Study tracks the trickle of coastal flows
Fri, 10 Oct 2008 00:35:00 -0400
Small sensors and wooden flumes are hidden among the trees and natural streams of a forest to record the flow of the dark creek water through the pristine watershed.The information gathered from the equipment sprinkled in the 3,000-acre portion of Arcadia Plantation, west of DeBordieu Plantation, that's zoned to become a large-scale housing development will help builders know the best way to attain natural drainage, said Dan Hitchcock, assistant professor at Clemson University.The study, which began this summer, is important for coastal plains in high-growth communities, where water flow and drainage are critical to prevent flooding and ensure water quality. The information can be used by builders elsewhere who want to mimic the natural flood plains and stream flow found on the property, Hitchcock said.

This year's fall motorcycle rally cost Myrtle Beach police an estimated $37,125 in overtime, according to new statistics that do little else to illuminate the most recent event in the ongoing motorcycle controversy.During the rally, a frequent refrain from motorcyclists was that they were staying out of the city limits of Myrtle Beach, where 15 new laws aimed at curbing rallies were recently passed. Organizers and city officials both said attendance appeared down this year.Even so, police statistics released Thursday, showed about the same number of collisions this year as in the previous two and a high number of calls for service.
