I have over 20' depth of pure sand, drains like a sieve literally. It can rain here for days and I have no standing water. Since I grew up in this neighbor hood I vaguely recall the well drillers going down more than 60' before they began to encounter ( limestone) bed rock.

Just a heads up:

Gerry Burke, of LLL/NEC fame had some discouraging news
about their ground measurements.� He told me that in
some cases there was no configuration of NEC parameters that would
correlate with some real life ground measurements.

The other disclaimer is that NEC only models a uniform ground.
I know my ground is far from that.� After 1 to 5 feet of pure
clay, I hit "cemented hardpan" waterproof clay.� About 40 feet
down I hit sand, according to the well diggers.� No way to
model that with NEC.

Any help appreciated with either a copy of the paper or a pointer to where it might be downloaded. So far Google has not been my friend./
