Clearing land for my building and yes more math problems

[Chris616]

Thanks, I was wondering if there were some way you could tell me how many feet above sea level this USGS -- Groundwater Watch area of this well might be so that maybe I could use that number and then use how many feet above sea level my property might be and then maybe I could have a guestimate as to how many feet below the surface I might have groundwater.

I hope that makes sense?

This rainbow springs well is quite a few miles from my property but I do not know any other reference to use to get an idea of groundwater levels for my property

Do you have a better idea?

Im also wondering if you have any idea of where I might find something that tell me how far the sand goes down, whats below that and then below that. Do charts like this exist?

I have contacted the local extension services but havent heard back from anyone about this.

Yes, the Rainbow Springs well is far enough away that it might not be applicable to drilling on your property, Jason.

Mark's idea of checking for a state database of drilled private wells seemed more promising. Here's the link that you need if you want to do more looking around:
http://www21.swfwmd.state.fl.us/maps/pages/viewer_wcp.html

Since I was in there anyway I saved the well completion logs from four wells surrounding your property. All within half a mile. The "Measured Static Water Level" ranges from 40 feet to 71 feet.

That's exactly what I was talking about. Great research Chris!

Such a big help, I dont know how some of you guys are able to come up with this stuff. With this info I will visit the property owners and get an idea of water quality and any other information they would be willing to share.

I called again today to USGS and was transferred 5 times with very little help.

Thank you very much for your time

Thank you very much for your time

You're welcome, Jason.

If you're going to visit your neighbours, I'll give you a bit more info. I was curious about the 10 well drilling permits that show up in the details for the well that I called "Well #4". They date from 1969 to 2006 and were issued to ten different contractors. Those folks might have a story worth listening to.

If there is a story I will report back with it. Thanks again, I will be leaving again tomm evening and will hopefully come back with some more info.

I have another topic started, its called Terragrinder, I may buy the kit to see if its doable, the DVD will supposedly be delivered tomm.

Were you referring to this 'Rainbow Springs' ?

Not quite. The video is about the state park, but Jason has been looking at the water levels in a U.S. Geological Survey test well in the same vicinity:
