SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Kershaw County
Kershaw County septic permits are issued by SCDES under Regulation 61-56. Significant portions of the county fall within the Carolina Sandhills, where excessively drained sandy soils (including the Kershaw soil series) are prevalent. A backhoe pit is typically required for site evaluations above the fall line. Standard setbacks include 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from water bodies, and 5 feet from property lines. The $150 site evaluation fee applies, and alternative or advanced treatment systems may be mandated for properties with rapid-draining sands.

Septic Tips for Camden Homeowners
Many of Camden's historic and older homes were built with septic systems that may not meet current standards, so if your home is more than 30 years old, it's worth having a professional evaluation. Camden homeowners near the Wateree River should be especially vigilant about septic maintenance to protect the waterway. Schedule your pumping during the drier months when the ground is firmer and service trucks can access your tank more easily.

Kershaw County Rivers, Watersheds, and Flood Zones
The Wateree River, formed by the confluence of the Catawba River and several tributaries, flows south through Kershaw County past Camden and is impounded to form Lake Wateree in the county's northern section. The Lynches River also touches the county's eastern edge, and numerous smaller creeks including Twenty-Five Mile Creek drain the interior. The Wateree River floodplain is a major FEMA-designated flood zone with deep alluvial soils that are unsuitable for conventional septic systems, and the lake itself creates elevated groundwater conditions in surrounding areas that can affect drain field performance.

What People Are Saying
“We were tired of dealing with a discount pumper who just wasn't getting the job done! Our septic system was backing up every 3 to 6 months. Finally, we called Septic Workz. They used the Crust Buster to get all the solids out and then added commercial chemicals to help balance our tank. Three years later, we still haven't experienced any backups!”
