Landfill Extension Suspended as South Carolina Push Falters
Chem-Nuclear delays proposed extension of Barnwell low level radioactive waste dump citing election year concerns. The plan to sell future disposal space could fund a $1 billion education fund if the landfill stays open 20 more years, replacing a 1996 agreement that assumed ten more years and $140 million in annual fees. The state has seen waste volumes rise and revenues drop, with radioactivity increasing about 50 percent due to tighter compaction. Nearby debates include video poker regulation, casino economics, and Myrtle Beach water contamination concerns from polluted drainage pipes after storms.
