Proposed permit would crack down on abandoned boats in Charleston, SC
A newly-proposed ordinance in Charleston aims to prevent people from abandoning boats. Our thanks to Ted Arisaka for submitting this article.
Aside from the costly removal process, Rudy Socha said abandoned vessels also pollute water with lead, fiber glass, sewage, and debris. Socha is the CEO of the nonprofit Wounded Nature-Working Veterans, which assists in removing the boats.

As I understand, in the 2021 SC Legislative session, HB 3865 which became law in Act 77 established "template" regulations that SC municipalities could elect to adopt and enforce. I believe this was to avoid having each municipality have its own variation of anchoring regs (distances, time frames). Ostensibly Charleston County would adopt Act 77.
