Detailed Summary

The representative well profile for the Ashland region is characterized by initial silty or sandy topsoil, underlain by a thick sequence of red, sticky, or firm glacial clay (often extending over 80–100 feet). Interbedded within or underlying the clay, coarse sand, sand & gravel, or mixed sand/hardpan intervals are present and sometimes water-bearing. At greater depths, sand and gravel layers become thicker and more frequent; in some wells, sandstone or clayey sand is encountered below 100–200 feet. The average static water level is between 15–100 feet, depending on well depth and specific location. For a residential yield of 5–15+ GPM, wells are typically 120–200 feet deep; higher-capacity or sandstone wells may reach 200–270+ feet.
