Abstract
This is the 10th study conducted by the South Carolina Forestry Commission to determine compliance with South Carolina’s Best Management Practices for Forestry (BMPs) during silvicultural activities. Recent forestry operations were evaluated on 199 randomly located sites during 2015-2016. Overall BMP compliance on harvesting operations was 97%. Compliance indicates that proper use of applicable BMPs was sufficient to protect water quality on those
sites. The overall implementation rate of individual BMP practices was 95.5%, compared to the regional average of 92% among southeastern states.
