The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to update federal records to reflect a recent restructuring of South Carolina’s government. On July 1, 2024, the state split its Department of Health and Environmental Control into two separate entities: the Department of Public Health and the Department of Environmental Services.
Why it matters: This action keeps federal records aligned with current state government structures. It ensures that permits, enforcement actions, and legal references point to the correct state agency. For regulated entities, it clarifies which department handles compliance without changing any substantive requirements.
Who it affects
- South Carolina Department of Environmental Services
This is a proposed rule from the EPA; check the Federal Register document for details before relying on it.
