That was pursued by my friends at the SC Environmental Law Project and
CCL. They are all superstars. This was an incredibly stupid judgment,
which also has a lot to do with bears in the (rather wild) area where
this road is going. It was never particularly clear why they had to
build it, or if they did why it could not be done more appropriately. I
have not been up there (Horry County, where the abomination Myrtle Beach
resides) but knowing what I know about the general corruption up there,
it all makes some sort of sense.
I had lunch the other day with the guy who runs CCL to discuss another
case of refractory stupidity. And another one. It's South Carolina,
it's just the way things are. That and willful ignorance. SCELP had
their annual event 2 weeks ago so we all discussed a lot of this stuff
while having lots of fun. I actually saw another friend this morning
who is a SCELP board member.
The battle is never over, we never give in...
Thanks for the info.

in contempt of an earlier order temporarily restraining it from related
wetland construction activities.
The Coastal Conservation League and the South Carolina Wildlife Federation
are challenging a permit issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and
want Horry County barred from doing further construction on what is known
as the International Drive. The groups argue that the...
