Thank you for contacting the Ombudsman’s Office. It has been determined I-26 W is a state maintained road and is, therefore, maintained by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT). This information has been forwarded to their office for investigation and response. Please contact their office at (803)786-0128 if you have any questions or require any additional assistance on this matter.

It seems that the city of Columbia mowes this area and has done cleanup before. It is close to harbison blvd. Just my thought.

Issue resolved
