Geographic Area Management Every area has its own unique geographic characteristics that define the layout of the land. Consisting of an urban area, smaller municipalities, and rural areas nestled in a geographic region offers some challenges to the successful completion of the disaster recovery mission. Traffic is always an issue that needs to be addressed when working in and around waterways. Bridges are natural bottlenecks, and as our experience has taught us, the less they are used during the transportation of the debris, the better the flow will be. Ceres is well aware that our disaster recovery work is not the only activity utilizing the transportation system. Through the selection of strategically located TDSRS, our haul trucks should have minimal impact on these areas, as the haul zones are designed to keep the trucks working close to each TDSRS. In the successful completion of our Hurricane Katrina disaster recovery operation in Louisiana, we worked with all of these geographical characteristics and traffic never became an issue because the zone design and TDSRS locations worked together as intended. All impact sensitive areas, such as waterways, parks, forest land, and reserves will be dealt with in an environmentally appropriate manner. TEMPORARY DEBRIS STORAGE AND REDUCTION SITES (TDSRS) Ceres will utilize the TDSRS identified by the City. In the event that additional sites are required, Ceres will work closely with the City to secure leasing agreements and permitting for additional facilities. The state or local environmental authority would be notified and the required information submitted by Ceres. Ceres will provide sufficient equipment and personnel to process, by burning (if allowable) or grinding, a minimum of 210 cubic yards of debris per hour per crew. Each TDSRS would generally include the following equipment: · One Tub Grinder, Diamond Z 1463, and/or Air Curtain Incinerator · Two Backhoes with grapples · One Wheel Loader with rake · One Wheel Loader with a light materials bucket for loading mulch · One Maintenance Truck · One Water Truck · One Road Grader (optional) · One Inspection Tower · One Hazardous Materials Containment Area · One Foreman with cell phone · Four walking floor trucks (120cubic yards) for hauling mulch · Additional Equipment as determined by the Contract and Site Manager One operator will be assigned site maintenance duties and will operate the Motor Grader, Water Truck, and Low-bed Trailer. This operator's primary duty is to ensure use of the roads by the dump trucks, and maintain dust and fire control. The Loader with blade will have intermittent general site maintenance duties and will keep areas around the burn pits, ash storage, and grinding areas clean. For each TDSRS, a hazardous materials containment area will be constructed by Ceres and will measure approximately 30' x 30'. Typically, the perimeter will be lined with hay bales and staked in place. The area is lined with heavy gauge plastic (10 mil or greater) to provide a waterproof barrier. A 10 mil or greater plastic cover is used to cover the area to prevent rain from entering the containment. Site run-off is redirected from the containment area by site grading. Hazardous materials, if any, that are encountered during clean up operations shall be staged in this area and shall be properly disposed of in a timely manner.
