The proposed project would require temporary impacts to the Arkansas River and an unnamed tributary to the Arkansas River to facilitate the installation of the proposed 42-inch sanitary sewer pipe. Temporary impacts would include construction related disturbance, including temporary sheeting and shoring along the river banks, mechanical clearing, excavation activities, and temporary dewatering activities. The work would be accomplished with equipment including a wheeled loader, dozer, and excavator. According to current plans, approximately 70,000 cubic yards of Arkansas River bed material would be excavated as part of the open-cut process. This material would be used to create temporary earthen berms to dewater sections of the Arkansas River and protect the proposed project during construction.
