Lawmaker weighs permit requirement for large water withdrawals
South Carolina Senator Campsen proposes a bill requiring large agricultural users to obtain a permit rather than a simple registration for river withdrawals. The measure follows concerns over Walther Farms drawing up to 805 million gallons monthly from the Edisto system and aims to close a loophole in the 2010 act. Conservationists say a permit process is stricter and more thorough.
