Detailed Summary

Based on six representative well logs near Paris, MI, the typical subsurface profile shows an upper sand or loamy sand (~10–20 ft), underlain by a heterogeneous sequence of red, blue, or sandy clay with some gravel and interspersed sands, generally 30–60 ft thick. The most reliable residential aquifers are in the deeper sand or sand/gravel layers at depths from 40–80+ ft. Static water levels are usually between 8–63 ft, with typical residential yields of 10–15 GPM. Deeper high-capacity aquifers are commonly screened in thick basal sands at 60–140 ft, where available.
