Talk to Sully Mathis
Sully Mathis is located near the dam inside Thicket Excavations. Talk to him to begin the quest.
He will ask you to repair the underwater pipes below the dam.
Haggle for a Higher Pay
With a high enough level of Charisma, you can haggle for your reward for up to 125 Caps.
Repair the Underwater Pipes
There are 3 underwater pipes located in the dam below. Keep in mind that the water is irradiated and it will deal 10 Rads per second. Take precautions by taking Rad-X before diving.
Look for Bubbles on the Surface
To locate these pipes, look for bubbles on the surface of the water and then dive in to find the source. This way, you can do the task without drowning.
Start the Pump
After successfully turning the valves, take some Radaway to recover and then talk to Sully. He will ask you to start the pump.
The pump is the big yellow machine right beside Sully. Activate it.
Kill the Two Mirelurks and Talk to Sully
Two Mirelurks will spawn once you activate the pump. Defeat them.
After doing so, talk to Sully again to finish the quest.
Does Pull the Plug Drain the Quarry?
The Quarry Will Be Drained After 24 Hours
You will soon find out once you get back after 24 in-game hours that the quarry has been drained and a group of Raiders has taken control of the base that was once the dam.
You will also discover that Sully is a Raider Boss and will be hostile towards you when you come back.
