Detailed Summary
Averaging sampled wells in and near Montague, the subsurface is dominated by thick sand sequences interbedded with clay, with water-bearing sand/gravel typically found at intermediate depths (30–80 ft). The most consistent pattern is thin surficial sand, followed by alternating clay and sand units. Wells for residential use are most commonly completed between 45–75 feet to access continuous, clean, water-bearing sand or sand/gravel. Deeper wells encounter a thicker clay section followed by more sand at greater depth, particularly toward 100+ feet. Static water levels are frequently 15–45 feet below grade. The most consistent successful well construction method is rotary drilling with bentonite or cement grout to at least 40–50 ft. Estimated residential yields are typically 10–20+ GPM at these depths.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 5 ft | Sand (dry) | Fine to medium grained, loose surficial sand, minor organic material in some logs. | Color: Light tan to brown Hardness: Loose |
| 5 – 12 ft | Clay | Silty to sandy clay, some gray or tan clay, occasional gravel inclusions. | Color: Gray to brown Hardness: Medium |
| 12 – 30 ft | Sand (water bearing) | Medium, coarse, or mixed sand, sometimes with gravel; upper water table aquifer in many wells. | Color: Tan to gray Hardness: Loose to medium |
| 30 – 60 ft | Sand & Gravel (water bearing) | Coarse sand with gravel, clean, main aquifer for most wells, high yields; lower portion may show some fining upward. | Color: Tan to light brown Hardness: Loose |
| 60 – 75 ft | Clay | Clay or silt with some sand interbeds, tight zone separating shallow and deeper aquifers in some wells. | Color: Gray to blue-gray Hardness: Medium to hard |
| 75 – 85 ft | Sand (fine to medium, minor clay) | Well sorted fine to medium sand, occasional thin clay stringers. | Color: Light tan Hardness: Loose |
| 85 – 100 ft | Sand & Clay, water bearing | Interbedded sand and clay, some logs note increased saturation and water production, lower yield than upper sands. | Color: Mixed tan/gray Hardness: Medium |
