Detailed Summary
Based on synthesis of multiple well logs in the Rudyard region, the most common subsurface profile is thick clay or clayey till (often 90-150 ft), sometimes interbedded with thin sand seams, transitioning to fine and coarse sand layers (with possible gravel) at depth. Water is primarily sourced from these lower sand/gravel aquifers, occasionally above shallow limestone bedrock in some wells. Typical static water levels are moderate to deep (8-70 ft b.g.), supporting 10-15 GPM residential supplies at depths of 120-150 ft. Casing is usually set through the clay and sand, with wells grouted to approximately sand layer depth.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 90 ft | Clay | Gray or brown, silty clay, some local sand inclusions; forms a thick low-permeability overburden. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Soft-Plastic |
| 90 – 130 ft | Fine Sand | Mostly fine, occasionally silty sand; moderate water-bearing capacity, generally clean. | Color: Light/Off-white Hardness: Loose |
| 130 – 146 ft | Sand and Gravel | Mix of coarse sand and gravel, high-yield water-bearing zone, often used as primary aquifer. | Color: Tan/Gray Hardness: Loose |
| 146 – 154 ft | Limestone (occasional, not always present) | Shallow limestone bedrock, sometimes encountered at base of sand/gravel sequence, not always reported. | Color: Gray Hardness: Hard |
