From the National Park Service:
“After years of intensive planning, design, permitting, and coordination, the Soapstone Valley Park Sewer Rehabilitation project is about to begin!
Beginning on Friday, February 11, 2022, DC Water contractors will begin site visits to complete survey work in the Soapstone Valley Park area. They will stake out the Limits of Disturbance (LOD), and tag trees for removal, trimming or protection. This part of the project will not require heavy equipment and is expected to be complete by February 28, 2022. Following this task, construction activities will begin after the necessary permits are issued by the National Park Service and the District of Columbia government.
The project will address aging and defective sewer pipes extending from Albermarle Street NW to Broad Branch Road NW and will prevent further sewer failures while providing improved water quality in the park and creek.”
