Herbicide Spray Threatens Gadsden Creek Wetland | Charleston News
Description
Dominion Energy’s contractor sprayed herbicides along Gadsden Creek, killing native salt marsh plants—despite experts confirming they posed no threat to power lines. Environmentalists blast the move as ecologically reckless, warning of damage to the fragile wetland ecosystem. While Dominion defends the action as routine vegetation management for power reliability, local groups and the city express shock and call for stronger legal protections for this vital habitat. A community event is planned to document the area’s biodiversity and push for its preservation.
