Recommended Method
Averaging the provided logs, the representative profile for Adrian begins with a shallow clay or sandy clay (often yellow or brown), underlain by a long sequence of dense to blue/gray clay (sometimes interbedded with minor sand or gravel seams). Below the thick clay, an extensive sand or sand & gravel unit forms the main water-bearing aquifer. Most residential wells encounter their main yield in this basal sand/gravel between 90–125 ft, with static water levels generally 10–45 ft below grade and yields of 10–20+ GPM. Shallower wells (~50–60 ft) are possible but commonly have higher static water and are less consistent in high-yielding sand thickness.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 6 ft | Clay/Sand | Brown clay and sand, sometimes yellow clay, soft to firm, surficial layer | Color: Brown/Yellow Hardness: Soft |
6 – 26 ft | Clay | Brown to gray clay, occasional interbeds of sand/gravel, dense, sometimes blue/gray | Color: Gray/Blue/Brown Hardness: Firm to hard |
26 – 95 ft | Clay | Thick gray or blue clay, dense, virtually no recovery, minor sandy seams possible | Color: Gray/Blue Hardness: Hard |
95 – 117 ft | Sand & Gravel | Clean sand & gravel or coarse sand, primary water-yielding aquifer | Color: Tan/Gray Hardness: Loose to medium |
