Marlboro County Water Table and Septic Considerations
The well-drained uplands of Marlboro County generally have a seasonal high water table between 4 and 6 feet below the surface, providing excellent conditions for conventional septic systems. Along the Great Pee Dee River bottomlands and near Crooked Creek and other tributaries, the water table can rise to within 12 to 24 inches of the surface during the wet winter and spring months. Properties in these transitional and low-lying areas should be evaluated by a professional soil classifier, as the seasonal saturation may require a mound system or other alternative septic design.

Clio Soil & Septic Conditions
Clio sits in an area where Sandhills soils meet the upper coastal plain, resulting in predominantly sandy loam soils with pockets of heavier clay, especially along creek bottoms and low-lying areas. The upland areas around town generally have good septic suitability, while lower spots near streams may have seasonal wetness that complicates drain field performance. The soil type can change significantly over short distances, making site evaluation essential.

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.

Variable Soil Conditions Across Marlboro County
Marlboro County's geology spans from deep sandy Sandhills soils in the western portions to moderately permeable clayey marine sediments (the Marlboro soil series) on upland areas. Sandy Sandhills soils drain too quickly, allowing effluent to pass through without adequate treatment before reaching groundwater. Conversely, the clayey upland soils can be slow to absorb, leading to drain field ponding. A Professional Soil Classifier is especially important here to match the system design to highly variable site conditions.
