Detailed Summary

Based on the sampled well logs from the Wolverine, MI region, most wells encounter a surficial mix of topsoil, sand, and gravel, typically followed by significant sequences of clay with varying degrees of hardness and the occasional presence of hardpan, shale, and silt. The deepest productive water-bearing zones are consistently found in coarse sand and gravel or sometimes limestone/shale at depth, generally below 100 ft and commonly at 160–220 ft. Residential wells targeting 5–15+ GPM are typically cased to 100–160 ft. Grouting is achieved with bentonite slurry, and PVC casing is standard. Static water levels average 25–44 ft below grade. Outliers (deep rock/limestone, flowing wells, or unusual geologies) are omitted for this representative profile.
