The South Carolina Geological Survey (SCGS) was awarded a $391,352 Cooperative Agreement by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (CFDA 15.810) for the period of September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024. The award supports five geologic mapping and database development projects, including:

  1. Mapping two 7.5-minute quadrangles along I-73 and the Piedmont region of South Carolina.
  2. Mapping four 7.5-minute quadrangles along the I-95 corridor and portions of two additional quadrangles.
  3. Mapping two 7.5-minute quadrangles in the Piedmont region.
  4. Compiling two partial 100K quadrangle map databases along the South Carolina coast.
  5. Converting 18 existing 1:24,000-scale quadrangle maps to GEMS Level-3 digital map databases.

These projects will enhance understanding of South Carolina's geology to support economic development, infrastructure planning, and natural resource management priorities. The award represents approximately 81% of SCGS's original proposal, with the funding amount and project scope reduced accordingly across the five awarded activities.
