Plymouth County, Town of Scituate - Sherman Corner, 40 meters North of Old Oaken
Bucket, 110 meters West of Maple St. Scituate Conservation Land. Location geo-referenced with a PLGR GPS. WELL CHARACTERISTICS.--Small hand-dug pit to 35 inches, mechanical drill
hole to 65 inches. Well type - 2.0 inch diameter screened PVC pipe, total well
depth = 65 inches below the surface. Installed October 2, 2001. ELEVATION.-- Surface is 25 Meters (82 feet) above sea level, from topographic map
(National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929). SOIL TYPE.--Newfields Series - moderately well drained soil formed in
ice contact deposits. Click for a complete pedon description of the soil log from the SCIT02 well. The estimated average seasonal high water table,
based on soil morphology for this site is 27 inches below the surface based on
soil morphology. GEOLOGY.-- Ice contact deposits (Supraglacial till with a sandy loam
eolian mantle). WELL OBSERVATIONS.--Highest recorded water table is-4 inches below the surface
on April 02, 2002. Hydrograph Notes: WT_Depth is the measured depth (inches) to water below the ground
surface. Ground surface datum for these readings is 0, to determine the actual
depth to water below the surface elevation subtract the depth in the table
from 82 feet. The 65 inch depth is the total
depth of the well.
