The development of the Bratton Plantation largely reflects both a regional and nationwide socio-economic dependence on the institution of slavery. “Brattonsville” would grow to become one of the largest cotton plantations in South Carolina, at one-point enslaving 139 peoples. Due in part to the extensive history of slavery at the site, Historic Brattonsville offers a distinct perspective into a community which endured slavery’s brutality and undoubtedly resisted it through the claiming of individual aspects of the landscape for themselves.

This document has been prepared in accordance with the National Environment Policy Act, and refl~ts comments ~ceived on an ~arlier draft released in October 1995 for review by the public. The document presents the analyses of the environment impacts of alternatives for tile disposition of weapons-usable higtiy enriched uranium (HEU) that has been declared surplus to national defense needs. The Department proposes to elimina~ the proliferation threat of surplus HEU by blending it down to low enriched uranium (LEU), which is not weapons-usable. The EIS assesses the disposition of a nominal 200 metric tons of surplus HEU. The Prefe*d Mtemative is, where practical, to blend the material for sde as LEU and use over time, in commemial nuclear reactor fuel to recover its economic value. ~dtetid that cannot be economically recovered would be blended to LEU for disposd as low-level radioactive waste.

Present Use: Storage Significance: Graniteville Mill was one of the largest mills in the South during the antebellum period. The original mill, canal, school house, and a number of original Gothic Revival houses are still extant at Graniteville and form the core of a National Historic Landmark community. The granite mill building and canal system constructed in the late 1840s represent an early example of technology transfer from the New England textile industry to the South. The company-owned mill village of hotel, stores, boarding houses, and Gothic Revival single family dwellings at Graniteville established a community structure that would become widespread throughout the Piedmont South during the late nineteenth century. The initial success and subsequent longevity of Graniteville's textile industry have enabled this important example of pre-Civil War Southern industrial development to survive to the present. Historian: Lisa Pfueller Davidson, Robert Stewart (Part II: Graniteville Manufacturing Technology) Project Information: The Southern Textile Industry Project of the Historic American Engineering Record began studying Graniteville, South Carolina during 1997. Dean Herrin (HAER Historian, Washington, DC) was project leader.

  • US 1 / US 78 Corridor Study (Executive Summary)
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1 Implications of Doing Nothing The U.S. 1/U.S. 78 Corridor Study addressed the needs, concerns, and future vision for the 12-mile corridor from the Savannah River to Hitchcock Parkway/Robert M. Bell Parkway (SC 118). Historically the Midland Valley, or Horse Creek Valley as it is referred to in the Aiken-Augusta region, was a textile region with several mills using the creeks for power. This created a vibrant economy in the region and fueled the construction of numerous mill villages. This success spurred the development of the current corridor as a bypass to the congestion on SC 421. U.S. 1/U.S. 78 was completed in the 1970s to provide a quicker route between the two economic anchors of Aiken and Augusta. Since that time, development and traffic growth have slowly moved from SC 421 to the more convenient U.S. 1 corridor. Today this highway functions as a “Main Street” for Aiken County, an entrance that showcases the County’s natural beauty and a variety of homes and businesses. However, if this growth is not managed properly, the corridor will likely go the way of so many suburban thoroughfares - endless driveways, signage clutter and sub-standard building designs that will negatively impact the quality of life in the region. As shown in the picture, the Savannah River Scenic Highway (Washington Road) in Augusta is an example of a major thoroughfare where growth was not managed properly, and solutions to alleviate congestion and improve safety far exceed the available dollars. Changes in land use along U.S.

    Geological Survey Research 1960 Synopsis of Geologic Results GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 400-A Geological Survey Research 1960 THOMAS B. NOLAN, Director GEOLOGICAL SURVEY PROFESSIONAL PAPER 400 A synopsis ofgeologic results, accompanied by short papers in the geological sciences. Published separately as chapters A and B UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE, WASHINGTON : 1960 FOREWORD The activities of the United States Geological Survey encompass projects that span the full range of the geological sciences. The volume and complexity of such a research program make it difficult to review, coordinate, and release the results of the work as quickly as is de­ sirable; as a result considerable time normally elapses between the completion of many in­ vestigations and the publication of the final reports. And yet this same volume and com­ plexity make it the more essential that some means be found to digest and make available to all the new ideas and new discoveries that have been achieved. In an effort to help solve this problem the present volume has been prepared; it sum­ marizes the results of the recent work of the Geologic Division of the Survey. The report consists of two main parts: Chapter A, "Synopsis of Geologic Results," is primarily a summary of important new findings, either as yet unpublished or published during the fiscal year 1960 the 12 months ending June 30, 1960. It also includes a list of investigations in progress during that period, along with the names and headquarters of those in charge of each, and a list of reports published or otherwise made available to the public during the same period.
