The District Engineer has concluded that the discharges associated with this project, both direct and
indirect, should be reviewed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control in
accordance with provisions of Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. As such, this notice constitutes a request, on
behalf of the applicant, for certification that this project will comply with applicable effluent limitations and water
quality standards. The District Engineer will not process this application to a conclusion until such certification is
received. The applicant is hereby advised that supplemental information may be required by the State to facilitate
the review. Persons wishing to comment or object to Water Quality Certification must submit all comments in
writing to the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control at the above address within thirty (30) days of
the date of this notice.
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the Magnuson
Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Implementation of the proposed project would impact
freshwater habitat upstream estuarine substrates and emergent wetlands utilized by various life stages of
species comprising the red drum, shrimp, and snapper-grouper management complexes. Our initial
determination is that the proposed action would not have a substantial individual or cumulative adverse impact
on EFH or fisheries managed by the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council and the National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS). Our final determination relative to project impacts and the need for mitigation
measures is subject to review by and coordination with the NMFS.
Pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (as amended), the District Engineer has
consulted the most recently available information and has determined that the project is not likely to adversely
affect any Federally endangered, threatened, or proposed species or result in the destruction or adverse
modification of designated or proposed critical habitat. This public notice serves as a request for written
concurrence from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and/or the National Marine Fisheries Service on this
determination.
Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), this public notice also
constitutes a request to Indian Tribes to notify the District Engineer of any historic properties of religious and
cultural Significance to them that may be affected by the proposed undertaking.
In accordance with the NHPA, the District Engineer has also consulted the latest published version of
the National Register of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties
listed as being eligible for inclusion therein, and this worksite is not included as a registered property or
property listed as being eligible for inclusion in the Register. To insure that other cultural resources that the
District Engineer is not aware of are not overlooked, this public notice also serves as a request to the State
Historic Preservation Office to provide any information it may have with regard to historic and cultural
resources.
Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period specified in this notice, that a public hearing
be held to consider this application. Requests for a public hearing shall state, with particularity, the reasons for
holding a public hearing.
REGULATORY DIVISION
Refer to: PIN # 2012-788-6IF
August 16, 2012
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable impact including
cumulative impacts of the activity on the public interest and will include application of the guidelines promulgated
by the Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), under authority of Section 404(b) of the Clean
Water Act and, as appropriate, the criteria established under authority of Section 102 of the Marine Protection,
Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972, as amended. That decision will reflect the national concern for both
protection and utilization of important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from
the project must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be relevant to
the project will be considered including the cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economics,
aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards,
flood plain values, land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and
conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production and, in general, the needs and welfare
of the people. A permit will be granted unless the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the
public interest. In cases of conflicting property rights, the Corps of Engineers cannot undertake to adjudicate rival
claims.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, state, and local agencies and
officials; Indian Tribes; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this activity.
Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue, modify,
condition or deny a permit for this project. To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on
endangered species, historic properties, water quality, general environmental effects, and the other public interest
factors listed above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment andlor an
Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Comments are also used to
determine the need for a public hearing and to determine the overall public interest of the activity.
If there are any questions concerning this public notice, please contact Kristin Riegel at 803-253-3903.
