Detailed Summary
Across the Beaverton region, rotary drilling commonly reveals an upper sand or sandy loam (usually 3–25 ft thick), followed by a substantial clay to clay/gravel sequence (variously grey, brown, or with cobbles, typically 30–80+ ft thick). Below this, water-bearing sand or sand and gravel—sometimes with some gravel or cobble content—form the most productive aquifer. Some areas show interbedded thin sand or clay/gravel zones within the clay, and deeper wells may terminate in less common clay, gravel, or (rarely) limestone. The static water table is typically at 1–35 ft below grade, sometimes artesian/flowing. Modern residential wells targeting 5–15+ GPM commonly complete in the main sand or sand/gravel aquifer at 75–120 ft, with deeper completions up to ~150 ft for higher yielding wells.
