Camp Branch/Lynches Lake, Lake City, Florence County, South Carolina.

Abstract

Several alternative measures to meet the problems and needs of the area are possible; however, some of these measures are not practical or economical. Possible solutions may be divided into two broad categories of structural and nonstructural. Structural measures are designed to modify floods by altering the natural environment. These measures include alternatives which reduce flood elevations, divert floods, change the timing and duration of floods or restrict floods from portions of the flood plain. Nonstructural measures are designed to modify flood damage susceptibility and include modifications to the cultural environment by adjustment in the pattern and mode of land use, by developmental policies and by assistance to affected individuals. Also, a combination of structural and nonstructural measures is possible. Based upon information presented in this report, it is recommended that further study of flood problems in Camp Branch/Lynches Lake be authorized. Estimated study cost for completion of an expanded reconnaissance report is $114,800.
