Detailed Summary
Most Scottville area wells penetrate a sequence dominated by surface sand (sometimes mixed with boulders or gravel), underlain by brown or gray clay (sometimes silty or sandy), then one or more thick sand or sand/gravel water-bearing layers, often separated by thinner clay or clayey sand intervals. Coarse or medium sand forms the main aquifer. Typical static water levels are 10-65 ft below grade. Household wells with yields of 10-20+ GPM usually terminate around 60-130 ft, screened in coarse/medium sand. Granitic or stony layers are rare and generally ignored for regional profiling. Rotary mud circulation is the dominant drilling method. Typical casing extends to 90-115 ft, with cement or bentonite grout.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 3 ft | Topsoil/Sand | Topsoil or fine/medium sand, tan/brown, clean, loose | Color: Brown/Tan Hardness: Soft |
| 3 – 25 ft | Sand & Clay (occasional boulders) | Mixed brown/gray clay with sand lenses; some local gravel, occasional stones/boulders | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Medium |
| 25 – 50 ft | Clay with thin sand layers | Gray/brown clay, locally silty or sandy, occasional thin water-bearing sand streaks | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Firm |
| 50 – 80 ft | Sand (some clay/gravel) | Medium to coarse sand, occasionally mixed with some clay or gravel, primary water-bearing formation in most wells | Color: Tan/Brown Hardness: Loose/Medium |
| 80 – 120 ft | Alternating sand & clay | Fine/medium sand layers interbedded with brown, red, or gray clay; sand is dominant, aquifer yield sustained | Color: Mixed Hardness: Variable |
| 120 – 140 ft | Coarse sand/gravel (deep aquifer) | Water-bearing coarse sand/gravel, sometimes with rusty or clayey streaks, high yield zone | Color: Tan/Brown/Rust Hardness: Loose |
| 140 – 173 ft | Fine sand & clay | Fine sand with notable clay content, transition to bottom of data in deepest wells | Color: Tan/Gray Hardness: Loose/Soft |
