Well Drillers Near Menominee, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Menominee area.

Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of well logs throughout Menominee and nearby areas, the most common geologic profile begins with 15-20 ft of sand, sandy clay, or sand mixed with stones. This is followed by a thick sequence (20-25 ft) of clay, clay mixed with stone or gravel, sometimes featuring alternating minor sand or stone lenses. The upper unconsolidated section usually extends to ~40 ft deep. Below this, fractured gray limestone (occasionally described as dark gray, hard, or with some red tones) predominates to the base of most sampled wells. Static water tables are typically between 8-18 ft. Most residential wells yielding 10-15+ GPM are completed at depths of 45-55 feet, just into the limestone bedrock. High-capacity or industrial wells may extend to 75-95 ft or more in the limestone, but the dominant functional sequence remains consistent.
