S.C. Beach Renourishment Online Help |
Welcome to the S.C. Beach Renourishment Application!
A product of the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services
This application is designed to provide information on completed renourishment efforts along the coast of South Carolina. The data represented in this application reflects the best available information for projects that have been permitted by SCDES-BCM, its predecessor organization, the S.C. Coastal Council and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Additional renourishment projects have been completed, though detailed regulatory information is not readily available at this time. SCDES-BCM will update this application as new projects are completed and historical documents are obtained.
Using the Application in a Browser
The application provides a simple interface to review beach renourishment projects in the state.
The 50 documented projects are grouped by beach. There are two viewing modes: Standard and Comparison.
In Standard Mode,
choosing a beach in the list triggers the map interface to "zoom" to the selected beach, and expands the list revealing projects in that area sorted by year.
Choosing a project year project details such as sponsor, permit and cost, and highlight (red line) the extent of the project on the map interface.
In Comparison Mode, selecting a beach will trigger the map interface to zoom to the beach area and show the extents of all projects associated with that beach in an offset "comparison" view.
In Comparison Mode,
choosing a project year provides the same project details as Standard Mode, but does not show individual project extents.
In either mode, the user can also see the sand borrow site(s) associated with a given project by clicking the "View Borrow Site" icon 
shown in the project details. *Some projects may NOT have a delineated borrow site.
This application provides no means for the user to interface with the map to obtain information. All controls are provided by the beach and project year listings. However, basic map navigation (pan, zoom, etc.) is enabled and the
user has the ability to choose between two ESRI base maps - Imagery and Streets - by clicking the "Toggle basemap" icon 
on the banner pane.
Using the Application on a Smart Phone
Application functionality provided in a browser is available on a Smart Phone with a few exceptions:
1) The user does not have the ability to change the ESRI base map. Only "Imagery" is available.
2) The user cannot use "Comparison Mode". Only "Standard Mode" is available.
Also, due to limited screen size, the Seach interface
(beach/year list) and Map interface must be toggled. Initially, the Search interface is present. The user can toggle between the Search and Map interface by clicking the "Map Toggle" icon 
on the
banner pane.
