I I RECYCLING OF GLASS AND CERAMICS INTO DURABLE FINES Bottles, windows, and wall elements may be ground into sand-like fines for structural applications as described above,and for wetlands restoration and beach renewal. RECOVERY OF COPPER AND OTHER METALS Copper wire and other metals may be separated and profitably recycled into new wires, signs, and light-duty Istructures,as was done by Florida Power and Light after Hurricane Andrew. PRODUCTION OF BIOFUELS FOR DISTRIBUTED USE The organic fraction of the debris stream may be pulverized and fashioned into high-BTU pellets, or anaerobically Idigested into natural gas. The production and sale of refuse-derived energy is economically rewarded because renewable energy credits may be sold along with the energy produced. While this may involve an out-of-state company with significant experience in this area, the Subcommittee is mindful that a local project developer should remain involved. DEBRIS MANAGEMENT SITE CLOSEOUT Restoration is conducted during the closing of each DMS. The scope of remediation is determined during operation and closure, by terms of the land lease (if any), or government directive or task order. Remediation consists of final removal of all debris (including residual debris),removal and remediation of HTW, abatement of any safety and/or Ienvironmental concerns (to include environmental testing and/or monitoring,if required), the removal of temporary structures (including any inspection towers), grading and leveling,removal of roads and fencing, if appropriate, and potentially grassing or seeding of the site,if required,to documented pre-use condition. I DOCUMENTATION AND INSPECTION A narrative description shall be prepared for each site. Sketches and/or drawings (basic) shall be produced to illustrate the current condition of the site and its contents,as well as content location. Still photographs or video will be taken of each site, both ground level and aerial, to additionally illustrate the pre-use condition of the site and its contents. Environmental Sampling to include: • Random soil samples, surface and sub-surface, may be taken and sealed in containers for comparison with post-use samples taken at the time of site closure when possible contamination is evident. • Prior to sealing these samples, a small portion of each sample will be field tested to determine the presence of contaminants prior to use of the site. • On-site and off-site samples will be taken of any water source. I • Water source samples will be stored and tested using the criteria stated above. • Samples of both water and soil will be taken in accordance with the above standards after operations have ended (post use samples). • Post use samples and pre-use samples will be tested in the Corporate Laboratory and/or another Certified Laboratory to determine the presence of contaminants. Should contaminants be identified in the pre-use field test, a determination of whether or not a particular site or area of a site should be utilized will need to be made by DRC Senior Management and the client representative. Should contaminants be identified in post use test results that were not present in pre-use test results,remediation of the site or area of the site will be accomplished in accordance with Federal, State and local regulations as well as current industry standards. 1 Storm debris management by DRC is subject to inspection by the governmental contracting entity and/or any Public Authority in accordance with generally accepted standards, to insure compliance with the contract and applicable local,state and federal laws.DRC will,at all times,provide the government access to all work sites and disposal areas and will cooperate completely with Government Inspectors.In addition,authorized representatives and agents of any participating Federal or state agency are encouraged to inspect all work and materials.
