Hearing on International Drive this week

Administrative Law Court Chief Judge Ralph Anderson has scheduled three days of hearings in Columbia, beginning Tuesday, on the appeal filed by the conservation league and South Carolina Wildlife Federation of the permit issued by the state Department of Health and Environmental Control allowing construction on International Drive to move forward.

It’s been nearly a decade since the paving of International Drive was first approved by Horry County residents through a Nov. 7, 2006 referendum to impose a one-cent sales tax to pay for this and other road projects.

International Drive construction was scheduled to begin in 2012 with a 2013 completion date, but this and other road projects was delayed for two years when the environmentalists objected to the permitting process for work on S.C. Highways 707 and 31.

The permitting process for International Drive was nearly completed last summer, but the environmentalists filed a court protest in August to contest one of the permits.

When the court proceedings begin, It will be up to the environmental groups to prove the permitting process was not correctly followed.

It’s expected the court will take at least a month to render its decision.
