The Columbia Canal, originally completed in 1824 to provide navigation past local rapids, was redesigned in 1891 to provide hydroelectric power to local industries. The red brick building in the center of the photograph was built in the 1890s and houses the pumps once used by the City of Columbia to supply water to its citizens. Although use of this pumping plant ended in the early 1970s, the canal still serves as a source of public-supply water and hydroelectric power for the City. Today, these buildings and the canal form part of Columbias Riverfront Park. (Photograph by Andrew Wachob, S.C. Department of Natural Resources.) SOUTH CAROLINA WATER PLAN Second Edition by A. W.

Orangeburg, SC 29116 Telephone: 803/536-6443 Respectfully submitted, Fax: 803/531-4629 Michael McShane Chairman iii PREFACE South Carolina experienced one of its worst multiyear droughts on record during the period from June 1998 to August 2002. Average precipitation was 10-30 percent below normal during the drought. Streamflows were at historic lows throughout the State, threatening water-supply intakes and causing saltwater intrusion in coastal areas. Lakes were being drained to perilously low levels in order to sustain water demands and downstream flows. Levels in Lake Thurmond, for example, dropped so low that the lake had only a few months of storage remaining for downstream flow requirements. Lakes in North Carolina, on the Yadkin-Pee Dee River, were being drained to meet water demands of North Carolina and of major industries in South Carolina, and to prevent saltwater intrusion from contaminating supply intakes in the Grand Strand area. Ground-water levels in shallow and deep aquifers dropped to record lows. Pumps in municipal and domestic wells had to be lowered, wells had to be deepened and, in some cases, new wells had to be drilled to keep pace with declines. Ground water levels in some areas of the State declined to the point that streams were losing water to the ground, the reverse of what normally occurs. What if the drought had continued for another year? The thought of this had policy makers thinking about water. Suddenly, lawyers were reviewing State water laws and water-resource managers were thinking of more effective ways to manage water in the State. The drought, in fact, marked a turning point in how we viewed our water resources. The belief that only water-starved western states could run out of water was replaced by the stark realization that we could run out of water too. Water could no longer be taken for granted in South Carolina. This is the lesson that we learned from the drought. Undoubtedly, the recent drought was one of the worst on record, but its effects were also compounded by population increases that have taken place during the past 50 years. South Carolinas population has nearly doubled during this period, growing from 2.1 million in 1950 to 4.0 million in 2000. The population will continue to grow and the demand for water will correspondingly increase, but the amount of water that is available will remain essentially the same. What steps should the State take now to ensure that adequate amounts of water will be available in the future? This revision to the South Carolina Water Plan addresses this question. The Water Plan recognizes the economic importance of water and the multitude of uses that it has, from hydropower generation and water supply, to recreation and tourism. A fair and balanced approach to managing the resource must consider all users. The goal is to wisely use the water that is available to meet growing demands without jeopardizing the health, welfare, and quality of life of future generations. The South Carolina Water Plan provides guidelines for achieving such a goal. iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 1998, the Department of Natural Resources published the first edition of the South Carolina Water Plan, a guide for managing the States

    2010 ARTS ADVOCACY HANDBOOK Celebrating 30 Years of Service to the Arts January 2010 Dear Arts Leader: As we celebrate our 30th year of service to the arts, we know that “Art Works in South Carolina” – in our classrooms and in our communities. We also know that effective advocacy must take place every day! And there has never been a more important time to advocate for the arts than NOW. With drastic funding reductions to the South Carolina Arts Commission and arts education programs within the S. C. Department of Education, state arts funding has never been more in jeopardy. On February 2nd, the South Carolina Arts Alliance will host Arts Advocacy Day – a special opportunity to celebrate the arts – to gather with colleagues and legislators – and to express support for state funding of the arts and arts education! Meet us at the Statehouse, 1st floor lobby (enter at the Sumter Street side) by 11:30 AM, to pick up one of our ART WORKS IN SOUTH CAROLINA “hard-hats” and advocacy buttons to wear. If you already have a hat or button, please bring them! We’ll greet Legislators as they arrive on the 1st floor and 2nd floors. From the chamber galleries, you can view the arts being recognized on the House and Senate floors. You may want to “call out” your legislator to let him or her know you are at the Statehouse and plan to attend the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon. Then join arts leaders and legislators at the Legislative Appreciation Luncheon honoring the Legislative Arts Caucus.

  • 03050201-010 (Lake Moultrie)
    03050201-010 (Lake Moultrie) General Description Watershed 03050201-010 is located in Berkeley County and consists primarily of Lake Moultrie and its tributaries. The watershed occupies 87,730 acres of the Lower Coastal Plain region of South Carolina. The predominant soil types consist of an association of the Yauhannah-Yemassee-Rains- Lynchburg series. The erodibility of the soil (K) averages 0.17 and the slope of the terrain averages 1%, with a range of 0-2%. Land use/land cover in the watershed includes: 64.4% water, 21.1% forested land, 5.4% forested wetland, 4.1% urban land, 3.1% scrub/shrub land, 1.4% agricultural land, and 0.5% barren land. Lake Moultrie was created by diverting the Santee River (Lake Marion) through a 7.5 mile Diversion Canal filling a levee-sided basin and impounding it with the Pinopolis Dam. South Carolina Public Service Authority (Santee Cooper) oversees the operation of Lake Moultrie, which is used for power generation, recreation, and water supply. The 4.5 mile Tail Race Canal connects Lake Moultrie with the Cooper River near the Town of Moncks Corner, and the Rediversion Canal connects Lake Moultrie with the lower Santee River. Duck Pond Creek enters the lake on its western shore. The Tail Race Canal accepts the drainage of California Branch and the Old Santee Canal. There are a total of 43.8 stream miles and 57,535.3 acres of lake waters in this watershed, all classified FW. Additional natural resources in the watershed include the Dennis Wildlife Center near the Town of Bonneau, Sandy Beach Water Fowl Area along the northern lakeshore, the Santee National Wildlife Refuge covering the lower half of the lake, and the Old Santee Canal State Park near Monks Corner.

  • Haley up Big, Sheheen Narrowly in SC Governor Primaries
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 25, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 Haley Up Big, Sheheen Narrowly in SC Governor Primaries Raleigh, N.C. – Polled over the weekend, before news broke of possible marital infidelity by gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley, South Carolina Republicans favor her by a wide margin over her primary opponents to replace outgoing governor Mark Sanford. Meanwhile, Jim Rex and Vincent Sheheen are in a tight battle for the Democratic nomination heading into the June 8th vote. Haley leads at 39%, with the other three contenders grappling for traction in the teens, Henry McMaster at 18, Gresham Barrett at 16, and Andre Bauer at 13. About as many, 14%, are undecided as favor the latter three. Haley and McMaster are both very well liked, with 47-13 and 43-22 favorability marks, while views on Bauer are decidedly negative, at 26-49. Barrett comes in at 28-18. Sheheen tops Rex 36 to 30, with Robert Ford at 11% and 23% still undecided. Over half of Democratic primary voters still have no opinion of Sheheen and Rex, but Sheheen is more popular, with a 31-11 favorability margin to Rex’s 29-19. Sanford still gets a 51% job approval rating among his base electorate, to 36% who disapprove. That is similar to December’s 50-34 margin among all Republican voters. Brought back to the fore with the recent comments by Kentucky Republican Senate nominee Rand Paul, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is supported by 58% of South Carolina Republican primary voters and opposed by only 15%, with 27% unsure.
