Detailed Summary

Based on synthesis of the supplied well logs, the typical Argyle-area well geology begins with 7–12 feet of clay. This is followed by a substantial limestone or dolomite sequence (Galena/Platteville/Trenton) that generally extends down to ~90-190 feet. Below the main carbonate units, St. Peter or similar sandstones frequently occur, with some deeper wells encountering multiple limestone/sandstone transitions. Most residential wells target the upper limestone units but may extend into sandstone for increased capacity. Drilling methods are consistently rotary with mud circulation, with casing set through the bulk of unconsolidated and partially consolidated material. Water yields of 5–25 GPM are common at depths of ~120–250 feet.
