Detailed Summary

Analyzed well logs around Amery consistently show an unconsolidated glacial sequence overlying deeper consolidated layers. From the surface, wells usually encounter a thin organic topsoil (0-2 ft), followed by variable sand and sand/gravel layers (up to 60-80 ft). This is frequently underlain by interbedded clay or clay with gravel (to ~90 ft), then more gravel, sand, or broken limerock (frequently to 125-180 ft). In some wells, the deepest layers are sandy, sandrock, or sandstone, encountered below 125-150 ft. For residential wells requiring 5-15+ GPM, screens are commonly set in thick, clean sand/gravel or coarse sand layers, often between 60 and 120 ft, sometimes deeper with casing seated just into consolidated or hard layers. High capacity wells typically need to reach the deeper sand/sandstone units or largest gravel layers.
