Detailed Summary

Based on representative well data from the Hudson and greater region, subsurface geology typically consists of a surface layer of clay (often yellow, brown, or gray, sometimes mixed with sand or gravel), followed by multiple alternating units of clay (often blue or gray) and sandier layers. The most consistent and productive aquifer zones are found as lenses or beds of sand and gravel beneath extensive glacial clay. Residential wells often terminate in these sand/gravel intervals, generally requiring total depths of 40–120 ft for household supply (5–15+ GPM). Deeper high-capacity wells (such as for irrigation) tend to target thicker or more permeable sand/gravel layers, sometimes to 160–185 ft. Typical static water levels range from 12–56 ft below grade. Most wells use rotary or cable tool drilling, with mud or bentonite grout to seal upper casing in clay.
