The river is also home to ancient bald cypress trees, some estimated to be over 1,000 years old.

Williamsburg County Water Table and Septic Considerations
Williamsburg County has a generally shallow seasonal high water table, typically 1.5 to 3 feet below the surface on its flat Coastal Plain terrain, with the poorly drained areas along the Black River and its tributaries seeing saturation within 6 to 12 inches of the surface during wet months. This shallow water table is the primary challenge for septic systems in the county, as it reduces the available soil depth for wastewater filtration and treatment. Many properties in Williamsburg County require mound systems or low-pressure pipe systems to achieve the separation distance needed between the drain field and the seasonal high water table.

Williamsburg County by the Numbers
Williamsburg County has a population of approximately 30,000 residents and roughly 14,700 housing units across 934 square miles — making it one of the largest counties in the state by area. Given its vast rural character, an estimated 55-65% of homes rely on septic systems, with municipal sewer concentrated in the Kingstree and Hemingway areas. Rural lots are typically spacious, often ranging from two to ten acres or more.

SCDES Septic Permit Requirements for Williamsburg County
Williamsburg County septic installations require an SCDES permit under Regulation 61-56. The county's flat Coastal Plain landscape features diverse soil types — from fine loams to sandy and clay soils — with many areas exhibiting poor natural drainage. Standard setbacks apply: 75 feet from private wells, 100 feet from public wells, 75 feet from the Black River, Santee River, and other surface waters, 25 feet from drainage ditches, and 5 feet from property lines. The $150 site evaluation fee is due with the permit application, and alternative systems may be required where soil drainage is insufficient.
