Project Understanding
The Croton Yacht Club was established in 1957 and consists of a one story frame building with a
wooden deck and concrete walk, 125 slip marina, upland boat storage, and approximately 500 feet of
steel bulkhead. Figure 1 depicts the various components of the project site. The site is situated
adjacent the Metro North railway system (located approximately 200 feet away from the southwest
bulkhead at the site).
Figure 1- Project Components
Ocean and Coastal Consultants (OCC) is providing the Village of Croton with engineering design
services for the replacement of approximately 433 feet of the 500 feet of existing steel sheet pile
bulkhead at the site.

Geophysical & Geotechnical Parameters
4.2.1
Bathymetry
A hydrographic survey was conducted 15 March 2011 which identified the water depths along the
existing bulkhead. The survey is included in the base site plan located in Appendix A.
4.2.2
Subsurface Conditions
The majority of the project site is located in a soft clay soil region (except for the North section of
the bulkhead which is adjacent the Yacht Club Building). The SPT values collected from the
additional borings conducted provided soil parameters used for the design calculations of the
bulkhead. Copies of the boring logs are provided in Appendix C.
4.3
Stray Current Analysis
OCC's sub-consultant, Henkels & McCoy, performed a two day study of potential readings
beginning on 13 June 2011. The purpose of the study was to determine if the direct current at the
nearby rail line could potentially affect the bulkhead.
The results from the analysis indicate the stray current can be a problem at the site. The potential
difference between simultaneous readings at different ends of the bulkhead was as great as 0.5
volts. This can be a significant problem when considering that a potential shift when using
cathodic protection is typically 0.2 to 0.3 volts.
As a result of the above findings, OCC recommends installing an impressed current cathodic
protection (ICCP) system on the bulkhead and performing regular underwater inspections to
maximize the bulkhead's service life. In addition, we will need to design the new bulkhead's
components to be electrically isolated from existing structures and from new elements that can
act as voltage return paths (i.e. ground anchors).

Environmental Climate Change
The changes in climate due to temperature, precipitation, and sea level rise will continue to
impact the Hudson River; these will primarily be demonstrated by water depth and velocity which
results in sedimentation changes (bank failure, local scour, locations of aggradations and
degradation). By 2020, the projected sea level rise in the Mid-Hudson Valley and Capital Region is
1 to 4 inches and possibly 4 to 9 inches with the rapid ice-melt scenario.2 Sea level rise will also
cause other concerns such as a higher water table, storm surge, increased salinity, flooding, and
erosion.

Concept Design Alternatives
OCC performed a review of shoreline stabilization options for the Croton Yacht Club site. Some of
the options initially considered but then ruled out after examination of the site conditions include
stone revetment and cantilever bulkhead. Each option and our reasoning behind not pursuing
them further is described below.
Photo 5 - Stone Revetment (left) and Cantilever Bulkhead (right)
Stone revetment: This method of stabilization includes the placement of stone rocks at a 1V:1.5H
slope along the shoreline (Photo 5). A stone revetment was ruled out as a possibility for the
Croton Yacht Club site due to the usage of the upland area adjacent to the shoreline, regulatory
concerns, and navigational limitations. Permitting such a structure requires limited encroachment
into the water area past the existing bulkhead. In order to maintain the proper slope and the
encroachment limitations, the bottom of the revetment would have to be in line with the current
bulkhead and the top of the revetment would fall very close to the yacht club building. This would
decrease the usable land area for yacht storage, reduce or eliminate the public access area, and
limit the ability to launch boats.
Cantilever Bulkhead: This shoreline stabilization method consists of the placement of vertical
steel sheet pile (Photo 5). This option was not a possibility for the site due to the soil conditions
and the surcharge loads along the upland adjacent the shoreline.
Based on the loading and soil, we identified two design alternatives using steel sheet pile that
were appropriate for replacement of the bulkhead at the site. Both alternatives utilize the same
design for Segments C and D (the Non Building Area). However, the design for Segments A and B
(the Building Area) differ within each proposed alternative. Steel was selected as the primary
material since vinyl or composite sheets would not have the structural strength for the loading
and poor soil conditions.

Figure 7- Typical Cross Section for Segments A & B using Alternative 1 (Tie back with Ground Anchor System)
This alternative involves utilizing a tie back ground anchor system for all segments. A deadman
anchor system could not be used for Segments A and B due to the close proximity of the Yacht
Club building to the shoreline. In addition, reusing the existing anchor system has been excluded
as an option since it is not likely to provide the required anchor capacity.
6.1.1
Constructability
For all segments, new sheet pile will be installed within 1'-6" of the front of the existing sheet pile
to a depth of 45 feet for Segments A, B, and C and a depth of 24 feet for Segment D. The shorter
length of sheets can be used near Segment D since the elevation of better soil is higher at this end
of the site. Lightweight concrete fill will be placed behind the new sheet pile and in front of the
existing sheet pile from the mudline to the ground level. The new sheet pile will extend 3 feet
above the current ground elevation. The upland area adjacent the existing bulkhead will be
excavated back 10 feet and a new concrete paver walkway (approximately 10 feet wide) will be
constructed behind.

Constructability
The construction will be the same as what is described for Alternative 1 except Segments C and D
will utilize a traditional anchor system connected to a new steel sheet pile deadman upland at the
site. This type of construction will greatly affect the upland site since it requires the new tie rods
to be placed below grade across the site and connected to a new bulkhead driven inshore. Access
to the site for use by the marina staff and equipment will be greatly reduced during construction.

7. Summary and Recommendations
Based upon the results of the site investigation and information obtained from the hydrographic
survey and soil borings, OCC identified two design alternatives appropriate for replacement of the
approximately 433 FT of bulkhead at the site and provided a opinion of probable costs for both
alternatives. Alternative 1 consists of using ground anchors for the restraining the bulkhead and
Alternative 2 consists of the using ground anchors and a traditional anchored bulkhead.
As shown in Tables 9 and 10, the total construction costs for the project are effectively the same
for both design alternatives.

Table 10- Alternatives Design Comparison
OCC recommends that the bulkhead be replaced in accordance with Alternative 1, using the ground
anchor system for the entire site. The steel sheet piling and wale channels should be coated on both
sides with Devoe Bar Rust 235 from the top of the bulkhead to 5 feet below the mudline, and the wale
channels would be fully coated. The anchor wall steel sheet piles would be coated the full height as
well. The tie rods and tie rod hardware should typically be FBE epoxy coated per ASTM A775. Ground
anchors need to be double corrosion protected in accordance with PTI recommendations for rock and
soil anchors.
Croton Yacht Club
September 2011
Design Protocol Report
OCC also strongly advises that the new bulkhead utilize an impressed current cathodic protection
system in addition to proper protective coating of the steel. This will increase the overall design
life of the structure, and with routine maintenance inspections can provide a 50 year design life. It
will also mitigate stray current corrosion.
The next steps for proceeding with Alternative 1 consist of the Regulatory Permitting Phase. Since
the regulatory process can be arduous and lengthy, OCC recommends proceeding with the
preparation of permit applications and supporting materials as soon as possible after approval of
the recommended design alternative. The proposed plans which accompany the application
materials are typically at a "preliminary", or 35% design level. Final design effort is typically not
needed or recommended for permitting and is typically performed after the regulatory agencies
have had a chance to provide feedback about the project.
The typical time frame is 6-12 months from the initial submission of the permit applications to
receiving the permits from the regulatory agency. This is due to the number of federal, state, or
local approvals required as it requires coordinated review among the agencies. Once approved,
State DEC and US Army Corps of Engineers individual permits are usually good for three years.
However since bulkhead replacement is a No. 3 (Maintenance) activity, it should be covered by
the USACE's Nationwide Permit Program. Therefore once the permits are issued there isn't any
expiration dates imposed.
Upon receiving the permit approvals, OCC will proceed with the final design and preparation of
the contract documents.

Wind Generated Waves:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Automated Coastal Engineering System (ACES) wave
prediction application “Wind speed Adjustment and Wave Growth” provides estimates for wave
growth over open-water and restricted fetches in deep and shallow water. For this project, the model
was utilized to convert wind speed and direction data into wave information in the Hudson River area
adjacent to the project site.
Due to the restricted nature of the project site, there are three main factors affecting the height and
period of the wind generated waves; the fetch length, the water depth, and the wind speed. The wind
blowing from any direction across the river generates waves that potentially impact the site. A
restricted fetch analysis was performed to predict the wave climate at the project site by considering
various wind fetch directions as shown in Figure 1 on the following page.
The ACES module was utilized using "shallow restricted" option to determine the common
probabilistic storm parameters significant wave height and peak period. The significant wave height
(Hs) is the average of the one third (1/3) highest waves in the wave field. The peak period (Tp) has the
highest energy in the wave field. The blowing wind direction iteratively changed until the maximum
significant wave was obtained. The most critical significant wave was found to be caused by wind
blowing from the direction of 300o from the North. The average depths were obtained from NOAA
Chart 12343. The average depth for the selected fetch, which was used in ACES was estimated to be
15.6 feet at MHW.
Storm recurrence interval wind speeds were determined for the 1-year, 10-Year, 50-year, and 100-
year storms. These wind speeds were converted to a 1-hour duration based on methods provided by
the USACOE. The 1-hour duration is suitable for wind wave generation in the river. The results of the
shallow-water restricted fetch analysis for each storm recurrence interval are provided in Table B1.

Executive Summary
This study was conducted to determine the presence of stray current activity at the Croton
Marina and Yacht Club located in the town of Croton-on-Hudson, NY. The report
provides:
1.) A description of what stray current activity is and how it might affect the facility/
2.) A description of the test procedures and methods.
3.) Conclusions for the site with respect to stray current activity and possible design
considerations associated with the proposed development.
Henkels & McCoy Inc. conducted testing on June 13-16, 2011 to determine if stray
current from the Metro-North Commuter Rail or other sources was present at the Marina.
The testing was conducted using 24 hour digital voltage recorders and calibrated
reference electrodes placed at selected locations throughout the parcel.
The results of the testing found that the Marina is subject to both Dynamic and Static
stray current activity from Metro-North train operations. The presence of a Metro North
Substation near the site provides additional influence in the area and will have some
affect on new structures. The polarity of the voltage activity at the site seems to indicate
that current is flowing away from the substation at this particular point. This is somewhat
unusual but may be due to the fact that the substation is near the end of the electrified
system. Testing found that voltage gradients in the earth path seem to be oriented away
from the Metro-north substation located about 750 feet south of the marina. Substations
typically have extensive low resistance grounding systems and are designed to collect
returning stray current in the earth electrolyte. However, the Hudson River provides a
very low resistance path for current to flow, with the majority of train activity farther
south, the current may follow the river rather than the preferred metallic path. In this
case, the proposed bulkhead improvements and possibly the future wave screen supports
will be in this path and will likely show accelerated corrosion from one end to the other.
The northernmost end of the proposed bulkhead will likely suffer accelerated attack as
current picked up on the south end is discharged at the northern end.
The existing wave screen supports were tested (Figure 5 Green Graph) these tests
indicate that potentials on the steel are severely depressed during the “Off” hours of the
Metro-north System. The depression in potential is a clear indication of current discharge
from the pilings. This is likely caused by changes in substation activity remote from the
Marina and problems on the Metro-north ground path closer to the city.
Buried structural steel or other metallic components proposed for the site will require
some additional measures to mitigate the effects of the stray current activity. All of the
proposed sheet pile should be coated with at least a coal tar epoxy on both sides and
electrically bonded together for continuity. The bulkhead should also be provided with a
potentially controlled impressed current cathodic protection system (ICCP). Tie backs
should be electrically isolated from the main wall and also coated if possible.
Accelerated corrosion will occur due to stray current activity if it is not mitigated by
design and/or active protection of the new facilities.

Introduction
This study was conducted at the Croton Yacht Club, Croton Beach Road, Croton-on-
Hudson, NY. The purpose of the study was to determine if the operations of the adjacent
Metro-north DC rail system would cause any adverse effects on the proposed bulkhead
and also the wave screen supports for the Marina.
Metro-north operates at least two DC powered rail systems within about 280 feet east of
the Marina and also has a mainline substation within about 750 feet to the south. The
substation appears to be near the end of the electrified rail system and is only about 100
feet from the shore of the Hudson River.
The proposed bulkhead will run for about 250 feet across and in front of the existing
bulkhead in front of the Marina Clubhouse and will have two returns of approximately 70
and 100 feet. A wave screen extends south from the shorter bulkhead and is supported by
a series of steel H-piles and batter piles. The existing piling system is partially
interconnected by a welded steel wale that provides continuity between the supports. The
wale system appears to be unfinished and may be extended to include the remaining H-
pile supports to the south. While the wave screen is not part of this project, it is being
influenced by stray current, and mitigation measures may require its inclusion in any
cathodic protection system for the new bulkhead.
DC operated railways can be the source of severe stray current in urban areas particularly
in areas where rail bonds and other current return paths have been poorly maintained.
Many areas along DC transit systems are subject to extremely severe stray current
activity and mitigation is necessary on nearby underground or submerged structures.
(Figure 1.)
Figure 1 – Corrosion of metallic structures as a result of a DC transit system.
Henkels & McCoy performed voltage testing along the existing bulkheads and wave
screen and along Croton Beach Road near the Metro-north substation. The electrical
voltage surveys are used to detect stray current activity and provide information on the
probability that buried or submerged structures will be affected by abnormal levels of
stray current activity.
The testing conducted in this study involved recording voltages during an 18 hour period,
with special attention given to obtaining data during the major rush hours in each time
period. The period between 7:00 PM and 12:00 AM was also a priority as major
fluctuations in train activity typically occur on the Metro-north system during that time.
During rush hour the trains operate at their highest levels of the day. Fluctuations in
activity usually correspond with acceleration of the trains out of the various stations on
the line. During rush hour the rate and activity is usually more than double the train
traffic during the rest of the day. The “System Off” period (actually a period of low
activity when substations are taken off line and train activity is fairly minimal) provides a
contrast to the normal data. Because few if any trains are active during that time period
an analysis of static activity can be made.
Substations can be a focal point of stray current activity. This is because they are the
point where the operating current originates, and all current that leaves the substation has
to return. The current can return either by a hardwire system (rails or other conductors) or
through the ground path (soil electrolyte). When current returns through the ground path,
it becomes stray current and can cause damage. The substation is a well grounded
structure and is designed to accept current through the soil electrolyte. Current flow
through the soil electrolyte concentrates near the substation and can cause a fairly steep
voltage gradient in the soil in the area of substation’s grounding system. The steep
voltage gradient combined with the current flow is what causes the damage on adjacent
structures. Typically, the closer an unbonded underground structure is to the steepest
area of the gradient the more corrosion that will take place. However, in this case it
appears that the substation may be discharging current into the surrounding area. This is
probably due to the fact that it is near the end of the line and is very close to a brackish
section of the Hudson River.
Testing at this site has indicated that there is a fairly constant static current flow (Voltage
gradient) near the substation. The polarity of the voltage at the site indicates that the
current is flowing away from the Substation at all times. This condition would tend to
cause current pickup on any metallic building component at the point nearest the
substation and corrosion where it discharges back into the electrolyte. (i.e. a steel sheet
pile bulkhead would tend to lose wall thickness at the end of the bulkhead farthest away
from the substation) The rate of metal loss would be dependent upon the actual current
flow leaving the sheet pile bulkhead or the H-pile wave screen. The metal loss would be
constant and occurring 24 hours a day 365 days a year. Therefore even a small amount of
current can compromise a metallic structure in a relatively short time.
bulkheads and oriented so that the polarity of paired electrodes would indicate a direction
of current flow (Voltage Gradient). The location of each electrode is shown in Figure 2.
A seventh reference electrode was installed on the northernmost H-pile on the wave
screen. This electrode was a Silver/SilverChloride (AG/AGCL) and is the standard
electrode for testing in brackish water or seawater. The AG/AGCL electrode monitored
the potential of the H-pile for the same period to see if the voltage changes in the area
caused any effects on in place steel structures. In this case, the potential changes on the
H-pile correlated with activity in the ground.
The existing bulkheads were not tested since they are not electrically continuous and
would not provide data that would be usable for a structure with any length in the ground.
The only structure that fit the profile of long and electrically continuous was the 60 foot
section of wave screen that was interconnected by the waler.

4.0.4 Conclusions
1.
The level of dynamic stray voltage activity at different points on the property can
be fairly substantial. Along Croton Beach Road it can vary by over .5 volts along
shore, and up to .25 volts in front of the Clubhouse.
2.
The level of static stray current is moderate, and is flowing away from the
substation. It has the potential to cause deterioration of metallic underground
structures over a period of time.
3.
Stray current will flow through the proposed sheet piles, and any other below
grade metallic components, creating a voltage gradient across each structure. The
closer the component is to the substation, the larger the voltage gradient can
become and the higher amount of metal loss that can be expected.
4.
Mitigation of stray current damage typically involves the use of cathodic
protection or in some cases an actual hardwire bond back to the source. Bonding
to the source is not an option in this case.
5.
Design considerations such as isolating the tiebacks from both the new bulkhead
and the old bulkhead, continuity bonding, coating all underground metallic
structures, and the addition of an impressed current cathodic protection system
should be considered. These measures will minimize or eliminate the effects of
the stray current activity in the area.
6.
The wave screen pilings are presently being influenced by stray currents. The
150-200 mV depression observed overnight indicates a relatively severe exposure
For about 4-5 hours per day.
4.0.5 Recommendations
1. Provide a dielectric coating (coal tar epoxy- minimum) on all buried or submerged
surfaces including below the mud line if possible. This would include the land side of
the sheet pile bulkhead and tie-backs if possible.
2. Provide continuity bonding between all sheet piles and appurtenances that will be
submerged or buried.
Note: Continuity bonding can be accomplished by a steel channel pile cap, welded
strap, or welded pile connections, or a welded waler system.
3. Electrically isolate the tiebacks from the sheet pile bulkhead and provide spacing
and/or isolation sleeves to prevent contact between the tiebacks and the old bulkhead.
4. Avoid electrical connections on the bulkhead that interconnect with the power neutral
grounding system. (i.e conduits, lighting mounts, electrical service panels, etc.)
5. Install a potentially controlled Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) System
that will provide both mitigation of any stray current activity and also provide general
corrosion protection for the submerged areas of the bulkhead and the wave screen
pilings.
Note: If more than one bulkhead is installed at this location in the future they will
each require their own ICCP system.
Note: Cathodic Protection will only provide protection to the submerged or buried
surfaces of the bulkheads including some of the intertidal zone. It does not provide
additional protection to steel surfaces located above the water line or not electrically
connected to the system.
6. Install permanent reference electrodes at intervals along the land side of the new
bulkhead to monitor voltage activity.
7. If any new bulkheads or additions are made to this facility in the future, cathodic
protection for both the land and water side surfaces of the new structures should be
considered in the design. The closer to the substation that any new facilities are
located the more likely that stray current will cause problems.
4.0.6 Discussion
The stray current activity at the Croton Yacht Club is moderate to severe, which is typical
for a location as proximal to the Metro-North rail system as this site. The
brackish/seawater in the Hudson River also contributes to the activity at this location
because it provides a low resistance earth path near the substation. The polarity of the
test results show that static stray current is flowing away from the substation. The static
stray current is a cause of concern; with the constant flow of current in that direction,
current will also flow along the new bulkhead and discharge as it reaches the northern
end of the structure. The constant discharge of current on the north end of the structure
will increase the rate of corrosion in that area. It is not possible to predict the corrosion
rate before the bulkhead is installed, only that the potential for increased corrosion exists.
The level of static stray current present typically indicates discontinuities on the track
bonding and cable associated with the rail system. It can also be the product of a general
deterioration or increased resistance in the Metro-north ground path. The static stray
current is a byproduct of the Metro-north system operation in general and there is little
that can be done by Metro-north to mitigate the issue. The fact that the substation is near
the end of the electrified service area is likely contributing to the general stray current
activity at this facility.
The mitigation of stray current effects typically involves a multi-level approach during
the design of a facility; Continuity, Coating and Cathodic Protection. By integrating
these three items most of the negative effects on a structure can be removed.
Continuity: Bonds the structure together so that it can be evaluated and controlled as a
single unit.
Coating: Increases the resistance to earth of the structure as a whole and reduces the
amount of surface that can pick up current flowing in the earth. The better the coating the
less current that will get onto the structure.
Cathodic Protection: Offsets the effects of stray current by providing an opposing current
to the stray current that is trying to leave the structure. It reduces the net current flow off
of the structure to zero. It has the additional benefit of providing a net current flow onto
the structure that provides protection from the normal corrosion of steel in the earth
electrolyte.
The wave screen piles near shore (approximately 60 feet of which are bonded together)
are already being affected by stray current in the area. Current is likely being picked up
on each bent and is being discharged near the north end of the screen. For potentials on a
bare structure to be depressed 150-200 mV, it takes a significant amount of current
being discharged. When current is discharged it takes a small amount of metal with it. A
typical corrosion rate for steel in seawater is 20 lbs per amp per year. We do not know
how much current is being discharged, but it is certain that if the wave screen waler
system is completed without any type of mitigation in place, the northern piles will fail
prematurely at this location.
