Industrial Siting, Chemical Safety, & Basin‑Level Oversight

SC has no consistent statewide standards for siting or regulating industrial facilities that use hazardous chemicals. When counties ignore BZA rulings, schools & neighborhoods face preventable risk. With no federal lifecycle rules for solar manufacturing, communities rely on inconsistent local decisions. SC needs statewide environmental evaluations, basin‑level reviews for already stressed river systems, clear chemical/wastewater standards, transparent MGD reporting for high‑demand users, stormwater oversight, & a public water‑mgmt. outage dashboard.
