Commission finds Ocean Drive wastewater plant lime-slurry tank compatible with comp plan
Summary
City staff told the Planning Commission that the proposed 10,000-gallon lime slurry storage and feed system at the Ocean Drive wastewater plant is consistent with the comprehensive plan; the commission found the project compatible and adopted staff findings.
The North Myrtle Beach Planning Commission reviewed CIP-26-3 on July 21, a proposed capital improvement to install a bulk lime slurry storage and feed system at the Ocean Drive wastewater treatment plant, and found the project compatible with the city’s comprehensive plan.
Suzanne, planning staff, described the project as including a 10,000-gallon bulk lime slurry storage tank, a pump and control enclosure, feed pumps, mixer and control equipment, piping and site improvements to support operation of the treatment facility. "By replacing and modernizing the wastewater treatment plant’s lime slurry storage and feed system, the project improves the reliability, efficiency and long-term operation of an existing public utility," she said.
Staff reported no departmental objections. The presentation noted the project supports comprehensive-plan goals for essential public facilities and responsible management of water resources and that the proposal does not expand the plant service area or change the property’s public-utility use. After brief clarifying questions (including the tank color), a commissioner moved that the Planning Commission adopt the findings of fact and find the proposed project compatible with the comprehensive plan; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The commission’s action is a compatibility finding under South Carolina law (S.C. Code § 6-29-540) and does not itself authorize construction. Any construction or land-disturbance permits remain subject to regulatory and technical review.
