                Document Description
            
            The project is limited to the horizontal direction drilling of a bore path under Cade Creek, through which underground fiber optic cables will be routed for a Department of Transportation bridge. An AT40 Ditchwitch directional drill machine will be used to bore the underground path. The bell holes and staging areas will occur outside of the bed, bank, and channel of Cade Creek and will not impact riparian vegetation.
