3.7.3 New York Upland Routes Evaluated the Submarine Exhibit 3 - Alternative Analysis January 2008 (Revised March 2009) The cable will travel south along (or near) the CSX railroad ROW to the intersection of the CSX railroad ROW and the NYS&W railroad ROW. The cable will then travel east along the NYS&W railroad ROW to the west portal entrance of the abandoned 92nd Street tunnel and then travel through the tunnel under the Palisade Sill. From the east portal of the tunnel, the cable will cross under New River Road in Edgewater, NJ to the landfall location adjacent to the Hudson River. The cable route to the River will be under the parking lot at the southern end of the Edgewater Commons shopping center. 3.7.3 New York Upland Routes Evaluated Since it was determined that the most feasible landfall location in NY was to make landfall between Piers 92 and 94, with HDD operations and a transition point within W 52nd Street, the selection of the upland route to the W 49th Street Substation is driven by the maximum bending radius of the land-based cable. HTP's cable contractor has determined that the cable is capable of making a "hairpin" bend from the transition and splicing location on W 52nd Street back over to 12th Avenue and then south to the Substation. This configuration minimizes construction impacts to City streets. Without the ability to make the bend on W. 52nd Street, the alternative route would be for the cable to continue east on W 52nd street, south on 11th Avenue, west on W 51st Street, and then south on 12th Avenue to the entrance of the ConEd W 49th Street Substation. This alternative, though feasible, would result in an extended construction schedule and corresponding impacts to pedestrian and vehicular traffic. 3.8 Hudson River Alternative Route Evaluations and Siting Criteria The submarine component of the route enabling the cable to cross the Hudson River and connect the preferred NJ landfall to the preferred NY landfall was identified and selected as described below. Prior to determining that a submarine component to the Project was necessary, HTP considered using existing transportation tunnels to transit beneath the river. However, the PATH, Holland and Lincoln tunnels are all actively utilized for transportation and are not available to accommodate additional cable infrastructure. 3.8.1 Criteria for Selection of Submarine Cable Route The following criteria were used for selection of the submarine cable route: • Minimize overall cable length in order to minimize electrical losses, environmental impacts and costs; n Minimize navigational impacts to waterborne commerce by avoiding installation in heavily utilized corridors, channels and anchorage and mooring areas; n Minimize impacts to navigation in established Federal Channels and other vessel corridors, and in berthing areas; n Minimize the crossing impacts associated with established vessel anchorages, mooring areas, fish trap devices, and existing submarine infrastructure such as cables, pipelines etc; • Avoid or minimize environmental impacts to aquatic resources, including known submerged historical resources; and Copyright © ESS Group, Inc., 2008 Page 3-13 (revised) j:\h149-000hudson crossing\permitting\article vii\final\revisions\exhibit revisions\exhibit 3 alternatives_revised031309.doc EXHIBIT E-2 - OTHER FACILITIES This Exhibit describes other facilities that will be part of the Project. In addition to the cable system, the Project will include an underground Equipment Vault on W. 52nd Street, a temporary splice pit, and cable terminations within the Con Edison West 49th Street Substation. E-2.1 Transition Point, Equipment Vault and AC Interconnection A Transition Point will be excavated in W 52nd Street to facilitate transition between the Submarine Cable and Upland Cable. West of this excavation will be an equipment vault of approximately 60 feet by 20 feet which will house the dielectric fluid feed system and protective enclosures. The Transition Point will be a temporary excavation for the purpose of splicing the marine-based cable to the Upland cable and will be filled after the splicing work is completed. This excavation and the adjacent Equipment Vault will be located under the sidewalk and street on the north side of 52nd street. Figure E2-1 shows the approximate location of the Transition Point and the vault. The final vault dimensions will depend upon several factors and will be finalized prior to filing the EM&CP. The vault will be designed and installed in compliance with City code requirements and pursuant to a permit from NYC DOT. The AC Interconnection to the NYISO Grid will take place within the ConEd West 49th Street Substation. The Upland Cable will enter the West 49th Street Substation on its west side through an existing subsurface wall penetration located under the building's 12th Ave. pedestrian entrance. E-2.2 Design and Installation Details The Transition/Splice excavation and the Equipment Vault and its components will be designed, constructed, and installed by Prysmian Power Cable Systems LLC ("Prysmian") and will conform to applicable ANSI standards for 345 kV electrical equipment and the requirements of the National Electric Safety Code. The AC Interconnection will also be designed, constructed, and installed by Prysmian in close coordination with ConEd and HTP. The details of the AC Interconnection will be provided in the Facilities Study that will be performed pursuant to the requirements of the NYISO OATT. The majority of the construction activities are expected to take place during daylight hours. Dewatering is not expected to be required; however, if dewatering is required, resulting discharges will be properly monitored and treated according to applicable standards. The HDD contractor will require use of a hydrant as a water source during the drilling operation. The drilling fluid will be contained within the drill pit and drilling spoils (rock chips and earth) will be removed from the drilling fluid recycling equipment and properly disposed of. Existing roadways are expected to be suitable for delivery of materials and construction equipment to the Site. If however, following further engineering design and location of all existing utilities, the final route layout should require the need for any temporary road closures, these will be detailed in the EM&CP. All work will be performed under the supervision of Prysmian. Construction tasks will include but not be limited to site and access preparation, installation of appropriate construction Copyright © ESS Group, Inc., 2008 Page E-2-1 (revised) j:\h149-000hudson crossing\permitting\article vii\final\revisions\exhibit revisions\exhibit e-2 other facilities_clean4_revisedO31309.doc EXHIBIT E-6 - EFFECTS ON TRANSPORTATION This Exhibit describes the existing transportation system in the New York portion of the Project Area and the potential impacts and mitigation measures resulting from construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project. Information included in this Exhibit is based on review of existing published data and limited field investigation. Roadway, rail, air, and waterborne transportation in the New York portion of the Project Area are described below. Once in operation, the Project will not affect transportation. During construction, vehicle traffic on the nearby roads and streets and Hudson River navigation will be impacted in confined areas and for limited time periods. The Project will not impact either rail or air transportation resources. E-6.1 Roadway Transportation E-6.1.1 Existing Conditions The New York upland route and associated components of the Project will be located within a limited part of Manhattan's West Side. The New York City (NYC) roadways bounding the Project site include 12th Avenue (West Side Highway) to the west, and W 52nd Street to the north. The network of roadways in the area is shown in Figure E6-1. Twelfth Avenue (also known as West Side Highway and New York State Route 9A) serves as the primary arterial providing access to the area and to the Con Edison W 49th Street Substation. In the vicinity of the Project, 12th Avenue is an at-grade eight (8) lane arterial roadway (four lanes in each direction) with a median divider. A parking lane is located along the east side of the northbound lanes. Traffic signals are located at the intersections of 12th Avenue with W 49th, W 50th, W 51St and W 52nd streets. W 52nd Street is an at-grade three (3) lane roadway with one-way traffic in an easterly direction. The two outer lanes are used for parking. Traffic signals are located at the intersections of W 52nd with 11th and 12th Avenues. An elevated access road adjacent to the NYCEDC pier area is located between 12th Avenue and the Hudson River, extending from Pier 88 to Pier 92. Access ramps are located to the north of W 52nd Street and to the south of W 48th Street. At-grade parking is available beneath the elevated access road. Many of these roadways have been recently resurfaced or reconstructed and therefore are included in NYC's list of protected streets and intersections. These roadways are to remain protected for five years upon completion of the construction. Installation of the cable on these roadways would require authorization from the NYCDOT Commissioner during their respective "protected" periods. Protected roadways in the vicinity of the Project include the following: n 11th Avenue, from W 45th Street to W 55th Street, protected until 11/09/08; n W 45th Street, from 11th Avenue to 12th Avenue, protected until 11/01/08; Copyright © ESS Group, Inc., 2008 Page E-6-1 (revised) j:\h149-000hudson crossing\permitting\article vii\final\revisions\exhibit revisions\exhibit e-6 effects on transportation_revised03l3O9.doc Exhibit E-6 - Effects on Transportation January 2008 (Revised March 2009) in accordance with permits obtained from the NYSDOT for 12"' Avenue, and from New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) for W 52nd Street.

  • Chapter 3: Construction Methods and Activities
    Chapter 3: Construction Methods and Activities 3.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter describes the construction methods and activities for the Hudson Tunnel Project’s Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative has two overarching components: (1) the construction of a new trans-Hudson tunnel (the Hudson River Tunnel) and associated surface and rail system improvements; and (2) the rehabilitation of the existing North River Tunnel. To ensure that the passenger rail system continues to operate at existing service levels during construction, the new tunnel would be constructed and put into operation before the rehabilitation of the North River Tunnel occurs. The Project Sponsor that will advance the Project through final design and construction, including compliance with mitigation measures, has not yet been identified. The Project Sponsor may include one or more of the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ), the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ TRANSIT), and/or another entity that has not yet been determined. This chapter provides an overview of the likely construction methods that would be used for the Preferred Alternative, a discussion of locations where construction would occur, and a description of the potential sequencing and schedule for construction. For the new Hudson River Tunnel, this includes construction of surface tracks in New Jersey from Secaucus to the new tunnel portal in North Bergen; a new tunnel consisting of two tracks in two separate tubes beneath the Palisades, the Hudson River, and the waterfront area in Manhattan; and track modifications near Penn Station New York (PSNY) in Manhattan; and construction of ventilation shafts and fan plants in both Hoboken and Manhattan.1 The rehabilitation of the North River Tunnel includes conventional demolition and construction methods to replace tunnel elements and rail systems.

  • Executive Summary
    Executive Summary A. INTRODUCTION The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), proposes to reconstruct a portion of Route 9A between Chambers and West Thames Streets in Lower Manhattan. This area is being considered for reconstruction as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, that destroyed the World Trade Center (WTC) and severely damaged or destroyed additional nearby structures and transportation infrastructure including portions of Route 9A. The proposed project, which is being reviewed under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as a supplement to the 1994 Route 9A Reconstruction Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), is one of several federally funded Lower Manhattan recovery projects proposed in response to the devastation of September 11, 2001. As a transportation cornerstone in this recovery effort, the project is intended to provide a safe and efficient transportation facility that meets the goals and objectives established for Route 9A, prior to and since September 11, 2001. The proposed project takes into consideration the redevelopment efforts in Lower Manhattan; specifically, those at the WTC Site. These other initiatives have resulted in a new set of existing and future conditions, such as the WTC Memorial, which could not be foreseen in the 1994 FEIS. Therefore, while the project’s goals and objectives from the 1994 FEIS still apply, they have been updated and expanded to reflect this new set of conditions. B. PROJECT IDENTIFICATION / LOCATION Located near the Hudson River between Battery Place and 59th Street in Manhattan (see Figure S-1), Route 9A (also known as West Street) is a six- to eight-lane principal urban arterial with a continuous bikeway and walkway.

  • Chapter 24: Final Section 4(F) Evaluation
    Chapter 24: Final Section 4(f) Evaluation 24.1 INTRODUCTION This Final Section 4(f) Evaluation evaluates and documents the Hudson Tunnel Project (the Project) in terms of its compliance with the requirements of Section 4(f) as codified at 23 USC 138 and 49 USC 303.1 Section 4(f) governs the use of land from publicly owned parks, recreation areas, and wildlife and waterfowl refuges and publicly or privately owned significant historic sites (collectively, Section 4(f) properties) that may be affected by projects approved or funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT). The requirements of Section 4(f) apply to the operating administrations of USDOT, including the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). FRA has made revisions to this Section 4(f) Evaluation since completion of the Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation for the Hudson Tunnel Project in 2017: • FRA updated the information on parks in proximity to the Preferred Alternative to include one additional park in New Jersey. • FRA added new information to reflect a new construction option in the discussion of proposed construction activities for the Preferred Alternative in Hudson River Park in New York. • For Hudson River Park in New York, the Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation described that FRA anticipated that the proposed construction activities for the Preferred Alternative would qualify as an exception from Section 4(f) as a temporary occupancy of land that would be so minimal as not to constitute a Section 4(f) use. Based on continuing analyses of proposed construction activities in Hudson River Park and consultation with the official with jurisdiction for that park, the Hudson River Park Trust (HRPT), FRA has concluded that the proposed construction activities would result in a use of that Section 4(f) property.
