Executive Summary

ASI Marine L.P. (ASI) was subcontracted by Arcadis of New York (Arcadis), under project number 30001381, to conduct inspections of the upstream dam faces at the Old Forge and Sixth Lake Dams using remote inspection technologies.

Data collection was completed on the 24th of November 2020, using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) equipped with video and sonar technologies. Appendices 4 through 6 contain processed inspection data.

Before transport to site and entering the water, the ROV was put through ASI’s Mussel Mitigation Procedure (refer to Appendix 3). This process involved cooking the ROV in the head office for 2 hours at a minimum of 104 F. On site the ROV was sprayed down with a 200 parts per million (ppm) chlorine solution and allowed to sit for 30-minute contact time.

Additionally, the tether was sprayed with a 10,000 ppm chlorine solution before entering the water.

The inspection started at Old Forge Dam, starting with the southern intake racks. The south intake racks were noted to have a layer of marine growth and debris accumulated at the bottom. The north intake rack was in similar condition, with marine growth on the bars, though there was a larger amount of debris accumulated on bottom with a log wedged between the concrete bullnose and the north side of the racks. The racks were divided by a concrete bullnose which was noted to have some spalling just below water line.

The north wall of the intake structure was noted to have spalling and timbers exposed near the north intake racks. No large amounts of debris were noted in the surrounding area. South of the intake structure was the low-level inlet; the inlet was closed by a gate.

The gate guides were noted be corroded. The north guide was noted to be damaged near the water surface. A PVC pipe runs down next to the south gate guide then elbows out 90 degrees away from the wall and continues about 18 feet where it elbows 90 degrees upwards away from the ground and ends. A large log was found lying on top of the PVC pipe. The inspection to the north and south of the intake structure was limited due to it becoming too shallow for the ROV to navigate. However, inspection along the north side revealed minor cracking.

The ROV was recovered and moved to Sixth Lake Dam. Both the north and south intake racks were noted to have leaves built up on the bars and corrosion was observed throughout. No large debris was noted in front of the racks. The intake racks were divided by a concrete bullnose; the bullnose had spalling and exposed rebar. The north wall of the intake structure appeared clear of any spalling or cracking; however, the south wall had spalling in 3 locations with some exposed rebar noted at one of them.

The dam face had some minor surface spalling but no evidence of undercutting or large scours was noted. In front of the dam face, minor amounts of accumulated debris were noted. A concrete slab used for a buoy anchor was observed with a log adjacent to the slab. The wall just south of the dam face was concrete in construction, then transitions to a timber construction. Some timbers were noted to be deteriorating. Continuing further south, two docks were noted; the surrounding area appeared clear of any large debris.

Finally, about 20 feet away from the intake structure was an 8-foot by 8-foot timber crib.

The crib was full of rock and sediment. Several of the timbers appeared to be missing.

Old Forge and Sixth Lake – Old Forge, NY Inspection of Dams Using a Remotely Operated Vehicle Arcadis Project No. 30001381

Inspection Completed: 24 November 2020

1.0 INTRODUCTION

ASI Marine L.P. (ASI) was subcontracted by Arcadis, under project number 30001381, to conduct inspections of the upstream dam faces at the Old Forge and Sixth Lake Dams using remote inspection technologies. The scope of the inspections was to provide Arcadis with a general condition assessment of the areas of interest, taking note of any anomalies such as cracks, spalling, debris, etc. The Old Forge Dam is approximately 130 feet long and the total surface area to be inspected was approximately 4,200 square feet. The Sixth Lake Dam is approximately 160 feet long and the total surface area to be inspected was approximately 32,400 square feet.

2.0 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Remotely Operated Vehicle

Due to its capabilities and size, ASI Marine provided its MSS Defender ROV. This vehicle is ballasted to be neutrally buoyant in fresh water and uses seven electric thrusters to propel itself through the water. Four vectored thrusters are used for lateral movement and forward travel, making it capable of pulling long tether lengths; three vertical thrusters enable the vehicle to move vertically. This vehicle is also equipped with two dimmable LED lights to illuminate the area of inspection for the high-definition camera mounted on the front of the vehicle (refer to Figure 2).

Figure 2: MSS Defender in inspection configuration with camera and lighting

The system utilized a 1,000-foot umbilical cable. This umbilical houses signal and power conductors along with a Kevlar strength member and abrasion resistant protective jacket. The umbilical is neutrally buoyant in water to reduce drag and allow for further penetration distances.

An ROV pilot controls the vehicle’s movement, lighting, and camera position from the surface with the use of a hand-held control console.

The IP video signal is routed to the surface via the umbilical. The signal is then fed into a high-resolution monitor for the pilot to view, allowing real time viewing capabilities. The video signal is recorded onto a video recording computer and audio commentary is added to document points of interest and anomalies as they are seen during the inspection.

2.2 Multi-beam Imaging Sonar

A two-dimensional imaging sonar was integrated onto the MSS ROV. This sonar provided real-time plan view feedback directly ahead of the ROV, making it a highly effective navigation and obstacle-avoidance tool. The sonar also provides valuable feature detection capabilities for inspection (refer to Figure 3).

Figure 3: 2D Multibeam imaging sonar on ROV (representative image only)

3.0 INSPECTION PROCESS

3.1 Shop Preparations & Mobilization

ASI personnel assembled the equipment spread and ancillary tools at our shop prior to traveling to Old Forge, NY. All sonar and inspection equipment were integrated onto the ROV in a dry bench shop setting and were function tested. After passing dry tests, the ROV was wet tested in ASI’s test tank to ensure all components of the package functioned appropriately. Upon confirmation, the ROV was ballasted to be neutrally buoyant in fresh water.

The ROV was put through ASI’s Mussel Mitigation Procedure (refer to Appendix 3), including a hot water bath at a minimum temperature of 104ºF for two hours. The equipment was packed into a truck and trailer for operations. Two ASI personnel (Site Lead/ROV pilot, and tether tender) were assigned to site operations. They departed the head office on the 23rd of November 2020.

3.2 Site Operations

On the morning of the 24th of November, the ASI personnel met with one representative from Arcadis and one representative from Hudson River-Black River Regulatory District (HRBRRD) at the Old Forge Dam. The trailer was staged on the south side of the dam for ease of access to the designated launch location. A safety meeting was then conducted between the ASI personnel. The topside control station was assembled inside the trailer and the ROV and ancillary tools were connected. ASI’s standard pre-dive procedure was then performed to minimize risk of system failure and to ensure the system would perform as expected.

Before the ROV was powered on, visual and tactile inspections were completed to ensure all connection and mechanical hardware were secure. Power-up checks were then conducted on the ROV.

Figure 4: Topside control station inside the trailer

Spill containment was set up near the launch location and the ROV and tether were placed inside it. The ROV was disinfected following ASI’s Disinfection Procedure. The ROV was doused with a chlorine solution at 200 ppm and allowed to sit for 30 minutes. The tether was sprayed with a 10,000 ppm chlorine solution and wiped down for an instantaneous contact time immediately prior to entering the water.

Figure 5: ROV and tether going through disinfection procedure

While the ROV was disinfecting for 30 minutes, the representative from HRBRRD closed the gates on the Old Forge dam. Once the 30 minutes was complete, the ROV was lowered into the water at the south end of the upstream side of the dam. The ROV began the inspection with the trash racks, inspecting both the north and the south intakes. The pilot then proceeded to check for any large debris that may be in front of the intake area. The housing for the inducer for measuring water level was located and inspected, following it back to the low-level inlet. The low-level inlet was then inspected and the gate to the intake was closed. The ROV was unable to inspect further to the north or south of the intakes due to the shallow water level. The ROV was then recovered to the surface and the trailer was packed for transport to Sixth Lake Dam.

The trailer was staged on the north side of the Sixth Lake Dam and the topside console was re-assembled in the trailer. The ROV was then lowered into the water at the north end of the upstream side of the dam, with the inspection commencing at the intake structure, starting with the north intake racks and then proceeding to the south. The area in front of the intake was then inspected for any large debris. The north and south walls were inspected for any spalling or cracking. On completion of the intake structure, the ROV proceeded to the dam face, taking note of any spalling or debris in front of the dam. A small timber crib was located in front of the dam and intake structure. This small crib was inspected. The ROV was then flown to the far south side of the dam near the floating docks. The area was inspected for any large debris. The ROV was then recovered and the trailer was packed.

3.3 Demobilization & Reporting

At the end of the day, all data was backed up on an external hard drive for transport to ASI’s head office. ASI personnel began travel back on the 24th of November.

A review of the data collected during the inspection was completed at ASI’s office. The assembly of this report was then completed. The report includes equipment descriptions, documentation of methodology, inspection logs and data, and observations that were noted during the time of the inspection.

4.1 Old Forge Dam

Figure 6: Plan view drawing of Old Forge Dam with approximate location of intake racks and low-level gate.

The south intake rack was observed to be intact with no bent or missing bars. The bars were also noted to have a layer of marine growth (refer to left of Figure 7). A small amount of debris was noted near the bottom of the racks at about 6 feet below water surface (right Figure 7). The racks were measured to be approximately 4.6 feet wide.

Figure 7: Marine growth on south intake racks (Left); Debris on bottom of south intake rack (Right)

The north intake rack was observed to be intact with no bent or missing bars. The bars were also noted to have a layer of marine growth (refer to left of Figure 8). Larger amounts of debris were noted on the bottom of the racks with a log that appears wedged between the concrete bullnose and the north side racks located near the bottom at about 6 feet below water surface (right Figure 8). The racks were measured to be approximately 4.6 feet wide. The concrete bullnose divided the two intake racks and was noted to have some minor spalling on it at about

1.5 feet below water surface (Figure 9).

Figure 8: Marine growth on north intake racks (Left); Debris on bottom of north intake rack (Right)

Figure 9: Spalling on bullnose 1.5 feet below water surface

Directly in front of the intake racks was debris on bottom as noted previously (Refer to left of Figure 10). As the ROV moved away from the intake racks, the debris became less prominent and only smaller rock debris was noted (right Figure 10). While inspecting the north wall of the intake structure, some spalling and exposed timber was noted (Figure 11).

Figure 10: Debris in front of the intake racks (Left); Minor debris leading away from the racks (Right)

Figure 11: Spalling and exposed timber on the north wall of the intake structure

South of the intake structure was what appeared to be a low-level inlet. This inlet was noted to have a gate in front of it. The gate guides had some corrosion on them and damage on the north gate guide near the surface. The gate itself appeared intact with some debris and marine growth present.

Figure 12: Corrosion on the low-level inlet gate guides (Left); Damage to north gate guide (Right)

Figure 13: Low level inlet gate with marine growth

Just south of the low-level inlet was an elevation meter and a PVC pipe. The PVC pipe was the housing for the inducer that measured the water levels, it went all the way to bottom and had a 90-degree elbow that turned away from the wall and proceeded about 18 feet. Following the pipe, a log was found lying on top of it at approximately 14 feet away from the dam. It was uncertain if the log had caused any damage. The end of the pipe elbows up 90 degrees and is capped off, with the cap noted to have small holes in the top.

Figure 14: Log laying on the PVC pipe (Left); Elbow at the end of the pipe (Right)

Looking at the wall to the north of the intake structure, some minor cracking was observed near the surface. At this point it became too shallow for further inspection. On the north side of the intake structure, a vertical crack was observed (refer to Figure 15). Further investigation along the wall was prohibited due to limited water depth.

Figure 15: Cracking found on north side of the intake structure.

4.2 Sixth Lake Dam

Figure 16: Plan view drawing of Sixth Lake Dam with approximate location of intake racks.

The north intake rack was observed to be intact with no bent or missing bars. Some marine growth, leaves and corrosion were noted on the bars of the racks. No debris was noted in front of the racks. The north rack was measured to be approximately 5 feet wide.

Figure 17: Leaves on the north intake racks (Left); Corrosion on the North intake rack (Right)

The south intake rack was observed to be intact with no bent or missing bars. Some marine growth, leaves and corrosion were noted on the bars of the racks. No debris was noted in front of the racks. The south rack was measured to be approximately 5 feet wide.

Figure 18: Corrosion on the south intake racks (Left); Leaves on the south intake rack (Right)

A concrete bullnose divides the two trash racks. Some spalling was noted on the bullnose near the surface and continues to bottom. The spalling has exposed the structural rebar (refer to Figure 19).

Figure 19: Spalling with exposed rebar on the bullnose (Left); Spalling continuation (Right)

The north wall of the intake structure had no indication of spalling or cracking. However, the south wall of the intake structure had spalling in multiple locations. The first was right at the corner near the intake structure. This area of spalling had exposed rebar which was noted to be corroded. Following the wall east, another section of spalling was noted on the top of the wall as it sloped downwards. The final area was noted at the end of the wall where it sloped into the bottom (refer to Figure 20 and Figure 21 below).

Figure 20: First section of spalling on south wall (Left); Second section of spalling on south wall (Right)

Figure 21: Final section of spalling on south wall

Around the corner of the north wall was the elevation meter and a PVC pipe. The PVC pipe is the housing for the inducer that measures water level, it followed the wall down to bottom where it appears to be capped off.

Figure 22: Elevation meter on the north side (Left); Bottom of the PVC pipe (Right)

The dam face was noted to have some surface spalling, but no major material appears to be lost. In front of the dam was some rock debris and a log. Additionally a slab of concrete used for a buoy anchor was noted in front of the dam on the north side.

Figure 23: Spalling on the north side of dam face (Left); Spalling and rock debris on the south side of dam face (Right)

Figure 24: Concrete slab and log in front of the dam face

Following the wall south of the dam face, it was noted that some timbers were used to construct a portion of the wall. Sections of the timbers appeared to be deteriorating (refer to Figure 25).

Continuing further south, two docks were observed on the south side of the lake. 2D imaging sonar revealed no large debris in the area around the docks.

Figure 25: Transition from concrete to timbers (Left); Deteriorating timbers on the south wall (Right).

Figure 26: Dock located south of the dam.

A small timber crib was noted about 20 feet east from the south intake rack. The timber crib was approximately 8 x 8 feet. It was noted to be filled with debris and sediment. There were some missing planks noted with some exposed rebar as well.

5.0 CONCLUSION

The inspection of the Old Forge and Sixth Lake Dams took place on the 24th of November 2020.

Starting with the Old Forge Dam, some debris was noted in front of both the intake racks as well as marine growth on the bars. The low-level inlet was observed to the south of the intake racks and was closed with a gate. Some corrosion was noted on the gate guides and some damage on the north guide near the surface. The inducer for measuring water level was noted coming down from surface next to the low-level inlet where it makes a 90-degree bend and continues away from the dam for approximately 18 feet and elbows 90 degrees upwards where it is then capped off. Holes were noted in the cap.

After the inspection of Old Forge, all equipment was transported to Sixth Lake and staged on the north side. The intake racks appeared intact with no visible damage and no debris was built up in front of the racks. The racks were divided by a bullnose which had spalling and exposed rebar. The south wall of the intake structure had three locations of spalling noted. The dam face had minor surface spalling and minimal amounts of debris accumulated in front of it. A concrete slab for a buoy was observed in front of the dam. The south wall started its construction with concrete where it then transitions to a timber construction. Some of the timbers were observed to be deteriorating. Approximately 20 feet east of the south intake rack was a timber crib measuring approximately 8 X 8 feet. Some timbers were noted missing and the crib was observed to be filled with rock debris and sediment.

With adequate planning, ROVs can be useful to identify damaged areas, leaks, sediment and debris accumulation, and can complete accurate general condition assessments. These inspections can also be performed with very little risk to personnel or equipment, as well as with fewer limitations due to factors such as depth and shutdown times. This operation was completed using high-definition video, and real-time imaging sonar. Inspection operations were performed with minimal impact to dam operations and in accordance with ASI’s work plan, with a strong focus on safety, and were completed within the allotted timeframe.

ASI Mussel Mitigation Verifcation Report

ASI Mussel Mitigation Verification Report

ASI Marine Project: RU19-045 Procedure Conducted By: Nicholas Wittering, ROV Technician Procedure Conducted: 23 November 2020

Certification Statement

On 23 November 2020, ASI’s remotely operated vehicle (ROV), the Videoray MSS defender, and ancillary equipment (i.e. ballast, weights, sensors, etc) to be used for the RU19-045, were subjected to ASI’s ROV Mussel Mitigation Procedure. This procedure ensures 100% mortaility of mussels.

The entire process required approximately 4.5 hours: 1.5 hours to bring the water up to 104°F or higher, and approximately 2 hours to complete the soaking process. The ROV Technician conducting the soak monitored the temperature throughout the process to ensure it remained at least 104°F. The temperature was monitored and recorded using a temperature data logger that sampled temperature mid-depth in the tank and corresponding time, as well as with a handheld pyrometer that recorded water surface temperature at random times throughout the process.

Time ROV was put into hot water bath: Time 10:57 Temp: 116°F Time hot water bath was completed: Time 13:00 Temp: 112°F

In the following pages, ASI has provided time-stamped photography of the hot water bath procedure, verifying the temperature and time.

Old Forge Dam and Sixth Lake Dam Rehabilitation Contract D012025

Prospective Bidder Questions August 5, 2025

S:\Engineering\Black River Area\Construction and Rehabilitation\Old Forge\D012025 Old Forge Dam and Sixth Lake Dam Rehabilitation\Bid Documents\Addendum No 2\D012025 Response to Questions No 2.docx

Response to Questions Related to Both Construction Sites

Q. On S-02 there is a note that states that District/Architect/Engineer of Record shall pay for special inspectors/inspections. However, in spec section 01 45 29.13 it states Contractor shall employ the services of special inspectors. Please provide clarification.?

A. Contractor shall employ and provide the services of “special inspectors” material testing, or similar laboratories.

Q. 31 09 13 spec section 1.3 A states that all structures within 50 ft need to have seismographs installed, while 3.1 B of the same section lists 500 ft. Please provide clarification, as the number of structures that fall within 500 ft is substantially different than 50 ft.?

A. Specification 31 09 13, Section 3.1.B.1 is modified by Addendum No. 2.

Q. Are all buried electric and communication conduits to be constructed according to detail 4 on E-08, or will concrete encasement be required?

A. Buried electric and communication conduits shall be constructed according to Detail 4 on Drawings E-08.

Q. Do both sites have the ability for 120/240V, 3 phase, 4 wire for temporary services rated at 200 amps?

A. Contractor shall confirm the availability of electrical power at each site with the local electrical utility company.

Q. Is a 4/0 bare copper ground cable required in each duct bank run?

A. A 4/0 bare copper ground wire is not required in each duct bank run.

Q. Due to the complexity involved with the two contractor designed cofferdams, we request a bid extension until August 22nd?

A. The bid due date will not be extended.

Q. Can a 4 week extension be granted?

A. The bid due date will not be extended.

Q. Will a temporary log boom be required during phase 2 of construction at both sites?

A. A temporary log boom is not required during Phase 2. The final log boom shall be installed before requesting Department of Environmental Conservation acceptance of the work and requested permission to fill and prior to removal of Phase 2 cofferdam. Contractor may install the final log boom during installation of Phase 2 cofferdam.

Q. In Section I-9 (Subcontractors) of the Information for Bidders, it states: “Proposed Subcontractor shall submit to the Bidder, for submission by Bidder as part of its bid, similar evidence of qualifications, experience, personnel experience, insurance, and business financial information.” What constitutes evidence of qualifications for subcontractors? Could you clarify what you are looking for in terms of insurance documentation for subcontractors? Also, due to the confidential nature of a business’ financial statements, would it be okay to submit the subcontractors’ business financial information post bid if we are the low bidder?

A. Evidence of qualifications shall include a summary of similar work experience and similar jobs completed in the past five years. The requirements for Subcontractors’ proof of insurance are the same as the Contractor. Financial information is equally protected from, or subject to, Freedom of Information Laws (FOIL) regardless of whether it is submitted with a bid or after award, and therefore, shall be submitted with a bid.
