Dear
Governor Haley, I read the article in the Monday July 25th T&D
paper concerning the road still closed after the October 2015 flooding on
Church Camp Road near Cameron from Cameron Road to Dwight Swamp Road
(about 1.45 miles of Church Camp Road) due to dam failure. I live on
Dwight Swamp Road and can't travel to Cameron on Church Camp Road due to
this closure. Instead of traveling two miles into Cameron, I have to
travel about seven miles to get into town. I understand that there are
many roads still closed due to dam failure, but I don't believe this road
should be considered closed due to dam failure. This road travels between
a pond and a spillway. This is a PUBLIC road that was traveled every day
by everyone, not a road that is like on a lake where homeowners have to
travel over the lake dam to get to their homes. Also from what I
understand the homeowners in lake communities are responsible for managing
the water level and agreed to have their taxes raised to repair their road
going over the dam. I also believe Church Camp Road was washed out due to
erosion from the running water coming down the hill. The paper states that
quote "We (DHEC) continue to be in contact with the owners of both dams
and are working with them to provide technical assistance so that they can
make final decisions on the future of their dams and implement the
repairs," she said. The very next sentence states that AN ATTEMPT TO REACH
THE DAM OWNERS WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. So which is it? Is DHEC in contact with
the owners or have they failed to reach the owners? Since this is a public
road, it should be repaired and the owner should not be allowed to put
water back into this pond to avoid future issues like this. The pond is
already growing up with weeds and trees. Your assistance is greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance. Very respectfully, Cheryl
Light
