Abstract
This project was funded in part by the EPA under a Capitalization Grant for Drinking Water State Revolving Funds through the SC Department of Environmental Services (SCDES). McCormick Taylor Inc. (MT) was contracted by the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments to develop a watershed-based plan to identify and quantify sources of nonpoint source pollution (nutrients, sediment, and bacteria), analyze impairments related to low dissolved oxygen, and provide project recommendations within the Givhans Ferry Watershed, which is composed of four HUC-12 watersheds (Lower Indian Field Swamp, Halfway Gut Creek-Four Hole Swamp, Poorly Branch-Edisto River, and Skull Branch-Edisto River), and a portion of one additional HUC-12 (Deep Creek-Edisto River). The watersheds in this plan provide a critical source of drinking water for the City of Charleston, Charleston County, Berkeley County, and Dorchester County.
