This report covers the <br /> period from July 1, 2000 through September 30, 2000. <br /> Terry Tunnel Bulkhead <br /> The Terry Tunnel bulkhead was inspected on August 11, 2000 and August 24, 2000. <br /> During these inspections, pressure gage readings were taken (39-40 psi). A sample was <br /> also taken from the pool behind the bulkhead for field parameters during the August 11`h <br /> inspection (results included with report). Field parameters were not taken during the <br /> August 24th inspection because water was actively being pumped from the surface <br /> settling ponds through the bulkhead pipe at the time of inspection to maintain a no <br /> discharge status. Pumping occurred intermittently through July and August to maintain <br /> the no discharge status. The quantities pumped are included with this report. On August <br /> 24`", the bulkhead pipe was permanently grouted shut, in preparation for placement of a <br /> near surface bulkhead to eliminate flows to surface through the tunnel and allow final <br /> closure and reclamation of the Terry Tunnel site. <br /> Inspection of the bulkhead and immediate tunnel area did not reveal any reason for <br /> concern or give any indication that the bulkhead is not performing as designed. <br />
