Detailed Summary
Synthesizing data from representative well logs in the Chase region, the typical geological sequence encountered comprises an upper sand layer (20-35 ft), followed by significant clay or mixed clay-sand (20-50+ ft), and capped by water-bearing sand or sand/gravel layers at depth. Occasional variations exist (notably thicker clay in some local wells or coarser basal material), but this sequence is regionally consistent. The majority of residential wells (5–15+ GPM) are constructed to 70–80 ft depths, which reliably intercept the water-bearing sand at the base of these profiles. High-capacity wells may be drilled deeper (120–150 ft) to target thicker and sometimes multiple sand units. Static water level is most often about 25–40 ft below surface, with rotary methods and PVC casing the prevailing construction approach; cement or bentonite grout is standard to the base of casing (~60–70 ft).
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 30 ft | Sand (occasionally minor silt) | Fine to medium brown sand, clean, unconsolidated, locally minor silt. | Color: Brown/tan Hardness: Loose |
| 30 – 60 ft | Clay (locally mixed with sand) | Gray or blue clay, sometimes mixed with layers of fine sand, plastic, low permeability. | Color: Gray/blue Hardness: Firm–plastic |
| 60 – 75 ft | Sand (water-bearing, may include minor gravel) | Medium to coarse sand, locally with fine gravel, saturated, primary aquifer zone. | Color: Tan/yellow Hardness: Loose |
| 75 – 135 ft | Interbedded Sand and Clay | Alternating layers of sand (water-bearing) and clay, typical below main residential aquifer, more variable, only present in deeper/high-capacity wells. | Color: Mixed tan (sand)/gray (clay) Hardness: Varies |
