Charleston County land disturbance permit and stormwater help
These businesses list Charleston County in their service area. Featured listings are ads and are labeled.
In SC, construction that disturbs 1 acre or more, or is part of a larger plan that will, needs state stormwater permit coverage before work starts, and some counties and cities also have their own land disturbance permit. The box below shows who SCDES lists as the plan reviewer in Charleston County.
