Detailed Summary

The generalized geological profile for the White Cloud region consists of alternating sequences of sand, gravel, and clay layers, commonly beginning with surface sands and mixed clays to depths of ~15–30 ft. Below, one or two moderate-thickness clay layers (with intermittent sands) persist to about 50–60 ft, after which thick water-bearing sand, sand & gravel, and sand with clay lenses dominate through to 130–150 ft. In deeper areas, further sand-gravel and clay alternations may extend to 180–200 ft or more. The most reliable and commonly utilized water-bearing formations are medium-coarse sand or sand & gravel between ~50–150 ft. This profile supports reliable residential yields of at least 10–15 GPM at ~130–150 ft, with higher capacity wells completed deeper as required. Most wells use rotary or rotary-mud drilling with bentonite cement grouting and PVC casing.
