      LNM: Oyster Beds to be Installed, Steamboat Creek, off SC AICW Statute Mile 496


       View In Chartview

      Steamboat Creek cuts the southwestern banks of the North Edisto River, southeast of the ICW/Dawho River and this popular anchorage lies northeast of the charted position of Steamboat Landing. There have been recent local objections from boaters about these floating oyster beds and their implementation may be temporary. Many boaters consider the floating beds to be a danger to navigation and a reduction of anchoring space.

      SOUTH CAROLINA – STONO AND NORTH EDISTO RIVERS – NORTH EDISTO RIVER – STEAMBOAT CREEK: Oyster Farm Project
      Charleston, South Carolina. The activities include the installation of a total of 700 floating OysterGro cages in one project area. The cages will be configured in 28 trawls (or groups) of 25 cages per trawl, with each end of the trawl being anchored by an auger. From the shoreline, the trawls will be established 50’ from the MLW line and continue channelward with 25’ of spacing between parallel trawls. The perimeter of the project will extend up to approximately 205’ wide and 1,685’ in total linear length. The project area will be marked with five white “Danger Obstruction” buoys; two of the five buoys have been deployed in approximate position 32-36-39.600N, 080-16-40.800W (32°36.6600N / 080°16.6800W, 32.611000 / -80.278000) and 32-36-37.620N, 080-16-39.510W (32°36.6270N / 080°16.6585W, 32.610450 / -80.277642), which mark the southwestern end of the project area. Operations will begin on or around July 13, 2020 and conclude June 2022. For further information regarding this project, please contact USCG Sector Charleston, Waterways Management Division at (843) 323-7761. Chart 11522 LNM 28/20

        What on earth are these people thinking? There is a high traffic boat ramp at that location, plus it is a significant year round Anchorage.

        Thank you Larry for this heads up. I see reference to prior objection from boaters on these encroachments into navigable waterways – do you have any links to these? Thank you

      New Charleston Harbor Entrance Chart Available, AICW Statute Mile 465


       View In Chartview

      As of July 4, 2014, new chart 11525 (Charleston Harbor Entrance and Approach) replaces the old chart 11523 (Charleston Harbor Entrance) and Chart 11523 is also replaced with 11528. It expands chart coverage further east, covering an additional 345 square nautical miles that wasn’t on the old chart. The harbor entrance channel intersects the Waterway at statute mile 465. And while this new chart is intended primarily for deep draft commercial vessels, it has value for all vessels navigating the entrance channel jetties which have prompted two recent Navigation Alerts: /?p=142704 and /?p=114481

      UPDATE LNM: 34/14

      Chart Title: SOUTH CAROLINA, CHARLESTON HARBOR ENTRANCE AND APPROACH 11528 1st, Ed 01-Jul-14
      NOAA Chart 11525 has been withdrawn and re-issued as Chart 11528.
      NOAA Chart 11523 25th Edition (South Carolina, Charleston Harbor Entrance) has been cancelled and replaced with NOAA Chart 11528.

      Shoaling Confirmed in Northern Fields Cut, AICW Problem Stretch, Statute Mile 574, 8/20/2014


       View In Chartview

      The intersection of Northern Fields Cut and the Wright River lies north of the intersection of the Waterway and the Savannah River. Shoaling at this Problem Stretch has always been an issue and, even with last year’s dredging, shallow depths might be expected. This new Local Notice confirms earlier reports of severe shoaling as reported on May 21st, see /?p=141095.

      SOUTH CAROLINA-AICW-BEAUFORT RIVER TO ST SIMONS SOUND-FIELDS CUT: SHOALING
      There is shoaling directly in the middle of the AICW in Fields Cut. A depth of 2FT was reported in approximate position 32-05.185N/080-56.022W (32°5.1850N / 080°56.0220W, 32.086417 / -80.933700) during low-tide and poses a hazard to navigation. Mariners are advised to exercise extreme caution while transiting the area. Chart 11507 LNM: 33/14

        Subject, Northern Fields Cut shoal

        FYI, 3 years ago, coming north in the spring, a barge/push boat were coming up behind me so I idled on the side and told the tug captain that I would wait until he passed since I was not familiar with this area. He said I would have no problems as he passed and then he went aground. By the time he managed to push the barge through the shoal, there was a line of boats behind him and me. I called him and thanked him for moving the shoal for us.
