This project was issued a license in 1984, which included a review of the Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) every five years. This was the first license in which FERC incorporated a review of the SMP. FERC required South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G) to include all lands under its ownership within 200 feet of the high water mark to be included in the project boundary. A 75-foot buffer zone was established within this 200-foot boundary which placed restrictions on vegetation clearing, prevented SCE&G from selling lands within this strip, and required public access within this zone. Since the issuance of this license, SCE&G had gradually been selling off project lands behind the 75-foot buffer and within the 200-foot project boundary. They are allowed to sell up to 50 acres per year. Local zoning does not require a minimum lot size, but recently SCE&G complied with pressure from the Department of Natural Resources and instituted a policy of requiring 100 feet of shoreline for a dock permit which had lead to lot widths of 100 feet or more. SCE&G recently proposed to donate to the state of South Carolina a 100-foot wide buffer zone along approximately 100 miles of shoreline, 4,000 acres for forestry and game management, and additional lands for a new state park. Under this arrangement, SCE&G would receive tax credits for the donated lands and project lands beyond the 100-foot buffer would be removed from the project boundary. Negotiations have been halted at this time, but it is likely that a similar negotiated agreement will be part of SCE&G's license application. The project is due for license renewal in 2007.
