Amock drill simulating an earth-
quake striking Bluestone Dam
causing substantial damage
brought the staff the ATTABOYS
award for excellent performance of
their duties during the special ex-
ercise.
The earthquake was part of a
dam safety emergency operation
held last month in order to test the
personnel in handling emergency
situations.
Simulated damage by the earth-
quake that measured 6.2 on the
Richter Scale sent the gantry crane
at the top of the dam into the lake,
monolith 14 on the right side of the
dam moved downstream 2 inches,
curbs on the spillway bridge spai-
led extensively, and the dam suf-
fered leakage of 50 - 100 gpm. Later
an aftershock of 4.2 knocked out the
commercial power, the telephone
system and all radio communica-
tion. In addition one employee was
knocked unconscious and had to be
taken to the hospital.
The Bluestone Lake personnel
proved that they could handle the
emergency exercise by meeting all
emergency situations required for
responsible safety operations.
Employees on duty when the
mock emergency occurred were:
David Eskridge, Darrell Gwinn,
David Staley, Robin Crawford, Ruth
Ann Tassos, David Rudisill, Stepha-
nie Richmond and Jody Richmond.
Billy Cole was on leave.
