Detailed Summary

Based on synthesis of well logs from the Lake Hallie region, the representative geological profile starts with topsoil (very thin), brown sand and/or gravel, followed by a significant interval of tan/brown sand or sand with some clay. Most wells transition into thick zones of medium to hard, tan or gray sandstone, sometimes with beds described as soft or shaley, before possibly reaching quartzite or similar hard rock at greater depths. Residential wells (5–15+ GPM) commonly finish within 95–130 feet, corresponding to the hard sandstone. Static water levels usually occur between 30–70 feet below ground. High capacity well intakes may extend slightly deeper into the hard sandstone, often not exceeding 140 feet.
