About this file

This document is a Special Provisions attachment for a bridge maintenance and repair project by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the Old Youngs Bay Bridge (Structure No. 00330). The project involves comprehensive bridge rehabilitation, including replacing timber pile caps, installing new steel pipe posts, repairing and filling holes in existing timber piles, and performing structural maintenance on multiple bridge bents. The work is focused on Bents 5, 11, 13, 17, and 39, with specific requirements for traffic control, environmental protection, and marine safety. The project includes provisions for single and full lane closures on the Warrenton-Astoria Highway (US101B), with work permitted during specific daily timeframes, Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

The special provisions outline detailed technical specifications for materials, coating, fasteners, and construction methods, with strict environmental and safety protocols. Load restrictions are specified, limiting construction vehicle weight to 45,000 pounds per 1,000 square feet of bridge surface area. The project requires comprehensive work containment plans, turbidity monitoring, and adherence to environmental protection guidelines, including restrictions on work in aquatic habitats and protection of marine species. Coating specifications are precise, calling for a four-coat system with specific performance characteristics, and the project includes provisions for soluble salt testing, surface preparation, and detailed reporting requirements. The document suggests a complex, environmentally sensitive bridge maintenance project with multiple technical and regulatory considerations.

Do not use lumber, pilings, or other wood products that are treated or preserved with pesticidal compounds below the ordinary high water (OHW) or as part of an in-water or over-water structure, except as described below:

• Store treated wood shipped to the Project out of contact with standing water and wet soil, and protected from precipitation.

• Visually inspect each load and piece of treated wood. Reject for use in or above aquatic environments if visible residues, bleeding of preservative, preservative-saturated sawdust, contaminated soil, or other matter is present.

• Use pre-fabrication to the extent feasible. When field fabrication is necessary, all cutting and drilling of treated wood, and field preservative treatment of wood exposed by cutting and drilling, shall occur above the OHW. Use tarps, plastic tubs, or similar devices to contain the bulk of any fabrication debris, and wipe off any excess field preservative.

• All treated wood structures, including pilings, shall have design features to avoid or minimize impacts and abrasion by livestock, pedestrians, vehicles, vessels, and floats.

• Treated wood may be used to construct a bridge, over-water structure or an in-water structure, with the exception of the work containment system, provided that all surfaces exposed to leaching by precipitation, overtopping waves, or submersion are coated with a water-proof seal or barrier are maintained. Apply and contain coatings and paint-on field treatment to prevent contamination. Surfaces that are not exposed to precipitation or wave attack, such as parts of a timber bridge completely covered by the bridge deck, are exempt from this requirement.

• During demolition of treated wood, ensure that no treated wood debris falls into the water. If treated wood debris does fall into the water, remove it immediately.

• Store removed treated wood debris in appropriate dry storage areas, at least 150 feet away from the regulated work area.

(6) Floating Structures - The following types of over-water or in-water structures are not allowed:

• boat house

• boat ramp made of asphalt

• buoy or float in an active anchorage or fleeting area

• covered moorage

• floating storage unit

• houseboat

• marine

• pier

• non-water related facilities (including staging areas) inside riparian management areas

• any other over-water structure more than 6-feet wide unless otherwise approved in writing by appropriate regulatory agencies through the Engineer

The following conditions apply to over-water or in-water structures:

• Concrete boat ramps that consist of pre-cast concrete slabs below the ordinary high water elevation, and higher elevation portions that are completed in the dry so that no wet concrete that has cured less than 24 hours is allowed to contact any wetland or waters of the State or waters of the U.S.

• Rock may be used to construct a boat ramp footing, or other protection necessary to prevent scouring, down-cutting, or failure of the boat ramp, provided that the rock does not extend further than 4 feet from the edge of the ramp in any direction.

• Any replacement roof, wall, or garage door for covered moorages and boat houses must be made of translucent materials or skylights. In addition, each side, except the door, of the boat house shall have windows at least 4 feet wide installed the length of the boat house, subject to breaks only for structural support.

• An existing marina may be modified within the existing footprint of the moorage, or in the water more than 50 feet from the shoreline and more than 20 feet deep, except do not place structures in areas that support aquatic vegetation or areas where boat operations may damage aquatic vegetation.

• Fit all pilings, mooring buoys, and navigational aids with devices to prevent perching by piscivorous birds.

• Permanently encapsulate all synthetic flotation material to prevent breakup into small pieces and dispersal in water.

• Install small temporary floats less than 7 Calendar Days before a scheduled event, remove them 5 Days after a scheduled event is concluded, and do not leave them in place longer than 21 Calendar Days.

• Install mooring buoys and temporary floats (for example: shellfish traps) more than 300 feet from native submerged aquatic vegetation, more than 50 feet from the shoreline, and in water deeper than 20 feet deep at all times, or as necessary to ensure that gear does not ground out unnecessarily, and boats do not prop wash the bottom.

• Prohibit barge use in the navigation channel, as shown on sheet J01 of the Plans.

When using a barge:

• Barge decks must be watertight.

• Connect modular barge systems structurally to produce a single, fixed deck.

• Fit barge deck perimeters with watertight curbing sufficient to contain materials on the barge deck. if scuppers are present, they will be plugged.

• The Agency will need to approve any barge being used.

• Before moving the barge to the Project Site, unless the barge is transported solely by water and entirely within the State, inspect the barge and ballast for invasive species to ensure that invasive species are not brought to the Project Site. Notify the Oregon State Marine Board if invasive species are found.

• Before moving the barge to the Project Site, clean and pressure wash the barge deck.

• Do not use impact hammers for spud placement.

• Install and maintain containment measures to prevent barge surface runoff from flushing oil, fuel, or other contaminants into the water.

• Secure all Equipment, portable toilet facilities, and containers with fuel, hazardous materials, or waste to the barge deck.

• If the barge is equipped with a toilet facility, pump it out into an approved waste removal system when work requiring a barge is complete, or as often as is necessary. Move temporary toilet facilities to shore before pumping them out.

• Equipment or fuels must have their own primary containment on the barge.

• If a fuel container is used on the barge, provide a double-walled fuel container and place an absorbent containment boom around the container when it is on the barge.

• Remove hand carried fuel containers from the barge at the end of each work shift unless containers are secured to the barge and stored within a secondary containment vessel of sufficient capacity to hold the entire volume of liquid available.

• Refill hand carried fuel containers within a secondary containment vessel of sufficient capacity to hold the entire volume of liquid available.

• Provide individual containment for each piece of Equipment on the barge, including containment pans or absorbent booms to locally contain minor spills.

• Remove waste material from the barge at least every 3 working Days and:

• Before any pause in work that is longer than 1 Day; or

• Before reaching the calculated safe load weight of the barge according to

Section 00253.

(7) Temporary Power, Communication and Water Lines - Before installing temporary power, communication, or water lines across streams or bodies of water, submit a proposed plan to the Engineer for approval. Do not begin installation before receiving approval from the Engineer. Proposed plans for installation of temporary power, communication, and water lines and stream crossings shall utilize the following design methods in the listed order of priority:

1. Aerial lines, including lines hung from existing bridges.

2. Directional drilling, boring and jacking that spans the channel migration zone and any associated wetland.

3. Trenching, which is restricted to intermittent streams and may only be used when the stream is naturally dry. For all sections of trenches below the ordinary high water line, backfill with native material and cap with clean gravel suitable for fish use in the project area.

Align each crossing as perpendicular to the watercourse as possible. For drilled, bored, or jacked crossings, ensure that the line is below the total scour prism. Return any large wood displaced by trenching or plowing as nearly as possible to its original position, or otherwise arranged to restore habitat functions.

(8) Injured Fish Notification - If a dead or injured fish is found in the project area, immediately notify the Agency. If the injured fish is in a location where further injury or stress may take place, attempt to move the fish to a safer location, if one is available, near the capture site while keeping the fish in the water and reducing its stress as much as possible. Do not disturb the fish after it has been moved. If the fish is dead or dies while being captured or moved, save the fish and any tags. The Agency will notify appropriate regulatory agencies about the injured or dead fish and provide additional direction to the Contractor.
