About Keowee Key

SC DES handles septic permits through its Walhalla office.
Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are mostly water, at three of five points, with Hayesville at the other two. NRCS rates those two very limited, citing slope and slow water movement, and does not rate the water points. Slopes run from 20 to 35 percent, a fine sandy loam over clay loam. Elevation is about 888 feet. The Keowee River is 0.6 mile away. This is generalized survey data; individual lots differ and need a site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
Keowee Key had 1,837 housing units at the 2020 Census. By the 2020-2024 ACS estimates the median home was built about 1990, only about 8 percent predate 1980, and about 99 percent are owner-occupied. Mobile homes are about 1 percent. In an owner-dominated community, upkeep is each owner's call, so a regular pump-out and inspection schedule is easy to keep.
Keowee Key questions
Why is so much of the Keowee Key soil data water?
Three of five sampled points land on water, since the community sits near Lake Keowee. NRCS leaves water unrated and rates the two Hayesville points very limited because of slope and slow water movement. That is generalized survey data. Individual lots differ, so each needs a site evaluation.
