The tunnel boring machine (TBM) that will be used to drive the Delaware Aqueduct Bypass Tunnel has been christened NORA in recognition of Nora Stanton Blatch Deforest Barney, a noted suffragist and the first woman in the United States to earn a civil engineering degree. Nora worked for the New York City Board of Water Supply, a predecessor agency of the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), on the City's Catskill water supply system. The DEP celebrates the opening of a new fleet maintenance garage in Kingston, Ulster County. Construction is underway on a $25 million sewer upgrade project in Rosedale, Queens.
