Soil and ground
Soils change fast here. Mapped soils in the area are Brevard at 2 of 5 sampled points, with Cecil, Hiwassee and Pacolet at one each. NRCS rates 3 of 5 points very limited for absorption fields, citing slow water movement, slope and seepage. Talley Creek runs about 0.1 mile away and FEMA maps a flood zone within 0.3 mile. That is generalized soil survey data, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and each needs its own site evaluation.
Soil data: USDA NRCS Web Soil Survey. Housing data: US Census Bureau ACS.Homes here
The 2020 Census counted 942 housing units. The median home was built around 1985, per 2020-2024 ACS estimates. Mobile homes are about 43 percent of homes, and about 79 percent are owner-occupied. For care, SC DES recommends Slater-Marietta owners schedule an inspection every 1 to 2 years and pumping every 3 to 5, more often for bigger households.
Slater-Marietta questions
Do wet-weather problems matter near Talley Creek?
Talley Creek runs about 0.1 mile from the Slater-Marietta center, and the North Saluda River is about 0.3 mile off. As a general matter, lots in or beside flood zones can have high water tables. Whether a given lot does is a site question we check on the visit.
Why are Slater-Marietta's soils mixed on the survey?
The survey samples show four different soil series across five points: Brevard, Cecil, Hiwassee and Pacolet. NRCS rates some of those very limited and some somewhat limited for absorption fields. That spread is why we look at one yard at a time instead of treating the whole area the same.
