Commissioners of the Poor House Records, 1801 – 1917 Records of the Historic Preservation Planner, Berkeley-Charleston- Dorchester Council of Governments, 1970–1981 Repository Charleston County Public Library, Charleston Archive. 68 Calhoun Street, Charleston, SC 29401. 843-805-6967. Title Records of the Historic Preservation Planner, Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments, 1970–1981 Dates 1970–1981 Extent 13 linear feet Creator Bull, Elias Ball. Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments. Historic Preservation Planner. Language English Scope and Content This collection contains the records of the historic preservation planner of the Berkeley- Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG), 1970–1981. The bulk of the collection is the research materials collected for the publication Historic Preservation Plan: Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Region (Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Regional Planning Council, 1972). Other records consist of non-survey regional research materials, general business files of the BCDCOG historic preservation department, and topical and miscellaneous files. The bulk of the materials in this collection are housed in numbered files that correspond to the numbered survey sites listed in the Historic Preservation Plan (HPP): the first digit designates the county in which the site is located (1=Berkeley, 2=Charleston, 3=Dorchester); the second digit, the preservation area within the county, either the old parishes used as tax districts or the natural boundaries of large land areas; and the third digit is the number assigned to each specific site within the preservation area. Many files contain copies of completed form for the National Register of Historic Places and original photographs. Numbered files for sites not listed in the publication and/or those inventoried after publication of the HPP are included in this series as well. For further details and background of the survey, please see the HPP. A complete list of South Carolina properties on the National Register of Historic Places is located on the South http://charlestonarchive.org Carolina Department of Archives and History website at www.state.sc.us/scdah. Digital scans of original National Register forms for Charleston County sites are located at www.nationalregister.sc.gov/nrlinks.htm. The non-survey regional materials in this collection, arranged alphabetically by county, include additional historic sites and miscellaneous topics not covered in the HPP. The BCDCOG materials include materials concerning the South Carolina American Revolution Bicentennial Commission (1972–76); Elias Bull Professional Correspondence (1970–78); and David Chamberlain Professional Correspondence (1978–1981). Topical and miscellaneous files include historic preservation legislation; historic preservation; publications and papers; regional historic site surveys and inventories; newspaper clippings (1950s–70s); and photographs. Of interest is the correspondence file of the city planner of the Charleston County Planning Department, which highlights historic preservation activities in Charleston during the 1950s and 1960s. Newspaper clippings (1950s–70s) from the Charleston News and Courier and the Charleston Evening Post cover such topics as historic preservation, the 1970 South Carolina Tricentennial, and urban redevelopment and slum clearance. The photographs consist of a collection of negatives, contact sheets, black and white prints that depict sites in the Historic Preservation Plan, National Register properties, and regional subjects of historic interest. Administrative/Biographical History Elias Ball Bull was the tri-county region’s first historic preservation planner. His work at the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG) historic preservation division coincided with the zenith of the historic preservation movement in the United States, which began with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 that established the National Register of Historic Places program. That same year South Carolina Governor Robert E. McNair declared state support for preservation efforts and established a Historic Resources Inter-Agency Council that brought various state departments together. As a result, a new Historic Resources Division was added to the South Carolina Archives Department, which became known as the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH). The Berkeley-Charleston Regional Planning Commission, which later became known as the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Regional Planning Commission (BCDRPC), was awarded a federal historic preservation survey and planning grant for “services on any activity directly related to the location and documentation of historic places in Charleston and Berkeley Counties” in 1970. Consequently, Elias Bull was hired as a planning analyst/historical researcher for production of a regional historic survey. The Historic Preservation Plan, written by Bull and published in 1972, was partially funded through this federal grant along with local and state funds. The HPP was the first promotion of preservation on a regional scale in the tri-county area. While serving as historic preservation planner, Bull was also active in the county’s 1976 American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and produced the Historic Preservation Inventory, Berkeley County. Bull’s greatest legacy, however, is the copious research notes and materials that he gathered on historic sites and landmarks throughout the tri-county region. In 1976, the BCDRPC changed its title to the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (BCDCOG) to reflect the statewide organization of ten Councils of Government established by state legislation passed in 1967. The BCDCOG relocated to the old Citadel Annex on Marion Square in 1978, with Bull retiring that same year. David Chamberlain succeeded Bull as historic preservation planner and remained in that position until 1981, at which time the http://charlestonarchive.org 2 historic preservation division of BCDCOG was abolished because federal funding was discontinued. Today the BCDCOG is located in North Charleston and continues regional planning and development efforts. Historic preservation planning for the tri-county area is now handled through a regional office of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History.

  • 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.

  • An Evolved Understanding: an Examination of the National
    AN EVOLVED UNDERSTANDING: AN EXAMINATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE’S APPROACH TO THE CULTURAL LANDSCAPE AT CHATHAM MANOR, FREDERICKSBURG AND SPOTSYLVANIA NATIONAL MILITARY PARK A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts by Olivia Holly Heckendorf August 2019 © 2019 Olivia Holly Heckendorf ii ABSTRACT Chatham Manor became part of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park in December 1975 after the death of its last private owner, John Lee Pratt. Constructed between 1768 and 1771, Chatham Manor has always been intertwined with the landscape and has gained significance throughout its 250-year lifespan. With each subsequent owner and period of time Chatham Manor has gained significance as a cultural landscape. Since its acquisition in 1975, the National Park Service has grappled with the significance and interpretation of Chatham Manor as a cultural landscape. This thesis provides an analysis of the National Park Service’s ideas of significance and interpretation of the cultural landscape at Chatham Manor. This is done through a discussion of several interpretive planning documents and correspondences from the staff of the National Park Service, including interpretive prospectuses, a general management plan, and long-range interpretive plan. In addition, the influence of both superintendents and staff is taken into consideration. Through the analysis of these documents, it was realized that the understanding of cultural landscapes is continuing to evolve within the National Park Service. In the 1960s and 1970s Chatham Manor was considered significant and interpreted almost solely for its association with the Civil War.

  • History of South Carolina State Parks
    H «ks History of South < Carolina State Parks Revised July 9, 1992 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from LYRASIS Members and Sloan Foundation http://archive.org/details/historyofsouthcaOOunse HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA STATE PARKS Revised July 9, 1992 In the early twentieth century, man began to have more freedom due to the progress of invention and industry. He began to look for areas where he could enjoy life, be with his family - close to nature and recreational areas. He needed land where he could see America as the first man did. All across the nation, people began to look for these places. The answer to their quest was in the creation of parks for the people, both state and national. THE BEGINNING Taking a cue from the establishment of the national parks, South Carolina began to think of state parks for her people. In 1934, the South Carolina General Assembly passed an act charging the South Carolina Commission of Forestry with the responsibility of state parks. This act was signed into law by Governor Ibra C. Blackwood. This action was prompted by the people of Cheraw who had donated 706 acres to South Carolina to be used as a state park. South Carolina was now on its way to providing her people with the recreational outlets they needed. THE WORK OF THE C.C.C. The development of the parks owes its greatest debt to the many young men who created the parks. In 1933 the Civilian Conservation Corps was established by the United States Congress under the direction of President Franklin Roosevelt.
