Detailed Summary

A synthesis of well records from the Foxboro region of Douglas County, WI, shows a consistent geologic pattern: an upper thick clay layer, followed by a substantial hardpan or till section, with occasional interbedded boulders or gravel. Productive aquifer zones are typically encountered as coarse sand, cemented sand/gravel, or similar materials, commencing near 225-250 feet. Residential wells achieving 5-15+ GPM generally require drilling to at least this depth. Static water levels tend to range from 50-95 feet, supporting submersible pumps. Well construction commonly employs rotary mud drilling, with casing set from the surface to just above the productive zone and a screened interval across the sand/gravel aquifer. Cemented grout is the typical annular sealant.
