Wind Load Zone Colleton County is classified in secondary sources as a Coastal High-Hazard Wind Zone (>130 mph, ASCE 7-16/7-22, Risk Category II) within roughly 1 mile of the mean high-water line, tapering toward inland-SC levels (~115-120 mph) further from the coast/tidal rivers. NOT verified against a primary county map; must be confirmed with a SC-licensed engineer or the county building official, especially given how much Colleton's interior extends from the ACE Basin coastline.
