When the House returns from furlough on Tuesday, April 13th, the House Agriculture Subcommittee will meet to take up the Senate passed version (S.452). As passed in the Senate, agricultural users will not be required to obtain a permit however; they would be required to register with DHEC (for free) what they are currently drawing. Farmers who are currently drawing water would be grandfathered in at their highest usage based on the rate capacity of their existing pumps.
If you are a constituent or know any of the subcommittee members please contact them and express the importance of this bill to you. The members are Rep. David Hiott, Rep. Tommy Stringer, Rep. Chandra Dillard, Rep. Nelson Hardwick, and Rep. Mike Forrester.
