accommodate large groups.
Our greatest asset, however, is our people. With a talent
and dedication that I am proud to be associated with, the
people of EARTHWORKS are ready to work for you.
Master Planning
Featured Project
Queen’s Harbour
EARTHWORKS was retained by a land
developer to prepare a Master Plan for
a 166 acre mixed use project in Myrtle
Beach, which included residential, office
professional and commercial uses.
The Planned Unit Development zoning
approved for the project provided
maximum flexibility for the client with
a multitude of uses, providing over
1600 residential units for four tracts.
Final developed density was significantly
less, which could be transferred into
undeveloped phases.
The infrastructure for the site was
designed with future growth in mind
and to provide seamless integration with
adjoining properties.
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s
Master Planned Communities create
an exciting opportunity for a developer
to establish a unique community with
a sense of place and a cohesive theme
from start to finish. The large scale of
these projects requires the commitment
and expertise to provide comprehensive
design services, and harmony of the
design team with the developer and
construction team.
The preparation of a comprehensive
land use plan is vital to an attractive,
functional development. The different
elements such as transportation,
drainage, infrastructure, and housing
needs must be carefully integrated to
create a balanced, viable plan.
Master planning for infrastructure,
landscaping and environmental features
creates a solid foundation to build from,
and ensures continuity throughout the
life of the project, which is essential for
larger, multi-phase projects.
Our planners apply the best planning
practices, sound engineering solutions,
and our knowledge of the region to
capitalize on the natural resources of a
site. We create purposeful communities
that fit into the landscape, offer a superior
lifestyle for residents, and maximize the
return to the developer.
Our knowledge gained from working
with local governments and jurisdictional
agencies enables our clients to benefit from
our experience with local and regional land
use issues, review processes, codes, and
ordinances. EARTHWORKS provides
our clients with the complete in-house
expertise for total site design. We use the
latest technology to coordinate each phase
of a development project, ensuring that
schedules and budgets are met.

Featured Project
Surfside Beach - Melody Basin
EARTHWORKS was retained by the
Town of Surfside Beach to identify
existing drainage problem areas
and provide cost-effective solutions.
EARTHWORKS indentified the most
vulnerable areas first, and prepared
hydraulic models to simulate current
and proposed drainage conditions.
Based on letters and photos received
from town residents, the Melody Basin
watershed was selected as the first
project, encompassing over 800 acres
of property. An intergovernmental
cost-sharing agreement was negotiated
with Horry County and the proposed
improvements were completed at a cost
of $933K.
The project was given a significant
test during Hurricane Floyd, which
dropped over 14 inches of rain in the
watershed with no significant in-home
flooding reported. EARTHWORKS
has since completed two additional
watershed projects for the Town of
Surfside Beach, with over $3M in
total costs.

The design of road and stormwater
systems is the first step in the creation of a
successful project. State and local design
requirements for stormwater systems
address water quality and quantity
issues. These must be balanced with
project aesthetics so that the finished
product is appealing to the consumer.
The water and sewer infrastructure
must be designed to fit within the site
constraints and engineered to meet
State health standards for construction.
EARTHWORKS uses the latest CAD
technology to ensure accurate designs
which integrate multiple layers of
information, while meeting all of the
requirements of local, state, and federal
regulations. We field check our designs
to ensure that the project will work at the
site as well as it does on paper - a project
must be buildable to succeed.

Land Planning

Featured Project
Creek Harbour

EARTHWORKS provided Civil

Engineering services for an upscale
residential development. This project
featured 111 lots, an amenity center/
clubhouse and a private marina on a
100 acre site adjacent to Collins Creek
in Murrells Inlet, SC.
We designed the gated entrance, the
clubhouse facility, the boat ramp and
community docks. The drainage
system provided large lake view lots
that increased the appraised lot values.
Seventeen of the lots were designed for
private residential docks on Collins
Creek. Water and sewer infrastructure
was extended over 4,000 feet offsite to
connect to public utilities.
The foundation of comprehensive land
planning is based on identifying the
developer’s vision and translating ideas
into images that reflect concepts in
concert with the community’s needs.
A quality development plan also
maximizes the asset value by identifying
the natural resources of the site and
integrating them into the project.
The overall assset value is the sum of the
location, soils, drainage, view corridors,
vegetation and trees, zoning and other
natural resources. The overall project
goals should consider the best and
highest use of the land to provide a
functional project with high quality
features and aesthetics.
The natural features of any parcel of
land create the basic canvas which
EARTHWORKS uses as a palette.
Using the existing topography and
drainage networks of the site, a
conceptual development plan can
integrate wetland information, soils
information and land use information,
while meeting all of the requirements
of local, state and federal regulations.
The preparation of a comprehensive
land use plan is vital to an attractive,
functional development. The
elements of transportation, drainage,
infrastructure and housing needs
must be carefully integrated to create
a balanced, workable plan. A good
project is not only functional, but
aesthetically pleasing as well.
Well planned projects can have long
term financial benefit by creating
value - which helps you reach your
goals.

Marine Projects
Featured Project
Belle Isle Marina
EARTHWORKS was hired by the
Belle Isle Yacht Club to provide civil
and environmental services for the
renovation of the marina. The marina
was originally constructed in the late
1970’s. This site was excavated out of
the marsh at the confluence of a small
creek which had been impounded
to create Lake Johnstone, a central
feature of the community.
The marina was a combination of
fixed and floating docks and was
experiencing significant sedimentation,
requiring dredging permits from
state and federal agencies. Chemical
analysis of the sediments was part
of the permit process to ensure that
contaminants from offsite had not
adversely impacted the marina basin.
The project was successfully completed
and the marina is fully operational,
providing a valuable amenity for the
community.
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s
EARTHWORKS offers complete
engineering services for the design,
permitting and construction
administration, and management of
marine projects including marinas,
residential and commercial dockage and
public recreation facilities. We provide
land planning to create a cohesive
project, design the structure, handle all
permitting and provide complete site
development services.
Engineering and scientific services
include the full spectrum of project
development from planning, feasibility
and impact studies, to conceptual and
final design permit applications and
construction management. We have
been involved with numerous marine
projects where the designs included golf
cart and ADA accessibility, fuel facilities,
as well as amenities such as floating
docks, dry stack storage facilities and
ship’s stores. Many engineering firms
offer civil and structural engineering and
some may occasionally take on a marine
project. However, we have the experience
to provide comprehensive marine
consulting services which tie into the
land-based infrastructure. Past projects
have ranged from residential docks to
large marinas along our waterways, and
even public recreational facilities that
connect commercial business districts.
EARTHWORKS can provide the
design of the plumbing and electrical
systems, pump-out stations and slips
for these
facilities. The
wastewater
from these
sources is
pumped to
shore where it
can be treated
and disposed
of at an on
site sewage treatment facility designed
and permitted by EARTHWORKS.
Whether your project is limited to a
routine inspection of your dock facility
or is as broad-based as establishing
a brand new marina facility; if it’s
in the water, EARTHWORKS can
get it done. We’ll get the job done;
on time, under budget and without
compromising safety.
Water & Sewer
Featured Project
Sun Colony
EARTHWORKS designed the
utility infrastructure for a master
planned golf community with over
258 acres for 1200 residential units.
EARTHWORKS identified service
areas for the existing water and
sewer utilities, created a preliminary
engineering plan for approval of the
utility district and prepared hydraulic
models to simulate current and
proposed conditions.
Based on the results of the water
system models, the utility district hired
EARTHWORKS to design additional
interconnections to improve flow and
pressure in the water system and make
revisions in the sewer system design to
accommodate future growth around
this community. Total infrastructure
cost in the first phase was $1.5M,
with the utility district participating
in the service improvements.
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s

Managing complex public works projects
is demanding. Meeting technical and
regulatory expectations is challenging.
Finding a consulting engineering firm
that understands your concern for
the community makes your job as a
developer rewarding.
Regulatory requirements for water and
sewer systems demand that the project
be built to meet stringent standards
for the protection of public health.
Drainage and transportation systems
have similar requirements for public
safety. We ensure that the product that
is constructed meets or exceeds these
requirements. We provide outstanding
quality assurance by carefully monitoring
your project during the construction
process.
EARTHWORKS has earned the
reputation of providing the very best
in design, engineering and construction
services to ensure a successful result time
and time again.
 Municipal Responsibility
Roads & Drainage
Municipalities now face the daunting task of
maintaining aging infrastructure. Many of these
facilities were constructed during the early part of
the 20th century into the Post-World War II era. As
such, it falls to the current generation of government
officials to address the needs of this community.

Roads have been failing with more frequency than

in previous repair programs because they have
been overlaid numerous times. Drainage systems
that were installed based on rural, or low-density,
expectations have deteriorated and are undersized
for the modern city/town.

EARTHWORKS offers experienced professionals that

have worked with municipal officials to address the
needs of aging infrastructure. We find cost effective
solutions to meet the current infrastructure needs
for the municipality with consideration for future
growth, and maintenance requirements to support
future generations.

Water & Wastewater

The basic necessities of life include reliable water and
wastewater services. Everyone desires a consistency
in the quality and delivery of drinking water to
their faucet. They also expect that the wastewater
leaving their house will be properly collected,
treated, and discharged in a manner that maintains
the environmental health of their community and
their quality of life.

Water and wastewater infrastructure require constant

monitoring to meet regulatory requirements
and customer satisfaction. Ongoing changes to
regulatory requirements in water and wastewater
treatment burdens government officials and places
ongoing maintenance demands of these dynamic
systems. EARTHWORKS has professionals with
extensive experience in water treatment, storage,
and distribution as well as wastewater collection,
conveyance, treatment, disposal, and residuals
management.

EARTHWORKS maintains “state of the art” expertise and knowledge in the application
of all SCDOT requirements and regulations. We maintain a high level of competence with
all Highway and Road design and construction techniques, requirements, codes, regulations
and policies. We also strive to maintain relationships with SCDOT personnel at the local
level where our projects are under construction.
Sustainable Design
Featured Project
EARTHWORKS’ HQ
EARTHWORKS’ new office building
utilizes many green concepts that provide
a benefit to the environment and the
occupants:
• The majority of structural components
are recycled steel
• Open space maximized by using three
story building to promote biodiversity
• High efficiency HVAC systems
• Pervious parking for reduced
stormwater impacts
• Heat island effect reduced by installing
light colored roofing to reduce heat
absorption
• Daylighting and individual air
flow control for improved working
environment
• On-demand hot water saves energy
costs associated with storing hot water
• Carpet manufactured with post-
consumer recycled content
• High efficiency fluorescent lighting
• Water efficient landscaping using
native plants
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s
Constructing and operating buildings
requires enormous amounts of energy,
water, and materials and creates large
amounts of waste. Where and how
they are built affects the ecosystems
around us in countless ways. The
buildings themselves create new
indoor environments that present
environmental problems and challenges.
As the environmental impact of
buildings becomes more apparent, a
growing field called sustainable design
is leading the way to reduce that
impact at the source. Sustainable design
is the practice of creating healthier
and more resource efficient models of
construction, renovation, operation,
maintenance, and demolition.
The main objectives of sustainable design
are to avoid resource depletion including
energy, water, and raw materials.
Another goal is to prevent environmental
degradation caused by facilities and
infrastructure throughout their life
cycle; and to create built environments
that are livable, comfortable, safe and
productive. While the definition of
what constitutes sustainable building
design is constantly changing, there are
six fundamental principles that nearly
everyone agrees on.
• Optimize Site Potential
• Optimize Energy Use
• Protect and Conserve Water
• Use Environmentally Preferable
Products
• Enhance Indoor Environmental
Quality (IEQ)
• Optimize Operational and
Maintenance Practices
Sustainable design or “green building”
is an opportunity to use our resources
efficiently while creating healthier
buildings. EARTHWORKS is committed
to the wise use of our resources and
helping our clients enjoy
the benefits of building
green. It provides long-
term cost savings to the
building owner through
improved human health
and productivity, lower
cost building operations, and resource
efficiency--and it moves us closer to a
sustainable future.
 Highway & Road Design
Featured Project
Collins Jollie Road
EARTHWORKS investigated and
evaluated the condition and capacity
of Collins Jollie Road. The area
of study was located off the Longs
Avenue Extension in Horry County
just outside the limits of the City of
Conway. The goal of this project was to
determine the condition of the existing
road and bridge, and to recommend
improvements to upgrade the roadway
and associated components to current
standards of construction.
The improvements to the roadway
included changing the profile of the
road to meet current engineering design
with standard slopes and vertical
curves, bridge upgrades, new culverts,
the installation of 8” of new road
subbase, followed by the addition of
2” asphalt road surface over the entire
stretch of roadway.
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s
Transportation Engineering is an essential

Wetland Mitigation
Featured Project
Congaree-Carton
Mitigation Bank
The EARTHWORKS Group recently
established the Congaree-Carton
Wetland Mitigation Bank within the
South Carolina Cooper River watershed
in the headwaters of the Wando River.
The project site, located in Charleston
County, includes approximately
424-acres near the Francis Marion
National Forest. This project created
approximately 1,500 wetland credits
for sale to development clients.
Congaree-Carton services approximately
822 square miles of primary service
area and approximately 5,610
square miles of extended service areas.
Congaree-Carton provides non-buffer
enhancement and restoration credits for
various types of wetland impacts. In the
near future the bank will also provide
non-buffer enhancement credits for
estuarine tidal systems as well.
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s
Wetland mitigation banking is a federally
approved and state encouraged program
that provides opportunities to landowners
with wetlands that have been altered
or disturbed. EPA defines a wetland
mitigation bank as a wetland, stream, or
other aquatic resource area that has been
restored, established, enhanced, or in
some cases preserved for the purpose of
providing compensation for unavoidable
impacts to aquatic resources permitted
under Section 404 or a similar state or
local wetland regulations. Mitigation
banking allows the landowner to preserve,
enhance and or restore wetland form,
function, and value and create wetland
credits establishing a bank or project. In
turn, developers impacting wetlands are
required to compensate for those impacts
by purchasing credits from an approved
bank or project.
The State of South Carolina has been
proactively regulating impacts to wetland
systems. As a result, strong economic
opportunities exist, especially in high
growth areas, to provide wetland mitigation
credits for unavoidable impacts. Some
benefits of establishing a mitigation bank
include the retention of property ownership
and retained rights of use such as hunting,
fishing, recreation, and maintenance.
Monetary return on investment over the life
cycle of the bank may be substantial when
considering the typical land value for tracts
dominated by wetlands.
The following steps are used by
EARTHWORKS in determining project
viability:
1. A comprehensive review of a property’s
physical characteristics is required. This
includes current property usage, wetland
versus upland percentage, vegetative
condition, soils, topography and hydrology.
Also an overview of the property’s potential
environmental assets based on current
regulatory and market conditions is assessed.
2. A market analysis provides our clients
greater insight into the mitigation business,
how their property fits into the equation, and
the potential bank’s current and future fiscal
performance.
3. We coordinate the potential project with
the South Carolina Mitigation Banking
Review Team (SCMBRT) prior to any large
upfront investment. We present a cursory
overview of the project to obtain feedback on
the potential for success. This provides our
client the information to make the “Go/No
Go” decision.

by the Clean Water Act as part of the Phase
II NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System) Storm Water Program.
Many cities and counties are implementing
the new regulations and require that
developers and builders submit a Notice
of Intent (NOI) to be covered under the
General Permits currently approved for
construction activity disturbing over one acre
of land. Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plans (SWPPP) are also required to outline
how the construction project will protect our
natural resources, through structural controls
and Best Management Practices (BMP’s).
We have always focused on providing solutions
for our clients to ensure that they are not

Featured Service
Chapter 17 Special Inspections
The 2000 International Building Code
established requirements for commercial
projects to provide special inspections by
competent professionals during critical
portions of the construction process,
including material verification,
fabrication, and installation.
Materials subject to special inspection
include structural steel, concrete, pile
foundations, masonry, fire resistant
materials, and Exterior Insulating
Finishing System (EIFS). Quality
Assurance (QA) for wind and seismic
components is also covered under
Chapter 17.
EARTHWORKS was one of the first
design firms to be approved by the City
of Myrtle Beach, with 10 certified
inspectors in our company. Our Special
Inspection Reports provide a thorough
record of the construction process for the
owner and code enforcement agency.
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s
EARTHWORKS provides a full suite of
Third Party Inspection services necessary to
ensure that your project is being built the way
you want. We have qualified professionals
with years of experience in the building
construction and site construction business.
We can assist clients during construction
of residential or commercial structures, as
well as installation of site infrastructure. We
provide digital reporting, documented with
pictures from digital cameras allowing you
to instantly view areas requiring attention.
Inspection services also include pay request
verification, materials verification, and shop
drawing review.
Residential Services
EARTHWORKS can work with
homeowners to provide a customized
scope of services that can minimize builder
callbacks and improve finished quality that
will more than pay for itself. We can
represent the absentee owner’s interest to
make sure they get what they pay for. Our
typical services include four site visits during
the Foundation, Rough-In, Pre-Carpet, and
Final Walk-Through stages with photo-
documentation that allows the owner to
have a visual record of the building process.
This information can be sent electronically
so owners are kept up-to-date on the
construction process. More frequent site
visits can also be provided if the owner wants
a step-by-step account of the construction.
Commercial Services
EARTHWORKS helps provide Contractors
with the peace of mind that comes with excellent
recordkeeping. We check and photograph
critical components that minimize callbacks
and potential litigation. Significant problems
can arise when plumbing and mechanical
components are not correctly installed. Mold
and indoor air quality remediation costs
can quickly evaporate profits from a job. A
picture is worth a thousand words. They also
provide important evidence that can be the
difference between a quick settlement or an
extended lawsuit, saving thousands in time
and money.
Pay Request Verification
EARTHWORKS can assist owners and
lenders during the construction process by
providing independent review and approval of
the pay requests submitted by the contractor.
Our field expertise allows us to sort through
the billings and the contract documents to
ensure that all paperwork is correct and in
order as required by the contract. Review of
field construction techniques and material
submittals is a safety net that confirms that
the contract specifications were followed and
the project will provide the quality that the
owner is paying for. Our expertise works to
provide you a comfort level that your hard
earned money is spent wisely.
Real Estate Due Diligence
Environmental Site
Assessments
EARTHWORKS provides the full
suite of front end Due Diligence
services, including Phase 1
Environmental Site Assessments to
meet due diligence requirements and
determine environmental liabilities
associated with a property. As an
alternative to a Phase 1, we can
conduct a Transaction Screen for
situations that do not require a full
Phase 1 investigation.
EARTHWORKS also performs
Property Condition Assessments
to observe and document readily
visible materials and building system
defects that might significantly affect
the value of a property. Property
condition reports provide reliable
and detailed information on the
building’s operational systems, overall
design and architectural features.
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s
EARTHWORKS can assist you with your
Real Estate transactions to ensure that your
investment is protected. Front end due
diligence services may also protect you from
making an unfortunate investment that does
not meet your long term vision. We offer a
full suite of services necessary to evaluate the
condition of your real estate assets - now, and
in the future. Whether you are purchasing
a new home, a commercial facility or large
development tracts, EARTHWORKS has the
experience and knowledge to create a due
diligence solution that helps you maximize
performance.
Services include:
• Environmental Due Diligence

• Threatened & Endangered Species
• Zoning and Land Use
• Entitlement Research
• Flood Zone Mapping
• Flood Zone Elevation Certificates
• Boundary Surveys and Closing Plats
• ALTA Surveys
• Tree & Topographic Surveys
Zoning and Land Use Research -
(Entitlements)
The local regulatory constraints created by
zoning ordinances increase basic entitlements
that go with the land. EARTHWORKS’
team of expert planners can assess what your
property rights are based on current zoning.
If you have proposed development plans, we
can assist you in determining if the property
you are buying can meet your requirements
to ensure financial success.
Wetland Determinations
We are also experts in wetland delineation
using the professional standard that was
established in the USACE 1987 Field
Manual. We can help determine to what
extent your property is buildable based
on current regulatory constraints such
as jurisdictional wetlands or Threatened
and Endangered Species. Our staff has
consistently received high ratings from the
USACE for the quality of our technical
work. We can also provide a strategy for
the use of your site, including preparation
of State and Federal permit applications as
required.
Survey Services
Our professional Land Surveyors are
experienced in the requirements for
closing plats required during the real estate
transaction process. We utilize the latest
technology to produce plats that exceed
State standards, and give you an accurate
representation of your investment. Survey
services that may be necessary include
Boundary Surveys, ALTA Surveys, Closing
Plats and Elevation Certificates necessary
to indicate compliance with FEMA
requirements. We can also assist with
FEMA Flood Zone Determinations and
Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA’s) that
can determine your risk and reduce your
flood insurance costs.
FEMA Services
Featured Project
Simpson Creek
EARTHWORKS completed a hydraulic
and hydrologic study of a 41 square
mile watershed (Simpson Creek) in
northeastern Horry County. Our client
needed Base Flood Elevations (BFE)
established for their project so they could
proceed with construction.
Our modeling team utilized the latest in
Geographic Information System (GIS)
Technology to develop a Digital Terrain
Model (DTM) for the entire watershed
utilizing Horry County DTM data.
These types of data provide far greater
watershed scale accuracies than USGS
data but required extensive processing.
Further, we superimposed localized
survey data for stream channels, tops of
banks, and other surveyed elevations into
the DTM to provide a more accurate
model. These data were ported into our
Interconnected Pond Routing (ICPR)
model which was used to generate the
hydrologic and hydraulic information
necessary to establish the BFE.
A letter of Map Revision submittal
package was compiled for FEMA which
successfully resulted in a product that
allowed our client to proceed.
e a r t h w o r k s’ s e r v i c e s
As development within our area continues
to expand, prime real estate becomes more
difficult to obtain. This results in finding
innovative or creative ways of converting
less optimal real estate into true gems.
Numerous tracts of land reside within
FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas. An
experienced consultant that can assist
you with exploring options on property
with special FEMA considerations is
invaluable. We have been assisting our
Clients with their specialized FEMA needs
on numerous Hydrology and Hydraulic
projects, Letters of Map Revisions
(LOMR), Letters of Map Amendment
(LOMA), and other specialized needs
they may have.
Our team is not only familiar with the
FEMA regulations and processes but
also systems and applications routinely
utilized for FEMA studies such as the
USACE Hydrologic Engineering Center
- River Analysis System (HEC-RAS).
Our most recent experience included
remodeling the Socastee Creek drainage
system. For this project our team
developed a No-Rise Certification for
the local County Flood Plain Manager.
The County asked that we conduct the
study to predict water surface elevation
change, or lack thereof, with the inclusion
of a small precast concrete span bridge
across the established floodway within
that drainage system.
Our team was able to utilize the original
Flood Insurance Rate Map study data
which was originally created using
HEC2 (no longer supported and
considered legacy software) which was
converted into a working HEC-RAS
model that accurately and faithfully
reproduced the original study results.
Revisions to the model included adding
cross sections within the area of the
bridge and the bridge itself, and doing
some calibration and comparisons to
assess water surface elevations.
The No-Rise Certification was
completed on time and approved by the
regulatory agencies so the project could
continue forward.

Interconnected Pond Routing 3.0. Other
responsibilities have included the oversight
of land disturbance permit tracking and
management.
Garden City Boardwalk, Garden City, SC - The
project consisted of the structural design work
for construction of two separate boardwalks
in Garden City, including wooden boardwalks
over the marsh from high ground to high
ground, a fishing pier adjacent to the bridge
on Atlantic Avenue into the creek at Murrells
Inlet, and steps to the shell beach adjacent to
the bridge.
The Town of Surfside Beach, SC - Mr. Donevant
was the project manager of a multi-basin
stormwater analysis geared toward improving
drainage within the Town of Surfside Beach.
The project has required consensus building
with state, federal, county and town officials
along with the public at large. Existing
infrastructure and land features were
investigated and modeled with ICPR to assess
the existing conditions. The data was reviewed
and proposed improvements were modeled as
part of the stormwater management program
for the Town of Surfside and surrounding
watersheds. To date, the first two basins
(Melody and Myrtle Lake Watersheds) have
been modeled, designed and are currently
under construction.
The Pines of St. James – Murrells Inlet, SC - The
120-acre subdivision required intensive field
investigation and research effort to determine
the design of a dense residential development
located adjacent to an impacted drainage
system. Through meticulous attention to detail
and an innovative approach to stormwater
management, development of this project
led to a reduction in stormwater discharge
to an important drainage basin. The result
was a reduction in potential loading, water
quality and quantity concerns.
Sun Colony Subdivision – Horry County,
SC - Mr. Donevant served as the project
manager for the 250-acre single-family
residential golf course community project
located in Horry County, SC. Substantial
experience was brought to bear on an
area with limited relief to provide positive
drainage and cost-effective infrastructure
construction management.
Sand Crane Dry Stack Storage – North
Myrtle Beach, SC - A 400-space boat storage
facility in North Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina was provided an Individual 404
Permit. The project included substantial
storm water handling, modeling and
permitting because the adjacent waters
are impaired and on the state and federal
303-d list. Project negotiations provided
the client a clean, turnkey project with all
mitigation off-site. Specific storm water
handling remained cost-effective because
of innovative methods of disposal and
treatment.
Queens Harbor Residential Development
– Myrtle Beach, SC - The multi-phased
project involved intricate water and sewer
design and construction management.
The project encompasses more than 160
acres of single-family and commercial
development. Mr. Donevant was the
project manager for the suite of services
rendered including the wetlands and
stormwater management master plans and
calculations for the project. In addition, he
represented the project before the various
local, state, and federal agencies for all
