At two alternative proposed dam sites, to check for the possibility of seepage being able to occur through dam wall abutment rocks, a diamond drilling and core sampling programme is suggested. Test holes should be bored on a 50 ft. grid at both sites. A total of 80 vertical holes drilled to a depth between 50 feet and 100 feet is envisaged, which will involve 6675 feet of overall penetration.
