Detailed Summary

Reviewing multiple well logs from the Higgins Lake region reveals a consistent pattern of unconsolidated glacial deposits: a surface layer of sand or sand with stones, underlain by intermediate lenses of clay, silty sand, or clay-gravel, and capped by a prominent coarse sand and/or gravel aquifer. The principal aquifer is typically encountered at depths of 40 to nearly 90 feet, yielding high quantities of water (often exceeding 10 GPM in residential installations). Most residential wells terminate in these productive sand/gravel mixes. Outlier depths or thick clays are rare. Static water levels are typically between 8–47 feet below grade, and rotary mud circulation is the dominant drilling method. Standard grouting is done with bentonite or cement up to casing depth.
