Detailed Summary

A representative geologic profile for the Arena, WI region, based on a synthesis of the submitted well logs, consists most commonly of an unconsolidated sand or sand and gravel layer at the surface extending to depths of about 30–50 feet. In some cases (especially at greater total depth), underlying shale and mixed sandstone intervals may be encountered (to ~70–170 feet), followed by limestone/dolomite and occasional deeper sandstones. The most consistent and productive residential supplies are sourced from the upper sand and sand/gravel units, which typically yield 5–20+ GPM at moderate depths (30–50 ft), with higher-capacity wells sometimes constructed to 80–100+ ft or deeper where site geology or supply requires. Most domestic wells achieve suitable yields in the upper 30–50 ft, and static water levels for these wells are usually between 12–20 ft bgs. Outliers like very deep bedrock or highly fractured intervals are rare in Arena proper but do occur closer to local bedrock uplands. The most common construction method is rotary/mud circulation, with steel casing typically set through the sand/gravel into the first persistent confining/competent layer.
