Detailed Summary
Based on multiple well logs from Burlington and surrounding rural areas, the most representative geologic sequence is: (1) a surface to ~20 ft clay (sometimes described as yellow, brown, or with gravel), (2) an extensive sand and gravel and/or clayey sand and gravel layer from ~20-60+ ft, (3) hardpan or dense clay/gravel in some logs from 24-43+ ft, (4) deeper, another sand/gravel or sand/gravel/clay mix continuing to 100+ ft, and (5) limestone bedrock encountered in some locations, typically beyond 100 ft. The common residential well targets sand and gravel aquifers between 40 and 100 ft, yielding 10-30+ gpm, with common casing set to near the base of the major sand/gravel aquifer. Static water levels range from 14 to 30 ft below surface. High capacity or deeper wells either extend sand/gravel completion or are finished into limestone below 100 ft.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 20 ft | CLAY (some gravel possible) | Yellow, brown, or red clay, sometimes mixed with gravel; caving typically minor | Color: Yellow/Brown/Red Hardness: Soft to medium |
| 20 – 45 ft | SAND & GRAVEL with CLAY | Coarse sand and gravel, occasional clay interbeds; good aquifer, may have transitions from sand/gravel/clay to cleaner sand/gravel | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Medium |
| 45 – 60 ft | SAND & GRAVEL | Clean sand and gravel, main aquifer for residential supply | Color: Gray/Yellow Hardness: Loose to medium |
| 60 – 100 ft | HARDPAN or CLAY/GRAVEL INTERBEDS | Dense clay, hardpan, or repeated gravelly clay/gravel and occasional stony clay; in some wells, sand/gravel lenses persist | Color: Gray/Blue/Variegated Hardness: Hard/Dense |
| 100 – 120 ft | LIMESTONE or CONTINUING SAND/GRAVEL | In some wells, limestone bedrock is present from ~100+ ft, in others deep sand or gravel continues; may be water-bearing if fractured | Color: Gray Hardness: Hard (if rock) or loose/medium (if sand/gravel) |
