To: Stefanie Nagid, Beaufort County

From: Jackson B. Cox, BCM Coastal Zone Consistency Division

Applicant: Stefanie Nagid, Beaufort County

Project Name: Beaufort County Pritcher Point Stormwater Improvement

Finding: Conditionally Consistent with the SC Coastal Zone Management Program

Site Location: North Of Pritcher Point Road, Okatie, Beaufort County, South Carolina (TMS#:

The staff of the Bureau of Coastal Management (BCM) reviewed the above referenced Coastal Zone Consistency project request for land disturbance associated with a stormwater management project. Construction activities include a reinforced concrete pipe and aggregate road crossing. Stormwater management is conducted via the installation of new stormwater infrastructure and BMPs. The total area of disturbance will be 0.50 acres of a 91.50-acre project site.

We hereby certify that the above referenced project is Conditionally Consistent with the Guidelines for Evaluation of All Projects as well as the Transportation Facilities (Roads and Highways) and Stormwater Management (Runoff) policies contained in the S.C. Coastal Zone Management Program provided the following conditions are included in the permits and adhered to by the applicant.

1. In the event that any historic or cultural resources and/or archaeological materials are found during the course of work, the applicant must notify the State Historic Preservation Office and the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology. Historic or cultural resources consist of those sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places and those sites that are eligible for the National Register. Archaeological materials consist of any items, fifty years old or older, which were made or used by man. These items include, but are not limited to, stone projectile points (arrowheads), ceramic sherds, bricks, worked wood, bone and stone, metal and glass objects, and human skeletal materials.

2. The project must be consistent with State Stormwater Permitting requirements during and post construction for protection of water quality.

3. All construction BMPs must be installed, inspected and maintained to hold sediment onsite and to protect any adjacent or downstream critical area, wetlands and waters through the life of the project. Upon completion of construction activities, all disturbed (including undeveloped) areas, including those impacted for access, must be immediately stabilized.

4. The project must be fully consistent with local zoning and comprehensive plans prior to work being conducted.

5. The applicant is not authorized to impact any wetlands. In the event any impacts to wetlands occur, the US Army Corps of Engineers and SCDES-BCM must be notified, and all work must cease to minimize additional impacts until the applicant receives authorization.

This determination shall serve as the SCDES BCM Coastal Zone Consistency Determination for the work described above. However, this determination does not serve as a Department permitting decision and does not alleviate the applicant’s responsibility to obtain any applicable State or Federal permit(s) for the work. Local government authorizations may also be required.
