Information for Coastal Decision Makers

The CWSEC was formed to help local municipalities in Horry and Georgetown Counties satisfy two of the six minimum control measures mandated by the EPA Phase II NPDES Program. These two measures are: (1) Public Education and Outreach, and (2) Public Participation and Involvement.

In addition to general public education, the CWSEC educates local stormwater managers, stormwater engineers, public works staff, and elected and appointed officials in the target municipalities who make decisions that impact local stormwater practices.

In this section, you will find more information about how the CWSEC works with decision makers, what the most important stormwater topics are for decision makers to understand, and how the CWSEC is working to enhance local stormwater management through decision-maker education.
