South Carolina: Critical-area authorization before coastal work quantities
SCDES Bureau of Coastal Management reviews alterations to coastal waters and tidelands critical areas, including pipelines, dredging, shoreline structures and access works. Critical Area Line services help establish the upland/critical-area boundary.
Sitework Estimate provides remote, plan-based quantity takeoff support. This page does not establish a local office, completed local project, engineering approval or permit coverage.
What this changes in the bid review
Estimating interpretation: Do not extend an upland earthwork quantity into coastal waters on the strength of a general site plan. Measure the permitted footprint and include only the access and restoration assigned by its approved documents.
