This Addendum No. 1 document pertains to Contract D012025 for the Old Forge Dam and Sixth Lake Dam Rehabilitation project issued by the Hudson River-Black River Regulating District (HRBRRD), a New York State agency. The addendum, issued on July 24, 2025, modifies the original invitation for bids and contract documents through a series of clarifications, interpretations, and specifications changes. Key modifications include updated language regarding Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) participation goals, corrections to section references, revisions to material and performance specifications including updates to cast-in-place concrete sections and addition of log boom specifications, modifications to contract drawings regarding trashrack designs and stoplog details, and responses to prospective bidder questions. The addendum incorporates multiple attachments including geotechnical data reports for both dam sites, seaplane dimension sketches, daily regulation data, spillway stability analysis, and revised technical specifications, all of which become part of the contract documents.

The addendum includes comprehensive geotechnical investigations conducted between July 2019 and June 2020 for both Old Forge Dam and Sixth Lake Dam, with boring logs, soil sampling results, rock core analyses, and piezometer installation details. The investigations revealed subsurface conditions including embankment materials composed primarily of gray silt sand, native materials of well-graded to silty sand with gravel, and underlying bedrock consisting of light gray to pink granite and granitic gneiss with varying degrees of horizontal and vertical fracturing. The concrete unconfined compression strength tests and particle size distribution analyses are documented in laboratory reports. The stability evaluation calculations for the concrete ogee section at Old Forge Dam under normal loading conditions indicate sliding and overturning factors of safety that require assessment against NYSDEC guidelines. The document establishes technical parameters and site-specific data necessary for bidders to develop accurate proposals for the dam rehabilitation work.

1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1.1 General

Arcadis of New York, Inc. (Arcadis) has prepared this Geotechnical Data Report for the Sixth Lake Dam to supplement the existing geotechnical information and fill information gaps identified as part of the initial data review for the site. This work was prepared in general accordance with our authorized scope of work under our

September 25, 2017 proposal and describes the findings of the geotechnical investigation. This Geotechnical

Report includes:

A summary of the site background, A description of the geotechnical investigation conducted between July 8, 2019, and July 10, 2019, The completed boring logs; and

The soil test results.

1.2 Background

The Sixth Lake Dam, owned and operated by Hudson River-Black River Regulatory District (HRBRRD), is located in the Town of Inlet, NY at the western edge of Sixth Lake, which is part of the Fulton Chain of Lakes and the middle branch of Moose River. Refer to Figure 1-1 for a location map of the dam. It was originally a timber crib and concrete structure built in 1904 with several upgrades and repairs over its lifespan. The current dam is an earth embankment structure with a gated spillway section. The spillway is an ogee shaped spillway with two low-level outlets which are controlled by sluice gates. It is currently classified as a Hazard Class C dam. A Class C dam is a high hazard dam, the failure of which may result in one or more of the following:

damage to homes, highways, industrial/commercial buildings, railroads, and/or utilities;

environmental damage or contamination;

loss of human life; and widespread economic loss.

2 SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION AND SITE

GEOLOGY

2.1 Geologic Setting

Sixth Lake Dam is located within the Central Highland portion of the Greenville Physiographic Province. The rocks that make up this area are Middle Proterozoic age, metamorphosed basement rocks that have been uplifted and had the overlying sedimentary rock eroded away. The region is characterized by long, straight valleys running in a roughly north-northeast direction, gently curved ridges and valleys, and radial drainage patterns. The bedrock has been folded and sheared and has an abundance of joints.

Sixth Lake Geotechnical Report.docx 2

The dam is located in a formation consisting of undivided metasedimentary and related rocks, such as gneiss.

Geologic mapping shows the dam situated in an area of Adirondack Till, which is sand rich and metamorphic in origin. The overburden soils have variable permeability, related to compaction, and a variable thickness depending on location, typically between 3 and 150 feet thick.

2.2 Subsurface Conditions

2.2.1 Geotechnical Investigation

Between 7/10/2019 and 7/17/2019, and again between 6/26/20 and /29/2020, Arcadis oversaw a geotechnical investigation that consisted of advancing geotechnical borings at eight locations, collecting rock cores, installing two piezometers, and collecting a concrete core at one location. The concrete core was designated as C-4. The borings were located at the locations shown in Figure 2-1. Aztech Technologies, Inc., (Aztech), based in Ballston

Spa, New York performed the geotechnical drilling services. Boring and core locations were established and staked out by Arcadis staff prior to the geotechnical investigation and the locations were surveyed following completion of the field work. An ATV-mounted drill rig was used to access the boring locations on and around the dam. The advancement and sampling of the borings and collection of concrete cores were performed by Aztech under continuous inspection of Arcadis. The representative on-site for Arcadis maintained written records of each boring and recorded the daily progress of all site activities. Final typed boring logs and laboratory test results are included in Appendices A and B of this report, respectively.

2.2.2 Borings

General

The locations where the soil borings were advanced and where the concrete cores collected are shown on Figure

2-1. The borings were designated as Borings B-1 though B-10 and the concrete cores was designated as C-4.

Split-spoon soil samples were recovered from each boring, along with rock core samples as noted in the boring logs until the target depth was reached.

Drilling Procedures

Borings were advanced using a GeoProbe 7822DT track-mounted combination direct-push drill rig. The drill rig was equipped with a 140-pound, hydraulically operated, automatic hammer. Steel, flush-jointed casing, 3.75-inch inner diameter, was used throughout the entire drilling program and a full head of water was maintained at the top of each borehole throughout the drilling and sampling activities. A tri-cone roller bit was used to clean out the inside of the casing prior to sampling. Data on the drilling procedures used at each boring location are included on the final boring logs.

Rock cores were collected using an NX-size, 5-foot-long double barrel core with a solid inner tube, and a diamond core bit. Once the borehole was cleaned of debris, the core barrel was lowered to the rock surface, the water circulation was begun, and the driller began the core barrel rotation. During the coring, the driller maintained uniform down pressure on the core barrel, while observing the rotation of the core barrel and return wash fluid from the boring. One-foot marks were made on the drill rod to provide reference points during the visual

Sixth Lake Geotechnical Report.docx 3 monitoring of the advancement of the core barrel into the bedrock. The core time necessary to advance the core barrel over the 5-foot run, was recorded and variations in coring difficulty during coring were noted. Down pressure on the core barrel was lessened when reductions in the rate of return water were noted and the cuttings were flushed until the return water cleared.

When advancement was halted due to excessive down pressure or lack of core advancement and plugging was suspected, the drill rod was removed from the borehole along with the core barrel, the core barrel was removed from the drill rod, the inner tube of the core barrel was removed, and the recovered rock sample was removed and logged. The core barrel was then reassembled and lower into the borehole and the remainder of the core completed. The recovered rock samples were placed in individual sections of a wooden core box and logged.

The end of the rock core was designated with a wooden block secured to the box and the lid secured in the closed position when transporting or handling the core box.

Concrete Core

The concrete core was collected using a concrete core drill, with a 5-1/2 inch diameter, diamond core barrel, fourteen inches in interior length. The core drill was powered using a portable electric generator, which was also used to power a sump pump, which supplied water to the core drill to cool the core barrel and flush the void space around the concrete core. The area to be cored, was wetted, which allowed the core drill’s suction pump better suction against the concrete and allow for down pressure to be applied for coring. The water flow was started prior to the start of coring to keep the bit cool and clean. At the completion of coring the completed core was removed from the location, marked with identification and orientation, and placed in a container for transportation back to Aztech’s lab for testing. The following tests were performed:

One (1) Unconfined Compression Strength Determinations in accordance with ASTM C-42.

The results of this tests can be found in Appendix B. The final laboratory test report for the tests performed by

Aztech was received by Arcadis on August 10, 2020.

Soil Sampling Procedures

Representative split-spoon soil samples were collected and the blow counts recorded in accordance with ASTM D

1586 to determine the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) resistance (N-value). The number of blows required to drive a standard 2-inch outside diameter (O.D.) split-spoon sampler with a 140-pound hammer falling freely 30-inches is recorded for each 6-inch increment of the length driven. The sum of the second and third increments is taken as the N-value blows per foot. In general split-spoon samples were taken continuously to refusal on bedrock. Sample jars were provided by Aztech and transported and stored at Aztech’s office in Schuylerville, New

York. Soil samples were field classified according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) using ASTM D

2487 and ASTM D 2488. Individual soil sample descriptions (based on both laboratory and field visual classifications) are provided on the final boring logs in Appendix A. Laboratory Test Results on representative soil samples, obtained during the geotechnical investigation, were selected for laboratory testing by Arcadis. The following tests were performed:

Fifteen (15) Moisture Content Determinations in accordance with ASTM D 2216 and

Fifteen (15) Grain Size Analyses (mechanical without hydrometer) in accordance with ASTM D 6913.

The results of these tests can be found in Appendix B. The final laboratory test report for the tests performed by

Aztech was received by Arcadis on August 10, 2020.

Sixth Lake Geotechnical Report.docx 4

Piezometers

Two new open standpipe-type piezometers were installed and are designated as Piezometers B-4 and B-5 at the approximate locations shown on Figure 2-1. Piezometer construction consisted of a 1.5-inch inside diameter

(I.D.) Schedule 80 PVC riser pipe, a 1.5-inch diameter by 5-foot long well screen, and a 1.5-inch diameter expandable plug cap. Each 5-foot piezometer screen section consists of 0.010-inch slotted PVC placed within a filter sand pack that started at the base of the screen and extended a minimum of 2-feet above the top elevation of the screen. Above the filter sand pack an approximately 2-foot thick layer of bentonite was placed as a seal and the remaining portion of the boring was backfilled with sand. At the ground surface, a 4-inch diameter, water-tight, PVC protective well enclosure, set in a concrete pad was constructed around each new piezometer. Record details of the new piezometers are presented in Appendix C.

Seepage Conditions

Sixth Lake Dam has had documented seepage discharge along the toe of the downstream embankment slope.

Previously dam safety inspections have observed seepage discharge at the toe of the embankment and adjacent to the left spillway training wall. During drilling at Boring B-4, recirculation water was lost, and turbid water was observed in the seep at the toe of the embankment and at the left spillway training wall, indicating hydraulic connectivity to the zone encountered during drilling. Portions of the toe areas are fully saturated due to discharge from the spillway bypass.

Standpipe piezometers installed at boring locations B-4 and B-5 are within the dam downstream embankment and at the toe, respectively. Piezometric levels measured between June 30, 2020 and January 28, 2021 were used to develop the phreatic surface range within the embankment throughout the year.

2.2.3 Generalized Stratigraphy

Arcadis reviewed the boring logs and geotechnical laboratory test results from geotechnical investigation and has made the following generalized interpretation of the soil stratigraphy. More detailed information is presented on the final typed boring logs and the laboratory test results in Appendices A and B, respectively.

Embankment – Based on the soil samples obtained from Borings B-2 and B-4, the Embankment is composed of materials generally described as follows: Gray Silt Sand, typically has a USCS Group Symbol of SM. The blow counts for this layer are consistent with a loose consistency. Some samples in this layer noted organics in the sample.

Dense Embankment - Based on the soil samples obtained from Borings B-2 and B-4, the Dense Embankment is composed of materials generally described as follows: Gray Silt Sand, typically has a USCS Group Symbol of

SM. Some samples in this layer noted organics in the sample. The blow counts for this layer are consistent with a dense consistency. In boring B-4 this layer was not consistently sampled due to difficulties advancing the drilling and sampling equipment.

Native Material - Based on the soil samples obtained from Borings B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-6, B-7, B-8, B-9, and B-

10. the Native Material is composed of materials generally described as follows: Brown or Gray, Well-Graded to

Silty Sand with or without gravel. which typically have USCS Group Symbols SW and SM respectively. The blow counts for this layer are consistent with a dense consistency.

Sixth Lake Geotechnical Report.docx 5

Glacial Till – Based on boring logs from Borings B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-9, and B-10, the Glacial Till generally consists of materials described as Well-Graded Sand with Gravel, which typically have USCS Group Symbols SW to SM. The Glacial Till grades gravel in many cases which instances of heavily weathered bedrock. This layer is very difficult to sample with refusal on the split spoon typically within the first interval, or having blow counts greater than 40 blows per six inches.

Bedrock - Based on the rock samples obtained from Borings B-3, B-4, B-5, B-8, and B-9, the underlying bedrock is a light gray to pink Granite with numerous horizontal fracturing.

in many cases the distinction between the soil layers is based on the soil consistency recorded by the recorded N-values taken during the Standard Penetration Testing performed during borehole advancement. The N-values corrected for overburden and hammer energy for the embankment soils were typically less than 50 indicating dense to very dense soil. The soil N-values for the native soil and glacial till typically started at 56 indicating very dense soil.
