Are Coastal Zone Management Act reviews through the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management (OCRM) the same as Section 106 reviews?
The Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) is different from Section 106 review, as the CZMA follows the Policies and Procedures guidance for addressing cultural resources within the 8 coastal counties of South Carolina. The CZMA directs OCRM to determine if its permitting actions will affect properties listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, or Geographic Areas of Particular Concern (GAPCs). OCRM must determine if the proposed project will preserve the characteristics for which the GAPC is listed or eligible for listing in the National Register. OCRM consults with the SHPO on these projects.
