| Title | Pumping Plant Discharge Tunnel Excavation |
| Description | Drilling completed for a round of blasting in a pumping plant discharge tunnel. This is the horizontal section of the tunnel and is 21 feet in diameter. Excavation continued into 1938 primarily in the upper areas of the Grand Coulee construction site that would support the upper portion of this monolithic structure and in supporting structures like the pumping plant that would eventually deliver irrigation waters to the Columbia River Watershed. |
