Detailed Summary
A representative geologic profile for the Clio region in Genesee County, MI generally shows a surficial cover of mixed sand, gravel, and clay from glacial origin. These alluvial materials alternate in bands and can dominate the upper 90-125 feet, with sand/gravel aquifers often found between thick clay sections. Below, bedrock starts as shale or sandstone (occasionally with limestone or coal) from the Saginaw Formation. Shallow glacial wells (to ~60 ft) are possible but less common; most productive residential wells (~5-15+ GPM) are completed in deeper, more reliable sand or fractured bedrock zones, typically at 120-160 ft, while high-capacity or deep bedrock wells exceed 200 ft.
