New Research Support Facility
Earlier in the year, the Washington Office approved a proposal to construct a Research Support Facility at the Savannah River Site. The total amount of USDA Forest Service funding allocated by Congress for this project in FY2005 is $1,016,000.

This award will bring to the Savannah River Site significant advantages. Through partnerships with the Forest Service Research Stations, universities and other agencies, Savannah River research has been a cost-effective model for conducting applied studies that have resulted in major cost savings to the Site and efficient approaches to achieving regulatory compliance. This facility would enable the Forest Service to more effectively achieve the missions of both agencies.

In Janurary 2004, David White, with the Southern Research Station in Clemson, SC, released his final report, Deerskins And Cotton, Ecological Impacts of Historical Land Use in the Central Savannah River Area of the Southeastern US before 1950. The report shows how the history of land has altered the environment. A copy of the publication can be attained by emailing kimberlyhale@fs.fed.us.
