Lumber companies were cooperating with the Forest Service on fire control and other issues two decades before the federal government purchased its first acre of land under the Weeks Act. Not surprisingly, when it came time to buy land, the Forest Service turned to those same companies first. Establishing the Francis Marion NATIONAL FOREST HISTORY IN SOUTH CAROLINA’S LOWCOUNTRY, 1901–1936 t the end of the nineteenth century, the center of lumber production was shifting from the Northeast and the Great Lakes states to the vast southern Apine belt that stretched in a crescent from Virginia to Texas.

  • 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.
