The toilet shower building will be closed so no flow from the building is anticipated during the work.

Q: What is the anticipated water table at the site.

A: Water table is historically high, usually between 2 and 4 ft below the surface.

Q: Is repair of the asphalt road to be included in the work?

A: Any asphalt road or parking area removed or damaged due to the work on the site must be replaced for its full depth and road width. The road must be cut and the full width of roadway must be replaced in the damaged area.
