Allendale's typical subsurface sequence is sand (often with clay/gravel), then thick clay with occasional sand/gravel layers, and finally sandstone/bedrock. Most residential wells draw from sand or fractured sandstone aquifers at 40–80 ft or at 150–180+ ft depths, yielding 5–18+ GPM.

A geological estimate for the Allendale area.
Typical Well Depth
Static Water Level
Recommended Method
A representative geological profile for Allendale and nearby Ottawa County areas, based on sampled well logs, generally begins with a surficial sand or sand-with-clay/gravel unit (10–30 ft), followed by a substantial clay or clay with layers of sand or gravel (80–130 ft total). Some wells encounter interbedded sand or sand/gravel below this (down to 150–175 ft). The reliable high-yield aquifer is most often a sandstone or sand/bedrock layer beginning near 150–180 ft and extending as deep as the wells were drilled, sometimes >200 ft. Most residential wells tap shallower sand aquifers (~40–80 ft), but notable numbers are completed in deeper sandstone for either higher flow or in areas where shallow sand yields are insufficient.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 2 ft | Topsoil or surficial sand | Sandy loam or loose brown sand; occasional thin clay cap | Color: Brown Hardness: Soft |
2 – 15 ft | Sand (with possible clay or gravel) | Medium to coarse sand, sometimes intermixed with clay or gravel lenses | Color: Yellow to gray Hardness: Soft to medium |
15 – 135 ft | Clay (with sand/clay/gravel interbeds) | Predominantly gray or brown clay, with occasional sand, silt, or gravel seams; minor hardpan sections; area variability but clay dominates | Color: Gray, brown Hardness: Hard to very hard in places |
135 – 155 ft | Sand/gravel with clay interbeds | Sandy gravel and clay, increasingly coarse towards base | Color: Gray/yellow Hardness: Medium |
155 – 180 ft | Hardpan, dense clay or sandy claystone | Dense, compact hardpan and/or sand-cemented layers, locally containing iron or sandstone nodules | Color: Gray Hardness: Very hard |
180 – 220 ft | Sandstone / bedrock aquifer | Soft to moderately hard, gray sandstone or limestone; yields high flows where fractured, widely used for bedrock wells | Color: Gray Hardness: Hard |
