Detailed Summary

Examination of well logs from Three Rivers reveals the most common subsurface sequence is: a thin layer of topsoil or clay (0-5 ft), followed by various combinations of sand and gravel sometimes interbedded with clay layers. The sandy/gravelly zones typically become thicker and coarser below 15-20 ft and frequently serve as the main aquifer at 35-70 ft depth. Clays, when present, are commonly brown/gray and range up to ~30 ft thick but rarely extend below 60 ft. Most wells reach final depths between 43 and 90 ft, nearly always terminating in sand or sand/gravel. Typical residential wells draw from depths of 45-70 ft to achieve reliable yields of 10+ GPM.
