Detailed Summary

Analysis of representative well logs from Muskegon County shows a dominant sequence of surficial dry sand (10–20+ ft), then a mix of finer water-bearing sands or occasional clay/silt layers (10–20 ft thick), and most often a significant, lower water-bearing sand or sand/gravel formation extending to final depths from 40 to 90 ft. Thin clay/silt lenses (3–10 ft) are frequent but discontinuous. The most productive aquifers are consistently sands and sand/gravel either above or below minor confining clay/silt layers. Static water levels in wells average 10–20 ft below grade. A typical residential well for adequate and sustainable yield (5–15+ GPM) is generally completed at 45–70 ft, with high-capacity wells extending to 70–90 ft.
