Church Creek Drainage Basin Project

The Church Creek drainage basin drains a total of area of nearly 5,000 acres located along the western side of the Ashley River. Historically the area was composed mainly of old phosphate mines and marsh areas and today is approximately 80% developed with mainly residential and some commercial development. The present city limits consist of the residential neighborhoods of Shadowmoss, Hickory Hill, Hickory Farms, Grand Oaks, Village Green, Forest Lakes, and Canterbury Woods. The Church Creek drainage facilities consist of a natural drainage channel and marsh area located between the outlet under U.S. Highway 61 and the Seaboard Systems Railroad.
