we believe that “all people are created equal”.

  • Section 303(D) List of Impaired Waters
    State of South Carolina Integrated Report for 2016 Part I: Section 303(d) List of Impaired Waters May 25, 2016 (Amended August 24, 2016, March 1, 2017 and January 24, 2018) The State of South Carolina’s 2016 Integrated Report Part I: Listing of Impaired Waters INTRODUCTION The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (Department) developed this priority list of waters pursuant to Section §303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and Federal Regulation 40 CFR 130.7 last revised in 1992. The listing identifies South Carolina waters that do not currently meet State water quality standards after application of required controls for point and nonpoint source pollutants. Updated use attainment determinations were made using water quality data collected from 2010-2014. The classified uses of waters and a number of other factors were considered in establishing priorities and targets. The list will be used to consider waters for further investigation, additional monitoring, and water quality improvement measures, including Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Over the past three decades, impacts from point sources to waters have been substantially reduced through point source controls achieved via National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Since 1990, steady progress in controlling nonpoint source impacts has also been made through implementation of South Carolina’s Nonpoint Source Management Program. In conjunction with TMDL development and implementation, the continued expansion and promotion of these and other state and local water quality improvement programs are expected to be effective in reducing the number of impaired waters. In compliance with 40 CFR 25.4(c), the Department, beginning April 1, 2016, commenced a minimum 30-day public notice in statewide newspapers, to ensure broad notice of the Department's intent to update its list of impaired waters.

Over the past three decades, impacts from point sources to waters have been substantially reduced through point source controls achieved via National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Since 1990, steady progress in controlling nonpoint source impacts has also been made through implementation of South Carolina’s Nonpoint Source Management Program. In conjunction with TMDL development and implementation, the continued expansion and promotion of these and other state and local water quality improvement programs are expected to be effective in reducing the number of impaired waters. In compliance with 40 CFR 25.4(c), the Department, beginning November 5, 2018, commenced a minimum 30-day public notice to ensure broad notice of the Department's intent to update its list of impaired waters.
