Detailed Summary
The representative subsurface profile for Roscommon Township consists of an upper sand or sandy loam (5-25 ft thick), underlain by one or more thick clay or clayey till layers (typically blue or gray and 30-65 ft thick), then a lower layer(s) of sand or sand & gravel (frequently coarse and water bearing) commencing between approximately 40-70 ft. Strong presence of alternating sand and clay continues with depth, but the largest, most productive aquifer is typically observed at 50-90+ ft. Residential wells for typical household needs (5-15+ GPM) generally terminate around 60-90 ft, while deeper high-capacity/flowing wells can reach 120-130 ft.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 6 ft | Sand | Brown/Tan surface sand, locally contains some silt or loam. | Color: Brown/Tan Hardness: Loose |
| 6 – 40 ft | Clay | Generally gray or blue clay, sometimes with minor sand partings, can be stiff to very stiff. | Color: Blue/Gray Hardness: Moderate to Hard |
| 40 – 48 ft | Sand | Medium to fine sand, some potential for water bearing zones. | Color: Gray/Tan Hardness: Loose |
| 48 – 70 ft | Clay | Gray or blue clay, sometimes with minor silt or very fine sand, low permeability. | Color: Gray/Blue Hardness: Hard |
| 70 – 88 ft | Sand & Gravel | Coarse sand and gravel, principal aquifer zone, high permeability and yields, water bearing. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Loose |
| 88 – 130 ft | Sand & Gravel / Unconsolidated | Coarse sand, gravel, and minor cobbles. Major water-bearing formation, found only in deepest wells. | Color: Mixed Hardness: Loose |
