Tecolote Tunnel, 7 ft in diam, 6.4 mi long, carries supplemental water for irrigation and municipal use in vicinity of Santa Barbara; inflows of water reached 9200 gpm; efforts to seal off such flows were hampered by condition of rock and by heat up to 117 F; only remedy appeared to be to construct bulkhead through which grouting could be accomplished; workmen were hauled through hottest zone in muck cars filled with 88-F water.
