Detailed Summary
A representative geological profile for Niles, MI and its immediate region, based on multiple well logs, shows the following sequence: a thin layer of topsoil/clay at the surface (1–5 ft), underlain by a thick sequence of sand and gravel, sometimes interlayered with lenses of clay or silt. The principal aquifer is this sand and gravel zone, generally encountered from a few feet below grade to depths of 60–80 ft. Some profiles report blue/brown clay layers of limited thickness, but sand and gravel dominate the section. Deeper wells (>100 ft) may encounter further sand and gravel with occasional clay stringers, but no consistent, thick confining clay or bedrock within this depth range. Residential wells typically achieve 5–15+ GPM at 65–90 ft, while high-capacity wells are screened deeper, often down to 140–150 ft.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 2 ft | Topsoil/Surface Clay | Thin surficial layer, usually clay, silt, or topsoil | Color: Brown/Black Hardness: Soft |
| 2 – 35 ft | Sand & Gravel with minor Clay | Medium to coarse sand and gravel, minor clay lenses, hydrogeologically active | Color: Brown/Tan/Gray Hardness: Loose to medium |
| 35 – 55 ft | Clay/Silt (occasional, not always present) | Discontinuous blue or brown clay/silt layers or sandy clay; thickness variable, not a regional aquitard | Color: Blue/Brown/Gray Hardness: Medium |
| 55 – 90 ft | Sand & Gravel (Coarse, Principal Aquifer) | Clean, well-sorted sand, gravel, and some cobbles; major water-bearing zone | Color: Tan/Gray Hardness: Loose |
| 90 – 140 ft | Sand & Gravel with Clay Interbeds | Thick, generally coarse sand and gravel, with occasional layers or stringers of clay or clayey gravel; important for high-capacity wells | Color: Tan/Brown/Gray Hardness: Loose to firm |
