As promised in a previous post, I am reviewing the recently passed Water Resource Development Act for projects and studies in each state.
I found this morning that there were 100 million dollars worth of projects allocated for South Carolina. Most of the projects (9 out of 13) were along the South Carolina coast. Here is a map of the locations.
