Frequently Asked Questions
Am phenol/Franklin Power Products Site
Franklin, Indiana	August 2019
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) consulted
with contractors for Amphenol (IWM Consulting) and the city of
Franklin (CrossRoad Engineers) to provide the following
answers to questions you may have about the upcoming sewer
replacement work. The project is part of the environmental
cleanup at the Amphenol site. These FAQs will be updated as
needed.
Q: How long will the roads be closed?
A: The project is set to begin in August and will be completed and open to
traffic by the end of 2019. There may be some paving and landscaping
work needed in the spring of 2020.
Q: I live within the boundaries of the project; how will I be able to get
to and from my house?
A: We do not expect any issues regarding reaching your property. Should
this change, CrossRoad Engineers staff will be in contact with property
owners regularly to discuss points of access and any restrictions.
Q: How will I receive my mail? Will delivery be discontinued during
the project?
A: Mail delivery will continue during the project. The U.S. Postal Service
may ask the contractor to relocate mailboxes to a centralized location near
the construction work for delivery. Property owners will be notified by
project staff and USPS if this happens.
Q: Where will my trash be picked up?
A: Detour routes will be established for trash service. The
contractor/project staff will coordinate with property owners and trash
services for pickup.
Q: How will emergency personnel reach our homes while the road is
closed?
A: Emergency personnel can follow the established detour routes to access
your home in the event of an emergency. Please be assured that frequent
updates will be provided to emergency personnel.
Q: Will the contractor be working on weekends?
A: The contractor will be able to work on Saturdays if it chooses, but no
Sunday work is anticipated.
Q: What hours will the contractor be working?
A: Work will be allowed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. unless
otherwise approved by the city of Franklin.
Q: Where will the sewers be excavated during the project?
A: The sewers are under the middle of the road of Forsythe Street
continued on back ...

... continuedfrom front
and in varying places under the road on Hamilton
Avenue (the length of sewer replacement is less on
Hamilton Avenue). The new sewers are going in
the same location as the old sewers.
Q: Will my water or sewer be cut off during
construction?
A: There could be minimal interruptions of either
or both service lines depending on the
circumstances at each house. In the case of
interruptions, the construction team will make
every attempt to communicate with each resident
beforehand and coordinate timing to accommodate
residents.
Q: Will EPA and Amphenol be removing
contaminated materials such as pipes, gravel,
and soil, and will that contamination affect me?
A: The existing main sewer line and contaminated
soil/backfill around and beneath the existing sewer
line will be removed and replaced with clean sand
and stone. The excavated contaminated material
will be placed directly into metal roll-off boxes
that will be sealed and removed.
Continuous air monitoring for dust and vapors will
occur during the work activities. Handling the
contaminated material in this manner limits
potential exposure to neighborhood residents.
Continuous air monitoring will notify the
construction team and EPA of any issues that
require immediate action to ensure air quality
remains safe.
Q: Where and how will contaminated materials
be stored?
A: The material will be placed directly into a metal
roll-off box that will be sealed, covered with a
tarp, and transported back to the former Bendix
Corp. facility (subsequently acquired by
Amphenol) on Hurricane Road. The material will
then be tested and sent for disposal at an approved
landfill within a few days.
Q: How will air quality be monitored during
construction?
A: Air monitoring will be conducted on a
continuous basis around the work area during
excavation for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
and particulates (dust). Air monitoring results will
be provided to EPA. EPA will be notified
immediately, and work will be temporarily stopped
in order to implement corrective actions if the
monitoring suggests the readings are above EPA-
approved levels.
Q: How will EPA/Amphenol decide whether my
sewer connection (lateral) needs replacement?
When will this decision be made and when will I
be contacted?
A: The lines connecting homes to the sewer mains
will be inspected with a camera or similar device
to determine their condition. If a lateral appears
damaged or has significant root intrusion, it will be
replaced. The homeowner will be contacted if the
lateral is recommended for replacement or lining,
and permission requested to complete that work.
Q: What are the large tanks being used for?
A: Certain areas of the excavation trench will
require dewatering for the sewer line to be
excavated and replaced. Water that is pumped
from the ground will be treated using a system of
four tanks. The water will be temporarily stored in
one tank to remove suspended sediment. The water
will then be transferred through a series of filters to
remove additional sediment, and any VOCs will be
removed with three filters (2,000-pound vessels
filled with carbon).
The water will then be transferred to the three
remaining tanks, tested, and re-treated as
necessary. When the treated water is confirmed as
clean, it will be discharged to the municipal sewer
system through a nearby manhole. It is anticipated
the treatment system will be located at the south
end of the construction zone.
