  "We will be monitoring the area for the next couple of months or as long as we see sand bags on the beach and surrounding areas," said Adam Myrick, spokesman for the State Department of Health and Environmental Control.

  "The main problem here is groundwater contamination, and that's something we don't want, obviously, because it's a threat to public health," says Adam Myrick, a spokesman for DHEC.
  
  The sites are all considered "orphaned", meaning the owners either can't be found or aren't able to pay for the cleanup.
  
  But how does cleaning up old, leaking underground storage tanks stimulate the economy? Myrick said since the money is coming from the federal Environmental Protection Agency, he would refer that question to them.

  DHEC spokesman Adam Myrick agreed, saying that Utility Services is not required to hook into another water source and abandon its current well water source.
  ...
  Plans for the group are still in preliminary stages, Myrick said, and no date has been set for the group to meet.

  About 250 homes in the subdivision are served by a private well system where two contaminants have been found, said Adam Myrick, a spokesman for the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.
  
  DHEC called the 6:30 p.m. Monday meeting at Fort Mill Elementary School in response to complaints about the water, Myrick said.
  
  Myrick said the water, long the subject of complaints from residents, has been found to contain two groundwater contaminants, trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene. However, he said the levels are not out of compliance with standards set by the federal Environmental Protection Agency.
  
  He said the contaminants have been present in the water since quarterly testing began there in 1990, but there have been some increases in those levels.
  
  He did not have data Wednesday, but said that information will be shared during the Monday meeting.
  ...
  "We are determining the extent of the contamination," Myrick said. "Where it is, where it has gone and what wells are affected in the area."
  
  The smell, texture and color of the water are not related to the contamination, Myrick said.
  
  The only residents impacted are those in the Foxwood subdivision off Merritt Road in Fort Mill, Myrick said.
  ...
  "We have no reason to believe that it has impacted the public water system," Myrick said, referring to York County water lines.
  
  During Monday's meeting, Myrick said DHEC officials will talk to the residents about the groundwater contamination as well as some alternatives to their current water system.
  
  Right now, DHEC is not recommending that Foxwood residents stop drinking the water, Myrick said.
  
  "We'll make a recommendation at that meeting," Myrick added.

  The hearings Thursday ran back-to-back for about two hours, said Adam Myrick, media relations specialist for the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control.
  
  S.C. Ocean and Coastal Resources Management, a DHEC division, held the hearing before deciding whether to grant a permit for either project.
  
  A representative of the Bailey Creek project told residents he would answer any questions after the meeting.

  Adam Myrick, a public affairs officer at DHEC, said the agency would be doing a shoreline assessment at daybreak today to determine the impact of the spill on shellfish. DHEC might close shellfish harvesting if the impact is significant, he said.
  
  DHEC is monitoring the cleanup, but the Coast Guard was in charge, Myrick said.

  When more than 10 boats are moored in an area, it meets the definition of a marina, DHEC spokesman Adam Myrick said. The agency automatically closes shellfish waters near marinas due to concerns related to fuel, boat traffic and the potential for waste coming off boats that would make oysters unsafe to eat.
  
  In December, DHEC officials closed about 2,000 feet of oyster beds in Broad Creek near where the boats are moored.
  
  "It will stay closed until our next (water) sample run or until we make a patrol or happen to see there are less than 10 boats there," Myrick said. "We don't have the resources to go there every day and check to see if there are fewer than 10 boats."
  
  DHEC samples water quality at 26 monitoring stations in Broad Creek about once a month, Myrick said. Even if testing did not reveal pollution, Myrick said the shellfish beds would remain closed because of the "marina definition."
  
  "We don't know that they are discharging, but we don't know that they are not," he said.

  This was confirmed in a December Greenville News article by DHEC's spokesperson, Adam Myrick, who said, in regard to the model, that "it is inappropriate to use it to conclude that a particular chemical release is causing harm to a specific population or location."
