  2. Vegetation Maintenance In an effort to maintain highway beautification in conjunction with proper land management and to acknowledge the advertising industry’s need to maintain advertising displays on interstate routes, the SC Department of Transportation implemented a statewide Outdoor Advertising Vegetation Maintenance Program.

  3. Vegetation Agreement This program was initially a ten-year agreement between the sign owner and the Department of Transportation. Currently agreements are renewed with payment of the annual vegetation permit fee. A sign must be permitted for at least two years before it is allowed participation in this program.

  4. Cost to Participate There is an initial $200.00 participation fee per sign. During each remaining year, an annual $200.00 maintenance fee per sign will be required for the duration of the agreement.

  5. Owner’s Responsibility It is the sign owner’s responsibility to clear-cut the initial 300-foot window within a 500-foot area in front of the permitted sign. The 300-foot window will allow the participant to select the most advantageous area to be cut, allowing for the best visibility of their sign. Right of way will be entered from the private owner side for removal of vegetation. All cutting and debris removed immediately after cutting.

  6. SCDOT Responsibility Each year after the initial cutting, the Department of Transportation (contracted mowers) will mow the area for the duration of the contract period. This mowing will be performed once a year in conjunction with routine maintenance of the right-of-way.
