Detailed Summary

A representative geological profile for the Lachine area of Alpena County, MI, based on synthesis from multiple well logs, consists of a surficial sequence of unconsolidated glacial deposits (clay, gravel, sand) of variable thickness from surface to 40–60 feet, typically grading into more gravelly or sandy zones. Beneath this zone, wells commonly encounter set intervals of consolidated bedrock, most often alternating between limestone and shale of various colors and hardness, from approximately 44–60 feet down to depths exceeding 200 feet in deeper wells. The most productive residential wells typically terminate in coarse sand/gravel or upper limestone, with high-yield wells achieved at moderate depths. Static water levels are generally shallow (3–40 ft below ground). The most common drilling method is rotary with mud circulation, and casing is typically installed through the unconsolidated zones and at least partially into bedrock for deeper wells.
