Waccamaw River FCSA Signing Begins Flood Risk Study
Horry County and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District will sign a Feasibility Cost Share Agreement to study flood risk management of the Waccamaw River tomorrow at 10 a.m. in the Multipurpose Rooms of the Horry County Government and Justice Center. The purpose of the study is to determine if there are feasible and cost-effective measures to reduce the risk of flooding impacts to communities in the watershed, with a focus on Horry County where significant flooding has occurred in recent years. This cost share agreement allows the Federal government and the County to invest equally in this $3M study to find ways to address a complex flooding problem that will benefit South Carolinians locally and regionally.
