Labor Day Holiday Schedule
· In observance of the Labor Day holiday, most activities at the Kingston Ash Recovery site will be suspended September 4-6. Critical activities, such as dust control, train loading, and site security, will continue. A normal schedule will resume Tuesday, September 7.
Underpass Beams
· Concrete beams that will support the road bed for the bridge over the underpass will be set next week. After the beams have been set, concrete will be poured, forming the road bed. At some point, the remainder of the restored and new utilities will be tied into the existing lines. The bridge is scheduled to be complete by October 18.
September 23 Public Meeting
· The next Public Meeting hosted by TVA with participation from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will be held on September 23 in the auditorium of Roane County High School, from 5:30 – 8 p.m. A “Notice of Public Meeting” will be published in the Roane County News and the Shopper next week and posted on the TVA Kingston Website. An announcement will also be placed on the message board on Swan Pond Road. A copy of the Notice is attached.
If you have any questions, please give Katie Kline or me a call at 717-1645.
