    Little Pee Dee-Lumber Focus Area Conservation Plan South Carolina Department of Natural Resources February 2017 Little Pee Dee-Lumber Focus Area Conservation Plan Prepared by Lorianne Riggin and Bob Perry1, and Dr. Scott Howard2 February 2017 Acknowledgements The preparers thank the following South Carolina Department of Natural Resources staff for their special expertise and contributions toward the completion of this report: Heritage Trust data base manager Julie Holling; GIS applications manager Tyler Brown for mapping and listing of protected properties; archeologist Sean Taylor for information on cultural resources; fisheries biologists Kevin Kubach, Jason Marsik, and Robert Stroud for information regarding aquatic resources; hydrologist Andy Wachob for information on hydrologic resources; and wildlife biologists James Fowler, Dean Harrigal, Sam Stokes, Jr. and Amy Tegler for information regarding wildlife resources. 1 South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Office of Environmental Programs. 2 South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Geological Survey. i Little Pee Dee-Lumber Focus Area Conservation Plan The goal of this conservation plan is to provide science-based guidance for future decisions to protect natural resource, riparian corridors and traditional landscape uses such as fish and wildlife management, hunting, fishing, agriculture and forestry. Such planning is valuable in the context of protecting Waters of the United States in accordance with the Clean Water Act, particularly when the interests of economic development and protection of natural and cultural resources collide. Such planning is vital in the absence of specific watershed planning. As additional information is gathered by the focus area partners, and as further landscape-scale conservation goals are achieved, this plan will be updated accordingly.

  • Chattooga Scoping Document Dear Mr. Cleeves
    "Chris Hellmann" To: <[email protected]> <[email protected] cc: et> Subject: Chatooga comment 09/12/2007 04:57 PM John Cleeves U.S. Forest Service 4931 Broad River Road Columbia, SC 29212 RE: Chattooga Scoping Document Dear Mr. Cleeves, After reading the scoping document I am very concerned that all of these alternatives offer very limited boating opportunities. Based on the history of this project I believe much of the discussion has been predicated with an assumption of conflict between the needs of fisherman and whitewater boaters. As someone who partakes in both activities and does so throughout a wide area (Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Colorado, Washington, and Georgia) I see little to suggest these two sports are mutually exclusive. Most whitewater boaters want to run the rivers in this area when they are at high levels. Levels that are higher than most fisherman consider ideal. When the river level is ideal for fishing its usually too low to be of interest to whitewater boating. Most whitewater boaters are very considerate of fisherman and make an effort to pass by as far away as possible so as not to disturb them. Unfortunately there are occasionally a few boaters who don’t and those of us who do make an effort to discipline them when we see this happening. Whitewater boating is one of the lowest environmental impact activities one can take part in the wilderness. It truly epitomizes the “Leave No Trace ethic”. Unless a portage is required there are literally no traces left of boater activity.

    UMBER RIVER (a)(ii) Wild & Scenic River Study Report United States Department of the Interior January 1998 National Park Service Southeast Region United States Department of the Interior NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Southeast Regional Office Atlanta Federal Center IN REPLY REFER TO: 1924 Building 100 Alabama St., S.W. Atlanta, Georgia 30303 April 17, 1998 Dear Interested Party: The Nationai.Park Se:rvice is extending the public comment period for the draft Lumber River 2(a)(ii) Wild & Scenic River Study Report and Environmental Assessment through June 12, 1998. If you have any questions regarding this extension or the draft report and environmental assessment, please contact Mary Rountree at 404-562-3175. Sincerely, ~;{/~ Mary K. Rountree Landscape Architect Executive Summary On April15, 1996, North Carolina Governor James Hunt petitioned the Secretary of the United States Deparhnent of the Interior to designate the Lumber River in North Carolina a national wild and scenic river. The National Park Service is conducting the assessment of North Carolina's application according to Deparhnent of the Interior guidelines. The National Park Service is conducting the environmental analysis required by the National Environmental Policy Act. This document represents the draft of both those analyses and is being released in order to solicit public and agency comment. The state of North Carolina and the Lumber River fully met three of four requirements for designation as a National Wild and Scenic River. The requirements that were fully met include: 1) designation of the river into a State wild and scenic river system; 2) management of the river by a political subdivision of the State; and 3) possession of eligibility criteria common to all national wild and scenic rivers, that is, the river is free-flowing and possesses one or more outstandingly remarkable values.
