Recommended Method
A generalized geologic profile for the Le Roy region features a surficial sand layer (often with some clay), followed by substantial, often thick clay layers, then interbedded sands and clay/gravel. The most consistent aquifers for domestic supply are coarse/fine sand or sand & gravel zones beneath 80–110 ft, with static water levels usually 20–110 ft below grade. Deeper, thicker sand or sand & gravel formations are typical water sources for both residential and higher-capacity wells. High-capacity wells (for irrigation or small municipal use) commonly reach 170–210+ ft and are screened in thick confined or semi-confined aquifers.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 30 ft | Sand (fine to medium, sometimes mixed with clay) | Clean to slightly silty sand; may include some fine clay-laminations in places. | Color: Light brown/yellow Hardness: Loose to medium |
30 – 85 ft | Clay (with sandy or gravelly intervals) | Dense clay with minor sand or gravel seams. | Color: Gray to brown Hardness: Hard |
85 – 110 ft | Sand (coarse to medium, clean, often main aquifer) | Water-bearing sand, good yield, locally transitions to sand/gravel. | Color: Yellow to light brown Hardness: Medium to hard-packed |
110 – 150 ft | Clay (may contain gravel or stones) | Stiff clay, sometimes with gravel/stones, semi-confining. | Color: Gray Hardness: Hard |
150 – 190 ft | Alternating clay, sand, and occasional gravel | Interbedded layers; mostly clay with sand/gravel seams. | Color: Gray/brown Hardness: Variable |
190 – 210 ft | Sand & Gravel (main aquifer for deeper/higher capacity wells) | Coarse, water-bearing, primary high-yield aquifer. | Color: Yellow-brown Hardness: Medium |
