The <br />purpose of the soil boring study is <br />in respect to AEP Indiana <br />Michigan Power's Central South <br />Bend Reliability Project, one of <br />six projects from Powering Up <br />Greater South Bend Program. <br />The concept is to strengthen the <br />local transmission grid by <br />upgrading two aging substations <br />and constructing an underground <br />Location/Description <br />The stretch of Elwood Avenue <br />being accessed is from Medora 10 r1of ge a�1'h-,P(, WrPn ���ah r rva a rs.�q,,a�ndiaa�, .use a l��r�>�s ��. <br />a",�wda~r° J." �a'��a-�rr ara��u� <br />Avenue to Anderson Avenue. The boring is identified in Figure 1. Also, identified in the figure <br />are water main and sewer structures that may be impacted by boring in this area. Utilities other <br />than the identified water main, sewer, or AEP existing lines shall be identified by AEP I & M. If <br />the soil boring location is in the pavement of the street and not to the side, the combined sewer <br />and water main running the center of this stretch of Elwood Avenue will need to be addressed. <br />Considerations <br />Although, locational awareness of utilities is the focus of the soil borings, transportation will be <br />impacted. At Soil Boring Location 1, SB1, all or a portion of equipment will need to be parked <br />within the street, causing an interruption to through traffic. The access permit form gives AEP <br />the right to trim or cut vegetation if necessary for survey purposes. The vegetation to be <br />impacted at S131 is grass. This will need to be replaced when boring is finished. <br />We deliver services that empower everyone to thrive!! <br />
