On March 23, the South Carolina Supreme Court heard arguments from several environmental groups, lawyers and state officials about the future of Captain Sam’s Spit: a unique piece of land on Kiawah Island that is being eyed for the construction of 50 homes.

The S.C. Supreme Court heard arguments for the fifth time on March 23 from several environmental groups, lawyers for Kiawah Development Partners and state officials about the future of Captain Sam’s Spit, a unique piece of land on Kiawah Island that is being eyed for the construction of 50 homes.

What was on the table this time? It was about the permitting that KDP is seeking from DHEC for infrastructure on the land. The permits would be for a steel seawall, stormwater management, utility lines and a road – infrastructure dire to supporting the homes slated for this 150-acre tear-dropped shaped isthmus.
