Did You Know? — Marion County

Marion County is uniquely bounded by two iconic waterways — the Great Pee Dee River on the west and the Little Pee Dee River on the east. Both have been designated South Carolina Scenic Rivers. The Great Pee Dee is especially famous as one of the premier catfish destinations in the nation, with flathead catfish making up more than half the catfish population in its tangled, stumpy depths.

About Marion County — What Affects Your Septic System

SCDES Regulations

SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Marion County

All septic system installations in Marion County require an SCDES permit under Regulation 61-56. The $150 site evaluation fee covers a soil and site assessment to determine system type and sizing. Minimum setbacks are 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from streams, rivers, and ponds, 25 feet from drainage ditches, and 5 feet from property lines and buildings. Conventional trench systems are permitted where soil conditions allow; otherwise, alternative designs such as mound systems or alternative trench width/depth systems may be specified.

Common Issues

River Bottomland and Clay Soils in Marion County

Marion County lies along the Great Pee Dee and Little Pee Dee Rivers, where low-lying bottomlands feature poorly drained, clay-heavy soils. These soils have very slow percolation rates, which means conventional drain fields can become saturated and fail, especially after periods of rain. Properties on higher ground may have better-draining sandy loam, but many parcels near the river floodplain require engineered alternative systems to function properly.

Local Spotlight

Marion: Named for the Revolutionary War's "Swamp Fox"

The city of Marion and its county are named after General Francis Marion, the legendary "Swamp Fox" of the American Revolution who used the surrounding swamps and forests to launch guerrilla attacks against the British. The town serves as the county seat and features a charming historic downtown centered around a classic Southern courthouse square. Marion's history stretches back to the 1790s, and the area is rich with Revolutionary War heritage sites.

Local Septic Tip

Septic Tips for Marion Homeowners

Marion's mix of sandy topsoil over clay subsoil means your drain field's performance can change with the seasons — have your system checked if you notice slow drains during wet months. Spread out your water usage throughout the day instead of running multiple loads of laundry back-to-back, which can overwhelm a septic system in slower-draining soils. A well-maintained septic system protects both your property and the local waterways that feed into the Pee Dee River.
