All machinery and equipment shall be inspected daily to ensure safe operating conditions: Certified personnel will conduct the daily inspections and tests. Tests shall be made at the beginning of each shift during which the equipment is found to be unsafe,or whenever a deficiency which affects the safe operation of equipment is observed, the equipment shall be immediately taken out of service and its use prohibited until unsafe conditions have been corrected. Records of tests and inspections shall be maintained at the site by the contractor, and shall be made available upon request of the designated authority,and shall become part of the project file. DRC Emergency Services, LLC and its subcontractors, own substantial trucks and specialized pieces of heavy equipment, attachments and support equipment specifically designed for emergency response. DRC and/or their subcontractors have national priority contracts with multiple national equipment leasing companies and subcontractors and/or independent contractors through which hundreds of trucks and/or pieces of heavy loading equipment are available to supplement DRC's and/or the subcontractor's fleets. LAND BASED VEHICLE AND VESSEL REMOVAL DRC has extensive experience in the recovery of post disaster vehicles and vessels initially in Guam and most recently following hurricane Karina in Louisiana. The Louisiana project involved the recovery of vehicle and vessels throughout the state of Louisiana and a specific projection for identification,return,and ultimate recycling. Vehicle and vessel recovery programs typically involve multiple aggregation sites where the collected vehicles and vessels are systematically placed.The process varies from state to state,however,a notification process following legal guidelines is always a prominent part of the program. Additionally,fluids, tires, and Freon containing parts must be dealt with using an ecological method.Ultimately the goal of the program is the release of the vehicle and vessel to its proper owner and insurance companies with the balance of the units being recycled. In Louisiana,the proceeds from the scrap metal recycled reverted back to the state. DRC and its subcontractors will have all recovery equipment and tow vehicles prepared to mobilize upon the first notification to recover vessels. Identified vessels will be removed within 72 hours of notification. Prior to moving all IIfluids will be drained into local,state and federally approved containers.Batteries will be disconnected. MARINE DEBRIS AND DERELICT VESSEL REMOVAL Marine Debris and Derelict Vessels designated for removal will be identified using side-scan sonar. DRC has extensive experience with and will deploy side-scan sonar units to identify sub-surface marine debris. This approach provides for precise extraction of debris and does not disturb large areas of oyster beddings, or water bottoms. The City will provide GPS coordinates to DRC. Each debris removal vessel will be equipped with a GPS and side scan sonar. Debris removal crews will identify debris locations using coordinates and on-board GPS units. Crews will then deploy side-scan sonar to fine tune debris location. Following debris extraction from water, crews will verify complete removal using side scan sonar. No debris will be removed other than that which is designated and IIapproved for removal by the City in advance. SAND,SOIL,AND MUD REMOVAL AND SCREENING As evidenced above,DRC is committed to restoring environmentally sensitive areas.The removal of debris and waste materials, the restoration of damaged and compromised natural and man-made habitats, and, in some cases, the reconstruction of damaged coastal, marine, and wetland environments are the core missions in a DRC disaster response. Furthermore,DRC is committed to ensuring that our work,including the byproducts of our work,has zero or minimal environmental impact. This work is handled differently than other aspects of debris removal in that the bulk of the material must be recovered,reclaimed and returned to its original location in its original condition.
