The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Office of Inspector General conducted this evaluation to determine South Carolina’s capacity to manage and use Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act funds for its Clean Water State Revolving Fund program.

South Carolina faces challenges related to stakeholder and human capital capacity.

The United States Coast Guard (Coast Guard) did not meet its illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing interdiction goals for fiscal years 2023 and 2024. For both FYs, the Coast Guard set its interdiction goal at 40 percent. This goal reflects efforts to prevent illegal foreign fishing vessels from encroaching on the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). It measures the percent of detected vessels successfully interdicted by the Coast Guard.
