Abstract
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (Department) developed this priority list of waterbodies pursuant to Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and Federal Regulation 40 CFR 130.7 and in compliance with the requirements of the current regulation. The list identifies South Carolina waterbodies not meeting State water quality standards after application of required controls for point and nonpoint source pollutants and priority waterbodies to which the Department can direct its attention when developing required controls. The severity of the pollution and the classified uses of the waterbodies were employed to determine the ranking of the list in conjunction with the Department's five-year rotating basin Watershed Water Quality Assessments (WWQA). The list will be used to target waterbodies for water quality protection plans and processes, including Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), for listed waterbodies.
