Strengthening SC’s Water Protections& Industrial Oversight

From "Welcome to The South Carolina Forum!"

Go to the project

SC has some of the weakest water‑protection laws in the nation and lacks: • environmental‑review for chemical‑using industries • cumulative‑impact analysis • groundwater & surface‑water protections • industrial water‑use disclosure • real‑time spill alerts • buffer zones near schools & waterways • a statewide water‑outage dashboard • limits on high‑consumption industrial withdrawals • basin‑wide and intrastate river‑monitoring requirements

I agree especially now when the federal government has rolled back many EPA protections. Keep SC clean and beautiful for many years to come for our children and grandchildren!
