Crews Replace 178-Year-Old Ohio & Erie Canal Dam Work proceeds on the main embankment of the East Reservoir dam in Portage Lakes State Park.

By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT

The $33 million construction of a new East Reservoir dam for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) in Portage Lakes State Park in Coventry Township, Summit County started last December and is expected to be completed this spring.

The new dam is located in front of the existing one built around 1840, and the project, awarded to the Ruhlin Company, is part of the ODNR’s ongoing initiative to repair and upgrade its aging dam infrastructure. It is being funded through the state’s capital appropriations budget.

The old dam, built to create a reservoir for the Ohio and Erie Canal, which now has Portage Lakes Drive on top of it, has surpassed its lifespan. It failed once during a 1913 flooding event, as noted in ODNR public presentations.

The old 1,400-ft. dam consists of three distinct sections called the see DAM page 2

Governor Forms Committee to Study Road Conditions Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Jan. 28 the creation of a committee that will study the current conditions of Ohio’s roadways and recommend options for maintaining and enhancing the state’s transportation infrastructure.

“Investing in Ohio’s transportation network is also an investment in the future of Ohio’s high-performance economy,” said DeWine. “We must ensure that our transportation system is not only safe and reliable, but that it also strengthens our economy by offering accessibility for current and new businesses.”

Members of the Ohio Governor’s Advisory Committee on Transportation Infrastructure include:

• Jim Aslanides, president, Ohio Oil & Gas Association • Matthew Blair, partner, Blair & Latell Co. LPA • Nicole Busey, tax director indirect tax compliance and planning, Marathon Petroleum Company LP • Richard Dalton, business manager, International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 18 • Marcus Hanna, CFO, Castellini Management • Ed Harmon, chairman/president, NAI Harmon Group • Mayor Dan Horrigan, City of Akron • Mike Jacoby, president/CEO, APEG • Sheriff Matthew Lutz, Muskingum County • Caroline Ramsey, communications and intergovernmen-

Construction Aims to Avoid Dangers of Canal Dam Failure DAM from page 1

south embankment, main embankment and north embankment — 200, 925, and 275 ft., respectively, with a maximum crest width of 40 to 50 ft. — and impounds approximately 900 surface acres of water.

It receives water flow from West Reservoir through the 1,500-ft.

“Iron Channel.”

“As a Class I high-hazard potential structure, a sudden failure of East Reservoir Dam likely would result in the structural collapse of at least one residence or commercial/industrial business and loss of human life. (Hazard ratings refer to the consequences of dam failure, not the dam’s condition),” states the project web page. “[The dam] currently has deficiencies that must be addressed to bring the dam into compliance with dam safety standards. The deficiencies include insufficient storage/discharge capacity, and it cannot pass the required design storm safely. Excessive and uncontrolled seepage through and under the embankment, especially at higher lake levels, along with severe concrete deterioration on the north spillway and lake drain structure also are present. The spillway presently has a severe discharge capacity deficiency that is well below dam safety requirements.”

The existing dam’s maximum embankment height is 24.8 ft. Its principal spillway is an ogee type, and it does not have an emergency spillway. The principal spillway crest elevation is 989 ft. above mean sea level, and the reservoir surface area at principal spillway elevation is 6,896 acres. The East Reservoir drains into two spillways — the north spillway, a 28-ft. concrete weir, and south spillway, a 21-ft. concrete weir. A typical section of the dam has a sand embankment over a sand foundation, with a maximum height of approximately 23 ft.

Tetra Tech, a consulting and engineering firm, examined the dam structure and found various deficiencies that required remediation to meet safety requirements and to deal with seepage. The firm completed the final design for the new dam in early 2017.

The work site is located along Portage Lakes Drive between

The new dam is located in front of the existing one, which was built around 1840. Due to its poor condition the old dam has not been touched during the project.

South Turkeyfoot and North Turkeyfoot roads. The new dam will be constructed using deep-soil mixing (DSM) and will have an immense underground cutoff wall to control seepage and a gravity block to resist sliding and overturning. These DSM elements will protect the existing embankment. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued a permit for the work to proceed.

Local impacts on roads and bridges are handled by Summit County, with utility impacts handled through the county, city of Akron, and local utility providers.

The Ohio EPA approved the project and issued an environmental permit to the ODNR. Water levels have been maintained and reduced only as necessary to allow crews to do their work, and the ONDR ensured that the park could operate as normally as possible during the spring, summer, and fall, particularly for boating and recreation.

“The deep-soil mixing equipment is loud, but equipment operations will not stay in one place for more than a few days,” noted the web page. “ODNR will provide more detail on when noise is expected to affect specific areas as more information becomes available. There will be some temporary impacts to local traffic as heavy construction equipment is moved into and around the con-

struction site. Additionally, there is some construction required on Portage Lakes Drive that will require a temporary and minor traffic detour. At least one lane in each direction will be maintained at all times with just one or two temporary exceptions when that phase of construction work occurs.”

The two-phase project covers the south spillway, south embankment, main embankment, north spillway, and north embankment, Phase 1, covering the south embankment, started in December 2017, and Phase 2 began in February 2018. Substantial completion is expected in spring 2019.

Phase 1 included the construction of a DSM cut-off wall and gravity portions of the new dam located in the south embankment and portion of the Main Embankment. The project is on schedule and construction is ongoing on the three dam sections.

The project is on schedule and in effect, the actual “new dam,” the core of the project, was completed just prior to December.

A small portion of the work area known as the Cat Swamp, located near the north embankment, was drained to construct the north spillway and gatehouse and will be refilled after they are completed.

This element also had a concrete channel demolished and replaced with a new, wider, concrete channel. Soil-cement drilling continues

in the north and main embankments in the direction of the Rosa Villa Restaurant parking lot, where the project team will tie it into the higher ground.

“To complete the necessary work, the soil-cement drilling will need to cross Aqua Blvd.,” the web page states.

Along the south embankment, a protective concrete cap for the soilcement structure — i.e., the new dam — was poured and topped with 2 ft. of soil cover. A temporary bridge was previously installed to provide access to place the soil cover and will stay in place temporarily until early 2019.

“We’ve completed 95 percent of the deep soil mixing,” said Doug Hartz, Ruhlin’s project manager.

“That is the key element of the new dam which includes the cut-off wall and gravity sections. The dam also has a protective concrete cap and parapet which is then covered with top soil and seeded. We have to complete the north embankment, the concrete channel and the north spillway and gatehouse. The concrete cap and parapet also needs to be completed on the main and north embankments.”

Hartz stressed that work site is tight, with limited space for equipment and materials.

“We have a lack of laydown space as the project is located in a residential area and small business district,” he said. “We had time to

develop a plan to deal with the lack of space during the preconstruction phase of the project. The construction phase is expected to take 18 months. We’ve been in the construction phase for over a year now. Safetywise, there’s an emergency action plan which is a collaborative effort with the ODNR and Tetra Tech to control the pool and maintain the integrity of the old dam during construction. Pool levels are monitored closely during weather events and water was controlled through the south spillway.

Once work started on the north spillway, siphons were installed in the south spillway to control water.

“We monitored seepage through the existing dam, being sensitive to this threat and for potential unforeseen conditions when working adjacent to the old dam,” he added.

“The old dam is a sand embankment that is built on a sand foundation and is considered a very fragile structure.”

Crews will work throughout the winter, and communication efforts will continue with the community as heavy equipment continues to be on site. The ONDR provides updates on social media concerning upcoming work and what crews are doing during their 7 a.m.-to-7 p.m. shifts, Mondays to Fridays.

“We scheduled our work to make sure that activities in the water are nearly completed before winter,” said Hartz. “We also planned our work so we would be working in the dry for the concrete work on the north gatehouse and spillway.”

Hartz noted Ruhlin, Tetra Tech, and ODNR are able to solve issues that arise, often within a few days and that a collaborative effort is ensuring steady progress.

Sediment and erosion controls are in place, including a turbidity curtain which separates the work zone from water traffic.

The project’s two phases have essentially blended into one.

“We started later than anticipated and we went directly from Phase 1 to Phase 2 without stopping,” said Hartz. “We brought in about 50,000 yards of sand that was placed in front of the existing dam to provide a working platform to perform the deep soil mixing. see DAM page 7

Group Pushes for Higher Fuel Tax, More Road Funding

8:31 AM

Local government officials, local chambers of commerce, and local transportation groups are working together as part of a new advocacy organization to increase Ohio’s state fuel tax and impose a fee on alternativefueled vehicles to help generate more transportation funding.

The new coalition, called Fix Our Roads Ohio, aims to “educate Ohio citizens and policymakers on the critical needs of Ohio’s transportation infrastructure” while “advocating for funding solutions that will provide long-term, smart investment in Ohio’s transportation future.”

“The facts are overwhelming and disturbing,” Dean Ringle, executive director of the County Engineers Association of Ohio — one of the local government groups involved in Fix Our Roads Ohio coalition — noted in a statement on Jan. 15.

“Without decisive action by state policymakers, this problem will become a crisis that will cripple our economy,” he said.

“Reduced roadway construction will trigger worker layoffs. Businesses dependent upon trucking will be hurt by inadequate roads and bad bridges. Delays and congestion cost money and that affects everyone.”

The coalition is circulating an eight-page case study — titled A Moment of Truth:

Ohio DOT

A coalition that calls itself Fix Our Roads Ohio advocates increasing the state’s fuel tax to fund long-term investments in transportation infrastructure.

Ohio’s Transportation Funding Problem and How to Solve It — that calls for both raising Ohio’s state fuel tax above its current 28 cent per gallon level to match that of neighboring states (ranging from 35.7 cents to 58.7 cents per gallon) and indexing the tax to inflation.

The plan also recommends levying a fee on owners of alternatively fueled vehicles that don’t use gasoline or diesel to help pay

for road maintenance and construction, plus restoring general fund support for public transit services to the fiscal year 2000 level of $44 million per year.

Fix Our Roads Ohio said such initiatives could help beef up funding available to the Ohio Department of Transportation data, which is scheduled to spend $1.7 billion on its capital program in fiscal year 2020, down

29 percent from the $2.4 billion in fiscal year 2014 — a decrease due in large part to the expiration of Ohio’s Turnpike Bond program on June 30 this year.

The funding shortfall is not limited to the state-maintained transportation system, the group added, noting that the County Engineers Association of Ohio has reported that only 40 percent of the funds needed to bring aging roads to current standards, replace or repair all eligible bridges, pave county roads on a 10-year cycle, and perform ongoing maintenance, are currently available.

“This deficiency in funding leads to a continuing downward spiral of deteriorating roadway and bridge conditions,” noted Keary McCarthy, executive director of the Ohio Mayors Alliance, in a statement.

“Traffic delays and transportation funding deficits will hurt our residents and slow our economic progress,” she said. “Ohio and its local communities cannot afford to fall further behind other states who are investing in their infrastructure. We have to come together to address this very serious challenge facing our state.”

cost private capital to building projects including projects with sustainable energy goals.

The Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden design incorporates an optimized HVAC system that includes energy recovery makeup air technology and a geothermal system.

It features a high-performance building envelope, has complete interior and exterior LED lighting, and uses low-flow plumbing fixtures throughout.

Utility impact modeling of the Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn design against the International Energy Conservation Code 2012 shows the building will perform 32 percent better on an energyconsumption basis than required by the stringent IECC code — saving nearly 5 million BTUs per year.

With a projected utility cost of $1.61 per sq. ft., the building is expected to save 52 cents per square foot annually, a 32 percent energy cost savings.

The new Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn will fulfill the need for a highquality hotel space in the trendy Easton Town Center to further accommodate the 26 million visitors the district receives each year. Offering extended stays as a home away from home, and shorter visits in an open, inviting atmosphere.

“Middletown Hotel Management Company is a very well organized and sophisticated developer,” said David Oliverio, the Greater Cincinnati Area market leader for PACE Equity. “We thoroughly enjoyed working with their highly professional team bringing this new, eco-friendly hotel development to Easton Town Center.”

PACE Equity recently completed funding for the largest new PACE construction project in Ohio, a sustainable Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn to be constructed in Easton.

The project reflects the developer’s commitment to the environment while meeting demands of the new generation of green travelers. The 175,000-sq.-ft., 240-key hotel takes advantage of innovations in sustainable design and building technology, making a significant difference in both its environmental impact and cost of operation.

PACE Equity funded 22 percent of the capital stack, approximately $10.4 million out of a $47.5 million capitalization. The construction lender provided another $26.25 million, and developer Middletown Hotel Management Company Inc. contributed the remainder.

By using PACE Equity funding, the project’s investor return rate (IRR) improved by 35 percent and the multiple of invested capital increased 47 percent. PACE Equity also added value by providing a turnkey solution handling all governmental PACE requirements, district engagement, and program approval management and providing a utility impact and engineering analysis.

“There is a direct correlation between environmental benefits and economic benefits. Sustainability today is a best building practice,” said Har Bhatnagar, president and CEO of Middletown Hotel Management Company Inc. “Integrating green building strategies into the design and construction of the Homewood Suites and Hilton Garden Inn makes good business sense and PACE Equity is helping us meet our clean energy goals.”

The environmentally responsible aim of the new build was a natural fit to utilize PACE Equity funding, which provides low-

Dam Construction Crews Assemble Heavy Equipment On Site DAM from page 2

The top 16 inches of sand was then cement-stabilized. When you’re working around and in water, you have to be careful of the stability of the sand along the platform that you are preparing. We’re concerned about the large volume of trucks pulling in and out of the work site and the drill rigs used to perform the DSM. “The drilling rigs weigh over 300,000 pounds, and we did a lot of pre-planning in advance and prior to placing heavy equipment on it,” he added. “This equipment was assembled on site and disassembled and then put back together as we proceeded from the south to the north embankments. We were able to move equipment on Portage Lakes Drive if it didn’t exceed the weight and size limitations. Knowing that we were in a residential area, the subcontractors didn’t bring equipment that is too big for a smaller site.”

Hartz’s team is guided by Mike Ciammaichella, who provides executive oversight; Mike Garver, the project superintendent[ and Mario Garcia, the project engineer.

“Mike Garver, who has geology degree and geotechnical experience, has worked with me on several projects in the past and provides excellent leadership,” said Hartz. “Garcia is great on project engineering and administrative tasks.

Residents, when surveyed, said they preferred the work to be done via day shifts. Peak days have about 30 construction workers on site. Key subcontractors include Nicholson Construction Company, which is performing the deep-soil mixing and jet grouting. All Aspects Contracting is performing the demolition and The Ruhlin Company is placing the sand embankments and concrete. Finally, C. J. Zak is placing

the soil cover, topsoil and seeding.

New materials will include approximately 80,000 tons of sand embankment (5,041 truckloads), 90,000 cu. yds. of soil cement and 3,000 cu.yds. of concrete, with minimal amounts of steel and asphalt.

The work has crews using some very heavy equipment, including Bauer BG 39 and BG 30 drilling rigs; Cat D6 dozers and 336 excavators; and Volvo L120 loaders.

“Nicholson, our deep soil mixing subcontractor did not have any water and moisture issues because we tried to stay in the dry as much as possible,” Hartz said. “The sand berm was pushed in front of the land or existing earthen dam and

we just kept working our way along Portage Lakes Drive starting from the south end and moving towards the north end. We only went in the reservoir about 60 feet. Our sand was placed with a dozer and an excavator.”

The existing dam has not been touched.

“We try not to disturb it because it is in such poor condition,” said Hartz. “We were worried that we may have breech. It’s been a successful project, so far and it’s progressing on time and budget.”
