<br />.... <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />. HHW may be generated as a result of a natural disaster. HHW may consist of common <br />household chemicals, propane tanks, oxygen bottles, batteries, and industrial and <br />agricultural chemicals. These items will be mixed into the debris stream and will require <br />close attention throughout the debris removal and disposal process. <br />. Salvageable hazardous materials will be collected and segregated based on their <br />intended use. Properly trained personnel, provided by Complete Environmental, will <br />accomplish removal of all hazardous waste. Cleanup actions will meet or exceed all <br />local, state, and federal regulations. <br />. HHW debris will be identified and removed prior to the building demolition. Personnel <br />provided by Complete Environmental will identify and remove all HHW. <br />. A separate staging area for HHW materials, contaminated soil, and contaminates debris <br />will be necessary and will be established at each TDSR site. The staging area will be <br />lined with an impermeable material and bermed to prevent contamination of the <br />groundwater and surrounding area. Materials will be removed and disposed of using <br />qualified HHW personnel provided by Complete Environmental in accordance with all <br />local, state, and federal regulations. <br /> <br />TEMPORARY DEBRIS STORAGE AND REDUCTION SITES <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />. Once the debris is removed from the damaged area, it will be taken to temporary debris <br />storage and reduction sites. <br />. Removal and debris actions will be handled expeditiously and safely. Equipment and <br />personnel will be provided per the magnitude of the event. <br />. SITE PREPARATION: The topography and soil conditions will be evaluated to determine <br />the best site layout. Ways to make the remediation and restoration easier will be <br />considered. <br />. SITE OPERATIONS: Site operation will be in accordance with FEMA guidelines, in <br />addition to local, state, and federal guidelines. <br />. Lined temporary storage areas for ash, HHW, fuels, and other materials that can <br />contaminate soil, surface water and groundwater will be established if necessary. If <br />possible, plastic liners will be used under stationary equipment such as generators and <br />mobile lighting plants. <br />. If the site is also an equipment staging area, fuel and equipment repair will be <br />monitored to prevent and mitigate spills such as petroleum products and hydraulic <br />fluids. Appropriate measures will be taken in the event of such spills. <br />. TAG Grinding Services, Inc. is constantly aware of things that might irritate neighbors of <br />the TDSR sites. Proper construction and operation of incineration pits will be necessary <br />to ensure low smoke. Water trucks will be employed to lower dust. Perimeter berms <br />will be constructed to lower noise. Proper layout of ingress and egress procedures will <br />be mandatory to help traffic flow. <br /> <br />DEBRIS REDUCTION METHODS <br /> <br />Volume Reduction by Incineration <br />The following are various incineration methods, which may be used if deemed preferable by City officials. <br />Although incineration methods can be used, TAG prefers grinding and chipping methods as the <br />preferable methods of debris reduction due to environmental recycling issues. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />· There are several incineration methods available including uncontrolled open <br />incineration, controlled open incineration, air curtain incineration, and refractor line pit <br />incineration. TAG will work will City officials to implement the most appropriate method <br />if incineration is requested as part of the overall reduction strategy. <br />
