Demolition Quietly Begins at Mill in Bucksport, Maine

By Charles EichackerThe ellsworTh AmericAn

The wrecking balls are not swinging yet, but demolition isgetting under way at the mill property on river road inBucksport, maine.

Aim Development, the U.s. subsidiary of a canadianscrap metal recycler, bought the shuttered mill from VersoPaper corp. last winter and received its demolition permitfrom the town in late november. in september, it received ademo permit from the state Department of environmentalProtection (DeP).

with the red tape behind it, the company plans to takedown 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 townoffice. Filling a large, loose leaf binder, it is a chunky docu-ment that provides a blueprint for the work that will takeplace on the 123-acre mill site.

early this week, the only evidence that work was begin-ning was a backhoe operating at the property’s southwesterncorner, near where papermaking took place.

it’s also where the first phase of Aim’s demolition willtake place. once those buildings are torn down, demo crewswill move on to a strip of buildings where pulping occurred.The last phase will see the removal of a wastewater treatmentplant 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 ofwhom 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 thatruns between Bucksport and Bangor. it will be disposed of ateither the crossroads landfill in norridgewock or theJuniper ridge landfill in old Town.

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

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

State of the Railseveral cars have derailed from that track in recent years,

and on at least one occasion papermaking chemicals spilledinto the Penobscot river as a result.

officials from both Aim and Pan Am railways, the com-pany that owns the rail line, have said the track was inspect-ed last summer and deemed to be safe. Along with debrisremoved from the mill site, the rail also will carry environ-mental waste removed from the holtrachem site.

“our current plan is to run to Bucksport once a week untilthe snow stops us,” cynthia scarano, Pan Am executive vicepresident, wrote in an email last month. “we will resume inthe spring.”

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

The Federal railroad Administration, not the maineDepartment of Transportation (mDoT), regulates rail linesaround the country.

Because of that, nate moulton, director of mDoT’s railprogram, declined to speak about the specific line betweenBucksport and Bangor. he said in general, however, it’s usu-ally the railroad owner, in this case Pan Am, that assumes lia-bility in the case of accidents.

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

Stocking the right equipment, preparing it at various loca-tions and having dependable employees on standby are threereasons George Sarris survived the worst winter in Boston’shistory. During winter of 2014-2015, Boston, Mass., brokean all-time season snow record — which meant lots of workfor snow removal specialists.

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

Sarris was introduced to Doosan wheel loaders more thanthree years ago when he began renting them to handle largesnow removal tasks. It turned out so well that he purchasedhis first Doosan wheel loaders for the following winter. “Ibought two Doosan wheel loaders after I had a successfulwinter because they are productive machines,” Sarris said.“The quality of the machines is whatimpressed me. They do an excellent job ofremoving snow, and the cab is roomy andcomfortable for the operators.

“In the snow removal industry, you have tohave good equipment to be able to do thework,” he said. “You have to have dependablemachines and you have to do a good job. Anykind of edge you can get is a good thing.”

Sarris and his equipment operators clearsnow from large municipal parking lots, big-box home improvement stores, area shoppingmalls and even a few residential neighbor-hoods. To handle bulk snow removal, Sarrishas purchased five Doosan wheel loaders.“The Doosan DL200-3 and DL200TC-3 arethe perfect size for me,” he said. “The DL200-3 wheel loader with a bucket can easily han-dle the snow.”

Altogether, Sarris has 40 pieces of equip-

ment, including trucks, some with saltand sand spreaders in the cargobox and plows on the front. Heowns four Bobcat skid-steer loadersand snow-removal attachments toclear snow from areas where his larg-er machines and trucks can’t fit.

Strategic planningSarris believes in planning for snow storms,

having his equipment ready and employees oncall, available to respond quickly after a storm. “I havemy 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. Ihave dedicated

employees at certainlocations and they go to

work as soon as they can.” Many of his employeesare laid off from other jobs in winter months due to season-al employment. “I have a lot of work in winter, so I keepthem busy.”

Commercial centers want their parking lotsfree 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 asclear as possible before employees and cus-tomers start arriving. “We try to clear as muchas we can before the stores open, dependingon the timing of the snow event,” heexplained. “We do a lot of our work afterhours and in the early morning. When you getsnow early in the morning and the store has toopen at 7 a.m., you need to move quickly.

“We had a crazy winter this past year.There were several big snowstorms. It was atest on a lot of our equipment and our mentalabilities; 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 ofthat snow and little room to put it, Sarris hadto think outside of the box.

“We hauled some of it on site and stock-piled it,” he said. “In Watertown, we joinedforces with another company that has a snowmelter and we melted the snow from an entireparking lot.”

Snow removal can be a challenging busi-ness because of the unpredictability of thework. Unlike planned construction job sites,Sarris has to be prepared 24/7 in winter torespond to a storm. “When the big snow-storms strike, you need to get things donequickly. If you don’t have the right equip-ment, you are not going to keep up.”

Mancini said. “It will be wider with two lanes of traffic.We’ve already started doing some of the work under thebridge. About the middle of April, we’ll close the bridge andput traffic on a temporary bridge already built.”The work began in the fall of 2014 with underground util-

ities installed in underground conduits along Stowe Street tofacilitate the demolition of the bridges. In 2015, decks on thenorthbound and southbound bridges were replaced by crewswith 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, whichthey did and they earned their bonuses. The idea is to com-plete the third bridge next year and hopefully they will getthat bonus as well.”Equipment on the site includes a Caterpillar 336 excava-

tor and a Caterpillar 329 excavator. “We’re using those forremoving the deck and doing dirt work. On 46a, the bridgeramp, the footings are down. They went 28 ft. (8.53 m) deep,so we needed that large excavator, but we still couldn’t reachthe bottom, so we had to have a mini-excavator to reach thebottom.”The biggest challenge, Mancini said, was traffic. “This is

the Stowe resort ski town,” he said. Everyone gets off at thisexit 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 bumperon Route 100.”To alleviate that traffic congestion during construction,

crews divided the interstate, a first for Vermont, Mancinisaid.“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 oftraffic getting off, through-traffic could still flow. This wasnever 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 werehaving issue.”The new bridge ramp will be built with two piers and three

spans with continuous steel girders and expansion joints atthe ends only,” according to the VDOT press release on theproject. “Reducing the number of expansion joints on theramp bridge will reduce the potential for leaking at expan-sion 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 com-pleted by October 2017, Mancini said.

N.H. Court Rejects Challengesto Auto Dealer Protection LawCONCORD, N.H. (AP) New

Hampshire’s Supreme Court on Dec. 29rejected most challenges to the state’s AutoDealers Bill of Rights law, which wasexpanded to include manufacturers of trac-tors and yard and garden equipment.John Deere and other farm and heavy

equipment managers said the law loopingthem into protections designed for automo-bile and truck dealers unconstitutionallyinterferes with their equipment dealer con-tracts. They said they were improperlylumped in with auto manufacturers.The state argued the law is a merger of

regulations that dealt separately with auto-mobile manufacturers and farm and tractormanufacturers. It bars manufacturers fromterminating contracts with dealers withoutjust cause, limits mandatory upgrades tofacilities and requires proper reimbursementfor warranty work done by dealers.The state rejected most of the equipment

manufacturers’ arguments that the law vio-lates state and federal contract clauses, orthat it is discriminatory. It sent back one chal-

lenge raised by Husqvarna to a lower courtjudge. That questioned whether the statepassed legislation that improperly burdens ordiscriminates against interstate commerce.When she signed the bill into law in 2013,

Gov. Maggie Hassan said it leveled the play-ing field between manufacturers and dealers.A judge barred it from taking effect afterDeere and others filed suit.“On behalf of the tens of thousands of

people who work for franchised automotivedealerships around New Hampshire, I sin-cerely hope this is the final legal fight overthis important law,” said Peter McNamara,president of the New HampshireAutomobile Dealers Association. “In onefashion or another, these laws are on thebooks in virtually every other state in thecountry, and this is an unwarranted interrup-tion of basic rights for those who work inNew Hampshire’s auto, truck and farmequipment sales business every day.”
