After 13 years of real time data recording in and around the Lake Jocassee and Lake Keowee area, we have had to discontinue the maintenance of that subnet due to funding shortages. Unfortunately, there will no longer be helicorder webpages or event location listings for that region of SC.
The coastal recording facility located at Charleston Southern University was closed December 2005. Efforts are underway to resestablish a recording node elsewhere.
Network stations located in and around Charleston are being deactivated or relocated due to loss of suitable site locations. Many were established on Westvaco tree farms that have now been sold for development. It is unclear how many will survive soaring population growth in Charleston and Berkely counties.
The seismic monitoring network surrounding Monticello Reservoir was closed December 2006 due to the shortage of funds for continued operation. There are no plans at the present time to reopen the network.
