To establish the conveyance system, up to three (3) temporary construction laydown areas will be required. These areas will likely contain: a work area, a material storage area and workers’ car parking. Construction laydown areas will be in areas of cleared land to avoid disturbance to existing vegetation. Project activities will be limited to the construction footprint Right Of Way (ROW) and will include vegetation clearing and trimming, construction of the wastewater conveyance system, backfilling and reinstatement activities.
