Tier 1 Evaluation of Pollutant Sources to the Impounded Reach of Clifton 2 Mill Dam, Pacolet River, Spartanburg County, South Carolina October 2012 U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Ecological Services Raleigh Field Office Post Office Box 33726 Raleigh, North Carolina 27636-3726 Preface To assess the potential for sediment contamination at Clifton 2 Mill Dam in South Carolina’s Pacolet River basin, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service assisted Spartanburg County Parks Department in a review of existing information on potential pollutant sources to sediments upstream of the dam. The work was completed by Sara Ward (Ecologist / Environmental Contaminant Specialist) and Tom Augspurger (Ecologist / Environmental Contaminant Specialist) in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Raleigh Field Office with field assistance from Thomas Rainwater (Environmental Contaminant Specialist in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Charleston Field Office). The work was funded through a transfer agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Spartanburg County Parks. This final version was prepared to address comments received on an August 2012 peer review draft. We appreciate the review and feedback from Thomas Rainwater, Lynnette Batt (American Rivers), and Cindy Carter (SC Department of Health and Environmental Control).

Trademarks of Privilege: Naming Rights and the Physical Public Domain Ann Bartow* This Article critiques the branding and labeling of the physical public domain with the names of corporations, commercial products, and individuals. It suggests that under-recognized public policy conflicts exist between the naming policies and practices of political subdivisions, trademark law, and right of publicity doctrines. It further argues that naming acts are often undemocratic and unfair, illegitimately appropriate public assets for private use, and constitute a limited form of compelled speech. It concludes by considering alternative mechanisms by which the names of public facilities could be chosen.

Historic Rainfall and Record-Breaking Flooding from Hurricane Florence in the Pee Dee Watershed
Journal of South Carolina Water Resources, Volume 6, Issue 1, Pages 28–35, 2019 Historic Rainfall and Record-Breaking Flooding from Hurricane Florence in the Pee Dee Watershed MELISSA GRIFFIN1, MARK MALSICK1, HOPE MIZZELL1, AND LEAH MOORE1 AUTHORS: 1SC State Climatology Office, SC Department of Natural Resources, 1000 Assembly Street Columbia, SC 29201 . KEYWORDS: Florence, flooding, average return intervals, rainfall, ARI . With the advancements of software packages and data visualization, much of the analysis and information on the impact and historical perspective of the rainfall from Tropical Storm Florence included in our online ERSI Story Map is not viable to translate into the print format standards required by many publications. However, with the newly enacted Journal of South Carolina Resources policy, our article creates a precedent in how the Journal will address submittals that include subject matter available on the internet, by permanently archiving the information, and applying a structured peer-review process to the content. Abstract. For the third time in four years, record-breaking flooding occurred in South Carolina. Hurricane Florence, which made landfall near Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina, on September 14, 2018, moved slowly across South Carolina from September 14–17, 2018. Over those four days, heavy rain fell over portions of the Pee Dee Watershed and eastern North Carolina, with over 30 inches of rain measured by an observer in Swansboro, North Carolina. Most of the excessive rainfall was confined to the Pee Dee region, with reported totals of over 24 inches in Horry County, while closer to the Savannah River Valley observers measured less than an inch of rain. -

2010 303(D) List Due to Standard Attainment, Identified Pollutant Or Listing Error
The State of South Carolina’s 2010 Integrated Report Part I: Listing of Impaired Waters INTRODUCTION The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (Department) developed this priority list of waterbodies pursuant to Section §303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and Federal Regulation 40 CFR 130.7 last revised in 1992. The listing identifies South Carolina waterbodies that do not currently meet State water quality standards after application of required controls for point and nonpoint source pollutants. Use attainment determinations were made using water quality data collected from 2004-2008. Pollution severity and the classified uses of waterbodies were considered in establishing priorities and targets. The list will be used to target waterbodies for further investigation, additional monitoring, and water quality improvement measures, including Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Over the past three decades, impacts from point sources to waterbodies have been substantially reduced through point source controls achieved via National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Since 1990, steady progress in controlling nonpoint source impacts has also been made through implementation of South Carolina’s Nonpoint Source Management Program. In conjunction with TMDL development and implementation, the continued expansion and promotion of these and other state and local water quality improvement programs are expected to be effective in reducing the number of impaired waterbodies. In compliance with 40 CFR 25.4(c), the Department, beginning February 8, 2010, issued a public notice in statewide newspapers, to ensure broad notice of the Department's intent to update its list of impaired waterbodies. Public input was solicited. -
