Water Navigation Charleston-Camden j The age-old dream of dependable, around the clock, Inland waterway transportation connecting the splendid port of Charleston with Columbia, Pamdeu and other points is uearlng realization as an Integral part of the great Suutee-Cooper Navigation and Hydro-Electric Project. It's a long story from the blue-printing of the Idoa to the factual actuality af seeing with one's own eyes the turbulent waters of the mighty Suntou being halted and subdued and being turned backward and outward first to form the upper or Santee Lake and then diverted through an 8-mile channel to fill the lower or Ptnopolia Lake. These great lakes will form two of the most navigable links in the new i direct Santee-Cooper-Congaree water- J way to the capital dlty of the state and with the diversion canal will comprise 66 miles of the 146 mile route. The Santee-Coopor project will afford another 14-mile link in the new j waterway upon the completion of the { four mile tuilraee leading front the i Pinoplis power house to the head- * waters of the tidal estuary, known as the Cooper Kiver and by dredging and t strengthening the bsnks and old rice- t field ilikes on the river for another < ten miles toward the port of Charleston. The collecting link or lock is the steepest of its kind in the world and t is located at the side of he Pinopolis power house where It will lift boats 75 j feet from the tall canal to the surface , of the power-producing waters of tho Pinopolis basin. About 65,000,000 gal- ' Ions of water will pass through tho lock each time It Is operated, taking about ten minutes to fill and 10 minutes to empty. With Authority's 79 mile portion of the new waterway fast Hearing completion Interest is now being centered on a ten foot channel leading from the confluence of the Santee and Wateree Itivers near Fort Motte some 49 miles to Columbia. This portion of the navigation facilities being under the direction of the United States Engineers of the Rivers and Harbors division of the U. S. Army. ?> Lieutenant Colonel Reading Wilkinson of the Charleston office states that a survey has already been made for the proposed channel and that in 1940 the snag-boat Wateree did considerable work in freeing this upper portion of the waterway of snags and in cutting away projecting limbs. Their plans call for the cutting out of reverse curves and the maintenance of the strafghtest possible channel to conform with the excellent navigation facilities afforded by the SanteeCooper's part of the waterway. However, the funds for the completion of this final link are yet to be appropriated by Congress. In the immediate future only self-propelled barges drawing less than five feet will be able to navigate the Congaree from Fort Motte to Columbia hut these will be sufficient to transport oil to the huge storage tanks already built for the purpose at Cayce and to bring back many Items in heavy freight. Much larger boats however will be able to use the Santee-Cooper waterway and it has been called to the attention of. tho Authority that private interests are already negotiating for boats and landing sites on the great lakes to haul pulp wood to the big paper mills at Charleston and Georgetown and to haul fertilizer back. The new waterway will materially improve water-transport between Georgetown and Columbia also for though It will be some 25 miles longer much faster schedules can be had due to tho elimination of 75 miles of hazardous shoals In the lower Santee. Rased on figures for tonnage moved through the port of Charleston to tho tributary territory of some 32,000 square miles, the new waterway will have upon completion a potential peace-time freight annual movement of 1,636,000 tons, which would be considerably augmented during war times. .. As 65 miles of the route will traverse the still waters of the two great lakes of the Santee-Cooper Project freight movements w*ll be materially speeded up and It is estimated that the round trip will take about 49 hours or 87 percent less time than formerly required over the oid uncertain intra-coastal route. No one is able to tell you what mam mal, bird, fish, or Insect outnumbers all others in North America.
