Vegetation is the most difficult to estimate due to the random sizes and shapes of trees and shrubbery. Based on historical events, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has established a few rules of thumb in forecasting and estimating vegetative debris. • Treat debris piles as a cube, not a cone, when estimating • 15 trees, 8 inches in diameter = 40 cy (average) • One acre of debris, 3.33 yards high = 16,117 cy Volume — Weight Conversion Factors These factors to convert woody debris from cubic yards to tons are considered reasonable and were developed by USACE. Softwoods.....................................................6 cubic yards = 1 ton Hardwoods.....................................................4 cubic yards = 1 ton Mixed debris..................................................4 cubic yards = 1 ton C&D...............................................................2 cubic yards = 1 ton Several truckloads will be tested to verify these conversion factors in the field. Certified Trucks should be well loaded, contain woody debris typical of that being removed, and truck capacities should be verified. Certified Trucks will only be utilized for Disaster debris hauling and will be certified by the Debris Project Manager, and / or Debris Removal Contractor(s), Debris Monitoring Contractor. Tracking Documentation and Reimbursement: From Day I Documentation is critical. DP&O will utilize our TRKRTM Automated Debris Management System (ADMS) to auto generate e-tickets, prepare detail load ticket input, track quantities, locations with mapping for all debris operations. (ROW to DMS, ROW to Disposal, Leaner/Hanger/Stumps, and other debris hazards) including certifying all equipment used. In the event manual tickets are requested by the client, DP&O will also provide a data entry/data manager to load tickets to track and document the removal and management of all Eligible Debris. DP&O ensures that all load tickets meet the requirements of FEMA and other Federal or State reimbursement agencies. In the event the client or debris removal contractor request ticket copies we have portable printers stationed at the DMS site to print tickets. Additionally, any other type of manual ticket (Debris Removal, Disposal Voucher number) is logged via TRKRTM as an alternate ticket number and photocopied with the corresponding load ticket. All Disposal tickets are also maintained in TRKRTm with the corresponding load ticket. DP&O will provide client access user log ins to TRKRTM to view Debris Operations or documents at any time. Ongoing QAQC of Filed Data being collected: DP&O prides ourselves with flawless debris removal data and documentation and our QAQC team assigned to each client reviews daily the monitor debris data being collected to check for typos, photos clarity and or other data that needs to be corrected on the spot. 45 36
