Well Drillers Near Richland, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Richland area.

Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of the submitted well logs, the representative geological profile for the Richland, MI area generally consists of upper layers of brown clay mixed with gravel or cobbles, interbedded fine or silty sands, and deeper substantial zones of gravel and sand & gravel. Some wells report intervals of blue/gray clay or fine sand and occasional presence of sandstone (outlier), but the most consistent pattern is an upper clay or clay/gravel cap transitioning downward to alternating sand/gravel and clay intervals. The principal water-bearing units used for supply are most often deeper sand & gravel lenses or beds below ~70-100 feet, with residential wells typically completed in sand & gravel at 80-110 ft. Static water levels vary from 15 to 60 ft below grade. Shallow productive zones exist, but higher and more reliable yields come from greater depths.
