Detailed Summary
The representative geologic profile for the Battle Creek region shows a surficial sequence of unconsolidated glacial deposits composed of varying sand, gravel, and clay, typically extending down to 60-70 ft depth. Below this, wells consistently encounter competent Marshall Sandstone, often water-bearing, extending for several tens of feet, sometimes interbedded with or underlain by thin shale or consolidated formations. Most private residential wells are completed at 80-120 ft to obtain 10-20 GPM. Municipal and irrigation wells may be much deeper, exceeding 140 ft. Static water levels are commonly 18-32 ft below grade.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 35 ft | Unconsolidated Glacial Deposits | Tan/Brown Sand, Gravel, and Clay—moderately compacted, mixed texture. | Color: Brown/Tan/Gray Hardness: Soft to Medium |
| 35 – 70 ft | Clay & Gravel / Fine Sand | Brown/gray clay, occasional gravel beds, locally zones of fine sand. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Medium |
| 70 – 110 ft | Marshall Sandstone (sometimes with thin shale or broken zones) | Gray to light gray massive sandstone, locally indurated, water-bearing, minor shale or consolidated seams possible. | Color: Gray/Light Gray Hardness: Hard |
| 110 – 150 ft | Marshall Sandstone (deeper section) | Light gray or blue-gray sandstone, transitional to zones with shale; may be increasingly indurated with depth. | Color: Light Gray/Blue-Gray Hardness: Hard |
