Narrative

An increase in seepage from the west embankment of our D cell trilings pond was observed. Upon further investigation, a void near the toe of the downstream slope on the west embankment was discovered; resutling in corrective action-including pumping, trenching, diking and diverting water from the plant. Cause still under investigation.
