Edisto Island Storm Damage Reduction Project Charleston and Colleton Counties

The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District has prepared this Peer Review Plan in accordance with the guidance provided in paragraphs 6.a. through j. of Engineering Circular 1105-2-408.

The Edisto Island Storm Damage Reduction — Feasibility Study shall be the decision document. The primary purpose of the feasibility study is to analyze and develop a recommendation that will provide for reduction of hurricane and storm damages to the beachfront structures located within the Town of Edisto Beach. A variety of alternatives will be examined during the feasibility study that would sustain a wider beach profile through this reach of the study area. Additionally, environmental restoration and protection opportunities exist through the entire study area, primarily for protection of the habitat that exists at Edisto Beach State Park and to provide more stable turtle nesting habitat along the entire Edisto Island shoreline. These opportunities will be capitalized on when practicable. The study involves plan formulation, engineering analysis, environmental and cultural considerations, economic analysis, and preparation of a real estate plan.
