Recommended Method
Based on sampled well logs from Corunna and surrounding areas, the generalized subsurface profile consists of an upper clay layer (usually brown or yellow), often with an intermediate sand/gravel zone, which is a common water-bearing layer. This is followed by a substantial gray clay or till, sometimes containing boulders, and, at greater depths, alternating or interbedded shale and sandstone bedrock. Most residential wells target the sand/gravel (where present) or the upper bedrock (shale/sandstone) for water production. Typical residential wells achieve 5-15+ GPM at depths between 80 and 130 ft. Higher capacity wells or those seeking strong bedrock yields may be drilled to 150–200 ft.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 25 ft | Clay | Predominantly brown/yellow clay, may include some surface soil; upper confining layer. | Color: Brown or Yellow Hardness: Soft |
25 – 35 ft | Sand and/or Gravel | Water-bearing zone; often used for screened wells when present. | Color: Gray Hardness: Medium |
35 – 115 ft | Clay (with possible boulders/till) | Thick, gray clay or till, very limited water yield; acts as confining bed. | Color: Gray Hardness: Hard |
115 – 127 ft | Gravel/Boulders | Occasional deeper gravel with boulders, sometimes used as an aquifer where present. | Color: Gray Hardness: Medium |
127 – 200 ft | Shale and Sandstone (interbedded) | Bedrock sequence with alternating layers, generally hard; serves as main deep aquifer. | Color: Gray to Black (Shale), Tan (Sandstone) Hardness: Hard to Very Hard |
