National Park staff analyzed all 5,356
acres added to the park since 1988 (the
Addition Lands) for wilderness
eligibility. Determinations of eligibility
were made by applying the wilderness
criteria in the Wilderness Act of 1964,
as well as the primary eligibility criteria
in NPS Management Policies 2006
Section 6.2.1.1 and the additional
considerations for determining
eligibility found at Section 6.2.1.2. This
analysis was completed using the best
available data on existing conditions
within the Addition Lands. The team
that assessed existing conditions was
made up of park and regional staff
having extensive knowledge of the area.
Of the 5,356 acres assessed, 3,937 acres
were found to meet the eligibility
criteria.
The area found eligible for wilderness
designation consists of approximately
1,211 acres in the park lying between
the Norfolk Southern rail line on the
west and the U.S. Highway 601 right-ofway on the east. An additional 2,715
acres of eligible land extends farther
eastward from the U.S. Highway 601
right-of-way to the park boundary on the
Wateree River. One small, isolated tract
of 10.89 acres (per deed) fronts on the
Congaree River west of the Norfolk
Southern rail line. The latter tract is
bordered on three sides by designated
wilderness.
Public notice announcing the park’s
intention to conduct the eligibility
assessment was made by placing a
Notice in the Federal Register on
January 19, 2016 (81 FR 2902) and, more
recently, via the park’s website, social
media, and direct contact with
interested Tribes, groups, and
individual citizens.
