Detailed Summary
Based on a synthesis of representative well logs, the typical geological sequence in the Cameron, WI region is characterized by a thick sand and gravel aquifer (often slightly silty or with interbedded clay layers), beginning immediately beneath a thin soil horizon. This permeable zone typically extends from just below surface to between approximately 38 and 136 feet deep, sometimes with multiple gradational (clean to dirty/fine or with clay) sand intervals. In wells drilled deeper than ~100-140 feet, the basal unit is consistently sandstone, which is hard to very hard and serves as an important secondary aquifer. Most residential wells are completed within the unconsolidated sand and gravel, while higher capacity and deeper wells are finished in sandstone. Static water levels are generally shallow (14-65 ft), confirming reliable aquifer recharge and productivity (output 8-20+ GPM common).
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 1 ft | Topsoil | Brown/black, loose, organic-rich surface soil | Color: Brown/Black Hardness: Soft |
| 1 – 44 ft | Sand & Gravel | Tan/Brown, non-caving, mostly clean to slightly silty sand and gravel, good aquifer material | Color: Tan/Brown Hardness: Loose to medium |
| 44 – 85 ft | Sand & Clay | Tan/Brown, caving, intermixed sand and clay, locally thicker/leaner clay beds possible | Color: Tan/Brown Hardness: Medium |
| 85 – 136 ft | Sand & Gravel | Yellow/Tan, caving to non-caving, coarse sand and gravel (primary water-bearing zone for most wells) | Color: Yellow/Tan Hardness: Loose to well-packed |
| 136 – 172 ft | Sand | Yellow, caving, somewhat finer sand, with occasional gravel or silt inclusions | Color: Yellow Hardness: Loose |
| 172 – 240 ft | Sandstone | Yellow, non-caving, indurated, water-bearing sandstone; may transition from soft to hard with depth | Color: Yellow Hardness: Soft to Hard |
