SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Marlboro County
Marlboro County requires an SCDES permit for all onsite wastewater system installations under Regulation 61-56. The county straddles the Sandhills and upper Coastal Plain, so soil conditions vary significantly — from deep, excessively drained sands to well-drained clayey Marlboro series soils. Standard setbacks apply: 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 is due at application, and sites above the fall line may require a backhoe pit excavation during evaluation.

Year-Round Septic Awareness in Marlboro County
In Marlboro County's sandy Sandhills areas, summer droughts can cause soil to shrink away from tank and pipe connections, creating gaps that allow root intrusion and surface water infiltration when rains return. In the clayey upland areas, winter and spring rains can keep soils saturated for weeks. Inspect exposed risers and cleanouts in spring for signs of shifting, and keep trees and deep-rooted shrubs at least 30 feet from your drain field to prevent root damage.

Marlboro County by the Numbers
Marlboro County has a population of approximately 26,200 residents and roughly 12,000 housing units across 480 square miles. As one of the more rural counties in the Pee Dee, a significant majority of homes outside Bennettsville use septic systems — likely 50-60% countywide. Rural lot sizes are typically generous, averaging one to three acres, making septic systems a practical and common choice for homeowners.

Marlboro County Rivers, Watersheds, and Flood Zones
Marlboro County is bordered on the west by the Great Pee Dee River and is also drained by the Little Pee Dee River and Crooked Creek. The Great Pee Dee originates as the Yadkin River in North Carolina's Appalachian Mountains and flows 232 miles southeast through cypress swamps and bottomland forests before eventually reaching Winyah Bay. The river's wide floodplain along Marlboro County's western edge is a designated FEMA flood zone with poorly drained soils, and septic installations in these areas require careful evaluation and often elevated or engineered system designs.
