Detailed Summary
Based on multiple well records sampled across the Paw Paw region, the most representative geologic profile is a surficial sequence of sand and sand/gravel to a depth of approximately 40-55 ft, often underlain by lenses of gray clay or silt. Below the clay, additional, generally coarser, water-bearing sand and/or sand mixed with gravel layers often occur—commonly the aquifer target for residential wells—extending to depths of about 70-110 ft. Thinner clay or silt beds may occur between aquifer units. The water table is typically encountered between 15 and 55 ft below grade. Most residential wells with yields in the range of 10-20 GPM are drilled to 70-105 ft, with higher capacity wells extending to 110-120 ft in more developed or high-demand locations. Construction typically uses PVC or steel casing to near terminal depth, with granular bentonite or slurry grout.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 40 ft | Sand and Sand/Gravel (Fine to Medium) | Brown, fine to medium sand, commonly with intermixed fine to medium gravel; sometimes slightly clayey. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Soft to moderate |
| 40 – 60 ft | Clay or Silt (Gray) | Gray or brownish-gray clay or silt, massive, with occasional thin sand streaks; confining, locally discontinuous. | Color: Gray Hardness: Soft |
| 60 – 88 ft | Sand/Gravel (Water-Bearing) | Coarse to medium sand and gravel, often highly permeable and water-bearing; main aquifer zone for residential supply. | Color: Brown, Gray Hardness: Medium |
| 88 – 98 ft | Clay or Silt | Thin gray clay or silt, more common in deeper wells; may locally be absent. | Color: Gray Hardness: Soft |
| 98 – 110 ft | Sand/Gravel (Water-Bearing, Coarse) | Gray to brown coarse sand and gravel, often the deepest aquifer zone tapped in typical wells. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Medium |
