Document Description
Verizon requests an encroachment permit from DWR to inspect an existing cable and to install a new 2-inch high density polyethylene (HDPE) Standard Dimension Ratio (SDR)-11 duct from Aqueduct MP 93.37L to an existing Verizon hand hole at MP 92.97L. First, using a mini excavator and hand tools, excavations will be made at both mileposts to locate the communication boxes; an approx 2,220 ft trench will be dug to connect them. The trench will be about 2 ft wide, by 4 ft deep. The excavations for the boxes will measure approx 4 ft long x 4ft wide x 4ft deep. About 3 cy of material will be excavated at each milepost. Once the trench is complete, a new 24 count fiber optic cable will be placed in the trench from MP 93.37L to MP 92.97L and the cable will be spliced at each end. Once the work is complete, all excavated areas will be backfilled and compacted.
