DIVISION 9. SPECIAL POLLUTION ABATEMENT PERMITS
§ 8-105 GENERAL.
   (a)   A Special Pollution Abatement Permit is required when development or re-development occurs within a watershed that drains to a waterbody listed as impaired by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control or has an established total maximum daily load (TMDL) developed and implemented for a pollutant(s) of concern to ensure that effective best management practices are used to control water quality for these waterbodies. A Special Pollution Abatement Permit will be valid for a period of 5 years, at which point it must be renewed. At the time of renewal, any deficiencies in the control of the targeted pollutants or management method must be corrected. Any development that occurs without a required permit shall be a violation of this chapter of the code.
   (b)   Development in other areas known to have particular adverse water quality pollutant impacts may be required to comply with this section at the discretion of the Director. Areas that qualify have been identified by sampling and monitoring results and are given as priority areas for water quality treatment. Outstanding resource waters may also qualify for compliance under this section for protection of their classification.
(Ord. 4281, passed 5-5-2009; Ord. 4698, passed 5-5-2015)

§ 8-107 APPROVAL OF STRUCTURAL TREATMENT DEVICES.
