Lake Blalock

Lake Blalock (formally, the H. Taylor Blalock Reservoir) is a reservoir in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, located on the Pacolet River about five miles north of Spartanburg. After its creation was authorized in 1976 by the Commissioners of Spartanburg Water System, Blalock Dam was constructed in 1983. The existing earthen dam is approximately 700 ft (210 m). long and 70 ft (21 m) high. It was originally designed for a normal operating pool of 700 feet (210 m), and the lake had approximately 35 miles (56 km) of shoreline. The existing spillway has a crest length of 270 ft (82 m). To increase the safe yield of the reservoir, Spartanburg Water System raised the level of Lake Blalock by 10 feet (3.0 m), increasing the water surface elevation to 710 feet (220 m) in 2004. This project was completed in 2006 and involved overlaying the existing earthen dam with a layer of roller compacted concrete, approximately 3 ft (0.91 m) in thickness, and constructing a new RCC stilling basin. The existing spillway was also upgraded by furnishing and installing three hydraulically operated spillway crest gates, constructing a new cast-in-place concrete ogee crest, and constructing a bridge across the spillway. In addition, the project also cleared approximately 300 acres (120 ha) (42 miles (68 km) of shoreline) around the perimeter of the reservoir.

Lake Conestee Nature Park

Lake Conestee Nature Park (Conestee Sø Naturpark på dansk) er en offentlig naturpark i Conestee, South Carolina i USA, og er opkaldt efter søen beliggende i den, Lake Conestee. Parken følger floden Reedy River og er ofte brugt af videnskabsmænd til fuglestudier. Geografi Lake Conestee Nature Park indeholder 160 hektar jord og indeholder mere end fem mil af stier. Parken også indeholder skove, vådområder, og en stor mangfoldighed af dyr. Historie Lake Conestee blev dannet, da Reedy River blev opdæmmet ved Conestee Mill i 1892. Da søen var størst, havde den et areal på omkring 53 ha men mange års vandforurening og vandstand har fyldt omkring 90 % af søen med sediment. I 2000 oprettedes Conestee Foundation, og det grundlagde naturparken. Ifølge fundatsen er organisationen dedikeret til bevaringen og forbedringer af naturparken. Videnskab Mere end 190 arter fugle forekommer i Lake Conestee Nature Park, ifølge Greenville County Bird Club. National Audubon Society udpegede parken som et betydningsfuldt fuglereservat. Turistattraktioner Conestee Mill, en historisk vandmølle, ligger i Lake Conestee Nature Park. Historien om møllen går tilbage til slutningen af 18. århundrede.

Conestee Nature Preserve

Conestee Nature Preserve, formerly Lake Conestee Nature Preserve/Park, opened in 2006, is a 400-acre (160 ha) preserve along three miles of the Reedy River in Conestee, South Carolina, with 13 miles (20.9 km) of trails, more than 6 miles (9.7 km) of them paved and 1 mile (1.6 km) of boardwalk. The Preserve contains both hardwood and evergreen forest, extensive wetlands, and a rich diversity of reptiles, mammals, and birds. At least 223 bird species have been reported, and the National Audubon Society has designated the park as an Important Bird Area of Global Significance. In 2016 the state of South Carolina made the privately owned facility a wildlife sanctuary. Lake Conestee was created when the Reedy River was dammed at the Conestee Mill in about 1892. At its largest extent, the lake covered about 130 acres (53 ha), but years of upstream industrial waste and discharge filled about 90 percent of the lake with sediment so toxic that the lake was classified as a Superfund site. In 2000 the Conestee Foundation, a 501(c)(3) conservation organization, was formed to lead the revitalization of the lake as a wetlands through the development of the nature preserve, and the foundation used settlement funds from a June 1996 Colonial Pipeline spill to purchase the lake and the dam. Once safety studies of the brownfield were complete, it was determined that no harm would result if the toxic sediment were left in place. In December 2016, inspectors from the state Department of Health and Environmental Control rated Conestee Dam, which is not keyed into the bedrock, in poor condition due to deterioration of mortar and water seepage.

Faber House

The Faber House is a historic building in Hampstead Village in Charleston, South Carolina that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. History The name of the Faber House refers both to Henry F. Faber, who started the construction of the house, as well as his brother Joseph W. Faber, who finished the house. The brothers had jointly bought an entire block with the plans of splitting the land and building two houses for themselves. The Faber House—on the half of the block to be used by Henry Faber—had not been completed when he died in 1839, and his widow sold it to her brother-in-law, Joseph W. Faber. The house had fallen into serious disrepair by the 1960s. In 1964, a municipal low-income housing project was slated for the site and the surrounding area; the house would have been demolished and replaced with several dozen housing units. The housing would have especially been used to relocate families that had been displaced by the construction of I-26 through the peninsula. A proposal to relocate the headquarters of the State Ports Authority to the house was rejected in October 1965; among other concerns, the SPA would have to have built additional offices on the rear of the property. The Historic Charleston Foundation acquired the house to restore it and hold until a preservation-minded buyer could be found. The Foundation hired Herbert DaCosta, Jr. to perform a partial restoration of some features and a stabilization of the house. The repair work began in February 1966. On the night of June 23, 1969, the house suffered fire damage when a street flare was taken from a nearby road construction project and thrown through a first floor window; Charleston was experiencing widespread civil unrest at the time with racial protests occurring at several locations and several reports of vandalism. The Arthur Ravenel Co., a real estate firm, bought the house and its one-acre lot in 1971 from the Historic Charleston Foundation with plans to restore the house, use the ground floor as offices, convert the upper floors to two apartments, and convert the detached dependencies to residences too. Architecture The Faber House exemplifies Palladian design. A notable feature is the two-story portico with four Ionic columns set on a 15-foot ground floor with arches. Atop the house is a cupola with a finial; the original finial was struck by lightning in 1973 but replicated. References
Leath Correctional Institution

Leath Correctional Institution (LCIW) is a South Carolina Department of Corrections prison for women located in unincorporated Greenwood County, South Carolina, United States, near Greenwood. Leath opened in 1991. It is located just east of the Greenwood County Airport. The prison, on a 39-acre (16 ha) plot of land, has a capacity of 968. History The prison opened in September 1991. In the early 1990s a company called Third Generation contracted the manufacture of women's underwear to 35 Leath prisoners. These prisoners produced about $1.5 million worth of clothing. J.C. Penney, Victoria's Secret, and other companies bought this underwear for resale. This was revealed in a 1995 National Institute for Justice study. The contract was terminated by the mid-1990s. The prison's Braille Production Center, in which inmates make braille materials for schoolchildren, opened in 2002. The current chapel was dedicated on February 21, 2013. Demographics As of 2016 the prison has 105 corrections officers and 40 non-security personnel, as well as 562 prisoners.

ГЕС St. Stephen

ГЕС St. Stephen — гідроелектростанція у штаті Південна Кароліна (Сполучені Штати Америки). Разом з ГЕС Jefferies живиться за рахунок дериваційної схеми, котра постачає воду із річки Санті (впадає до Атлантичного океану за шість десятків кілометрів на північний схід від Чарлстону). Можливо також відзначити, що вище по сточищу на витоках Санті працюють інші гідрогенеруючі об'єкти, такі як ГЕС Ватірі та ГЕС Салуда. У 1942 році ввели в дію дериваційну ГЕС Jefferies, проект якої передбачав перекидання ресурсу з Санті у значно меншу річку Купер, що впадає до гавані Чарлстону. Для цього Санті перекрили греблею Вілсон, виконаною як комбінована споруда із двох земляних ділянок висотою 12 і 15 метрів та довжиною 4500 і 7100 метрів, розділених бетонним контрфорсним водоскидом довжиною 1036 метрів. З утвореного нею сховища Маріон через водорозділ із Купер проклали канал довжиною 8 км з шириною від 61 (по дну) до 122 (по поверхні) метрів, який виводить до водосховища Moultrie, створеного на Купер земляною греблею Пінополіс висотою 23 метри та довжиною 11,9 км. Сумарна площа поверхні озер Маріон та Moultrie становить 647 км2, а їх корисний об'єм — 653 млн м3. Внаслідок зведення цього гідрокомплексу розпочалось активне замулювання гавані Чарлстон, що покликало до життя ще один дериваційний проект Cooper River Rediversion Project. Він передбачав повернення води зі сховища Moultrie назад до Санті, але дещо нижче за течією, ніж гребля Вілсон, із одночасним зменшенням потоку через Купер. У межах проекту проклали канал завдовжки майже 14 км, приблизно посередині якого спорудили машинний зал ГЕС St. Stephen. Останній обладнали трьома турбінами потужністю по 28 МВт, які використовують чистий напір у 15 метрів. Примітки

ГЕС Роккі-Крік/Чедар-Крік

ГЕС Роккі-Крік/Чедар-Крік — комплекс із двох гідроелектростанцій у штаті Південна Кароліна (Сполучені Штати Америки). Знаходячись між ГЕС Грейт-Фолс/Дерборн (вище по течії) та ГЕС Ватірі, входить до складу каскаду на річці Катавба (в нижній течії Ватірі), яка дренує східний схил хребта Блу-Рідж (Аппалачі) та є лівим витоком річки Санті (впадає до Атлантичного океану за шість десятків кілометрів на північний схід від Чарлстону). У районі станції у річці зведена бетонна водозливна гребля П-подібної форми висотою 21 метр та загальною довжиною 554 метри. Її паралельні до русла бічні частини довжиною 202 метри та 40 метрів разом з берегами долини формують короткі підвідні канали до двох машинних залів. Гребля утримує водосховище з площею поверхні 3 км2 та корисним об'ємом 2,7 млн м3. Біля правого берегу розташований введений у експлуатацію в 1909 році машинний зал Роккі-Крік з вісьмома турбінами типу Френсіс — шістьома потужністю по 3 МВт та двома з показником по 4,5 МВт (загальна номінальна потужність залу рахується як 25,8 МВт). А в 1926 році біля лівого берегу став до ладу машинний зал Чедар-Крік з трьома турбінами того ж типу, одна з яких номінована на 15 МВт, а дві мають потужність по 18 МВт (у цілому для ГЕС Чедар-Крік потужність рахується як 43 МВт). Можливо також відзначити, що максимальний рівень поверхні у водосховищі Чедар-Крік становить 86,7 метра НРМ, а у розташованому далі резервуарі Ватірі — 68,7 метра НРМ. Зв'язок з енергосистемою відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованих на роботу під напругою 44 кВ (Роккі-Крік) та 100 кВ (Чедар-Крік). Примітки
