Detailed Summary
Based on synthesis of regional well logs, the representative geological column for Yale is: (1) a thin layer of topsoil/clay (1-10 ft); (2) a thick sequence of dense clays and/or clay mixed with sand or gravel extending through at least 30-45 ft; (3) interbedded, water-bearing sand and sand/gravel units typically found from 45-105 ft; (4) in some wells, further sequences of clay, silt, and gravel may extend to ~175 ft; (5) at greater depths (100-200+ ft), some wells encounter shale or sandstone. Water supply for most residential applications comes from sand and sand/gravel layers between 60-105 ft. Static water levels generally range from 5 to 55 ft below ground. Drilling methods are predominantly rotary (mud/cable tool), wells are grouted with bentonite/cement to between 75-160 ft, and typical casing is steel or PVC to just below the major aquifer.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 2 ft | Topsoil/Thin Clay | Thin brown/yellow clay or organic-rich topsoil, commonly found as surface layer. | Color: Brown/Yellow Hardness: Soft |
| 2 – 15 ft | Clay | Dense yellow to brown clay, sometimes sandy; locally can grade into silty or stony clay. | Color: Yellow/Brown Hardness: Medium |
| 15 – 45 ft | Clay with Gravel/Sand | Gray to blue or brown clay, often with gravel inclusions, sometimes alternating with thin sand seams. | Color: Gray/Blue/Brown Hardness: Hard to Medium |
| 45 – 80 ft | Sand & Gravel (Water-bearing) | Gray or brown sand, sand and gravel, sometimes intermixed with minor clay; main aquifer zone for most wells in Yale area. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Medium/Loose |
| 80 – 105 ft | Clay with Gravel and Sand | Alternating gray clay, gravel, and sand; common continuation of aquifer zone, sometimes tight transitions. | Color: Gray Hardness: Hard/Medium |
| 105 – 175 ft | Clay with Sand/Gravel or Occasional Shale | Blue/gray clay, with some stony or graveley intervals; in deeper wells, can transition to shale or siltstone. Not present in all wells. | Color: Blue/Gray Hardness: Hard |
| 175 – 200 ft | Shale/Sandstone (where deep wells are present) | Black/blue shale and sandstone; rare, only in deepest wells and high capacity wells. | Color: Black/Blue/Gray Hardness: Hard |
