Ringle area wells typically encounter a surficial mixed sand/gravel/clay layer, underlain by decomposed/weathered granite, then transition to solid granite bedrock.

Analysis of representative well logs in the Ringle region reveals a typical stratigraphic sequence: a shallow sand, gravel, and occasional clay cover (often caving, brown or mixed in color), typically extending from the surface to approximately 10–20 feet, is followed by a zone of decomposed, weathered, or broken granite which may include some clay or iron oxide staining (roughly 10–40 feet). Beyond this, solid granite of varying hardness and occasional color changes (gray, red, or green tints) dominates, commonly extending much deeper than domestic well requirements. Most residential wells that provide 5–15+ GPM are completed between 100–140 feet, occasionally deeper if higher yields are needed or if initial granite yields are low.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 15 ft | Sand/Gravel/Clay | Mixed surficial material; coarse sand, gravel, occasional clay, brown to yellowish, caving in some locations. | Color: Brown/Yellowish Hardness: Soft to medium |
15 – 40 ft | Decomposed/Weathered Granite (with possible clay or iron staining) | Decomposed or weathered granite, sometimes with interbedded clay or iron-rich zones, variable texture, transitional to bedrock. | Color: Red, gray, greenish, or mottled Hardness: Soft to firm |
40 – 200 ft | Granite Bedrock | Dense granite bedrock, occasional color variation (gray, greenish, reddish), often the productive aquifer zone. | Color: Gray, red, greenish Hardness: Hard |
