The soil excavated by the Tunnel Boring Machines (TBMs) in the construction of the Delta Conveyance Project will consist of mostly sand, silt, and clay, and could be suitably reused for a variety of purposes, such as levee improvements and environmental restoration projects. Rather than hauling the Reusable Tunnel Material (RTM) away, the Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority (DCA), working at the direction of the Department of Water Resources (DWR), has designed a program for testing, drying and stockpiling the material for potential reuse as part of DCA’s commitment to sustainability and minimizing community effects.
