We represented the SC Coastal Conservation League in a state court citizens suit against Dewey Wise for violations of coastal critical area permitting requirements at Fenwick Island in the ACE Basin. Mr. Wise removed an old bridge and placed fill dirt in saltwater critical area to create a causeway, all without a required state permit. We believed the causeway should be removed and the area restored.
SCELP and the Coastal Conservation League were victorious and have won the first citizens enforcement suit filed in South Carolina. Read the court's order HERE.
