b. A letter of proof of proper zoning and land use from the county or city;

A letter from the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resources Management (OCRM) stating that the project is consistent with the South Carolina Coastal Zone Management Plan if the proposed treatment facility is located in the coastal zone as defined by the OCRM or stating that the facility is exempt from this requirement because it is not located in that zone;
