FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
If your property contains low-lying areas, is near a creek, river, or marsh, or falls within South Carolina’s coastal zone, then yes—a wetlands delineation is often required before any site development, grading, or permitting. Federal and state agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) OCRM, regulate wetlands and jurisdictional waters.
At H&M Surveying, we work with environmental specialists to identify and flag jurisdictional wetlands using standardized methods accepted by regulatory agencies. We then accurately map those areas using survey-grade GPS and CAD drafting, so your engineers and planners can confidently design around protected zones. Our delineation services help you avoid costly permitting delays, violations, or enforcement actions, especially in Charleston, Beaufort, Greenville, Augusta, Savannah, the CSRA, and other fast-growing regions.
