- WLP: Henry Holst. DHEC spoke at the last WLPC meeting, which was attended by Mayor Riley Bradham and Henry Holst, and gave an update on Mr. Allen Dawson’s proposed commercial use of the 500 acres in the middle of the Island. DHEC indicated that the door would be wide open if this plan passes. Technical compliance issues were raised at the meeting. Zoning will be the greatest barrier to stop the permit process for the mining plan. More letters are needed to show the communitie’s feeling that commercial use of this agricultural land would have an adverse impact on Wadmalaw.
Maybank road cleanup may be cancelled. Will be discussed at next meeting.
