6058 - SC Coastal Conservation League v. SCDHEC

The South Carolina Coastal Conservation League (the League) appeals the administrative law court's (ALC's) order affirming the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control's issuance of a permit to Debordieu Colony Community Association for the construction of anti-erosion groins on the beach of Debordieu Colony. The League contends the ALC erred in finding the groins would be placed in a high erosion area, erosion threatened existing structures, and the groins would not detrimentally impact the downdrift of sand to other beaches. We affirm.
