TIME' Workmen take a lunch break among the hard steel and hard rock LUNCH . at the excavation site of the Upper . - Stillwater Dam. Ciews clear rock at Stillwater Dam Construction crews blasted and craped the mountain face leaving a 160 foot wall of naked bedrock to support the Upper Stillwater Dam. The construction of The Upper Stillwater Dam is moving on schedule, said Ray Bish, project manager. And the excavation may be completed by next spring. After the final yards of concrete are poured, the reservoir will hold 33,000 acre feet of water and extend nearly five miles. However, several miles of finest need to be cleared, additional rock blasted, and more ""ehOvds. of dirt removed. The dam must rest on solid bedrock,, said Stephen Jordan, safety engineer, and every last fleck of loose dirt must be cleared by compressed water and air. Finding the solid foundation of bedrock has been a troublesome chore. At the spot we call the hole, said Bish, crews have been unable to reach bedrock. red-streak- ed This hole sits where the old stream bed used to run, and is filled with water seepage and mud. The muck loaders has swallowed our front-enand caused a barrage of problems, said Bish.-Construction workers have not cleared the hole,' which caacadee d . much deeper than the foundation, and they have another 15 feet to dig. The Upper Stillwater Dam is only one of several projects constructed for the Central Utah Project. Crews are also moling out a massive tumid, starting at the dam site and running directly through the middle of the mountain. This tunnel will pipe water from the dam, through the Uintah Basin and into the Wasatch Front The tunnel is being dug from both ends. According to Jordan, the two crews are expected to meet and complete the tunnel in two weeks. The tons of unearthed rock and dirt from the tunnel's depths will be used " aa road base.
