the pipe was exposed. The leak appeared to be a hole iri the pipe, acid the wafer was spraying <br />due to pressure in the pipe. The pipe exhibited extensive rusting. There did not appear to be <br />significant distortion of the pipe. The pipe was patched, and the area was backfilled with dry dirt. <br />By about 1:00 p.m., also on October 25, 2000, it became apparent that another leak existed, <br />and the area was excavated again. Two additional leaks were subsequently identified and <br />repaired. Both of these leaks were also coming from holes in the pipe. Again rust was noted on <br />the pipe, and there was no evidence of significant pipe distortion. <br />During the repair sequence, the contractor's truck broke through the Tatum access bridge. Mr. <br />Thompson and the contractor obtained temporary repair materials and immediately temporarily <br />repaired the bridge. Ms. Tatum confirmed that it was Tatum's intention to redeck the bridge <br />anyway, and that the materials for the permanent bridge repair were actually on site. <br />Photographs were taken of the water line repair and soil importation activities as itemized below. <br />Photographic log - (Water leak and pasture damage) <br />Photographed October 25, 2000 <br />1.
