Synthesizing six representative well logs for the Charlotte, MI region reveals a typical succession: an upper clay (sometimes with sand or gravel) 20–40 ft thick, underlain by a complex zone of interbedded clay, sand, and substantial gravel deposits (occasionally with stones) extending to about 90–110 ft. Below this, there is typically a sandstone or shale bedrock (sometimes mixing with gravel or sand), often extending to at least 120–140 ft. Sand and gravel zones (occasionally water-bearing) are most likely the best aquifers. A typical residential well is screened or completed below these thick clays, frequently drawing from sand/gravel or shallow sandstone from 90–130 ft. Static water levels average in the mid-20s ft below grade. Wells are rotary-drilled, cased (PVC or steel) to about 70–120 ft, and grouted with bentonite slurry.
