The rock fragments and other material pulled out of the tunnel are marketable materials. The contractor will be responsible for handling this material. It will be temporarily stored on site at the No Business Creek pump station then hauled to the appropriate facilities in an approved manner for reprocessing and ultimately beneficial use. Trucks will remove the material on a daily basis. The work hours for material removal are limited from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. so as not to conflict with school bus schedules or commute times. Will my property be damaged by this construction? It is highly unlikely. One of the advantages of tunnel construction is that it is considered much less likely to cause an impact than conventional buried sewer line construction since it involves a completely isolated boring technique deep below the surface of the earth in solid rock. Because boring offers the latest technology and the machine can travel nearly 50 feet per day, the time it is directly below an indi
