Work on the final phase of a multi-phase bridge project in Vermont is set to get under way in late March. The I-89 bridges project in Waterbury was designed to repair aging parts of the I-89 mainline substructure, to extend the life of the northbound and southbound bridges and replace the Exit 10 northbound off-ramp bridge.

“It’s been in the works for a while,” said Vermont Department of Transportation project engineer Tom Mancini. “The bridges were in pretty bad shape and needed to be rehabbed. Two of the bridges this year involved deck replacement.”

The two mainline bridges had deteriorated to the point that concrete was starting to fall from the structure. The existing bridge ramp is a six-span structure with five piers and expansion joints at each pier. Severe deterioration of the concrete piers on the bridge ramp combined with the need for painting and re-decking triggered the replacement.

“The ramp bridge is going to be completely new,”

Demolition Quietly Begins at Mill in Bucksport, Maine

The wrecking balls are not swinging yet, but demolition is getting under way at the mill property on River Road.

By Charles Eichacker The ellsworTh AmericAn

The wrecking balls are not swinging yet, but demolition is getting under way at the mill property on river road in Bucksport, maine.

Aim Development, the U.s. subsidiary of a canadian scrap metal recycler, bought the shuttered mill from Verso Paper corp. last winter and received its demolition permit from the town in late november. in september, it received a demo permit from the state Department of environmental Protection (DeP). with the red tape behind it, the company plans to take down the mill in several phases over the next year, accord-

ing to the application it filed with maine DeP in July.

That application was prepared by engineering consulting firm ces inc. A copy is now publicly available at the town office. Filling a large, loose leaf binder, it is a chunky document that provides a blueprint for the work that will take place on the 123-acre mill site. early this week, the only evidence that work was beginning was a backhoe operating at the property’s southwestern corner, near where papermaking took place. it’s also where the first phase of Aim’s demolition will take place. once those buildings are torn down, demo crews will move on to a strip of buildings where pulping occurred.

The last phase will see the removal of a wastewater treatment plant that used to serve the mill.

All together, the company expects the project will cost $4.5 million and require as many as 35 employees (some of whom have been hired locally). it will generate an estimated 14,000 cu. yds. (10,703 cu m) of debris, which will be removed by rail car on a track that runs between Bucksport and Bangor. it will be disposed of at either the crossroads landfill in norridgewock or the Juniper ridge landfill in old Town.

According to the company’s application, that debris will include, “but is not limited to building materials; discarded furniture; asphalt; wall board; pipes; and metal conduits. it excludes: partially filled containers of glues, tars, solvents, resins, paints or caulking compounds; friable asbestos; and other special wastes.”

The company also predicts removing 18,000 tons (16,329 t) of metal from the site, some of which will be shipped to montreal for recycling.

State of the Rail several cars have derailed from that track in recent years, and on at least one occasion papermaking chemicals spilled into the Penobscot river as a result. officials from both Aim and Pan Am railways, the company that owns the rail line, have said the track was inspected last summer and deemed to be safe. Along with debris removed from the mill site, the rail also will carry environmental waste removed from the holtrachem site. “our current plan is to run to Bucksport once a week until the snow stops us,” cynthia scarano, Pan Am executive vice president, wrote in an email last month. “we will resume in the spring.”

But who is responsible if there is a derailment and it causes damage to private or public property?

The Federal railroad Administration, not the maine Department of Transportation (mDoT), regulates rail lines around the country.

Because of that, nate moulton, director of mDoT’s rail program, declined to speak about the specific line between Bucksport and Bangor. he said in general, however, it’s usually the railroad owner, in this case Pan Am, that assumes liability in the case of accidents.

But a shipper such as Aim could bear some legal responsibility if it mislabeled cargo, moulton added. if there were a dispute, it would fall to a judge to determine liability, he said.

Surviving Boston’s Worst Winter

‘Crazy’ Winter Tests Snow Removal Specialist and His Doosan Equipment Stocking the right equipment, preparing it at various locations and having dependable employees on standby are three reasons George Sarris survived the worst winter in Boston’s history. During winter of 2014-2015, Boston, Mass., broke an all-time season snow record — which meant lots of work for snow removal specialists.

Sarris and his family own and operate Sarris Auto and Truck Equipment Inc. Sarris Snow Removal is a division of Sarris Auto and Truck Equipment, and specializes in snow and ice removal. When Boston was smacked in January and February 2015 with back-to-back mega snowstorms, Sarris fought back with snow and ice removal equipment to help his customers maintain their daily schedules.

Sarris was introduced to Doosan wheel loaders more than three years ago when he began renting them to handle large snow removal tasks. It turned out so well that he purchased his first Doosan wheel loaders for the following winter. “I bought two Doosan wheel loaders after I had a successful winter because they are productive machines,” Sarris said.

“The quality of the machines is what impressed me. They do an excellent job of removing snow, and the cab is roomy and comfortable for the operators.

“In the snow removal industry, you have to have good equipment to be able to do the work,” he said. “You have to have dependable machines and you have to do a good job. Any kind of edge you can get is a good thing.”

Sarris and his equipment operators clear snow from large municipal parking lots, bigbox home improvement stores, area shopping malls and even a few residential neighborhoods. To handle bulk snow removal, Sarris has purchased five Doosan wheel loaders.

“The Doosan DL200-3 and DL200TC-3 are the perfect size for me,” he said. “The DL2003 wheel loader with a bucket can easily handle the snow.”

Altogether, Sarris has 40 pieces of equip-

ment, including trucks, some with salt and sand spreaders in the cargo box and plows on the front. He owns four Bobcat skid-steer loaders and snow-removal attachments to clear snow from areas where his larger machines and trucks can’t fit.

Strategic planning Sarris believes in planning for snow storms, having his equipment ready and employees on call, available to respond quickly after a storm. “I have my equipment on site, and it is serviced and fueled,” he said.

“I call my operators and put them on standby when a storm

is approaching. I have dedicated employees at certain locations and they go to work as soon as they can.” Many of his employees are laid off from other jobs in winter months due to seasonal employment. “I have a lot of work in winter, so I keep them busy.”

Commercial centers want their parking lots free of snow before they open each morning.

That can present a challenge for Sarris, depending on the timing of the snow storm, but his crews do their best to have the lot as clear as possible before employees and customers start arriving. “We try to clear as much as we can before the stores open, depending on the timing of the snow event,” he explained. “We do a lot of our work after hours and in the early morning. When you get snow early in the morning and the store has to open at 7 a.m., you need to move quickly.

“We had a crazy winter this past year.

There were several big snowstorms. It was a test on a lot of our equipment and our mental abilities; it was very challenging.”

Where to Put All the Snow?

Winter storms Juno and Marcus ranked sixth and seventh for Boston snowstorms, based on snowfall, respectively. With all of that snow and little room to put it, Sarris had to think outside of the box.

“We hauled some of it on site and stockpiled it,” he said. “In Watertown, we joined forces with another company that has a snow melter and we melted the snow from an entire parking lot.”

Snow removal can be a challenging business because of the unpredictability of the work. Unlike planned construction job sites, Sarris has to be prepared 24/7 in winter to respond to a storm. “When the big snowstorms strike, you need to get things done quickly. If you don’t have the right equipment, you are not going to keep up.”

Waterbury’s I-89 Bridge Features Wider Lanes, New Ramp BRIDGE from page 1

Mancini said. “It will be wider with two lanes of traffic.

We’ve already started doing some of the work under the bridge. About the middle of April, we’ll close the bridge and put traffic on a temporary bridge already built.”

The work began in the fall of 2014 with underground utilities installed in underground conduits along Stowe Street to facilitate the demolition of the bridges. In 2015, decks on the northbound and southbound bridges were replaced by crews with Beck and Bellucci Contractors, based out of Franklin, N.H. The work went as anticipated, Mancini said. “The goal was to get those two bridges done in the first year, which they did and they earned their bonuses. The idea is to complete the third bridge next year and hopefully they will get that bonus as well.”

Equipment on the site includes a Caterpillar 336 excavator and a Caterpillar 329 excavator. “We’re using those for removing the deck and doing dirt work. On 46a, the bridge ramp, the footings are down. They went 28 ft. (8.53 m) deep, so we needed that large excavator, but we still couldn’t reach the bottom, so we had to have a mini-excavator to reach the bottom.”

The biggest challenge, Mancini said, was traffic. “This is the Stowe resort ski town,” he said. Everyone gets off at this exit to go there.”

But while construction occurred after ski season, there was plenty going on in the summer months, he said.

“There is a lot of mountain biking, special events on weekends, a large Lacrosse tournament. During those big

events, Thursday through Friday, it was bumper to bumper on Route 100.”

To alleviate that traffic congestion during construction, crews divided the interstate, a first for Vermont, Mancini said.

“Before you even got to the work area, the interstate was split into two separate lanes, ramp traffic was on the right, through traffic on the left. That way if there was a backup of traffic getting off, through-traffic could still flow. This was never done in Vermont, and it was quite a learning curve for

drivers to get used to that. The people who did read the signs, they got through fine. The people not paying attention were having issue.”

The new bridge ramp will be built with two piers and three spans with continuous steel girders and expansion joints at the ends only,” according to the VDOT press release on the project. “Reducing the number of expansion joints on the ramp bridge will reduce the potential for leaking at expansion joints, which causes deterioration of the bridge.”

The new bridge is scheduled for completion in October 2016, with other repair work and the project to be fully completed by October 2017, Mancini said.

N.H. Court Rejects Challenges to Auto Dealer Protection Law CONCORD, N.H. (AP) New Hampshire’s Supreme Court on Dec. 29 rejected most challenges to the state’s Auto Dealers Bill of Rights law, which was expanded to include manufacturers of tractors and yard and garden equipment.

John Deere and other farm and heavy equipment managers said the law looping them into protections designed for automobile and truck dealers unconstitutionally interferes with their equipment dealer contracts. They said they were improperly lumped in with auto manufacturers.

The state argued the law is a merger of regulations that dealt separately with automobile manufacturers and farm and tractor manufacturers. It bars manufacturers from terminating contracts with dealers without just cause, limits mandatory upgrades to facilities and requires proper reimbursement for warranty work done by dealers.

The state rejected most of the equipment manufacturers’ arguments that the law violates state and federal contract clauses, or that it is discriminatory. It sent back one chal-

lenge raised by Husqvarna to a lower court judge. That questioned whether the state passed legislation that improperly burdens or discriminates against interstate commerce.

When she signed the bill into law in 2013, Gov. Maggie Hassan said it leveled the playing field between manufacturers and dealers.

A judge barred it from taking effect after Deere and others filed suit.

“On behalf of the tens of thousands of people who work for franchised automotive dealerships around New Hampshire, I sincerely hope this is the final legal fight over this important law,” said Peter McNamara, president of the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association. “In one fashion or another, these laws are on the books in virtually every other state in the country, and this is an unwarranted interruption of basic rights for those who work in New Hampshire’s auto, truck and farm equipment sales business every day.”
