1.0 INTRODUCTION
Tappan Zee Constructions, LLC (TZC) has prepared this Demolition Plan (Plan) Rev 6 to provide the
general approach and means and methods that will be utilized to demolish the existing Tappan Zee Bridge.
This Plan has been prepared specifically to meet the Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project (Project)
demolition requirements and environmental performance commitments (EPCs) provided in the Project DB
Contract Documents (Contract No. D214134) Part 3 Project Requirements, Section 3 Environmental
Compliance and Section 25 Demolition as Conformed November 2012.
1.1 Limits of Demolition
Demolition requirements are included in the Project’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS),
July 2012 and Record of Decision (ROD), September 2012 and Project permits, including:
• NYSDEC Permit ID 3-9903-00043/00012-14 modified July 2014;

• NFMS Endangered Species Act Section 7 Consultation Biological Opinion (BO) NER-2017-14375
dated November 1, 2017;
• United States Coast Guard (USCG) Permit dated April 2013;
• United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Permit Number NAN-2012-00090-M10; and
• NMFS Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Assessment Conservation Recommendations (CR) dated June
2012, Appendix F of the FEIS.
As required by the FEIS and Project permits, all parts of the existing Tappan Zee Bridge across the
Hudson River not utilized in the new bridge shall be removed to a minimum of two feet (2’) below the
river bottom, including:
• Removal of timber piles 2’ below river bottom;

• Removal of caisson-supported piers 2’ below river bottom; and
• Removal of fenders 2’ below river bottom.
1.2 Limit of Demolition for Bents 190 and 191
Bents 190 and 191 of the existing Bridge were constructed to the immediate west and east of the Metro
North Railroad (MNR) Right of Way (ROW), respectively. These bents are in close proximity to the
MNR track foundations and nearby slopes. Removal of the structures to 2’ below the river bottom may
result in destabilization of the tracks or slopes in the ROW.
TZC is proposing to keep the existing Tappan Zee Bridge Bents 191 and 190 to remain at or above grade
and top of caisson, respectively. Please see Attachment A for drawings of the proposed removal and
remaining elevations of these existing bridge bents. As described below, allowing these bridge structures
to remain will reduce in-water and landward excavation and demolition activities adjacent to the MNR
commuter railroad, thereby reducing potential impacts to railroad operations and near-shore areas without
adversely impacting other resources.

1.2.1 Existing Pier Locations and Conditions
Existing Bent 191 is located immediately east of the MNR ROW in Westchester County. This landside
bent consists of two (one north and one south) concrete spread footings founded on rock
approximately below existing grade. Each footing is approximately (L x W x H) and each
supports a single concrete pier column (one north and one south). The southernmost corner of
the south footing is approximately 23 feet east of the MNR Track 3 and is visible above the existing grade
(Attachment B: Figures #1 and #2). The northernmost corner of the south footing is not visible and is
approximately 10 feet below the existing steeply sloping grade. Removing the concrete columns and
footings of existing bridge Bent 191 below the existing ground line would require excavation and
demolition, most likely via hydraulic hammer (e.g., hoe ram) or similar impact equipment, below grade
and within very close proximity to the MNR tracks.
Existing Bent 190 is located immediately west of the MNR ROW in Westchester County. This waterside
bent consists of two (one north and one south) circular, steel sheet pile encased concrete caissons founded
on rock approximately below the riverbed. Each caisson is approximately feet in diameter
and each supports a single concrete pier column (one north and one south). The north caisson is
surrounded by a square-shaped sheet pile cofferdam. The top of the sheet pile is just visible above the
existing shoreline (Attachment B: Figures 2, 3, and 4). The eastern edge of the circular caisson and sheet
pile cofferdam is approximately 20 feet from MNR Track 4. The circular caisson is not visible and is
buried approximately
1-8 feet below the existing sloping shoreline. Demolition and removal of the north pier caisson would
require excavation of the existing shoreline to within approximately feet of MNR Track 4 or require
significant support of excavation (e.g., temporary sheeting) be installed between the MNR tracks and the
existing caisson.
The south caisson is located approximately 18 feet from the existing shoreline and 9 feet from Pier 42
Eastbound in water depths of 2-4 feet below mean low water (MLW). The top of the south caisson is
approximately 1-foot below mean high water (MHW) and remains partially submerged at MHW
(Attachment B: Figures 5 and 6). Removing the caisson two feet below the bottom of the existing
waterway would require demolition of the concrete caisson, most likely via hydraulic hammer (e.g.,
hoe ram) or similar impact equipment, and temporary disturbance of the river bottom immediately
surrounding the caisson to remove the outer steel sheet pile via cutting or hydraulic shears. The Project
FEIS determined sediments within the vicinity of Bent 190 demonstrated elevated levels of metals. The
proposed limits of demolition for Bent 190 would minimize disturbance of these sediments within the
Hudson River.
1.2.2 Proposed Pier Demolition
Bent 191 – TZC proposes to remove the existing north and south bent columns to grade via concrete wire
saw, hammer or shears and leave the footings in place, thereby avoiding additional excavation and
demolition below grade and in close proximity to the MNR tracks. See Attachment A for proposed
conditions following pier column demolition.
Bent 190 – TZC proposes to remove the existing north bent column to approximately elevation 4.00 to
allow for signage and marking for navigation, thereby avoiding additional excavation and demolition
below grade and in close proximity to the MNR tracks. See Attachment A for proposed conditions
following
column removal. Concrete wire saw or shears would be used to remove the concrete column. Similarly,
TZC proposes to remove the south bent column to elevation 4.00. The existing caisson and footing would
remain in place, thereby avoiding in-water demolition in this near-shore area. Concrete wire saw or shears
would be used to remove the concrete column.
As described above, Bent 190 is in close proximity to the MNR track structure and nearby slopes. Given
the proximity of the north caisson of Bent 190 from the edge of Track 4 of MNR, removal of the
structures to 2’ below river bottom will impose an unstable slope (1:1) extended from the limits of
removal to the edge of the existing railroad track. According to existing boring logs, the top strata consist
of very soft organic material with identified weight of rod properties. This material carries minimal to no
shear strength and the required excavation can cause major disturbance in the natural state of the existing
slope.
1.2.3 Assessment of Benefits and Potential Adverse Effects
Existing Bents 191 and 190 are located within NYSTA property and lands underwater, and their
respective footings are located under the new bridge structure, near new bridge Piers 42 and 43. Due to
their nature (i.e., existing footings mostly buried below existing grades), location and access restrictions,
transportation and ecological resources were evaluated to identify the benefits and potential adverse
effects of the proposed modification.
Transportation resources near Bents 191 and 190 are the Hudson River and MNR. MNR passes
immediately adjacent to both bents, within the existing MNR ROW. Bent 191 is located landward and
outside of the MNR ROW; therefore, leaving the pier footings in place at this location would have no
effect on future navigation of the Hudson River or MNR operations. Similarly, Bent 190 is located outside
of the MNR ROW; therefore, leaving the pier footing in place at this location would have no effect on
MNR operations.
The north and south foundation at Bent 190 is located along the existing Hudson River shoreline well
outside of the navigation channel or waterway used for navigation. The south caisson footing is located
approximately 18 feet from the existing shoreline in shallow water that is well outside of the navigation
channel and is not used for navigation purposes. TZC proposes to clearly mark the remaining footing
using signage or similar to minimize any hazard to navigation. Given the close proximity of the existing
foundations to the new bridge pier foundations, navigation through the area would be subject to security
and other restrictions; therefore leaving the Bent 190 foundation in place would not adversely impact
navigation or transportation resources of the Hudson River.
There are no ecological resources identified near existing Bent 191, which is located immediately east of
the MNR in a maintained and unvegetated ROW. Ecological resources near Bent 190 are the aquatic
resources, including threatened and endangered species, and habitat of the Hudson River. Near Bent 190
the aquatic habitat is predominately intertidal and subtidal habitats of varying depths, ranging from
shallow intertidal shorelines to shallow subtidal shoals. The benthic habitat is unvegetated consisting
of coarse sandy to fine silty sediments.
NMFS identified this region of the Hudson as EFH for 16 federally managed species; and identified two
federally endangered fish species that occur in this region of the Hudson River, the shortnose sturgeon
(Acipenser brevirostrum) and the Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus). NMFS identified several EFH
Conservation Recommendations to avoid, minimize and mitigate for Project impacts pursuant to Section
305(b)(4)(A) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA), and provided
several Conservation Recommendations pursuant to Section 7(a)(1) of the Endangered Species Act (ESA),
as well as reasonable and prudent measures (RPMs) to minimize and monitor impacts of incidental take of
listed shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon.
Prior environmental assessments, including the FEIS and ROD, recognized the benefit of removing the
existing waterside bridge piers to offset the footprint of the new bridge pier foundations. At existing Bent
190, the south bent foundation occupies approximately of open water benthic habitat; the
north bent foundation and rectangular cofferdam occupies approximately of intertidal
and open water benthic habitat. The total in-water footprint of the new bridge is approximately acres
(NYSTA December 17, 2012 Supplement to the March 26, 2012 Joint Permit Application), well below the
alternative replacement bridge footprints assessed in the FEIS and ROD (6.5 and 8 acres for the Long
Span and Short Span Options, respectively), resulting in a net gain of open water benthic habitat of 2.4
acres following demolition of the existing bridge. Leaving the Bent 190 foundations in place would
diminish this net gain by less than 2% while decreasing the disturbance of impacted sediments in the area.
Given the relatively small size of the Bent 190 foundation footprint as compared to the available
soft-sediment benthic habitat in the Tappan Zee region (RMs 24-33), leaving the foundations in place
would result in an extremely small loss of soft-bottom benthic or foraging habitat for sturgeon. Sturgeon
are only likely to be present in the shallow waters along the shoreline if suitable forage is present.
Therefore effects to sturgeon are likely to be limited, insignificant and discountable.
FEIS EPCs, NMFS conservation recommendations, and environmental permits, including the NYSDEC
Permit 3-9903-0043 and USACE Permit NAN-2012-00090, recognized the benefit of minimizing the
disturbance of bottom sediment to minimize potential impacts to aquatic resources. Leaving the Bent
190 column foundations in place would avoid disturbing the Hudson River bottom in the near shoreline
intertidal and subtidal habitat.
2.0 EXISTING STRUCTURE
2.1 Area Map General
Beginning in Rockland and working east, the existing structure has been divided into six (6) distinct
Demolition Areas (see Attachment C) based on structure type, location and interaction with the
completion of the permanent structure. Areas 1 and 6 are unique due to the coordination necessary to
complete the new structure and because they each have a land and marine portion. The Demolition Areas
are as follows:
• Area 1 A/B: Rockland Tie-in

• Area 2: Rockland Approach
• Area 3: Rockland Truss
• Area 4: Main Span
• Area 5: Westchester Truss
• Area 6 A/B: Westchester Tie-in
Attachment D provides bridge structure definitions for each of the Demolition Areas.
2.2 Area 1: Rockland Tie-in
The Rockland Tie-in Area is comprised of the on land existing structure terminating at the Rockland
Abutment. This is designated at Area 1A, and includes Span 1 over River Road. The marine portion, Area
1B, transitions at Bent 3 and continues thru Pier 30. It shares a partial footprint with the permanent
approach spans (Unit 1EB and 2EB). Furthermore, this section of existing structure is bordered to the
north by the new bridge and shallow water to the south.
2.3 Area 2: Rockland Approach
The Rockland Approach (Piers 31 through 165) consists of the long causeway between the Rockland Tie-
in and Rockland Truss sections. This is the largest section by linear footage, and consists of existing
structure similar to that described in Area 1. Areas 1 and 2 have been divided due to the construction
coordination necessary to perform permanent new bridge work in Area 1. Due to this delineation, work in
Area 2 can commence at the beginning of the demolition work window. Area 2 is confined to the north by
the new structure with decreasing access from Bents 50 to 30.
2.4 Area 3: Rockland Truss
Working east from Rockland County, the first underdeck spans begin in the Rockland Truss section.
Transitioning from the causeway spans, Area 3 begins at Bent 166 and ends at Bent 172. The
spans in this section are typical and consist of a steel truss supporting the precast concrete
panel road surface. The concrete substructure found in Area 3 can also be considered typical at each bent.
An upper, solid concrete strut connecting two (2) hollow concrete columns can be found at each location.
The top elevation of each bent will vary slightly, and will contribute to the total volume of column
concrete. Both circular and rectangular caissons are found in this area.
2.5 Area 4: Main Span
The Main Span (Piers 173, 175, 176, and 178) is a unique structure over the navigable channel. This area
is dominated by the steel superstructure cantilever through truss, which is divided into Anchor, Cantilever
and Suspended spans. The superstructure supports the precast concrete panel wearing surface, which is a
similar design found in Areas 1 – 3. The substructure in this section is unique to this area. Each bent in
this area is steel lattice members making up the columns and top strut. The top elevation of each bent
varies slightly, and the structure can be considered symmetrical about the centerline of span. The
foundations in Area 4 are similar to the rectangular caissons found in Area 3. Specifically, the foundations
at Bents 175 and 176 are significantly larger than the anchor bents.
2.6 Area 5: East Deck Truss
Area 5 (Piers 179 through 184) shares many structural details with Area 3. Both sections consist of steel
underdeck trusses, supported on concrete struts and columns. Similarly, the bents in the Area consist of
circular caissons. Due to the horizontal curve of this Area, the span lengths vary. This determines the
specific length of the underdeck section. The Exodermic Deck specifics in this Area are similar to those
found in Area 6, and substantially different to the deck details in Areas 1 – 4.
2.7 Area 6: Westchester Tie-in
Area 6 (Piers 185 through 191) represents the tie-in portion to the Westchester Landing. Similar to Area 1,
this section is both divided into water (6A) and land portions (6B), as well as coordinated with the final
work (Unit 9EB) of the permanent new bridge. Area 6A is structurally identical to Area 5, sharing features
for deck, superstructure truss, concrete substructure and foundations.
3.0 SCHEDULE AND SEQUENCING OF WORK
3.1 Sequence General and Milestones
Provided in Attachment E is an overview of the major work areas and anticipated schedule for demolition
activities. The schedule information provided is based upon the most up to date Project schedule.
Demolition operations began in August 2017. Deck removal operations in Areas 2, 4, and 6 began in
October 2017 after all traffic was shifted to the new structure. As each section is completed, the associated
substructure work will commence. The foundation work will be the last work performed in each Area.
4.0 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
As further described below, demolition of the existing bridge will be conducted in accordance with the
Project’s requirements in the FEIS, ROD and Project permits (Refer to Section 1.1 for a list of applicable
permits). Specifically, means and methods proposed demonstrate conformity with the NYSDEC Permit ID
3-9903-00043/00012-14 Conditions 45-51, 54-55, 57, and 59 as further described below.
Condition 46: Bridge demolition must be conducted in a manner that minimizes the resuspension of
sediment.
TZC has planned for demolition to be performed in a manner consistent with the means and methods
described in the FEIS. During substructure and superstructure removal, the proposed demolition takes
advantage of the large equipment available to TZC, allowing large pieces of the structure to be cut and
removed to the extent possible, rather than demolishing the structures in-place. During foundation
removal, full depth turbidity curtains will be employed in Areas 1 and 6 to minimize sediment
resuspension. In addition, the rectangular caisson removal will start from the inside out, allowing
concrete material to stay within to the interior of the structure during the onset of removal. Every
effort will be made to ensure that demolition debris is confined to the location of foundation removal
during demolition and removal. Where applicable, side scan sonar will be used to identify all material
to be removed from the River during demolition. Once identified, this material will be recovered.
For more information about Best Management Practices (BMPs) to be employed during Mechanical
Foundation Demolition, please refer to Attachment J of this plan.
Condition 47: All debris and materials from the demolition of the existing Tappan Zee Bridge must be
removed from the bed and banks of the Hudson River.
TZC will perform a pre-demolition bathymetric survey from the Westchester shore to the Rockland
shore and between 700 feet north and south of existing bridge centerline to establish pre-demolition
baseline conditions. Periodic side scan sonar surveys will be conducted to identify debris that may
have entered the River with the potential to affect navigation.
A post-demolition bathymetric survey will be conducted and compared to the pre-demolition

bathymetric survey to verify no debris is present. As depicted in Attachment F, a barge mounted
excavator or crane with clam bucket attachment, material grapple or bucket will be used to remove the
demolition debris. Demolition debris will be bucketed to adjacent debris barges for off-site disposal.
An additional bathymetric survey will be conducted in areas that have received debris recovery after
the post-demolition bathymetric survey to verify all debris capable of being identified by the
bathymetric survey has been removed from the river bed.
The proposed demolition means and methods have the potential to produce debris from hoe ramming,
shearing, wire sawing and drilling. Debris size will vary and is described below:
• Hoe ramming operations may generate debris ranging from dust/granular aggregates to pieces
equal or larger than the smallest dimension of the structure being demolished. For example, a
two foot by two foot column may generate debris two foot in diameter. Solid circular caisson
may generate large debris pieces that could be over 6 feet in diameter.
• Shearing operations may generate debris ranging from dust/granular aggregates to pieces
equal or less than the smallest dimension of the structure being demolished. For example, a
two foot by two foot column may generate debris up two foot in diameter.
• Wire sawing operations will generate fines and may generate spalls around the size of a fist.
• Drilling operations will generate dust/granular aggregates.
Demolition debris will be removed from the river bottom prior to the completion of demolition
activities.
Condition 48: Piles, caissons, abutments, fenders and other in-water components of the existing Tappan
Zee Bridge must be removed to two feet below the mud line. Silt curtains must be deployed during this
operation.
In-water components will be removed to the NYSDEC required demolition limits, provided in
Attachment K. Full depth turbidity curtains will be used in Areas 1 and 6 during foundation removal
(refer to Attachment G). Turbidity curtains, 5-feet deep and anchored to the river bottom, will be
employed in Areas 2, 3, 4, and 5 to contain debris and reduce turbidity.
In order to access the foundations to the NYSDEC required demolition limit, sediment would be
displaced around the foundations. The proposed displacement would result in a trench of
approximately two-feet deep and three-feet wide surrounding the pier. Sediment would be displaced
from the area surrounding the pier to the edge of the disturbed area in a small mound. This sediment is
anticipated to cover approximately three-feet of previously uncovered benthic habitat surrounding the
pier. The total surface area of the benthic area disturbed and the volume of sediment displaced are
summarized in Table 1 for the Demolition Areas.
Table 1 – Surface Area and Volume of Disturbed Sediments

Surface Area Volume
Demolition Area
Acre (CY)
3 – Rockland Truss: Bents 166 – 172 1.2 880
4 – Main Span: Bents 173 – 178 1.0 800
5 – Westchester Truss: Bents 179 – 186 1.0 700
6 – Westchester Tie-in: Bents 187 – 190 0.4 400
Total 3.6 2,780
Displacement of benthic sediments, as described above, is necessary to achieve removal of the TZB in
accordance with the contract and Project permits. The foundation types, including the circular
caissons and the floating caissons require external access in order to perform the necessary work. For
example, the metal sheet piles wrapping the circular caissons would be cut using a shear or diver
which would be accessed from outside of the footprint of the pier. Sediment displacement would
allow access to these components of the existing bridge to the NYSDEC required demolition limit
with minimal sediment disturbance.
In order to minimize sediment resuspension, an open excavator bucket would be utilized to pull back
sediment around the foundations rather than lifting sediment up into the water column. This method
could result in isolated resuspension of benthic sediments. Hand jetting may be used to expose steel
sheet and pipe pile to facilitate cutting by divers. The hand jetting method will use either pressurized
air or water in order to displace the sediment to reach the necessary elevations.
Extensive water quality monitoring during the Project has demonstrated that resuspension of bottom
sediments associated with activities such as dredging and pile driving infrequently resulted in
exceedances of the Project’s NYSDEC Permit conditions. Furthermore, any observed exceedances
were also typically temporary in nature.
Condition 49: A floating containment booms and/or silt curtains must be deployed around all active
substructure demolition areas to control and contain debris and discharges to meet water quality standards.
TZC will utilize means and methods that will minimize the likelihood of debris entering the River.
Specifically, TZC intends to remove substructure in large modular components minimizing potential
for generation of small pieces of debris at risk of falling into the River. Visual observations of
activities will be conducted by a barge-based or vessel-based observer during demolition activities
as required
per the Water Quality Monitoring Plan. If turbidity is observed that extends beyond the 500-ft mixing
zone, corrective actions will be implemented to comply with water quality standards.
Condition 50: A debris containment net must be deployed and maintained at all times during demolition
of the bridge deck and superstructure.
TZC will remove the existing Tappan Zee Bridge deck and superstructure in modular components,
minimizing risk of debris generation during superstructure removal operations. TZC will utilize access
systems during the superstructure removal stage to provide access for workers to separate deck panels,
stringer beams and diaphragms from the supporting bridge structure. These access systems serve dual
purpose by providing debris containment for anchor bolt, stringer beam and diaphragm separation for
deck removal operations. Deck preparation in Areas 2, 3, 5 and 6 will occur while over debris
containment. Deck rigging and removal in Areas 2, 3, 5, and 6 may occur without debris containment.
Area 4 deck preparation and deck removal will occur over debris containment. These areas are further
described below. Containment measures are detailed in Attachment H.
Rockland Causeway (Areas 1 and 2):

Superstructure consists of a composite deck/superstructure element made up of deck panels precast
integrally over bridge beams. Panels/beams sit directly on top of the bridge column/caps and will be
removed in modular pieces by crane in the following steps:
• Separate panels with top side deck saws. Vacuums will be used to control water generated during the
operation.
• Deck Preparation - Drill out lifting holes/attach lifting lugs at corner points of panel. Cut bolt
connecting panel to pier cap.
• Rig and lift panel off pier, set onto barge.
Truss Spans (Areas 3, 5, and 6):

Superstructure consists of simple span truss elements with precast deck panels secured on top framing of
truss. Deck removal will be similar to the Rockland Causeway described above, removing enough deck to
rig and lift the entire truss span in the following steps:
operation.
connecting panel to truss.
• Rig and lift panel off truss, set onto barge.
• Install lifting lug on truss at four points.
• Rig truss with Barge Mounted Derrick Crane.
• Lift truss off piers, set onto barge.
Main Span (Area 4)
Superstructure consists of a suspended, cantilever and anchor truss elements with precast deck panels
secured on floor beam framing of truss. Deck removal will be similar to the Rockland Causeway described
above, removing deck prior to truss removal.
operation.
connecting panel to truss.
• Rig and lift panel off truss, set onto barge.
• Install falsework, access, and strand jacking equipment
• Lower with strand jacks to barges. Truss removal and lowering is not anticipated to produce debris as
it is a large modular component. In the event debris were to be produced, the truss sections are
lowered onto barges, which would provide debris containment.
Rigging and lifting of deck panels from the above described structures to barges is not anticipated to
produce debris. In the event debris is generated during the lifting operation, the method will be reevaluated
and updated to address the conditions of the operation.
Condition 51: Blasting for bridge demolition is prohibited.
Blasting is not being proposed for demolition of the existing Tappan Zee Bridge.
Condition 54: Within 60 days of completion of bridge demolition, a hydrographic survey of the river
bottom beneath the footprint of the demolished bridge must be submitted to the Department. For
comparison purposes a pre-demolition survey must be provided with the post-construction survey.
TZC will conduct a pre- and post-bathymetric survey of the riverbed from Westchester shore to
Rockland shore and between 700 feet north and south of the existing bridge centerline within 60 days
of completion of Bridge demolition. The bathymetric survey will be conducted on a 10ft grid and
referenced to the North American Vertical Datum (NAVD88).
Condition 55: The Permittee must minimize disturbance to Peregrine Falcons during all phases of the
bridge replacement project. All activities must maintain the maximum distance from the peregrine falcon
nest on the existing bridge as practical. No less than 30 days before starting the Authorize Activity the
Permittee must submit a plan for protection of the falcon nest to the department
A Peregrine Falcon Protection Plan has been prepared for the Project which describes demolition
activities. TZC will schedule coordination meetings with the NYSDEC two (2) months prior to
demolition on the existing Main Span to discuss issues related to the falcon nest. TZC will provide
necessary cooperation and access to the NYSDEC to facilitate the evaluation of the peregrine falcons
nesting activity during each year of demolition to determine if a pair is active on the territory, are
nesting and the success of that nest.
Condition 57: The Permittee must evaluate Peregrine Falcon nesting activity during each year of
construction and demolition to determine if a pair is active on the territory, are nesting, and the success of
that nest. Any reports of impacts to the nest should be reported to the wildlife manager at the NYSDEC
Region 3 Headquarters in New Paltz, NY.
A Peregrine Falcon Protection Plan has been prepared for the Project which describes demolition
activities. TZC will provide necessary cooperation and access to the NYSDEC to facilitate the
evaluation of the peregrine falcons nesting activity during each year of demolition to determine if a
pair is active on the territory, are nesting and the success of that nest. Any reports of impact to the nest
will be reported according to the approved Plan.
Condition 59: At least 45 days before starting dredging activities; decanting activities; removal of large
debris fields; pile driving in zone C; channel armoring; cofferdam construction; removal of the existing
bridge; or any other activity that may cause resuspension of the bottom sediments, Permittee must submit
a water quality monitoring plan to the department. If activities occur concurrently in multiple locations,
each activity that may cause resuspension of bottom sediments must be monitored separately. The Plan
must be in effect at all times during these activities. The above activities may start when the Department
has given written approval of the plan.
Water Quality Monitoring Plan (WQMP) Rev10 was submitted to and approved by the NYSDEC in
May 2018. As required, the WQMP will be updated to reflect conditions that may change as
demolition progresses.
5.0 REMOVAL OF DECK SUPERSTRUCTURE
5.1 Superstructure Deck General
The existing deck consists of three (3) structural types; Precast, Exodermic and Cast in Place. The Precast
deck variety accounts for the majority of the existing span and can be found in Areas 1 – 4. Areas 5 and
6A, to include Span 191, represent the locations of the Exodermic Deck. Finally, the Area 6B Tie-in on
land is constructed with a Cast in Place deck system. Each type will be removed similarly, saw cut from
the supporting structure and lofted free. The unique details, and necessary steps to free the deck, will be
described in this section. As these activities will require the cutting and removal of steel members,
adherence to the OSHA Lead Exposure requirements for personnel protection and monitoring, OSHA
1926.62(d)(2)(iv), will be necessary. In addition to the wearing surface itself, this section outlines the
necessary components to be removed prior to the deck activities. Contractual requirements for NYSTA
Salvageable components will dictate individual bridge components to be removed and stored at NYSTA
locations. Once panel sections are free from the structure, they will be landed on trailers or barges for
processing.
5.2 Deck Miscellaneous Sections
In addition to the deck itself, there exists miscellaneous items that will be disconnected and removed from
the structure. As mentioned above, contractual requirements for NYSTA Salvageable components will
dictate individual bridge components to be removed and stored at NYSTA locations. Utilities will be
decommissioned prior to the start of all demolition activities. Outside of the bridge demolition footprint
the utility source will be de-energized, locked and tagged per approved Project plans. This will allow the
safe demolition and removal of all light poles, sign structures, conduit and bridge lighting. Bridge barriers
will also be removed at this time. Side and mobile barriers can be removed prior to saw cutting panel
joints. Barrier sections will be rigged and disconnected from the concrete deck. These sections will be
loaded on trailers and later, transferred to barges.
5.3 Precast Panels
Precast panels are found in Areas 1 – 4. The panels in Areas 1 and 2 are in length and in
weight. Panels in Area 3 are approximately in length and in weight. The precast panel
stringers are connected to the main floor beam truss members, in addition to the panel to panel diaphragm
channel connections. At approximately , the Area 4 Main Span panels are longer and heavier than
the Area 3 panels. These panels average and are supported at each end at the floor beam members.
The bolted seat connection and the diaphragm connections require under deck access to facilitate full
panel removal.
5.3.1 Demo sequence Areas 2 and 3
The typical sequence of work is outlined in the steps below:
1. Working underneath the deck, torch cut the diaphragms connecting the individual panels and the
anchor bolts tying the panels to the substructure.
2. Separate the panels along the transverse and parallel joints with concrete deck saws. Open lifting
holes with drills.
3. Rig and loft panels onto deck barges for off-site disposal.
5.3.2 Demo Sequence Area 4
1. Assemble and install underdeck debris and access shielding.

2. Access the precast panels from the underdeck shielding and torch cut diaphragms and anchor bolts
from main floor beams.
3. Separate the panels along the transverse and parallel joints with concrete deck saws. Open lifting
holes with drills.
5.4 Exodermic Panels
The Exodermic Deck sections in Areas 5 and 6 have a variable width depending on lane location. Between
Bents 178 and 190, the typical Exodermic Deck Panels are in length, with main bearing bars
running
the width (transverse to traffic) and distribution bars fabricated perpendicular. The steel grid is topped
(precast) with concrete and paved with a -inch asphalt wearing surface.

1. Saw cut exodermic deck into panels.

2. Install lifting lugs to the panels utilizing drop in anchors.
6.0 REMOVAL OF STEEL SUPERSTRUCTURE
6.1 Superstructure Steel General
Existing steel superstructure includes the Main Span Truss and the Approach Underdeck Trusses in Areas
3 through 6. The removal of steel structural members will require adherence to the OSHA Lead Exposure
requirements for personnel protection and monitoring, OSHA 1926.62(d)(2)(iv). The dismantling will be
performed by removing large sections of existing truss, lowering to barges for off-site disposal. This will
be utilized for all twenty (20) underdeck trusses, as well as the two (2) approach and one (1) suspended
Main Spans. Only the cantilevered portions of the Main Span will be removed incrementally.
6.2 Underdeck Truss Removal Sequence
1. Install lifting lugs at lifting points.

2. Position Left Coast Lifter (LCL) at confirmed radius of pick.
3. Lift truss and place on barge for off-site disposal.

Timber Pile Removal

Typical Timber Dolphin Removal Sequence
The steel wires that lash the dolphins together are first removed. Then an excavator with a bucket and
thumb is used to remove the concrete cap on top of the piles. This cap is able to be removed in a single
piece. Once the wires and cap have been removed, a turbidity curtain, as described below, is deployed
around the timber dolphin as appropriate, based upon the Area in which the work is being performed. A
wire sling is secured around one or more piles, and the excavator is used to pull them from the river
bottom. Once removed, to the maximum extent practicable the piles are allowed to drain above the water
and within the turbidity curtain before being swung onto an adjacent barge. Once removal of piles is
completed, a perforated excavator bucket is used to remove smaller pieces of debris that have collected
within the turbidity curtain.
Environmental Controls
The following provides a description of the controls utilized for the removal of timber piles during
demolition of the existing Tappan Zee Bridge:
• Prior to timber pile removal, a turbidity curtain will be deployed around the work area. Full depth
curtain will be utilized in Area 1, and 5-foot curtain will be utilized in Areas 2, 3, 4 and 5. Area 6
does not contain timber pile.
• Absorbent boom will be placed within the turbidity curtain prior to timber pile removal. Once the
absorbent boom is saturated, it will be removed and immediately replaced as needed.
• In the event a sheen is observed outside the curtain, absorbent boom and/or additional measures
will be used to contain and absorb the sheen. Clean up will continue until the sheen is contained
and cleared up in its entirety. In addition, the turbidity curtain will be examined for breaches. Any
identified breaches in the curtain will be immediately repaired.
• Prior to opening the turbidity curtain, absorbent material will be removed and placed in
containers for off-site disposal. Prior to disposal at an appropriately permitted facility, the
containers will be stored on site. At this time, TZC has not yet contracted for the disposal of the
drums containing the absorbent boom. The appropriate documentation will be provided to
NYSTA when disposal is completed. In addition, an excavator with a perforated bucket will be
used to capture timber pieces and smaller debris that may have broken off during removal
operations. Those pieces will be loaded onto barges for off-site disposal. Timber pile is disposed
of at the Port of Coeymans.
• Barges used for loading timber piles will have sealed curbing placed around them to contain water
and/or creosote that may accumulate on the barge during transport and off-loading. Should water
accumulate on the barge, absorbent boom will be placed within the contained area on the barge to
capture sheen and/or constituents that may leach from the timber piles. Water that accumulates
and does not evaporate prior to transport or prior to an impending precipitation event with the
potential to over top the curbing will be placed into a container for off-site disposal. Prior to
disposal at an appropriately permitted facility, the containers will be stored on site. At this
Timber Pile Removal - 1

time, TZC has not yet contracted for the disposal of the water. The appropriate documentation
will be provided to NYSTA when disposal, if necessary, is completed.
• The same operation continues as removal activities move to a new location.
Creosote Sheen Reporting Procedures
Prior to demolition activities commencing, the TZC demolition team received environmental compliance
training, including review of TZC’s Spill Prevention Control & Countermeasures (SPCC) Plan.
Throughout timber pile removal activities and in response to sheens observed, TZC has and will continue
to follow the requirements of its SPCC Plan. In addition, TZC has met with both the NYSDEC and
USCG on reporting requirements in the event that a creosote-based sheen is observed during timber pile
removal. The following summarizes the agreed to reporting protocols:
• NYSDEC
- Should a sheen be observed within the turbidity curtain, it does not need to be called in.
- Should a sheen be observed outside the turbidity curtain, it will be called in and a new spill
number assigned.
- The NYSDEC is to continue to be included on email blasts reporting the spills.
- A 3-week look ahead schedule is provided to the NYSDEC via email.
• USCG:
- Should a sheen be observed within the turbidity curtain, it does not need to be called in.
- Should a sheen be observed outside the turbidity curtain, it will be called in and a new spill
number assigned.
- The USCG is to continue to be included on email blasts reporting the spills.
- A 3-week look ahead schedule is provided to the USCG via email.

Sitewide and Area 2 Rockland Causeway Foundation Removal
Best Management Practices

Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC (TZC) is preparing to remove the Area 2 Rockland Causeway portion of the existing
Tappan Zee Bridge in 2018. Deck and substructure removal is scheduled to start in early spring and will be
completed by mid-summer. Foundation removal is expected to begin by late-spring of 2018 and will be completed
in spring of
2019. Area 2 Rockland Causeway Foundation Demolition consists of the removal of 138 concrete pile caps,
constructed of 21,262 cubic yards (CY) of concrete supported on 11,265 timber pile. The Rockland Causeway
foundation system will be removed through the following sequence using mechanical methods:
1. Install floating containment boom with turbidity curtain around the pile cap(s);
2. Position hoe ram barges;
3. Hammer concrete pile cap(s) into rubble;
4. Advance to the next pier(s) and repeat steps 1-3;
5. Install floating containment boom with turbidity curtain around the pile cluster(s) and rubble pile(s);
6. Position bucket-excavator barge adjacent to exposed timber pile;
7. Remove exposed pile utilizing the direct pull method by pinching or choking top of exposed pile with
bucket or rigging, pull/extract/snap timber pile below river bottom, verify that demolition limit has been
achieved by evaluating length of mud/pile length and load onto timber barge;
8. Bucket rubble off of river bottom and load onto rubble barge (Steps 7 & 8 may have concurrency); and
9. Scan area in groups of 4 to 10 piers, return and remove any remaining material with bucket. These scans
will be provided to the NYSDEC as specified in TZC’s Inspection Test Plan.
The following Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be utilized during demolition activities in Area 2 and where
applicable and not otherwise specified in the Demolition Plan in the other Demolition Areas:
1. CONCRETE MECHANICAL BREAKING – General BMPs
1.1. Prior to beginning work, TZC will side-scan and log the conditions of the riverbed surrounding the pile cap.
1.2. A floating containment boom with a five-foot turbidity curtain anchored to the river bottom will be
deployed around all active pile cap demolition areas.
1.3. Impact breakers, shears or other mechanical demolition equipment will be operated in a downward
manner that allows concrete rubble to separate cleanly from the supporting timber piles and accumulate
in a consolidated area in and around the foundation footprint.
1.4. Excavator operators will minimize the spread of debris during mechanical breaking. Concrete rubble
entangled in rebar within the piling will be lifted directly to debris barges or detangled from piling
allowing it to consolidate within the foundation footprint.
2. TIMBER PILE REMOVAL – General BMPs
2.1. A floating containment boom with a five-foot turbidity curtain anchored to the river bottom will be
deployed around all active pile removal areas.
2.2. Pile will be extracted utilizing the direct pull method. The direct pull extraction refers to the removal of
piling by grabbing or choking the piling and directly pulling the piling from the sediment using an
excavator. The operator will pull in an upward direction, applying side loading only as necessary to snap
the pile. Sitewide and Area 2 Rockland Causeway Foundation Removal BMPs - 1
2.3. The excavator operator will remove piling slowly to minimize turbidity in the water column as well as
sediment disturbance.
2.4. Once out of the water, the piling will be moved expeditiously to the containment barge.
2.5. The piling will not be shaken, hosed off, stripped or scraped off, left hanging to drip or any other action
intended to clean or remove adhering material from the piling. Any sediment associated with removed
piling will not be returned to the waterway. Material will be stacked and organized in a manner to prevent
timber or retained sediment from reentering the water.
2.6. TZC will record pile quantity and pile lengths during removal to verify each pile has been removed to
below the demolition limit. Any pile identified as breaking above the demolition limit will be recorded
and have its location logged. When possible the broken pile will immediately be pursued while equipment
is at that location. If not possible, TZC will return to the location during rubble removal to pursue the pile.
2.7. To ensure ongoing adherence to these BMPs, the superintendent and field engineer will conduct
documented weekly reviews of the work practices with the pile removal crew.
3. CONCRETE RUBBLE REMOVAL – General BMPs
3.1. A floating containment boom with a five-foot turbidity curtain anchored to the river bottom (full depth
curtain in Area 6) will be deployed around all active debris removal areas.
3.2. Excavators will be aligned and positioned to allow the operator to work within a tight perimeter of the
extent of the debris pile. When possible timber pile removal may occur in conjunction with rubble
removal so timber pile may be used to orient the operator directly over the pier footprint and associated
debris pile.
3.3. TZC will have adequate barges available to allow rubble and timber to be directly removed from the river
to a barge without redepositing material in the river. Deliberate redepositing of material will not be
allowed.
3.4. The excavator operator will operate the bucket slowly when lifting material from the rubble pile to
minimize resuspension of sediment. In an effort to minimize the resuspension of sediment, operators will
pause the excavator bucket near the river bottom to allow material in the bucket to settle before slowly
lifting material through the water column.
3.5. Buckets of material will not be shaken, washed through the water column, hosed off, left hanging to drip
or any other action intended to clean or remove latent material from the rubble. Any sediment associated
with removed rubble will not be returned to the waterway.
3.6. Upon completion of debris removal TZC will side-scan and log the conditions of the river bed. This
information will be used to verify all demolition debris material has been removed and identify any
remaining debris that must be removed.
3.7. To ensure ongoing adherence to these BMPs the superintendent and field engineer will conduct
documented weekly reviews of the work practices with the rubble removal crew.
4. COMMUNICATION AND TRAINING – General BMPs
4.1. The ECT and TZC’s Construction Manager will review and discuss these BMPs in a dedicated training
session with TZC’s demolition team. Heavy emphasis will be placed on equipment operation methods to
minimize resuspension of sediments, minimizing the removal footprint and preventing the double
handling of material.
4.2. TZC’s superintendent and field engineer will monitor the implementation of these BMPs during field
operations. Daily activities will be recorded on the Demolition Checklist and the ECT will be contacted
should any issues arise in the field during operations.
4.3. TZC’s Area Manager, superintendent and field engineer will review removal logs and side scan data
collection information weekly.
4.4. TZC’s Area Manager and/or Deputy Area Manager will conduct weekly, documented inspections of the
operation to confirm compliance with these BMPs.
