A developer seeks to build 60 new homes in Shadowmoss, SC, requiring a permit to fill 2.28 acres of wetlands, raising concerns among residents and conservationists about exacerbating flooding. The neighborhood has faced four major flooding events in the past three years, including the 2015 flood, leading to the demolition of 41 homes and the creation of an ecological park intended to manage stormwater.
Conservation groups argue that removing wetlands could disrupt the area’s hydrology, increasing flooding risks for existing residents. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will determine the project's fate, with local opposition centered on the economic and environmental implications of the development.
