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.
Medical Facilities
