Current Articles:
The muck is being flung literally in the harbor-dredging skirmish that's
broken out between the Palmetto and Peach states.
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control's recent letter
saying it would deny a water quality certification for the Savannah
Harbor Expansion Project prompted a testy response in the Georgia press
last week.
A Savannah Morning News editorial under the headline "Sour grapes" called
the timing "suspect" and noted Gov.-elect Nikki Haley's words at last
year's State of the Port address in Charleston: "Georgia has had their
way with us for way too long, and I don't have the patience to let it
happen anymore."
The editorial suggests that the delay could give the deeper Port of
Charleston a leg up over Savannah, adding that despite the S.C. State
Ports Authority's recent strides, "It is still recovering from missteps
and missed opportunities" in developing its new container terminal,
originally planned for Daniel Island but now under construction at the
former Navy base in North Charleston.
"This could explain why our neighbors to the north might be jealous of
the booming success of the Georgia Ports Authority," the editorial
concludes. "It is, however, no excuse to sabotage Savannah's decade-long
effort to secure federal clearance and funding for an infrastructure
project important to the economic health of the entire Southeast."
Because Georgia and South Carolina share the Savannah River,
environmental regulators in both states must sign off on the dredging
project.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers intends to deepen Savannah Harbor to as
much as 48 feet from 42 feet, a critical issue within the shipping
industry right now.
The 2014 Panama Canal expansion will bring with it larger container ships
that require deeper ports.
The Savannah River Maritime Commission, a group that represents South
Carolina's interests, meets this week to discuss the Savannah deepening
project.
