Detailed Summary
Synthesizing the Lapeer well log sample, the most prevalent geological sequence is: (1) surficial clay layer (≈20–25 ft), (2) followed by thick intervals of gravel, sand, and/or stony gravel to ~40 ft, (3) alternating clay, sand, or sand/gravel to ~60–100 ft, (4) transition into shale and/or sandstone, sometimes layered with minor limestone, from ~70–100 ft downward—bedrock aquifers being the primary water source to full depths between 150–300 ft. The most reliable aquifers appear to be sandstone or mixed shale/sandstone, with static water levels consistently between 4–30 ft below grade and high pump test yields (12–60 GPM). Residential wells commonly achieve 5–15+ GPM at 125–170 ft. Rotary mud drilling predominates, with PVC casing set to near bedrock and bentonite slurry grouting standard. This composite ignores isolated thicker sand or limestone intervals less frequently documented.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 25 ft | Clay | Brown/Gray, silty clay, compact, may include thin sand or gravel near base | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Soft |
| 25 – 45 ft | Gravel and Sand (local mix) | Clean or stony gravel, sometimes with minor clay or sand layers | Color: Varied (Gray, Brown, Yellow) Hardness: Loose |
| 45 – 75 ft | Clay, Sand & Gravel Interbeds | Interbedded clay, sand, silt, local gravel, occasionally compact/stoney | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Soft to medium |
| 75 – 100 ft | Shale (with minor sand/silt) | Gray or green shale, silty, may present with thin sandstone/siltstone streaks | Color: Gray/Green Hardness: Medium |
| 100 – 170 ft | Sandstone & Shale | Massive to interbedded sandstone and gray shale; local fine sand zones, aquifer zone | Color: Gray/Yellow Hardness: Firm to hard |
| 170 – 250 ft | Sandstone & Shale, minor limestone | Layered gray shale, yellow-brown sandstone, occasional limestone streaks; principal water-producing zone | Color: Gray/Yellow Hardness: Hard |
| 250 – 300 ft | Sandstone | Thick massive sandstone, clean, forms main aquifer for deeper high-capacity wells | Color: Yellow-buff Hardness: Very Hard |
