Start Date: Monday, March 14, 2022 - 9:00am to Friday, March 25, 2022 - 5:00pm
A backhoe/excavator will be operating at 28 Eric Street starting on March 14 to excavate test pits at several locations on site.

Prior to the start of field work, contractors will be meeting on site with utility companies to confirm the location of any underground utilities.
The purpose of this work is to assess the environmental quality of the soil. The results of the soil analysis will dictate the next steps for the project.

In determining a possible source of groundwater seepage noted to occur within the city-owned property at 28 Eric Street, a limited geotechnical investigation will be carried out. The limited geotechnical investigation will include the use of a rubber tire backhoe for approximately one hour duration on site to be completed by excavating two test pit excavations approximately one metre in size and up to three metres deep. Following the examination of the soils, the test pit will be backfilled and the site re-instated to pre-existing conditions.
