First Street Tunnel Community
Hard Hat Tour
YOU’RE INVITED
Here is a
great opportunity for residents and project stakeholders to see DC Water’s
local flood relief construction project up close. You will have the opportunity
to see first-hand the main mining shaft, the tunnel boring machine (Lucy),
visit other construction areas and speak to the senior construction staff. The
purpose of Community Hard Hat Day is an effort by the FST Team to provide the
community an opportunity to learn more about this important environmental
project.
For your
convenience, three separate tours will be offered: 9:00 am; 12:00 noon and 2:30
pm. If you would like to participate, please set aside two to two and one half
hours on that day. All tours will begin at the main mining shaft site at 2507
First Street, NW, in the SKJD construction trailer, located at the far end of
the site, along the McMillian Sand Filter silos. Parking is
available at the lot across from the main mining shaft site adjacent to the
Army Corps of Engineers entrance or at the Bryant Street lot, corner of 2nd
and Bryant Street NW.
This Tour will
include a trip down the main mining shaft and into the tunnel along with a
walking tour inside the V Street and Adams Street Construction Staging
Areas. All tours begin with brief safety training since participants will
be required to adhere to project safety protocol. Also, all tour participants
will be required to sign a “Visitor Release and Indemnification Form.” And it
is critical that participants wear flat, sturdy shoes (no open toe sandals or
high heels). We will also need your shoe size for muck boots along with your
safety-vest size (small, medium, large or ex-large) so that we can provide you
with the proper safety gear for entry onto the construction site(s). Please
have this information available when making your site tour reservation with
Vickey Wilcher. DC Water and SKJD will provide necessary accommodations
for those with special needs with advance notice.
Since tour
space is limited, please note that participants will need to reserve space in
their preferred time slot in advance of the tour. Reservations will be
accepted on a first-come-first-serve basis. All tour participants must be at
least 18 years old or older. We apologize, but children and pets will not be
allowed to participate.
You may
reserve your space by responding to this email (please remember to include your
shoe and vest size in your message); or you may call Vickey Wilcher at
202.787.4717 with any questions or concerns.
Don’t forget
to make your reservations. We look forward to seeing you on the tour!
The FST Team
