Public Hearing - June 10, 2009
There will be a public hearing on Kiawah Development Partners
request for a stormwater permit on June 10, 6:30pm at the Berkeley
Electric Coop offices on Maybank Highway, Johns Island. As reported
on
page 1 of the June TALK, the permit request is for construction
of a 300 foot corrugated steel bulkhead on the Kiawah River.
If granted, the permit would allow construction of an approximately
900 foot loong access road extending southeast from the end of
Beachwalker Drive. The bulkhead would be composed of 4.5 foot wide
sections of sheet pile driven 35 feet into the river bed on a bend
of the Kiawah River. SCDHEC-OCRM has not determined either the
existence of or extent of the erosion. The Critical Area Regulations
define bulkhead as a retaining wall designed to retain fill
material, but not to withstand wave forces on an exposed shoreline.
