TO APPROVE REGULATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL, RELATING TO CLASSIFIED WATERS, DESIGNATED AS REGULATION DOCUMENT NUMBER 3025, PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 1, CHAPTER 23, TITLE 1 OF THE 1976 CODE.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
SECTION 1. The regulations of the Department of Health and Environmental Control, relating to Classified Waters, designated as Regulation Document Number 3025, and submitted to the General Assembly pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, Chapter 23, Title 1 of the 1976 Code, are approved.
SECTION 2. This joint resolution takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
This amendment of R.61-69 will reclassify those waters located within the boundary of the Congaree National Park to Outstanding Resource Waters (ORWs) and a portion of Cedar Creek located within the boundary of the park as an Outstanding National Resource Water (ONRW). Congaree National Park protects the largest and last significant tract of old-growth bottomland hardwood forest in the United States and has been designated as an International Biosphere Reserve, a Globally Important Bird Area, a National Natural Landmark, a Congressionally Designated Wilderness Area, and nominated as a Wetlands of International Importance. The waters within the park provide for and support this valuable floodplain forest ecosystem.
