Revised DHEC OCRM Lines
As many of you may recall in March and April of 2009, OCRM produced 40 year set back lines that were moved inward and threatened many ocean front structures. After attending public hearings and hiring beach consultant Dr. Tim Kana of Coastal Science and Engineering, the Town worked vigilantly with OCRM to have them reevaluate the proposed lines. The Town’s consultant provided compelling scientific data that questioned the validity of OCRM’s proposed 40 year set back lines. OCRM deferred any decision on Kiawah Set back lines until now.
On October 19th, they produced the following statement: After careful reconsideration of all the available shoreline information, OCRM has concluded that the 1854 shoreline, which as originally used to calculate the revised erosion rates for Kiawah Island, is not scientifically valid and should not be included in the analysis. The long-term erosion rates and 40-year setback line position have been re-calculated excluding this 1854 shoreline, resulting in lower erosion rates and a more seaward 40-year setback line position along Eugenia Ave. on Kiawah Island. As a result, no existing structures will be affected by the new 40-year setback line in this area.
