Typical Two Rivers area wells encounter thick unconsolidated glacial clay and sand/gravel layers overlying limestone/dolomite bedrock. Residential wells usually terminate at or just into the limestone, after passing through significant clay and minor gravelly and sandy layers.

Recommended Method
Averaging data from multiple wells in the Two Rivers/Manitowoc region, the representative geological sequence consists of: 65-80 feet of clay (in some cases with zones of fill in the uppermost part), often subdivided with interbedded hardpan or sandy clay; a transition (10-55 ft thick) of sand & gravel/ sand & clay/gravelly clay lenses sometimes split by minor hardpan or more consolidated clay; and finally, limestone/dolomite bedrock from roughly 120–200+ ft. Most residential wells are completed around 130–165 ft to ensure reliable yield (generally ≥10 GPM), while higher capacity wells or those targeting deeper bedrock may extend to 200 ft or more.
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 12 ft | Clay with fill (locally) | Loose or disturbed surface soils, locally clay fill; low bearing strength. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Soft |
| 12 – 70 ft | Clay (glacial) | Thick, hard to soft glacial clay, sometimes described as 'hard clay'; may include minor sandy or silty zones. | Color: Red/Brown/Gray Hardness: Firm to Hard |
| 70 – 90 ft | Sandy Clay / Hardpan | Transition zone of sandy clay, hardpan, or indurated/banded clay; locally includes consolidated gravelly clay. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Hard |
| 90 – 125 ft | Sand, Sand & Gravel, or Gravelly Clay | Interbedded sand, gravel, and clay layers; sometimes dominantly gravel; primary unconsolidated aquifer material. | Color: Brown/Gray/Yellow Hardness: Loose to Medium |
| 125 – 150 ft | Gravel and/or Hardpan/Clay layers | Mixed zone; may include additional gravels or consolidated clay just above bedrock. | Color: Gray/Brown Hardness: Variable |
| 150 – 200 ft | Limestone/Dolomite Bedrock | Solid limestone or dolomite bedrock; fractured/weathered near top, often water-bearing. | Color: Light Gray to Tan Hardness: Hard |
