Narrative

The sealed area of the 3 Right 1 Main North apparently had an area subside. This caused a run-off pond on the surface to drain into the sealed area. It was estmated that the water contained in the pond was approximately 1 million gallons. The inundation of water into the sealed area caused water to be impounded behind the seals. The water was drained from behind the seals.
