Detailed Summary
Most residential wells in the Ida region of Monroe County, based on the sampled logs, encounter an upper sequence of alternating sand, clay, and gravel layers from ground surface to about 20–30 feet. This is followed by limestone bedrock, which is the primary aquifer. Sandstone lenses may be locally encountered beneath the glacial overburden but are rare in most logs. The limestone forms an extensive, reliable water source, commonly accessed between 80 and 100 feet below grade. Casing is typically set through the unconsolidated materials (generally 25–32 ft), with neat cement or similar grout to this depth, and the well is finished as an open-hole bedrock well below casing. Static water levels are typically between 15–20 ft below grade. Yields of 10–15+ GPM are routine at these depths for residential use.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 3 ft | Sand | Fine to medium, loose sand, uppermost unconsolidated layer | Color: Yellow/Gray Hardness: Soft |
| 3 – 20 ft | Clay (with minor sand/gravel) | Interbedded clay and sand with occasional gravel, typical glacial till | Color: Variegated (yellow, blue, brown) Hardness: Very stiff |
| 20 – 30 ft | Clay/Gravel | Clay with some gravel, may locally include thin hardpan or sandy lenses | Color: Blue/Gray Hardness: Very stiff |
| 30 – 90 ft | Limestone | Massive, competent, occasionally gray or broken, with minor shale or sandstone beds possible | Color: Gray/Light Gray Hardness: Hard |
