New underground telecommunicaƟons cable at Kaplan’s Pond
This is a Type II acƟon under SEQRA.
•
A Ditch Witch (Model # 100sx) or hand digging or a combinaƟon of both will be used to install
the new underground telecommunicaƟons cable.
•
To prevent erosion and sediment discharge into Kaplan’s Pond and Bessemer Wetland, Verizon
and/or their contractor will restore the affected area to its previous condiƟon. The area will be
raked following the pass with the Ditch Witch and be seeded/mulched.
•
Once the poles are removed from the project locaƟon, Verizon and/or their contractor will fill
the holes with gravel, as well as clean compacted soil, and rake the area to grade, and seed and
mulch.
•
All Verizon owned debris will be removed from the project area once the project is complete.
The locaƟon of the proposed underground telecommunicaƟon cable is shown in the image below.
