Sample Letter to the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control


A developer is moving ahead with his plans to develop Morris Island. Recently he applied for a state permit to allow 20 wells and septic tanks on 62 acres on Cummings Point. We need to let DHEC know that we oppose this inappropriate permit request. Please send DHEC a letter opposing the permit application and requesting that a public hearing be held on this matter. Please send your comments now --- letters must be received by March 8, 2004.

Together we can save Morris Island!

Here's a sample letter requesting a public hearing (also attached). You may use it, or compose your own letter.

S.C. Dept. of Health & Environmental Control
Attn: Subdivision Supervisor
4045 Bridgeview Drive, Suite 154
North Charleston, SC 29405

Reference: # 450-00-00-013

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inform you of my opposition to the Cummings Point, LLC permit application for 20 wells and septic tanks on Morris Island. There is insufficient high ground to accommodate the proposed development, and if this permit is granted, our coast will be subjected to fecal coliform contamination. Furthermore, the Charleston County Comprehensive Plan calls for only 2 units to be built on the proposed property.

I ask that a public hearing be held on this request before any action is taken by your department. I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible regarding my request, especially in the event there is an opportunity to appeal or intervene to prevent this inappropriate development.


Sincerely,
