Knickerbocker Floodplain Construction Friday


Residents around the Knickerbocker site of Thornton Creek (the intersection of 20th Ave NE and NE 100th Street) received a notice late today from Seattle Public Utilities,

There will a construction crew working at the Knickerbocker site tomorrow, June 22, 2012, from approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. They will be drilling seven (7) groundwater wells 6-8 feet deep using an excavator with a small drill rig. It will generate some construction noise. The wells will be capped when they’re done.
 
There will be another crew there next week to hand-dig three (3) additional shallow wells, approximately 2-3 feet deep, for devices that will show the elevation of the stream. All work will be done next to the stream and not in the water itself

More information is available at the SPU site.
