NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — The Boring Company released an Environmental Impact Assessment Report from a third party for the Music City Loops in Nashville.
The 149 page report, found here, has information under the following categories:
- noise vibration
- hazardous and regulated materials
- health and safety
- land use planning and zoning
- aquatic resources
- endangered species
- cultural resources
- visual impact
- transportation and traffic
- infrastructure and utilities
- air quality and greenhouse gas emissions
- sensitive populations
The Davey Resource Group conducted this report. When it comes to noise, the assessment states TBC stays within allowed levels and has paused for neighbors before.
Underground infrastructure is avoided with “procedures (that) involve thorough research and due diligence to identify existing utilities using public records, one-call systems, and geophysical surveys.”
Environmental impacts could come from “temporary air quality effects from construction would occur from combustion emissions due to the use of fossil fuel-powered equipment and fugitive dust emissions,” with a minimal effect planned.
TBC hopes to start digging the tunnel by the end of 2025. There is a Nissan Stadium stop proposed.
In addition to FOX17 News Johnny Maffei being first to report on the potential Titans’ tunnel stop, he’s hearing from both sides on traffic reduction impacts.
