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.

Both horizontal and vertical datums are necessary to fully control the position of a project. 3.2.1 Horizontal Datum The horizontal positions from the Hydrographic Survey were referenced to NY East State Plane (NAD83). 3.2.2 Vertical Datum The vertical datum used for the site is NGVD29. Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report Site Conditions 4.1 Location The Croton Yacht Club is located adjacent the Hudson River in the Village of Croton on Hudson, Westchester County, New York (Figure 4) and is in NOAA Chart 12343 from New York to Wappinger Creek (Figure 5). Figure 4- Site Location Figure 5- NOAA Chart 12343 Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report 4.2 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). Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report Meteorological - Ocean Parameters and Environmental Loads 5.1 Wave Generated Waves 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 3. Please refer to Attachment B for more details. Recurrence Interval Hs (ft) Tp (sec) 1-yr 2.25 2.84 10-yr 3.22 3.37 25-yr 3.60 3.57 50-Yr 3.90 3.71 100-Yr 4.19 3.84 Table 3- Wave Height Analysis Results 5.2 Tide Conditions The tide elevations were predicted using VDatum; a software tool developed by the National Ocean Service that allows transforming geospatial data among a variety of geoidal, ellipsoidal, and tidal vertical datums. The tides in Hudson River are affected by freshets, winds, and droughts. According to VDatum at the project site, the mean tide range is 2.6 feet; other tide elevations are given in Table 4.

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. 2 New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force. 2010. New York State Sea Level Rise Task Force. http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/administration_pdf/slrtffinalrep.pdf. Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report 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. Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report 6.1 Alternative 1 - Ground Anchors Throughout Site For Alternative 1, we propose using a steel sheet pile bulkhead with ground anchors throughout the site. Figure 6 - Alternate 1 Site Layout Shoreline Segment Lineal Foot (FT) Preliminary Proposed Design Segment A - North Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Segment B - Southwest Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Segment C - Southwest Non Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Segment D - South Non Building Area Headwall: AZ19-40' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Total Length Table 5- Alternate 1 Proposed Design Breakdown LEGEND Segment A - North Building Area Segment B - Southwest Building Area Segment C - Southwest Non Building Area Segment D - South Non Building Area Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report 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. Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report 6.1.2 Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) The total probable cost of Alternative 1 is approximately $3,295,000. Segment Length (ft) Cost/LF (USD) Total Cost (USD) Segment A - North Building Area $6,580 $665,000 Segment B - Southwest Building Area $7,040 $704,000 Segment C - Southwest Non Building Area $7,615 $952,000 Segment D - South Non Building Area $6,300 $674,000 Cathodic Protection - - $300,000 TOTAL $3,295,000 Table 6 Opinion of Probable Cost for Alternative 1 (Values based on 2011 prevailing wage rates and 20% contingency) Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report 6.2 Alternative 2 - Ground Anchors and Anchored Bulkhead For Alternative 2, we propose Segments A and B utilize a new ground anchor system and Segments C and D utilize an anchored bulkhead. Figure 8- Alternate 2 Site Layout Shoreline Segment Lineal Foot (FT) Preliminary Proposed Design Segment A - North Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Segment B - Southwest Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Segment C - Southwest Non Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Deadman Deadman: AZ12-15' Segment D - South Non Building Area Headwall: AZ19-40' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Deadman Deadman: AZ12-15' Total Length Table 7- Alternate 2 Proposed Design Breakdown LEGEND Segment A - North Building Area Segment B - Southwest Building Area Segment C - Southwest Non Building Area Segment D - South Non Building Area Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report Figure 9- Typical Cross Section for Segments C & D for Alternative 2 (Tie back with Deadman Anchoring System) 6.2.1 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. 6.2.2 Opinion of Probable Cost (OPC) The total cost predicted for Alternative 2 is $3,317,000.00 as shown in the figure below. The total cost is effectively the same as for Alternative 1. Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report Segment Length (ft) Cost/LF (USD) Total Cost (USD) Segment A - North Building Area $6,858 $665,000 Segment B - Southwest Building Area $7,040 $704,000 Segment C - Southwest Non Building Area $8,140 $1,018,000 Segment D - South Non Building Area $5,890 $630,000 Cathodic Protection - - $300,000 TOTAL $3,317,000 Table 8- Opinion of Probable Cost for Alternative 2 (Values based on 2011 prevailing wage rates and 20% contingency) Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report 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. Segment Alternative 1 Total Cost (USD) Alternative 2 Total Cost (USD) Segment A - North Building Area $665,000 $665,000 Segment B - Southwest Building Area $704,000 $704,000 Segment C - Southwest Non Building Area $952,000 $1,018,000 Segment D - South Non Building Area $674,000 $630,000 Cathodic Protection $300,000 $300,000 TOTAL $3,295,000 $3,317,000 Table 9- Alternatives Total Cost Comparison Segment Alternative 1 Preliminary Design Alternative 2 Preliminary Design Segment A - North Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Segment B - Southwest Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Segment C - Southwest Non Building Area Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Headwall: AZ26-60' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Deadman Deadman: AZ12-15' Segment D - South Non Building Area Headwall: AZ19-40' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Ground Anchor Headwall: AZ19-40' Sheet Pile Anchor: Tieback w/ Deadman Deadman: AZ12-15' 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. Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report Appendix A - Site and Hydrographic Survey Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report Appendix B - Wave and Climate Analysis Croton Yacht Club September 2011 Design Protocol Report 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.

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. 3.0 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.

Figure 2 – General Test Plan with Reference Locations 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. 5.0 References NACE International.
