DHEC Rebuffed for Port Vote: The House unanimously approved legislation that reaffirmed 2007 law that the SC Department of Health and Environmental (DHEC) may not make decisions regarding our state’s waterways without input from the SC Maritime Commission. Last week I was proud to work with over 50 other members of the House who sponsored this bill calling for this action. You all have heard of the controversy swirling since DHEC's board granted Georgia a permit to dredge the Savannah River to a depth of 48 feet so they can expand their port. This action completely ignored overwhelming evidence presented by DHEC scientists that the dredging would cause irreversible environmental damage. You can tell by the vote in the SC House that legislators feel it was a horrible economic and environmental decision which placed Charleston's port at a competitive disadvantage and jeopardized the very existence of a future Jasper Ocean Terminal. When one of every five jobs in our state is directly tied to our ports, this issue is too important to ignore.
