I have reviewed the websoilsurvey site at nrcs.usda.gov and half of our site boundary includes prime farmland. The half that is in the prime farmland category is also where we have located the detention/wetland for the project. More importantly, it is an in-town site. Any advice on whether this situation is acceptable to meet the SSc1 requirements?

The requirement is that you can't develop hardscape on prime farmland. It sounds like you're not going to do that, although it depends on your stormwater design. Given what you've said so far, I'd say you meet the requirement.
