Kiawah Development v. Scdhec

Summary

The South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the Administrative Law Court’s order in part, deleting the authorization for a 2,513‑foot vertical bulkhead without a revetment and leaving intact the 270‑foot bulkhead and revetment that protect Beachwalker Park. The Court held that the bulkhead‑only structure was not supported by substantial evidence and that the remaining portion of the order complied with statutory and public‑trust requirements.
