Tucker warns erosion has grown in 40 years and questions what the next four decades will reveal. Hitchcock Woods Foundation water specialist Eric Grande notes a 10 foot pipe headwaters gushing water into the Sand River gully, described as a wall of water large enough to drive a truck through.
In Aiken, Hitchcock Woods is described as a stormwater dumping ground with items washing down from the city. On a single tour, reporters found a machete, oyster shells, bottles, railroad fragments, pottery and arrowheads among sand and clay while researchers install sensors to map water flow from two main drainage basins northeast to southwest.
Post told City Council during a May 9 work session his stormwater team will use past storm data to model future events. They meet weekly to study data and simulate storms to test retention areas and confirm pond placement. An engineering consultant may define future projects to slow and manage water flow rather than simply collect it.
The partnership aims to curb erosion at Hitchcock Woods with the City and Woods officials proposing immediate damage control and long term restoration. Mayor Osbon stresses collaboration while Rolke emphasizes protecting the property and joint planning with the Woods. Dan Brown reports.
The proposed Seattle water park near Murphy Village appears unlikely to open this year after a 2.2 million sale of the site to 1SoCar Investments LLC. John Burke, linked to the buyer, has a 57 year old history of fraud and theft charges and probation in Pennsylvania. Cedar Rock Holdings and ISoCar Investments say investors were unaware of Burke’s past and aim to continue development.
