2019.07.01 Demolition Management and Logistics Plan Redlined 1 7/1/2019 900 King Street DRAFT Demolition Management & Logistics Plan A. INTRODUCTION The owner of the property located at 900 King Street (the “Site”) has applied to the Village of Rye Brook’s Board of Trustees (“Village Board”) for site plan approval to demolish the existing office building on the Site. AKRF, Inc., with input from AP Construction and JMC Engineering, has prepared this Draft Demolition Management & Logistics Plan for the Village Board as part of that application for the purposes of:  Providing a written narrative of the expected building demolition process (Phase 1, as defined below); and,  Addressing the potential environmental impacts of the proposed demolition, inclusive of those issues discussed in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (“DEIS”), and comments thereon, as well as comments raised by the Village’s Planning Board at its June 13, 2019 meeting, the June 26, 2019 comments of the Village’s Planning Consultant, and the comments received at the June 27, 2019 Public Hearing. PROCEDURAL CONTEXT As described in the June 6, 2019 letter from Mark P. Miller transmitting the application, the Applicant has requested that the Village Board “segment” the environmental review of demolishing the existing building from the environmental review of the overall application for Site-wide redevelopment. As noted in the same letter, demolishing the existing office building:  Has independent utility. Regardless of the outcome of the Village’s environmental review of the Site-wide redevelopment project, the existing office building would be demolished by the Applicant. As documented in the DEIS, and the preliminary FEIS (“pFEIS) under review by the Village, the Applicant has not been able to lease the existing office building for a number of reasons and desires to remove the office building and redevelop the Site with an economically viable use.  Is not determinative of a particular redevelopment scenario for the Site. Regardless of the particular redevelopment scenario that may ultimately be approved by the Village to return this site to productive use, the existing office building must be demolished. Demolition, in and of itself, does not commit the Village to a particular future action or project on the Site.  Is no less protective of the environment than if the demolition were considered together with the overall redevelopment project. As documented in Mr. Miller’s June 6, 2019 letter, “the potential impacts of demolishing the existing office building have been analyzed [in the DEIS and pFEIS] and measures to avoid those potential adverse impacts have been identified [in the DEIS and pFEIS] and have been included in the demolition plans for the existing building.” These measures were summarized in the June 6, 2019 letter and are discussed in more detail in this Draft Demolition Management and Logistics Plan. It is important to note that these measures are reflective of the comments received on the DEIS. 900 King Street 7/1/2019 2 SITE PLAN (DEMOLITION) APPLICATION The Applicant is requesting site plan approval for a two-Phase demolition on the Site. Phase 1 would include the removal of the existing office building. This action would take place immediately upon receipt of all necessary permits so that it can be completed prior to the first day of school (e.g., September 5, 2019). Included in this phase is removal of the foundation walls and slab of the 2-story ‘western’ portion of the building and the filling, re-grading, and vegetation of this area. The asphalt and slab under the 3-story ‘eastern’ portion of the building would not be removed during this phase nor would the existing parking or driveways be removed. Phase 2 of the demolition would include removal of the parking lot, associated concrete areas and light fixtures, and the ‘eastern’ building slab and the replanting of this area with grassy vegetation. Phase 2 of the demolition would occur within one year of the issuance of the demolition permit for Phase 1 unless another site plan is approved for the site or the Board of Trustees approves an extension. 1 As requested by the Village’s Planning Board, staff, and consultants, the remainder of this Draft Demolition Management and Logistics Plan summarizes the Phase 1 demolition process, lists the measures being undertaken to avoid or minimize potential environmental impacts from demolition, and assesses the potential significance of the environmental impacts of demolition. B. SUMMARY OF BUILDING DEMOLITION PROCESS The Applicant, with the assistance of their Site-Civil Engineer, Construction Manager and Demolition Contractor, has established the following process for the demolition of the existing office building, which is referred to as Phase 1 of the demolition site plan:  Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM) will be removed in accordance with State regulations. o As discussed below, exterior waterproofing was determined to be ACM. Removal of this material will require excavation of a narrow trench along the outside of the foundation wall around the ‘2-story’ portion of the building. This trench will permit access to the exterior of the foundation wall for removal of the ACM prior to demolition of the foundation. This trench will meet all applicable Village, State, and Federal regulations related to safety. o Removal of the ACM would occur by hand and would be done in accordance with NYS safety regulations.  Utility disconnections for water, sanitary sewer, gas, and electricity will be completed prior to the start of demolition at a point within the Project Site required by the utility provider (e.g., ConEd, Suez, Village). The utilities within Arbor Drive will not be impacted by the demolition work. 1 Demolition of the existing office building has independent utility from the overall redevelopment proposed for the Site and is not pre-determinative of a specific redevelopment option. Nevertheless, the Applicant is proposing to maintain the slab under the eastern portion of the building and the asphalt parking lot during Phase 1 of the demolition to allow for construction worker parking and staging during a future redevelopment, which areas would be utilized regardless of the particular redevelopment alternative that is ultimately approved. Demolition Management and Logistics Plan 3 7/1/2019  The building will be treated for rodent control, in accordance with Chapter 107 of the Village Code and Westchester County Department of Health regulations.  Site fencing, screening, and sedimentation control measures will be installed to the satisfaction of the Building Department and as shown on the Site Plans. o Temporary site fencing will be installed around the work area, including areas where material and equipment will be staged and stockpiled. In general, the fence will control access to the Site from Arbor Drive and will surround the building and work area, but will not enclose the entire parking area. Specifically, the eastern portion of the parking area, closest to Village Hall, will not be enclosed with temporary fencing. However, in order to access this eastern area of the parking lot, you must pass through the single entry gate off of Arbor Drive. The existing parking lot and driveway will not be removed during Phase 1 of the demolition. o The fencing is anticipated to be 6-foot tall temporary chain link fence., the purpose of which is for general safety and screening. The portion of the fencing facing Arbor Drive will include decorative screening. o Construction workers may park their personal vehicles outside of the fenced area, in the eastern portion of the parking lot. Similarly, during the day, trucks may be staged in this eastern area prior to loading. However, for both classes of vehicles, entry to this eastern area of the parking lot would be controlled by the single main gate at the entrance off of Arbor Drive. That is, all access to the Site must pass through the main gate off of Arbor Drive. o The gate to enter the Site would be set back from Arbor Drive approximately 60 feet such that there would be no queuing of vehicles on Arbor Drive to enter the Site. o Erosion and Sedimentation Controls include temporary inlet (e.g., storm drain) protection and silt fence within the limit of disturbance. These measures will be inspected and maintained as necessary during demolition.  Interior asset recovery and removal of interior finishes and removal of exterior assets, including mechanical and electrical equipment, would occur. In general, this portion of the work would not produce large amounts of noise.  Prior to the building being demolished, glazing (e.g., windows) would be removed by hand. The glazing may be removed in phases as the demolition of the building progresses from one side to the next.  Demolition of the structure would start at the east end (i.e., closest to Village Hall) and move toward the west. o No explosives would be used. o The building would be demolished using machines equipped with claw-like attachments that would remove the roof, siding, interior walls, concrete slabs, and structural elements (see attached pictures of representative equipment). o Demolished materials will be separated, sorted, and trucked off-Site for disposal at appropriate facilities. Trucks accessing the Site will include tractor trailers and roll-off trucks. o Structural demolition will be performed from within the existing building footprint to limit disturbance to outside areas. 900 King Street 7/1/2019 4 o As noted above, the asphalt and building slab under the eastern portion of the building (e.g., the 3-story portion) would remain in place during Phase 1 of the demolition.  Per the demolition contractor, equipment to be utilized will include the following (see attached pictures for similar equipment): o High reach excavator o Grapple/bucket/shear o Water truck o Dust suppression units o Tractor and/or roll-off trucks  Trucks exiting the Site will be directed at the driveway by a flagman. Trucks will be limited to a speed of 10 mph on Arbor Drive. It is anticipated that most trucks will make a left onto King Street to proceed to their final destination.  Removal of foundations and the first floor slab that is located in the area to be filled (i.e., the western portion of the building site) will occur after the building is demolished.  Spreading and compaction of fill in the area of building cut into hill and spreading and seeding of topsoil on slope would be the final segment of Phase 1. If fill and topsoil is brought to the site before completion of demolition, it will be stockpiled on the existing asphalt parking lot and sedimentation control measures will be placed around stockpiles. o This restoration is anticipated to take approximately two weeks. During Week 1, fill would be spread and the subgrade established. During Week 2, topsoil would be spread and raked and the area would be hydroseeded. o Equipment during this phase would be limited to an excavator and a skid loader. It is anticipated that approximately 6 workers would be on-Site during this phase. o No new steep slopes would be created. Rather, the new slope created within the area of the former building footprint would be ‘feathered out’ to the north and south sides of the building footprint, which would actually reduce the amount of steep slopes on the Site.  Removal of site fencing and sediment and erosion controls will occur after the filled area is stabilized and vegetated and all equipment and materials are removed from the Site. C. POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES As discussed in Mark P. Miller’s June 6, 2019 letter accompanying the Application, the potential environmental impacts of demolishing the existing office building were documented as part of the DEIS for the redevelopment of the Project Site. This section of the Draft Demolition Management and Logistics Plan identifies and addresses the potential impacts related to demolition that were identified in the DEIS. Also considered in this section are the comments made with respect to the portions of the DEIS relevant to the building demolition. As shown below, it is the Applicant’s opinion that demolition of the office building would not have a significant adverse impact on the environment. Demolition Management and Logistics Plan 5 7/1/2019 DUST CONTROL As discussed in the DEIS, most dust generated by demolition would be of relatively large particle size and would be expected to settle within a short distance of being generated. To further avoid and minimize potential impacts, demolition of the building would include the following measures, as included in the DEIS and as recommended by the Village’s Special Engineering Consultant, HDR, in their comments on the DEIS:  Use of dust suppression units supplied by water trucks and/or hydrants, if permission is granted by the Fire Department  Covering stockpiled soil to reduce windborne dust  Cleaning the asphalt parking lot and driveway, including the construction entrance  Using truck covers/tarp rollers to cover fully loaded trucks  Utilizing ultra-low sulfur diesel in construction equipment  Prohibiting idling of construction equipment when not in active use  Non-Road diesel engines with a power rating of 50 hp or greater would utilize Best Available Tailpipe (BAT) Reduction Technologies for reducing diesel particulate emissions. Specifically, such equipment would utilize diesel particulate filters (DPFs). NOISE As stated elsewhere in this application, the primary purpose of demolishing the building in the summer is to avoid the potential noise impacts on the operations of the Blind Brook High School and Middle School. During the public comment period on the DEIS, including at the public hearings, numerous comments were received requesting that the Applicant and the Village minimize impacts to School operations by maximizing construction activity during the summer and during periods when school is not in session. Allowing the demolition to occur when school is not in session eliminates the potential for adverse noise impacts to the school from this activity. As such, the Applicant proposes to complete demolition of the building and slab by Wednesday, September 4, 2019. The first day of classes for Blind Brook High School is Thursday, September 5, 2019. Activities related to the regrading and seeding of the area within the building footprint may continue through September. However, these activities do not generate significant noise impacts. In order to minimize adverse impacts to other sensitive receptors (e.g., the Arbors), demolition will adhere to the Village’s time-of-day and day-of-week regulations as stated in Chapter 158 of the Village Code. Specifically, construction equipment that makes an audible noise beyond the property line will be limited to the periods of 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM during weekdays and 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturdays. Demolition activities will not occur on Sundays or holidays. As stated in the DEIS and the pFEIS under review by the Village, during demolitionthe site demolition and ground clearing phase of the overall redevelopment, certain residences along the north side of Ivy Hill Crescent and the south side of Ivy Hill Lane would experience periods of exterior noise levels above the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (NYSDEC) recommended exterior noise levels for residential uses and noise level increases above NYSDEC’s noise increment threshold. These As stated in the pFEIS, the maximum exterior noise level anticipated on the north side of Ivy Hill Crescent during site demolition and ground clearing for the redevelopment of the Site is approximately 70.1 dBA, which is approximately 12.0 dBA above the existing condition. For the townhouses on the south side of Ivy Hill Lane, the maximum 900 King Street 7/1/2019 6 exterior noise level anticipated during demolition and ground clearing would be approximately 65.7 dBA, an increase of approximately 7.6 dBA from the existing conditions. It is important to note a few things about these potential noise levels. First, they are the maximum predicted noise levels that would occur during the most noise-intensive activities. These activities would not occur every day and would not occur during every hour on days when those activities are underway. Second, the maximum predicted noise levels are estimates of aggregate noise levels for the demolition and ground clearing phases. As such, these estimates assumed the worst-case noise scenario with multiple pieces of equipment being used at the same time for demolition and excavation and clearing. This application, however, is limited to the building demolition and would not include other simultaneous ground- or Site-clearing activities. Third, the maximum noise levels are for noise levels exterior to the townhouses. Noise levels interior to the townhouses would be significantly lower than the maximum exterior levels due to the attenuation provided by building walls and windows. In addition, the maximum To further avoid and mitigate potential adverse noise levels would not be constant throughoutimpacts to the Arbors townhouses, the demolition process, nor would they be constant throughout a single day. Rather, they would vary depending onwould begin from the specific areaeast side (e.g., closest to Village Hall) of the building and work its way west. Structural demolition activity and the stage ofwill be performed from within the existing building footprint to both limit disturbance to outside areas, as well as utilize the building as a partial noise barrier as the demolition. progresses. Based on the limited duration of the potential predicted exceedances of NYSDEC noise impact criteria (e.g., approximately 6 weeks for demolition activities), it is the Applicant’s opinion that noise from the demolition of the existing building would not constitute a significant adverse impact to these residences. As shown in the DEIS and the pFEIS, other receptors would not have the potential to experience a significant adverse noise impact from demolition activities. TRAFFIC Construction vehicles will arrive on the site by way of King Street and Arbor Drive. The demolition equipment will remain on-Site for the duration of the work and will be stored on the north side of the existing building away from Arbor Drive, within the area of temporary construction fencing. Tractor trailers entering the Site from Arbor Drive will drive through the construction gate, which would be set back from Arbor Drive within the Site’s driveway. No trucks would queue or stage on Arbor Drive. Once inside the Site, trucks would turn right, into the eastern portion of the parking lot, by passing through another construction gate. The trucks will use this eastern portion of the parking lot to turn around and stage to receive materials. When needed, the trucks would enter the fenced-in area from a second gate into this eastern parking area to receive materials. This configuration would help to minimize the need for trucks to back-up on the Site, which minimizes audible back-up alarms. When loaded, the trucks would drive towards the main gate at the Site’s driveway. At the gate, they would be directed onto Arbor Drive by a flagman and then proceed to King Street. No vehicles will be parked on Arbor Drive or use it to turn around. The number of trucks accessing the Site will vary depending on the stage and pace of demolition. As stated in the DEIS, it is anticipated that there will be an average of 25 trucks per week during the demolition process. On any single day there may be as few as two trucks or as many as sixteen Demolition Management and Logistics Plan 7 7/1/2019 trucks accessing the Site. Truck trips would be spread throughout the day, such that construction truck trips are not anticipated to have ana significant adverse impact at any intersection. As stated in the DEIS, it is anticipated that up to twenty workers may be present on-Site during building demolition. If each construction worker arrived in a separate vehicle during the same hour, the number of trips (20) would be less than the number of trips that entered the existing office building during the traffic counts in 2017 and 2018 in the AM peak hour (34) and exited the site in the PM peak hour (21). Therefore, it is not anticipated that construction worker trips would have a significant adverse impact on area roadways. Additionally, during the summer when school is not in session, traffic on the surrounding roadways, especially in the vicinity of Arbor Drive, is typically lighter than during the school year. This further reduces the potential for an adverse traffic impact from the demolition. Access for Emergency Vehicles As previously stated, there will be no queuing, staging, or parking of vehicles on Arbor Drive during demolition. The relatively small number of construction workers anticipated on-Site combined with the relatively small number of construction trucks is not anticipated to have an adverse impact to the operations of Arbor Drive or King Street. As such, it is not anticipated that there would be an adverse impact on the ability of emergency vehicles to access the Project Site or Arbor Drive as a result of the demolition of the building. Should an unforeseen event occur that has the potential to adversely affect the operation of Arbor Drive, the Applicant would immediately notify the Rye Brook Police Department. EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL Sediment and erosion control practices will be installed in accordance with Chapter 118 of the Village Code and NYSDEC Standards and Specifications, as described in the DEIS and depicted on the submitted site plans. These practices would be installed prior to, and maintained throughout, the demolition process. At the outset, silt fencing would be installed on the down gradient edge of disturbed areas parallel to existing or proposed contours. Built-up sediment would be removed from silt fences when it has reached one-third the height of the fence or a bulge in the fence has been identified and the sediment would be properly disposed. Storm drain inlet protection (e.g., silt sacks) will be installed at inlets where the surrounding area will be disturbed. Built-up sediment would be removed from silt sacks when it reaches 50-percent of its capacity. Any stockpiled soil brought in to fill and re-grade the western portion of the building footprint would be protected, stabilized, and sited in accordance with the plans and details shown on the submitted site plans. Demolition debris will be stored within the fenced area on the existing parking lot north of the building. This area is removed from Arbor Drive as well as removed from potentially environmentally sensitive areas (e.g., wetlands). STEEP SLOPES Demolition of the existing building, and re-grading of the area within the footprint of the western portion of the building, would disturb a small area of steep slopes immediately to the north and south of the existing building. The potential impacts of this disturbance would be avoided and minimized through implementation of erosion and sediment controls as shown on the demolition site plans and as required by Chapter 118 of the Village Code and NYSDEC Standards and 900 King Street 7/1/2019 8 Specifications. The area within the footprint of the western portion of the building would be regraded to match the existing adjacent grades. However, no new steep slopes would be created. In fact, the area of steep slope disturbance would be limited to those areas where the new grade would be ‘feathered’ in to the existing slopes, thereby reducing the area of steep slopes on the Site. The Site Plan requires approval of a Steep Slope permit from the Village’s Planning Board. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS A survey of the building for suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-containing paint (LCP), and PCB caulk was performed and documented in a report that was shared with the Village. Cork flooring and associated mastic, exterior waterproofing, and exterior pipe elbows tar were determined to be ACM. ACM will be removed in accordance New York State regulations prior to demolition. All work with the potential to disturb LCP will be performed in accordance with OSHA regulations. PCB caulk samples were all non-detect for total PCBs. VIBRATION As stated in the DEIS and the pFEIS, demolition of the building will occur at least ± 250 feet from the nearest residences within the Arbors. and at least ± 1,000 feet from the Tennessee Gas Pipeline. At this distance, vibrations from building demolition would be expected to be imperceptible and would not have the potential to result in architectural or structural damage, even to a structure that was extremely susceptible to damage from vibration. Similarly, demolition will occur at least ± 1,000 feet from the Tennessee Gas Pipeline. At this distance, vibration from building demolition would be expected to be well below the threshold of damage to even a structure extremely susceptible to damage from vibration.For reference, the New York City Building Code requires structural assessment and monitoring for historic structures, which are assumed to be the most susceptible to potential damage from vibration, when those structures are within 90 feet of construction work. Therefore, demolition of the building would not have the potential to result in a significant adverse impact from vibration to the Arbors or the Tennessee Gas Pipeline. Nevertheless, the Applicant has proposed a vibration monitoring program in the vicinity of the Arbors community and the Tennessee Gas pipeline during demolition of the existing office building. This program would include continuous vibration monitoring. In the event of an exceedance of a pre-established threshold, an alert would be sent to members of the project team. TREE REMOVAL Demolition of the existing office building will require the removal of one Village-regulated tree— number 155 on the tree survey, a 20-inch dbh tree. Three other non-Village-regulated trees, each 6-inch dbh, that were surveyed (numbers 152, 153, and 154) will also require removal. These trees are located to the south of the existing building. Chapter 235 of the Village Code requires that one tree be planted to mitigate the removal of the 20-inch dbh tree. The Applicant is proposing to plant four (4) 3- to 3 ½- caliper trees and 16 shrubs to mitigate for the removal of these trees. The trees and shrubs would be planted within the Wetland A buffer in areas that are not proposed to be disturbed by any of the redevelopment alternatives currently under review by the Village. Demolition Management and Logistics Plan 9 7/1/2019 In addition, at least two existing trees are located within approximately 15 feet of the western end of the existing office building. These trees will not be removed. Tree protection, in accordance with Chapter 235 of the Village Code, will be installed prior to demolition activities occurring near these trees. During Phase 2 of the demolition, the Applicant will protect trees within the existing parking areas and attempt to integrate them into the meadow landscape. WATERS AND WETLANDS There would be no direct or indirect adverse impacts to the Site’s wetlands or surface water features from the Project. Approximately 0.025 acres of the northwest corner of the existing office building is within 100- feet of Wetland A. Phase 1 would remove the building in its entirety. The area within the footprint of the western side of the building (i.e., the 2-story portion of the building ‘up’ the hill) would be vegetated upon the building’s removal. As a result, Phase 1 would result in the conversion of 0.025 acres of impervious surface within the Wetland A buffer to vegetated, permeable habitat. In the Applicant’s opinion, this would be a beneficial impact to the Site’s wetland buffers. Phase 2, would remove the remaining portion of the building slab and the entire asphalt parking lot. Approximately 0.782 acres of concrete and asphalt within the existing parking lot are located within 100-feet of on-Site wetlands and waterbodies. After removal of the building slab and parking lot, the area would be revegetated with grassy vegetation to match the surrounding vegetation. In the Applicant’s opinion, removing 0.782 acres of existing impervious surfaces (e.g., parking lot) within the Site’s wetland buffers would be a beneficial impact to the Site’s wetland buffers. In the Applicant’s opinion, there would be no adverse impacts to the Site’s wetland buffers from the Project. Rather, the Project would have a beneficial impact to the Site’s wetland buffers in that on-Site impervious surfaces within the wetland buffers would be removed and restored to a permeable and vegetated condition. The Site Plan requires the approval of a Wetland Permit from the Village’s Planning Board for the removal of impervious surfaces within the 100-feet of on-Site wetlands. As part of this permit, it is anticipated that the Planning Board will require mitigation for the demolition work. The Applicant has proposed to accomplish the necessary mitigation off-Site in a manner approved by the Village Engineer. HEALTH AND SAFETY Demolition activities will be undertaken in accordance with New York State and Village of Rye Brook regulations. Workers on-Site will be required to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). COORDINATION WITH THE VILLAGE AND INTERESTED AGENCIES The Applicant has engaged AP Construction, a regional leader in construction and construction management, to oversee the Site demolition. In addition, the Applicant has retained Miwec Asset Recovery, Inc., a regional leader in demolition contracting, to perform the building demolition. Prior to the commencement of demolition of the existing building, the Applicant would notify the following entities of the approximate start date of the demolition. The Applicant would also notify these entities in the event of an unforeseen event or activity that has the potential to materially alter the process or means by which demolition is anticipated to occur or that may have a significant adverse impact on Arbor Drive or the surrounding area: 900 King Street 7/1/2019 10  Village of Rye Brook Building Department, Police Department, and Fire Department  Village of Rye Brook Parks and Recreation Department  Blind Brook School District (office of the Superintendent)  Arbors Homeowners’ Association (HOA President or designee). 11 7/1/2019 D. REFERENCED MATERIALS The potential environmental impacts of demolishing the existing office building were documented in the environmental review of the application to redevelop the Project Site.
