PlLssing under <br /> <br /> <br />Qnd through the dam in a concrete conduit structure with a rising <br /> <br /> <br />grade of 1% until elevation 6215 is olltained, the railroad fringes <br /> <br /> <br />along the hillsides in cutG and fills to Long's Canyon where a new <br /> <br /> <br />er,1bonkment is plc.nned on the south side of the present fill.
