Description <br />0 15 <br />Unconsolidated brown sand, silty, very fine to <br />medium fine. <br />15 15.5 Rock, ledge or boulder. <br />15.5 21 Unconsolidated brown sand, silty, very fine <br />to medium fine, water bearing. <br />21 26 Gray Clay, gravel and sandstone chips. <br />26 27 More gray clay, broken sandstone chips. <br />27 - Total Depth. <br />4" TTl nlaatir <br />Bedrock at 21 feet. <br />Well is cased from ground surface <br />to 27 feet with 4 inch inside diameter <br />plastic casing. <br />15.5 to 21 feet contains unconsolidated fine <br />material under a "quick" condition known <br />locally as "quicksand" or "quickmud". <br />Bottom 5 feet of 4" ID casing is per- <br />forated with 3 rows of hacksaw cuts, the <br />cuts about 6 inches apart. <br />The unconsolidated material at this <br />location is not suitable for obtaining <br />a water supply for any use. A pumping <br />well here would only pump dirty water, <br />mud, and sand. The pump would get <br />clogged with sand the the well bore <br />would fill up with mud. <br />Perforations were set as deep as possible <br />in an attempt to reduce quicksand invasion <br />Well was completed to monitor any under- <br />ground flow from Red Wash. <br />i <br />Ground <br />Surface <br />rations <br />ft. <br />• <br />Li <br />
