Phase 2: note: the county pumps were off when we showed up for work. The water level was high. We called the county at 7am, they showed up at 8:30 am to turn them on. 
After the got the pumps on, it took a few hours for the water level to go down enough for us to get in the ditch. We hauled 57 stone from phase 1 to build a ramp to get into the ditch. We moved the dam down 100’. We reset the 6” pump and excavated 25’ of dirt and hauled it to phase 1.
