Tunnelling operations under Lane Creek in Wellington have resumed.
- The project team has worked with the Ministry of the Environment’s Spills Action Team and Quinte Conservation since halting operations on April 16 when silt in the creek was reported.
- In response to the incident, coffer dams have been installed along the western banks of the creek.
- This measure along with continued adherence to erosion and sediment control plans and permitting will limit the risk of any future release of sediment into the watercourse during tunneling operations.
- Tunneling operations, which are anticipated to continue for the next 4-5 weeks, are required for the installation of the new water and sanitary trunk mains.
