About Horry County — What Affects Your Septic System

SCDES Regulations

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.

Water Table

Horry County Water Table and Septic Considerations

Horry County has some of the shallowest seasonal high water tables in the Pee Dee region, with many areas seeing saturation within 6 to 18 inches of the surface during the wet season. The county's flat topography and proximity to the coast mean that water has limited ability to drain, and tidal influences can push groundwater even higher in eastern areas near the Intracoastal Waterway. Mound systems and low-pressure pipe systems are commonly required across much of Horry County, and homeowners should plan for higher installation costs compared to counties with deeper water tables.

Local Geography

Horry County Rivers, Watersheds, and Flood Zones

Horry County is shaped by three major waterways: the Waccamaw River, the Pee Dee River along its western border, and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway running parallel to the coast. Hurricane Florence in 2018 pushed the Waccamaw to a record crest over 21 feet at Conway, and the 35,000-acre Waccamaw National Wildlife Refuge stored an estimated 98 billion gallons of floodwater during that event. Large portions of the county are designated FEMA flood zones, and properties anywhere near these waterways require careful site evaluation before septic system permitting.
