SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Horry County
Horry County septic permits are issued by SCDES under Regulation 61-56, with the local office reachable at (843) 915-8801. Due to the county's high water table and coastal location, many sites require alternative system designs such as mound systems (System Standard 420/421) or elevated infiltration systems (System Standard 601). Standard setbacks apply: 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from surface water and tidal critical area lines, and 5 feet from property lines. The $150 site evaluation fee is required with the permit application.

Horry County by the Numbers
Horry County is one of South Carolina's fastest-growing counties with a population exceeding 370,000 residents and over 219,000 housing units across 1,255 square miles. Growth has been explosive — the population increased nearly 4% in a single year. While the Grand Strand beach communities are largely on municipal sewer, inland and rural areas of Horry County still rely heavily on septic systems. Lot sizes vary dramatically from compact oceanfront parcels to expansive inland acreage.

Myrtle Beach Soil Conditions and Your Septic System
Myrtle Beach's coastal location means the soil is almost entirely sand, and the water table is extremely high — often just a few feet below the surface. This combination creates unique challenges for septic systems because the sandy soil drains too quickly for proper treatment, while the high water table limits how deep a drain field can be installed. Many Myrtle Beach properties require advanced septic systems or alternative solutions to meet SCDES requirements.
