II and/or C&D) as directed by government task order. Grinding and/or chipping of vegetative debris will be accomplished on the piles of vegetative debris as set out below. Vegetative debris will be placed into two separate piles. The first pile will be the dumping point until a sufficient quantity has been accumulated to commence a continuous reduction operation. The second pile will be started and accumulated until the reduction of the first pile has been completed at which time dumping of vegetative debris on Ilthe second pile will cease and the first pile will be replenished.This rotation will continue until reduction is complete. OPEN AIR BURNING Open air burning of disaster related debris is prohibited within numerous jurisdictions. Open air burning will be accomplished on vegetative debris and/or clean woody debris only when directed by government task order. Under no circumstance will open air burning be conducted on C&D debris that is known,considered or suspected,by owner or DRC, to contain environmental/health hazardous materials (i.e. asbestos, arsenic, etc.). All appropriate fire protection measures will be established and maintained in accordance with the site management plan,site safety plan and the government task order. All personnel involved in open air burning operations will receive safety training pertaining to this to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan.Open air burning will be conducted above ground level.No open-air burning will be conducted within 1000 feet of a structure or within 100 feet of the debris pile.An area of not less than 100 feet surrounding each burn site will be cleared of all combustible materials and marked to delineate the area as restricted. Il AIR CURTAIN BURNING This method of burning will be used for reduction on vegetative debris and clean woody debris only, unless II otherwise directed by government task order. Under no circumstance will air curtain burning be conducted on C&D debris that is known, considered or suspected, by owner or DRC, to contain environmental/health hazardous materials. All appropriate fire protection measures will be established and maintained in accordance with the site management plan, site safety plan and the government task order. All personnel involved in air curtain burning operations will receive safety training pertaining to this to ensure compliance with the Corporate Accident Prevention Plan as part of the Corporate Safety Plan. Air curtain burning will be conducted below ground level in a below ground pit, and above ground when geographically necessary. If above ground burning is required it will be conducted in an approved container suitable for the operation. If a below ground pit is used it shall be at least 8 feet, and no more than 20 feet, in depth and will be no wider than 1.1 times the width of the air curtain nozzle and no longer than 10-12 feet (15 feet maximum). No air curtain burning will be conducted within 1000 feet of a structure or within 100 feet of the debris pile. An area of not less than 100 feet surrounding each burn site will be cleared of all combustible materials and marked to delineate the area as restricted. All burning will be accomplished as set out in the US Army Corps of Engineers"DISASTER GUIDEBOOK." ASH DISPOSAL AREA At the end of each burning cycle,the ash residue from the burning operations shall be removed from the burning area and placed in a pre-identified Ash Disposal Area. The burning operations personnel will use this area to temporarily store the ash material prior to final disposal.Ash residue will be tested in accordance with the soil testing procedures in DRC's Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) to determine if there is a need to install a ground-water protection barrier in the Ash Disposal Area.Should a liner be required,an impervious layer of clay and/or limestone should be utilized to protect the aquifer (ground water) from potential contamination. Control of dust produced as a result of handling and/or storage of ash residue will be accomplished in accordance with the appropriate requirements of the EPP. Once the ash residue has reached a quantity requiring disposal, samples of the ash will be taken and examined in accordance with the EPP to establish the requirements for disposal (Class I Subtitle D Landfill vs. Class III Landfill vs.agricultural recycling techniques). FINAL DEBRIS DISPOSAL DRCES normally conducts the final disposal of all debris,reduced debris,ash residue and other products of the debris management process in accordance with the applicable Federal,State and local laws,standards and regulations.
