Operators based within 12 miles of Five Forks

Listed by where the business is, not by who it says it serves. Every operator here was on the SCDES Onsite Wastewater Contractors list on the date its record shows, and the address it is placed by comes from that same list, so this is a checkable claim rather than a service-area promise. A South Carolina licence is issued by the state, not by a county, so operators further out can work here too; these are simply the ones closest to you.

What the limitation actually is

A rating on its own tells you nothing you can act on. The reasons do, and around Five Forks the leading one is slope on 22.7% of the mapped area, followed by depth to saturated zone on 14.8%. In full:

Shares overlap: most soils here are limited for more than one reason at once, so these do not sum to 99%.

The soils themselves

The named soils and land types that make up most of the ground around Five Forks. Cecil alone accounts for 59.1% of it.

“None in profile” means SSURGO records no bedrock or other restrictive layer within the depth it describes, not that none exists.

Area of interest: a 4-mile radius around the USGS Geographic Names centre point for Five Forks (GNIS 2402484, 34.8099, -82.2229), chosen because five of this state's communities are unincorporated and have no boundary to use, and because the lots that need a septic permit are in the ring around a town rather than inside it. Soil from USDA-NRCS Soil Data Access, SSURGO interpretation “ENG - Septic Tank Absorption Fields”, area-weighted by mapped acreage and by each component's share of its map unit. Survey areas: Greenville County, South Carolina (2025-08-29), Spartanburg County, South Carolina (2025-08-29). Retrieved 2026-09-18.

This is a survey, not an evaluation of your lot. The permit decision rests on the site evaluation SCDES carries out for the specific parcel.
