Stream Restoration and Monitoring<\/h3>\n

Hunnicutt Creek is an important asset to Clemson University. It is the primary pathway of water that drains from roadways and parking areas located around campus.The Hunnicutt research team, which is primarily composed of Clemson University undergraduate students, is actively trying to maintain a healthy system by restoring the riparian zone. A riparian zone is the surrounding area of a stream bank that acts as a buffer from chemicals and other harmful elements that could degrade the quality of a stream. One way the students are restoring the riparian zone is by removing invasive species of plants (see the Invasive Species webpage). While the riparian zone is being restored, they are monitoring the quality of the stream in multiple ways. Once a month, the Hunnicutt research team collects information from multiple significant locations along the stream and enter the data into the SCAAS website or other database. They are also working with instrumentation that collects data such as velocity, depth, and other physical measurements. Annually, they go out into the field and survey cross-sections and longitudinal profiles of the creek to see how the channel geometry has changed over time. They hope that this will help them better understand how Hunnicutt Creek is reacting to restoration efforts as well as major rain events and human influences.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

South Carolina Adopt-A-Stream<\/h3>\n
\n

South Carolina Adopt-A-Stream (SCAAS) is a volunteer-based monitoring program that has branched from the original Georgia Adopt-A-Stream. The program\u2019s five goals are summarized by ADOPT: increase public Awareness , collect quality baseline water quality Data , gather Observations , encourage Partnerships between citizens and their local government, and provide citizens with the Tools and Training to evaluate and protect their local waterways. SCAAS emphasizes research regarding chemical qualities (pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen), bacteria (E.coli), macroinvertebrates, and amphibians. We have implemented these SCAAS protocols into our adaptive management plan and are monitoring the Hunnicutt Creek for both chemical and biological factors. These factors will be monitored monthly with the results uploaded to the SCAAS website to form a documented data set. The data collected from these surveys will help determine overall water quality and stream health for not only the restoration site but for the Hunnicutt Creek watershed as a whole. To learn more about this program, visit Clemson’s webpage .<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n

The ecological health of Hunnicutt Creek is assessed through the identification and counting of aquatic macroinvertebrates, which serve as indicators of stream quality. Restoration efforts on the creek are expected to change the composition of these macroinvertebrate species. Additionally, amphibian monitoring and the propagation of native plant species contribute to the overall restoration trajectory of Hunnicutt Creek.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Macroinvertebrates<\/h3>\n

Identifying and Macroscounting aquatic macroinvertebrates reveals the ecological integrity of that specific portion of a stream and reflects the synergistic effects of the environmental conditions. Certain species are more sensitive to pollution than others, so the presence or absence of a population provides insight into overall stream quality. A D-frame net is used to sample a variety of habitats, including woody debris, leaf packs, vegetative margins, and the stream bed. The species collected at Hunnicutt Creek indicate that the majority of individuals are somewhat sensitive to pollution while most of the macroinvertebrates at an off-campus reference site are sensitive. Further restoration of Hunnicutt Creek may change the species composition of Hunnicutt Creek. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Amphibians<\/h3>\n

Amphibian monitoring was established in the restored section of Hunnicutt Creek to discover species Tree frogrichness. A comparative reference site, located in the North Forest, serves as a model for restoration trajectory. Coverboards and PVC pipes were installed throughout the stream restoration. The coverboards are 1\u2019X1\u2019X1\u201d boards that are placed on the ground intended to attract salamanders, snakes, and other animals avoiding the sun. The PVC pipes are designed to allow treefrogs to enter and feel safe from predators protecting them from almost every side. Both are placed next to the stream to ensure higher habitation. Multiple stations are set up along the stream with two PVC pipes and two coverboards at each station. Since the PVC pipes are only used by a few species of treefrogs, the team listens for frog calls in the evenings to more thoroughly detect all of the different frog species present.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Propagation of Native Plant Species<\/h3>\n

Propagation is the process of creating or growing more plants from a parent stock. This can include growing from seed or using cuttings. Due to the absence of native understory plants because of the heavy presence of invasive species, students collected cuttings and seeds from forested areas on the North and South Clemson Forest. Native plant species included Paw Paw (Asimina), Sweet Shrub (Calycanthus), certain fern species, Spice Bush (Lindera), and many others. The student research team used both techniques and utilized the Clemson greenhouses to stimulate the root and plant growth of these various species. The students\u2019 hope was to grow these plants out and replant them into the Hunnicutt Creek riparia. The students found that some species propagate easier than others and their further research will be to study which plant species propagate the best.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

It is the primary pathway of water that drains from roadways and parking areas located around campus.The Hunnicutt research team, which is primarily composed of Clemson University undergraduate students, is actively trying to maintain a healthy system by restoring the riparian zone. A riparian zone is the surrounding area of a stream bank that acts as a buffer from chemicals and other harmful elements that could degrade the quality of a stream. One way the students are restoring the riparian zone is by removing invasive species of plants (see the Invasive Species webpage). While the riparian zone is being restored, they are monitoring the quality of the stream in multiple ways. Once a month, the Hunnicutt research team collects information from multiple significant locations along the stream and enter the data into the SCAAS website or other database. They are also working with instrumentation that collects data such as velocity, depth, and other physical measurements. Annually, they go out into the field and survey cross-sections and longitudinal profiles of the creek to see how the channel geometry has changed over time. They hope that this will help them better understand how Hunnicutt Creek is reacting to restoration efforts as well as major rain events and human influences.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"qt-module\">\n<div class=\"cu-qt-col qt-left flex-container\">\n<div class=\"brk-quote-block\">\n<blockquote class=\"quote-content img-right cu-bc-pur600\">\n<div class=\"cu-img-circle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photo by Kelly Sikkema\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1599009434802-ca1dd09895e7?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=crop&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wzNzg0fDB8MXxzZWFyY2h8MXx8cGxhY2Vob2xkZXJ8ZW58MHwwfHx8MTY4NTYwNzM0M3ww&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=1080&h=768\" width=\"1080\" height=\"768\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"quote cu-text-pur600\">\u201c<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m super passionate about diversity.

The program\u2019s five goals are summarized by ADOPT: increase public Awareness , collect quality baseline water quality Data , gather Observations , encourage Partnerships between citizens and their local government, and provide citizens with the Tools and Training to evaluate and protect their local waterways. SCAAS emphasizes research regarding chemical qualities (pH, temperature, conductivity, dissolved oxygen), bacteria (E.coli), macroinvertebrates, and amphibians. We have implemented these SCAAS protocols into our adaptive management plan and are monitoring the Hunnicutt Creek for both chemical and biological factors. These factors will be monitored monthly with the results uploaded to the SCAAS website to form a documented data set. The data collected from these surveys will help determine overall water quality and stream health for not only the restoration site but for the Hunnicutt Creek watershed as a whole.

Restoration efforts on the creek are expected to change the composition of these macroinvertebrate species. Additionally, amphibian monitoring and the propagation of native plant species contribute to the overall restoration trajectory of Hunnicutt Creek.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Icon Cards --><\/p>\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x grid-margin-y text-left align-center\">\n<div class=\"cell medium-4 large-4 xlarge-4 cu-color-card cu-bg-cg200\" style=\"max-width:450px\">\n<div class=\"cc-main\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1599009434802-ca1dd09895e7\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"cu-text-cg600\">Macroinvertebrates<\/h3>\n<p class=\"cu-fine-print cu-text-cg600\">Identifying and Macroscounting aquatic macroinvertebrates reveals the ecological integrity of that specific portion of a stream and reflects the synergistic effects of the environmental conditions. Certain species are more sensitive to pollution than others, so the presence or absence of a population provides insight into overall stream quality. A D-frame net is used to sample a variety of habitats, including woody debris, leaf packs, vegetative margins, and the stream bed. The species collected at Hunnicutt Creek indicate that the majority of individuals are somewhat sensitive to pollution while most of the macroinvertebrates at an off-campus reference site are sensitive. Further restoration of Hunnicutt Creek may change the species composition of Hunnicutt Creek. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"link-area cu-bg-or400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clemson.edu\/cafls\/research\/research.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See what the Experiment Station has to offer >><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cell medium-4 large-4 xlarge-4 cu-color-card cu-bg-cg200\" style=\"max-width:450px\">\n<div class=\"cc-main\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1599009434802-ca1dd09895e7\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"cu-text-cg600\">Amphibians<\/h3>\n<p class=\"cu-fine-print cu-text-cg600\">Amphibian monitoring was established in the restored section of Hunnicutt Creek to discover species Tree frogrichness. A comparative reference site, located in the North Forest, serves as a model for restoration trajectory. Coverboards and PVC pipes were installed throughout the stream restoration. The coverboards are 1\u2019X1\u2019X1\u201d boards that are placed on the ground intended to attract salamanders, snakes, and other animals avoiding the sun. The PVC pipes are designed to allow treefrogs to enter and feel safe from predators protecting them from almost every side. Both are placed next to the stream to ensure higher habitation. Multiple stations are set up along the stream with two PVC pipes and two coverboards at each station. Since the PVC pipes are only used by a few species of treefrogs, the team listens for frog calls in the evenings to more thoroughly detect all of the different frog species present.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"link-area cu-bg-or400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clemson.edu\/cafls\/research\/centers-institutes.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Discover our Centers & Institutes >><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cell medium-4 large-4 xlarge-4 cu-color-card cu-bg-cg200\" style=\"max-width:450px\">\n<div class=\"cc-main\">\n<div class=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1599009434802-ca1dd09895e7\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" width=\"100%\"><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"cu-text-cg600\">Propagation of Native Plant Species<\/h3>\n<p class=\"cu-fine-print cu-text-cg600\">Propagation is the process of creating or growing more plants from a parent stock. This can include growing from seed or using cuttings. Due to the absence of native understory plants because of the heavy presence of invasive species, students collected cuttings and seeds from forested areas on the North and South Clemson Forest. Native plant species included Paw Paw (Asimina), Sweet Shrub (Calycanthus), certain fern species, Spice Bush (Lindera), and many others. The student research team used both techniques and utilized the Clemson greenhouses to stimulate the root and plant growth of these various species. The students\u2019 hope was to grow these plants out and replant them into the Hunnicutt Creek riparia. The students found that some species propagate easier than others and their further research will be to study which plant species propagate the best.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"link-area cu-bg-or400\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clemson.edu\/public\/experimental-forest\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Explore the Forest >><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<section class=\"cu-content cu-bg-pur400\">\n<div class=\"cu-module\">\n<div class=\"grid-container\">\n<div class=\"grid-x title-wrap text-left align-left\">\n<div class=\"cell large-7\">\n<h2>We’re here for you…<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"grid-x grid-margin-x grid-margin-y medium-up-3 xlarge-up-4 cu-stretch-container align-left\">\n<div class=\"cell\">\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div class=\"title-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Katie Black\" src=\"images\/black-katie.png\"><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"cu-card-accent-title cu-text-wg100 cu-bg-pur600-80\">Blanche Rivera-Gonzalez<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"card-section\">\n<div class=\"cu-wc\">\n<p> Blanche Rivera-Gonzalez is a senior Environmental Engineering student from Tampa, Florida.

Since the completion of the construction of Lake Hartwell in 1959, this low-lying area on the western edge of the Clemson University campus is the location of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) pump station, which sends Hunnicutt Creek\u2019s entire flow through the dike and into the lake. The USACE\u2019s control over the bottom of Hunnicutt Creek makes the watershed an unusual system.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"cell large-6 \">\n<div class=\"cu-wc\">\n<div class=\"medium-8 columns\">\n<ul class=\"accordion\" id=\"recDropdowns\">\n<li class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"accordion-title\" href=\"#\" id=\"0r6ek6-accordion-label\">Watershed Boundaries<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-content\" role=\"region\" id=\"0r6ek6-accordion\">\n<p>The Baruch Institute of Coastal Ecology and Forest Science is located on the Hobcaw Barony, a 16,000 acre tract of undeveloped land along the Waccamaw Neck. The facilities at Baruch provides Clemson with unique research opportunities in a coastal environment with high salinity estuary marshes, brackish water, and freshwater swamps. Topics of research deal with issues such as environmental impacts for changing land use patterns, coastal resource conservation, maintaining water quality, and forest and watershed management. The researchers provide information about these studies to the public and policy makers to aid in making decisions about land use and urban growth.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/location-history\">Learn More<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"accordion-title\" href=\"#\" id=\"e9s715-accordion-label\">Topography and Area Map <\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-content\" role=\"region\" id=\"e9s715-accordion\">\n<p>The Coastal Research and Education Center (REC) conducts applied research, education and public service programs on vegetable and specialty crops. The center includes 325 acres in addition to laboratories in the Department of Agriculture U.S. Vegetable Laboratory building. The REC conducts research to increase production and handling technology for the vegetable industry and dissemination of information through extension activities. In cooperation with the Clemson University Extension Service, local problem solving and grower educational programs receive major emphasis. With the population increasing in the U.S. and especially in the ‘Sunbelt”, the REC is supporting the SC vegetable industry to capture a greater share of the market by utilizing innovating production , postharvest methodology and effective pest management systems that include biological control and pest-resistant plants.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/location-history\">Learn More<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"accordion-title\" href=\"#\" id=\"1arpd0-accordion-label\">Walker Golf Course<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"accordion-content\" role=\"region\" id=\"1arpd0-accordion\">\n<p>The green watershed area encompasses the SCBG on the east, moves into the Walker Golf Course and terminates in the Clemson Bottoms.
