South Carolina Code of Regulations › Chapter 30 - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL- COASTAL DIVISION › Section 30-21 - Beachfront Management Plan

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
A. Introduction
(1) In July, 1988, the South Carolina
		  Beachfront Management Act became law. The Act was subsequently amended in the
		  1990 session of the legislature. This law is a complex piece of legislation,
		  requiring the use of scientific studies of coastal processes to establish
		  precise building setback lines along the coast. In addition, the Act bans the
		  future construction of seawalls, limits the size of buildings within the
		  predicted erosion zone and adopts a policy of retreat away from the erosional
		  beach.
The Act is intended to protect both life and property, protect
			 unique habitats and preserve the beach for future use by all citizens. These
			 visitors bring millions of dollars into the state's economy. A number of
			 provisions in the Act address the preservation of a dry-sand beach and public
			 access opportunities, measures to renourish eroding beaches, and the protection
			 of natural vegetation within the beach/dune system. One important provision of
			 the Act specifically requires the adoption of local beachfront management plans
			 by local governments.
(2)
		  Adoption of Local and State Management Plans
If a local government wishes to participate in the state bonding
			 programs available for beach renourishment or other beach funding programs, the
			 governing body must adopt and enforce a local beachfront management plan that
			 is consistent with the Beachfront Management Act. Likewise, the State must also
			 adopt a "long-range and comprehensive beach management plan" (Section
			 48-39-320A ) specifically addressing the following items:
(a) Development of a data base necessary for
		  maintaining and enhancing the beach/dune system.
(b) Development of guidelines and their
		  coordination with appropriate agencies and local governments for the
		  accomplishment of:
(i) Beach/dune restoration
		  and renourishment.
(ii) A beach
		  access program to ensure full and complete access to the beach.
(iii) Maintenance of a dry-sand and
		  ecologically stable beach.
(iv)
		  Protection of all sand dunes seaward of the setback line.
(v) Protection of endangered
		  species.
(vi) Regulation of
		  vehicular traffic upon the beaches and beach/dune system.
(vii) Development of a mitigation policy for
		  construction occurring seaward of the setback line.
(c) Formulation of recommendations for
		  funding programs to implement the goals of the plan.
(d) Development of a public education or an
		  awareness program.
(e) Assistance
		  to local governments in developing their local beachfront management
		  plans.
(3) This document
		  comprises the State's long-range beachfront management plan. Local beachfront
		  management plans have been developed by local entities under guidance of the
		  South Carolina Coastal Council. The local plans, once approved by the Council,
		  become part of the state plan.

South Carolina Code of Regulations › Chapter 35 - DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, LICENSING AND REGULATION- STATE BOARD OF COSMETOLOGY › Section 35-12 - Emergency Temporary Work Permit

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 6, June 28, 2024
A temporary work permit allowing a license candidate to work
			 under the direct supervision of a Board licensee prior to licensure, may be
			 issued for up to 90 days when due to a period of public emergency, candidates
			 for licensure who have completed their education and are otherwise qualified
			 for licensing do not have access to either or both parts (theory and practical)
			 of the required licensing examination. The permit must be displayed in a
			 conspicuous place adjacent to or near the permittee's work chair, with a 2 x 2
			 passport-type photograph of the permittee affixed to the permit.
The applicant must submit an application for the permit on a form
			 approved by the Board, and must designate in the application an appropriately
			 credentialed, licensed South Carolina cosmetologist, nail technician, or
			 esthetician, whose license is in good standing, as their supervisor. The
			 proposed supervisor must also sign the application, agreeing to provide direct
			 supervision. Direct supervision means the supervisor must be present on the
			 salon premises and available to provide oversight to the permittee when the
			 permittee is performing cosmetology, nail technology or esthetic services on
			 the public. Failure of the designated supervisor to provide direct supervision
			 as required is deemed to be an unprofessional act. A temporary work permittee
			 cannot provide these services unless under direct supervision in a licensed
			 salon, and may not be the manager of a salon.
Additionally, to be eligible to apply for a temporary work
			 permit, the license candidate must have applied or be eligible to apply to take
			 the examination, and must not have failed any previous attempt to pass the part
			 or parts of the licensing examination that have not been completed. Failing a
			 remaining part or parts of the examination, or failing to timely apply for or
			 to take a scheduled examination without good cause voids the permit. Working on
			 a void or lapsed temporary work permit is deemed to be unlicensed practice. A
			 temporary work permittee is subject to and must follow all applicable Board
			 statutes and regulations, and is subject to discipline in the same manner as a
			 licensee.

		  disciplinary action.

		  display, in full public view, all licenses applicable to the salon or school
		  and the persons therein engaged in the practice of cosmetology and related
		  professions as well as the sanitary rules and regulations and the sanitary
		  rating given to said salon or school, is sufficient cause for revocation of
		  licenses.
(5) A salon's or school's
		  failure to receive a passing inspection is sufficient cause for disciplinary
		  action up to revocation of license, if not corrected by the next inspection.
		  Thirty days thereafter the board may schedule a show cause hearing in
		  accordance with the provisions as established by the statutes regulating
		  cosmetology.
