I would prefer to elaborate on Selma itself. It is an unbelievable beautiful ghost town that is 80% black, the downtown part is 99% black. Gigantic ghost infested mansions with marble pillars can be purchased for $10K or less. It is rather like Garcia Marquez' magical village of Macondo where time is irrelevant and only memories are real. When cotton was king it must have been an unbelievably wealthy place but now it slumbers. In a message dated 5/1/2017 5:27:23 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, gschin...@edwardsaquifer.org writes:
I believe the Selma Chalk is in that area. Some folks think that Chalk is impervious because they run tests on small plugs of material or maybe monitoring wells. However, some chalks are quite good karstic aquifers and produce a great deal of water. One of the major sources of water for London is the Great Chalk which I think also forms the great cliffs of Dover. I’ve thought there is potential for small caves in this unit for a number of years. I believe this unit also has a nationally known hazardous waste landfill that accepted waste from places throughout the southeast. Maybe Mr. Weazel can elaborate a little more on this subject. Geary
