About Darlington County

Darlington County in the Pee Dee region has a mix of sandy loam and clay soils with variable drainage characteristics that affect septic system design across the county. Higher-ground areas with sandy soils support conventional drain fields, while clay-heavy bottomlands near the Lynches River and Black Creek may require alternative SCDES-approved treatment systems. Wells draw from shallow to moderate-depth Coastal Plain aquifers, and the agricultural setting means water quality testing for nitrates and pesticide residues is advisable.
