About South Carolina

Federal environmental databases track 21,666 regulated facilities across South Carolina, highlighting the importance of screening nearby operations during commercial property assessments. Local regulatory reviews must also address potential surface water and runoff concerns from the 13,983 Clean Water Act permitted facilities located throughout the state. Evaluating nearby hazardous materials is critical for buyers and lenders given that 10,399 RCRA hazardous waste facilities are documented in the state. Due diligence investigations must identify proximity to severe contamination risks, such as the 34 EPA Superfund National Priorities List sites recorded in South Carolina. Historical site research must take into account past remediation activity, which includes 6 deleted Superfund National Priorities List sites that have completed cleanup.
