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).

  • Debris Flows in the North Pacolet River Valley, Polk County, North Carolina, USA - Case Studies and Emergency Response Jennifer B
    7th International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation Debris flows in the North Pacolet River valley, Polk County, North Carolina, USA - case studies and emergency response Jennifer B. Bauer a*, Richard M. Wootenb, Bart, L. Cattanachb, Stephen J. Fuemmelera aAppalachian Landslide Consultants, PLLC, PO Box 5516 Asheville, NC 28813, USA bNorth Carolina Geological Survey, 2090 US 70 Hwy, Swannanoa, NC 28778, USA Abstract The North Pacolet River valley is incised into the Blue Ridge Escarpment (BRE) near Tryon in southwestern North Carolina. The BRE is a mountain front that marks the change from the mountainous Blue Ridge physiographic province to the lower, rolling topography of the foothills zone of the Piedmont provinces. This escarpment is often comprised of steep slopes with exposed bedrock cliffs and shallow colluvial soils. The down slope sides of the escarpment have evidence of past slope movements in the form of large scale deposits, debris fans, talus slopes, and dormant debris slides. Debris flows have been documented along the BRE in multiple past storm events including those in 1916, 1940, 1996, and 2004. On May 18, 2018, debris flows again initiated near the top of the BRE slopes and travelled down to the North Pacolet River valley floor during heavy rains on soils with high antecedent moisture contents. At least 27 debris flows were initiated, travelling up to ~966 meters (~3,170 feet) down drainages below. At least 6 homes were damaged or destroyed and one fatality occurred due to these debris flows. Main highways, interstates, and multiple private roads were covered by the debris. Appalachian Landslide Consultants, PLLC (ALC) and the North Carolina Geological Survey (NCGS) responded to this emergency situation in order to provide Polk County Emergency Management information about the stability of the slopes before the arrival of Tropical Depression Alberto just 9 days after the May 18 rains.

List of Waterbody Names, County(ies), Class, and Descriptions A. Criteria for Classes. All adopted classifications must conform to the standards and rules contained within R.61–68, Water Classifications and Standards or site-specific standards listed within this regulation. Unless noted, site- specific standards apply only to the water named and not to tributary or downstream waters. B. Tributaries to Classified Waters. Where surface waters are not classified by name (unlisted) in this regulation, the use classification and numeric standards of the class of the stream to which they are tributary apply, disregarding any site- specific numeric standards for the named waterbody. In tidal areas, where an unlisted tributary may affect or flows between two differently classified waterbodies, regardless of whether the location is upstream or downstream, the more stringent numeric standards of the classified waters apply to the unlisted tributary, disregarding any site-specific numeric standards for those waterbodies. C. Status of Classifications and Reviews. The classification for all bodies of water contained herein supersedes all previous classifications. The classifications listed within this regulation shall be open to review to ensure that the classification use is still valid and justified. D. No Discharge Zone Designations. The Department may determine in accordance with Section 312 of the Clean Water Act that for some waterbodies (or portions of waterbodies), the designation of No Discharge Zone (NDZ) for Marine Sanitation Devices (MSDs) shall be enacted with application of the existing classified standards of the waterbody.

  • The Carolina Foothills:: a Brief History
    The Carolina Foothills:: A Brief History "The land was ours before we were the land's." -- The Gift Outright, by Robert Frost The varied landmarks and sweeping rural and mountain vistas of this region— affectionately known as "The Carolina Foothills" by all who call it home — bear silent witness to the struggles, accomplishments and aspirations of all who have come to this land and made it their own. In a landscape still largely unspoiled by modern day intrusions, echoes of the past can be heard more clearly than in other, more intensely developed locales. The first known settlers in the region were the Cherokee; evidence of their handicraft can still be found in the North Pacolet River valley, where newly cultivated earth still yields up arrowheads and other artifacts. European settlers — primarily English and Scots Irish — began arriving here in the 1750s. The Block House, a trading outpost and defensive structure erected at the junction of present day Polk [NCj, Spartanburg[SC] and Greenville [SC] Counties, was built as the French and Indian War drew to a close. Listed on the National Register as an historic site, this landmark imparts a distinctive character to the surrounding area of residential farms, known locally as "Hunting Country." Several historic sites in the North Pacolet River Valley, nestled into a modern day rural landscape of open fields and residential farms, evoke memories of its'arliest settlers. The Earle and Prince families came from Virginia via The Great Wagon Road in the 1760s. "Four Columns," a graceful antebellum mansion, was built by Baylis Earle in 1807 on land originally granted by King George III.
