What is a DHEC/OCRM Critical Line Survey?
This survey provides delineation and mapping of critical lines as designated by the South Carolina Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM). These critical lines typically include the baseline, setback lines, and lines of jurisdictional authority related to coastal construction and development activities.
Our surveyors accurately define these lines according to regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance with coastal management regulations and safeguarding sensitive coastal ecosystems and habitats.
OCRM Critical Line Surveys are essential for permitting processes and land use planning along coastal areas, facilitating sustainable development practices while preserving the integrity of coastal environments.
