SECTION B. Project Information and Prior Project History
3e. Describe the overall project in detail including the type of equipment to be used:
One 2" water lines will be installed along an existing gravel driveway. The driveway crosses two tributaries
to the French Broad River and existing culverts facilitate the driveway crossing. The culverts do not have
enough cover to allow for the water line to be installed above them. Therefore, the water line will be
bored under the creek parallel to the driveway for approximately 10 feet. Construction equipment that will
be used includes horizontal drilling equipment and a small excavator.
