You won’t find an ethane cracker or industrial plastics manufacturing equipment on tiny Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. The tiny 2.5 mile-long barrier island along the Atlantic coast near Charleston claimed a spot in history for its role in the Revolutionary War, though it’s perhaps better known among vacationers and tourists in recent years for its sandy beachfronts and blue waters.
But, in July 2019, Charleston environmental lawyer Andrew Wunderley arrived on the beach after getting a tip from a dog walker who’d noticed something strange in the sands along Sullivan’s Island. Wunderley arrived to discover an extraordinary number of tiny white bits, so dense and widespread on the beach and in the surf that he later compared them to sleet.

Coastal News Today | SC - Editorial: $1 million settlement underscores need for nurdles regulation, SPA openness

We’re fortunate that Charleston Waterkeeper and the Coastal Conservation League were willing to use federal laws to pursue a lawsuit against Frontier Logistics, since DHEC walked away from the matter after Frontier denied any wrongdoing.
When nurdles started washing up on the beach in the summer of 2019, Frontier was packaging the plastic pellets for overseas transportation in a Union Pier facility directly over the Cooper River. Frontier and the State Ports Authority split the $150,000 cost for an initial cleanup, and DHEC initially cited the company for the spill and ordered Frontier to install nurdle-catching nets around the shipping wharf. ....
