Randolph, WI53956
Fremont area wells commonly encounter a thick drift of sand, clay, and gravel above sandstone bedrock. A typical residential well is completed just into the sandstone for sustained yield.

Recommended Method
Based on multiple well logs from the Fremont area, the representative geologic section consists of a surficial sand or sand mixed with clay layer, followed by significant sequences of clay with occasional sand/gravel interbeds. This unconsolidated package is underlain by sandstone bedrock, which is the standard aquifer zone. Typical wells for residential use are cased to near the sandstone and drilled slightly into it to achieve yields of 5-25 GPM, with larger capacity wells extending deeper as needed. Outliers such as granite bedrock are rare and excluded from this profile.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |

0 – 30 ft | Sand/Sandy Clay | Loose sand or sand mixed with some clay, possibly with topsoil at the surface. | Color: Light brown/tan Hardness: Soft |
30 – 100 ft | Clay and Sandy Clay | Mostly clay, sometimes sandy or streaked with other materials, dense and plastic. | Color: Gray to red/brown Hardness: Firm to hard |
100 – 160 ft | Clay with Gravel | Clay interbedded or mixed with gravel and occasional sand layers. | Color: Gray, sometimes streaked or mixed Hardness: Medium |
160 – 270 ft | Sandstone | White to tan sandstone, water-bearing unit and common aquifer for wells. | Color: White to tan Hardness: Firm |
