Detailed Summary

Well logs across the Free Soil area consistently reveal surficial deposits of clay, red clay, or clayey hardpan, usually 10-52 ft thick. Beneath the clay, the predominant sequence is coarse or medium sand—often in multiple horizons—sometimes interbedded with gravel, gray clay, or sandy/gravelly mixtures. Water-bearing sand zones are well-developed and generally begin below 40-60 ft, continuing to terminal depths of 75–110 ft. Static water levels tend to be shallow (10-35 ft) with residential wells producing 5–22+ GPM at completion depths of 60–100 ft. Typical well completions include PVC or steel casing to 50–90 ft, screens set in the basal sand units, and bentonite slurry grout.
