SC-22 extension could reshape parts of Horry County. What to know about project

The proposed 28-mile South Carolina Highway 22 Extension Project has been narrowed to three potential routes, each with implications for homeowners, wetlands and traffic in the Grand Strand region. The extension is intended to reduce traffic, aid services to communities across the Waccamaw River and improve hurricane evacuation. Public meetings are scheduled Nov. 17-19 for residents to weigh in on the $1.56 billion project. Here are key project takeaways: Homes at risk: The Army Corps of Engineers has narrowed 22 initial routes to three alternatives, each initially estimated to displace between 64 and 72 residential or commercial properties in established neighborhoods like The Farm at Timberlake, Indigo Creek, The Lakes, and Meadows of St. Patrick, with construction estimated for 2030-2035. Residents and environmental groups also worry the new highway will worsen congestion on U.S. 501, 701, 707 and 17 and open western Horry County to more development. Property owner rights: Under South Carolina’s Eminent Domain Procedure Act, government agencies can acquire private land for public projects in exchange for just compensation, but property owners have 30 days to challenge a condemnation notice and can hire their own appraiser at the agency’s expense. Owners whose land isn’t physically taken but loses

Is it legal to throw your pet's poop in neighbor's trash can? What SC law says

It’s trash day in your neighborhood, and you have your can sitting along the curb waiting for pickup. Then along comes a neighbor walking their dog and throws their pet’s bag of feces into your trash can. Putting aside the fact that the act is not very neighborly, is it against the law? South Carolina law says that a person cannot “dump, throw, drop, deposit, discard, or otherwise dispose of litter or other solid waste upon ... private property in the State for which he is not the legal owner or a person otherwise granted permission by the legal owner.” Horry County has separate solid-waste rules , and using someone else’s bin without permission could still prompt a complaint. The law also states that “garbage” that is placed in trash cans for pickup “shall not include human or animal feces.” There are other city ordinances with rules about picking up and disposing of your pet’s waste. Myrtle Beach and pet poop Myrtle Beach’s ordinance says that it is unlawful to "fail to promptly remove and properly dispose of all feces left by the animal on any public property or any private property not owned by the owner.” It goes as

Are there buried shipwrecks in Myrtle Beach sands? You could be sunbathing on one

Numerous items wash up on the Grand Strand’s more than 60 miles of beaches, many becoming buried beneath the sand. In Myrtle Beach, beachgoers who pitch their umbrellas and spread their blankets along parts of the shore might be surprised to know that they may be walking on top of two shipwrecks. The ships were briefly uncovered when two major hurricanes hit the South Carolina coast, only to be reburied after years of beach renourishment and time. Jack Thompson, who has spent 75 years chronicling Myrtle Beach’s history, was able to snap photos of both wrecks, capturing rare moments in time. Here’s what to know about the shipwrecks and where they are located. The Freeda A. Wyley After Hurricane Hazel made landfall in Myrtle Beach on Oct. 15, 1954, causing extensive damage and deaths, the storm uncovered the timbers of the barkentine Freeda A. Wyley at 43rd Avenue North. Thompson was able to photograph the remains of the 507-ton, three-masted ship. The ship had encountered a hurricane off the coast of Myrtle Beach in 1893 and burned to the waterline, leaving its wooden hull to drift onto the beach. “All the local guys went down there with hammers and saws
