o Furthermore, as stated above, our equipment operators and field personnel are OSHA certified and have completed the HAZWOPER training. . Hazarllous Waste ami Waste Spills Reporting Upon occurrence and when applicable, AshSritt will report to the City all identified hazardous materials or any hazardous waste spills. We will fully remediate and clean all hazardous materials or waste spills that occur during operations at no additional cost to the City. We will take immediate containment actions, as necessary, to minimize the effects of any spills or leaks. These activities will be in full accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. AshSritt will report any and all spills to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the City immediately following discovery. We will then submit a written follow-up report to the City no later than 7 days after the initial report. The written report, at a minimum, will include the following: · Description of the material spilled (including identity, quantity, manifest number, etc.). · Determination as to whether or not the amount spilled is EPA/FDEP reportable, and when and to whom it was reported. · Exact time and location of spill, including description of the area involved. · Receiving stream or waters. · Cause of incident and equipment and personnel involved. · Injuries or property damage. · Duration of discharge. · Containment procedures initiated. · Summary of all communications the Contractor has had with press, agencies, or government officials other than City. Description of cleanup procedures employed or to be employed at the site, including disposal location of spill residue. o . Hazardous Stumps Extraction and Fill Dirt All uprooted, eligible stumps on public right-of-ways larger than 24 inches in diameter measured 24 inches in height above ground including the root ball, identified as hazardous by the City, will be removed, loaded and transported to the TDSRS. A OM or representative will inspect the stump and measure the diameter above the root ball. The stump measurement, specific point of origin (GPS coordinates), and any notes by the OM indicating the nature of the stump hazard must be added to the special stump load ticket for proper documentation. A photographic record is encouraged. Proper documentation for eligible hazardous stumps is paramount for FEMA reimbursement. AshSritt will strictly comply with FEMA Recovery Policy - RP95 23.11, Hazardous Stump Extraction and Removal Eligibility, with respects to all hazardous stump removal from approved property. Our specialized crews will typically consist of heavy loading equipment (i.e., wheel loader, backhoe, crane, etc.), a lowboy trailer and a dump truck holding fill material. Voids created by stump extractions will be filled with comparable and suitable material, usually purchased locally. Ruts and depressions inadvertently caused by contractor equipment and voids created by stump removals will be filled with suitable material and reasonably compacted to grade. For our Mississippi mission, alone, we extracted approximately 24,000 hazardous stumps, while backfilling over 40,000 voids. . Hazardous Leaning Trees and Hanging Limbs Hazardous leaning trees on public right-of-ways will be identified, measured (diameter), and documented by the City. Crews will saw-cut as necessary to trim and truncate such trees to facilitate loading. Leaning trees on private property that are encroaching onto the ROW will be saw-cut at the private property when safe to do so. Only the encroaching portion will be removed. Hazardous trees on private property posing an immediate threat will be addressed on a per case basis. Under an executed waiver and hold harmless agreement, we will remove trees and limbs that have fallen on homes or are threatening to fall on homes as a result of a disaster. Hazardous hanging limbs ("hangers") on trees located in the ROW will be identified and documented by the City similarly. Generally, hangers are surveyed, located, assessed and logged for a special deployment of crews comprised of bucket trucks and climbers with chain saws and all necessary personal protection equipment. We will provide sufficient field supervision and quality control for this phase of work. o This phase of work will be conducted in an orderly progression, and we will not move from one designated area to AshBritl, Inc.
