Detailed Summary
Analysis of well logs for the Kaleva region indicates a representative geological profile characterized by an upper sequence of sands (often fine, sometimes grading to coarse or containing gravel), interbedded with clay and clayey sand. The most frequent lower aquifers are found as thick sand or sand/gravel beds, typically encountered between 50 and 130 feet deep, occasionally deeper. Shallower wells (20–50 ft) can suffice where thick sand predominates at shallow depths, but most residential wells are completed between 60 and 130 ft to ensure sufficient yield and protection from surface contamination. Outliers with extreme depths or unusually thick clay were discarded from the average profile.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 3 ft | Topsoil/Sand | Organic-rich topsoil and surficial loose sand; may include minor silt. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Soft |
| 3 – 15 ft | Sand (Fine–Medium) | Clean, fine to medium sand; can include minor stones or gravel. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Loose to soft |
| 15 – 25 ft | Clayey Sand/Clay | Interbedded fine sand and clay; more cohesive with depth, may have lenses of sand. | Color: Gray/brown Hardness: Moderate |
| 25 – 50 ft | Sand (Fine–Coarse) with Gravel | Water-bearing sand; locally grades into coarser sand/gravel layers, often the first productive aquifer. | Color: Tan/yellow/reddish Hardness: Medium |
| 50 – 80 ft | Clay/Clayey Sand | Mostly clayey with interbeds of fine/medium sand or silt; reduced permeability. | Color: Brown/gray/red Hardness: Firm |
| 80 – 130 ft | Sand/Gravel (Main Aquifer) | Thickest and most reliable water-bearing zone; primarily medium to coarse sand with frequent gravel, often tapped for residential and high-capacity use. | Color: Light brown/tan Hardness: Soft to medium |
| 130 – 150 ft | Clay/Clayey Sand | Lower clay bed, sometimes interbedded with thin sand streaks; forms base of common residential wells. | Color: Gray/tan Hardness: Firm |
