Detailed Summary
A generalized geological profile for the Rosebush area indicates that wells usually begin in a surficial sand or sandy clay layer, quickly transitioning into a thick sequence of clayey material, often including intervals of sand, gravel, or mixed lithologies. The primary water-yielding aquifer is typically encountered between 60 and 110 ft depth, composed of sand or sand with gravel (and sometimes minor clay), representing the most consistent and productive zone for household water wells. Beneath this, clay or clayey layers may reappear or continue. The static water level across the sampled wells averages near 22 ft below surface. Typical residential wells (5–15+ GPM) are completed at ~80–110 ft, with higher capacity wells or more uncertain locations drilled to 120 ft or more. Casing is commonly installed from surface down to the top of the main aquifer zone (usually 65–100 ft). Grouting is performed with bentonite slurry or pellets, generally from surface to about 65–95 ft.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 12 ft | Sand/Sandy Clay (occasionally with gravel or silt) | Surficial sand, sandy clay, or sand & clay mix. Locally may have minor gravel. | Color: Buff to gray, may be reddish Hardness: Soft to medium |
| 12 – 60 ft | Clay (with sand, gravel, or stones, occasional sandy clay) | Massive clay, often with intervals or stringers of sand/gravel; color and hardness vary; locally includes some stones or boulders. | Color: Typically gray, blue, or red Hardness: Medium to hard |
| 60 – 95 ft | Clay with sand/gravel, sandy gravel, clayey sand | Transition zone with mixed clays and increasing sand/gravel; some sections dominantly sand/gravel with minor clay, often the beginning of the main aquifer zone. | Color: Gray or mixed Hardness: Medium |
| 95 – 110 ft | Sand/Sand & Gravel (main aquifer) | Dominant water-yielding layer: clean sand, coarse sand, or sand & gravel, locally may have minor interbedded clay. This interval widely reported as the screened or water-bearing zone. | Color: White, buff, or gray Hardness: Soft to medium |
| 110 – 120 ft | Clay or clayey sand/gravel | Lower confining layer—clay with minor sand/gravel. In some wells, base of aquifer is transitional. | Color: Gray Hardness: Medium |
