CAMERA INSPECTION SCOPE OF WORK

Tioga Dam, PA

Mansfield Levee, PA

SCOPE OF WORK

1. Overview

The work involves video inspection and some cleaning of the features at Tioga dam and Mansfield Levee owned by the Baltimore District US Army Corps of Engineers. The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment and supplies to complete the work stated in the Scope of Work (SOW).

2. Tioga Dam

2.1 General

Tioga-Hammond Lakes are located on the Tioga River and Crooked Creek in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, approximately 8 miles south of the Pennsylvania-New York State boundary. Tioga- Hammond Lakes have two separate dams, Tioga and Hammond dams, connected by a weir channel. The Tioga project site is located on the Tioga River about 1.7 miles upstream from its confluence with Crooked Creek (Latitude 41.898549, Longitude -77.13638). The project is owned, operated, and maintained by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District. The primary features of the Tioga dam include an earthen embankment, an outlet conduit with associated gate control tower and stilling basin, and a connecting weir channel between the two reservoirs. The left and right directional references made within this scope are in relation to facing the downstream side. Refer to figure 1 in appendix A for project location.

2.2 Features of Work

Three separate features of work at Tioga Dam are covered within this scope for performing the camera inspection and any associated cleaning as required. These three features of work are stated below along with their descriptions. Figure 2 in appendix A shows an aerial view of the general location for these features of work and more details are provided in the subsequent figures.

2.2.1 8-inch Tile Drain

Original construction drawing records show that an 8-inch diameter tile drain is located on each side of the Outlet Works Structure. The length of this tile drain is approximately 900 feet on each side. The exact alignment of the tile drain is unknown, but the estimated alignment is projected in figure 4 and figure 5 in appendix A. Outlet Works section views at different stations highlighting the tile drain are shown in figure 6 and figure 7 in appendix A. Based on the original construction specifications, the tile drain conforms to the requirements of ASTM Designation C4, Heavy-Duty Drain Tile. The tile drain is surrounded by processed gravel and select pervious material around

it. The tile drain was installed 2.5 feet above the finished channel grade or invert elevation of the conduit as shown in the tile drain details. The elevation of the tile drain varies with grade of the outlet channel, therefore bends are present within the tile drain. The camera shall be able to maneuver and travel the full length of the tile drain in the upstream direction.

It shall be noted that the exit location of the tile drain is not visible, and it may be located further downstream of the stilling basin walls. Section L/72 in Figure 6 and the plan view in Figure 5 show that an 8-inch diameter asbestos outlet pipe is connected to the tile drain for discharging the flow into the stilling basin. Contractor’s dive crew shall try to locate the exit location of the tile drain prior to the inspection, which may be submerged under water. If the exit location of the tile drain is not located, the camera shall be inserted from the 8-inch diameter asbestos outlet pipe located within the stilling basin. The camera shall be able to make the turn into the 8-inch tile drain given the bends shown on referenced drawing sheets and travel upstream for the full length of the 8-inch tile drain.

Contractor will be required to hire qualified dive crew for performing the camera work within the stilling basin and locating the exit location of the tile drain. All the requirements of Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirement Manual EM 385-1-1 must be met for the dive operations. For the camera works to take place from within the stilling basin, the flow of water will need to be shutoff for a very limited period of time for providing contractor access into the stilling basin. The flow of water will be shutoff for an hour and then released for a duration of time before the next shutoff period. The duration of release before the next shut-off period will be determined by the Baltimore District Water Management Section based on the existing weather conditions.

Contractor shall assume that duration of release before the next shut-off period can be between 1 to 4 hours. Contractor shall notify the Dam Operator a minimum of one week prior to any desired shut down of flows in the stilling basin.

2.2.2 Left Abutment Drain

A storm drain (BCCGMP) is located on the left abutment as shown in the plan and profile views in Figure 8 to Figure 11. The storm drain system collects surface run-offs and flows from the Treatment Plant/Chlorinator House and discharges into the outlet channel. The storm drain line from the Treatment Plant/Chlorinator House to the centerline of the main Tioga embankment is a 15-inch diameter pipe. From the centerline of the Tioga embankment to its discharge end into the outlet channel, the drain pipe diameter transitions to 24-inches. The total length of this drain line is approximately 2065 feet. The storm drain system consists of a series of manholes and inlets as shown in the referenced figures stated above. Refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 of Appendix A for manhole and inlet details, respectively. The entire length of the storm drainpipe from approximate Access Road station 89+50 to its discharge end into the outlet channel shall be video inspected.

All of the associated manholes and inlet structures present within this length shall be video inspected to document their conditions.

The storm drain pipe may have accumulated sediments and shale fragments coming from the adjacent hillside slopes. Contractor shall be required to flush the entire length of the storm drain line prior to the video camera inspection.

2.2.3 Right Abutment Drains

There are two separate drainage lines located at the right abutment. One of the drainage lines consists of a 36-inch diameter storm drainpipe, whose intake is located slightly downstream of the dam axis and the outlet is located several feet on the upstream right abutment. This drainage line is referred to as Right Abutment Upstream Drain within this Scope of Work. The length of the Right Abutment Upstream Drain line is approximately 1400 feet. Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 14 of Appendix A for plan and profile views of the Right Abutment Upstream Drain, respectively.

There is a metal grate present in front of the intake structure, which will require removal for the inspection. This grate will be difficult to remove and it is anticipated that excavation will be required to remove the boulders around the intake structure for grate removal. Contractor shall put the metal grate back in place after completion of the inspection. The invert elevation of drain pipe at its outlet end is at 1050 ft. The normal summer and winter pools at Tioga dams are 1081 feet and 1061 feet, respectively. Water is expected to be present within this pipe to its full depth up to a length where the water elevation in the pipe is equal to the lake elevation.

The second drainage line is for an underground drainage system, consisting of a 36-inch diameter perforated BCCGM pipe, surrounded by processed gravel. This drainage line is referred to as Right Abutment Downstream Drain within this Scope of Work. The length of the Right Abutment Downstream Drain line is approximately 1000 feet. The drain pipe within this line starts at manhole 1 and ties into the junction point at manhole 2. At manhole 2, there’s also a 24-inch perforated BCCGM pipe that enters into it from the US-15 Highway drain extension. Based on the distance from manhole 2 to US-15 Highway crossing, this distance is approximately 600 feet. Combined flow from manhole 2 is carried further downstream within the perforated pipe section and discharges from an outlet structure located near the downstream toe of the right abutment. Refer to Figure 3, Figure 15 through Figure 17 of Appendix A for plan, profile, and detail views of the underground drain and associated manholes, respectively. The two drainage lines shall be fully video inspected along with the 24-inch inch diameter perforated pipe coming from the US-15 Highway drain extension. The video inspection length for the 24-inch diameter pipe shall be up to the US-15 Highway crossing. Manhole 1 and manhole 2 shall be video inspected to document their conditions.

2.3 Site Access and Manholes Entrance

Site access to the manholes located on both left and right abutments are on steep slopes with vegetation. Contractor shall note that accessing the manholes for the purpose of camera inspection may require building temporary access routes. Contractor will be required to communicate with dam staff and provide the plans for the construction of these access routes for approval. The access routes can be left in place upon completion of work at the discretion of the dam staff. Contractor shall note the dimensions of the manholes provided in the reference sheets for complying with safety requirements such as confined space entry and fall protections. Refer to the Accident Prevention Plan under the Special Conditions section within this scope for further requirements.

3. Mansfield Levee Protective Works

3.1 General

The Borough of Mansfield is located at the head of the Tioga Reservoir on the right bank (east side) of the Tioga River approximately 10 miles upstream (southeast) from Tioga dam. US-15 Highway (trending north-south) and US-6 Highway (trending east-west) intersect in the business district Borough of Mansfield. Corey Creek, which is a significant westerly flowing tributary of Tioga River, passes through Mansfield and joins the Tioga River approximately 1,900 feet downstream from the US-6 Highway bridge over the river. Refer to Figure 1 Appendix B for location of the Mansfield Levee.

The Mansfield levee works project involves an 11,740 feet long earthen levee on the right (eastern) side of Tioga River and a below grade 3,000 ft long concrete conduit over Corey Creek.

Corey creek flows from the east to the west and empties into Tioga River. The conduit divides the earthen levee in two sections – an 8,240 feet long levee section upstream of the conduit extending from Levee Station 70+00 to 152+00 and another section that is downstream of the conduit.

Three drainage structures (DS 1, 2, and 3) and three pump stations (PS 1, 2 and 3) are present at the levee at various stations. Refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 in appendix B for location of pertinent features.

3.2 Features of Work

Mansfield Levee has utility lines for the toe-drain, storm drain, sanitary sewer, and water main present at the site. Several of the storm drains, sanitary sewer drains, and water mains belongs to the non- USACE entities such as the Borough of Mansfield. Some of these utility lines goes through the pump stations and drainage structures on site, which are described in the following sections. For the purpose of this scope, only the highlighted utility lines for the toe-drain, storm drain, and sanitary sewer drain shown in Figure 20 to Figure 27 and Figure 35 to Figure 36 of Appendix B shall be video inspected. Utility lines to be video inspected are also highlighted in profile and section views of the referenced figures. The features of work to be video inspected and cleaned are described in the subsequent section.

3.2.1 Toe-Drain

A toe-drain to discharge the seepage flow exists along the entire length of the landside toe of the levee, except in the vicinity of the U.S. Route 6 Bridge over the Tioga River (Station 91+00 to 96+00) and the upstream portion where Route 15 crosses the levee (Station 146+35 to 152+25).

The length of the toe- drain line is approximately 10,650 feet. The toe-drain system intercepts the seepage and carry the water to the pump stations from where it is discharged into the river. The toe-drain has an Asbestos-Treated bituminous Coated Corrugated Steel Pipe (ACCMP) that is perforated on its underside and varies in diameter from 12 to 21 inches and is laid within a 4-ft thick layer of processed pervious fill. A series of manholes are present at different locations along the length of the levee which ties the toe-drain system to the pumping stations and are used for inspection and maintenance of the toe-drain. The entire length of the toe-drain pipe shall be video inspected. All of the associated manholes with the toe-drain system shall be video inspected to document their conditions. The toe-drain and associated manholes may have accumulated sediments and sludge. The entire length of the toe-drain pipe and associated manholes shall be flushed prior to performing the video camera inspection. Contractor shall submit their plan for flushing the toe-drain and associated manholes for approval by the Geotechnical Branch.
