Hydrostratigraphy of the AIK-2448 and AIK-2449 core holes in the Breezy Hill area of Aiken County, South Carolina

Hydrostratigraphic units in the updip region of the South Carolina Coastal Plain are delineated by using lithological, hydrological, and geophysical data from two continuously cored boreholes in Aiken County, S.C. Aquifers are 33 to 146 feet thick and, in ascending order, include the McQueen Branch, Crouch Branch, and Steed Pond. They consist of unconsolidated quartz-sand beds of Upper Cretaceous through Miocene age. Confining units are 13 to 34 feet thick and, in ascending order, include the informally named Gramling and the previously named McQueen Branch. They consist of silty clay beds of Upper Cretaceous age and saprolite of Paleozoic age. Hydrogeologic sections illustrate the thickness, lateral continuity, and geographic limits of the units in Aiken County. Hydrostratigraphic units are correlated with those mapped at the Savannah River Site to the south and with those mapped in Orangeburg County to the east

Black Scenic River management plan

This Black Scenic River Management Plan of 2020 outlines a community vision for the Black Scenic River, it reflects public values and aspirations for the river, and it offers ideas and information to address river issues of public interest and concern. The first section of this plan provides an introduction to the Black Scenic River Project. The remaining sections form the core of the management plan and are organized under five resource categories
