J.E.R. Eurprises, Inc. DISASTER RESPONSE DIVISION 411 vegetative debris may become mixed with earth materials such as dirt, gravel, rock, or sand during the disaster. Root rakes are employed to shake and separate the brush and vegetative debris before it is reduced. Sometimes shaker screens or trommels are necessary to separate the earthen debris before reducing. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is debris such as household chemicals, pesticides, unidentified liquids, paint, batteries, etc. As mentioned earlier, the primary goal is to separate this material on the curbside and pick it up separately by a designated HHW crew. These items are then delivered to the collection points designated by a Client Debris Manager. However, if HHW inadvertently becomes co-mingled with other debris and enters the site, it is separated from the other debris and placed into a Hazardous Containment area on the site for further disposal by those licensed to handle and dispose of this type of debris. White Goods refers to items such as refrigerators, air conditioners, freezers, etc. which may contain chemicals or fluids such as Freon or oil, which must be remediated by someone with the appropriate license and certifications to do so. These items should be separated at curbside and delivered to the collection points designated by a Client Debris Manager. If they are brought to the site for temporary storage, they will be contained in a separate staging area so that they may be inspected and properly cleaned of all chemicals or fluids. Metals will be separated at the curbside and delivered to a separate staging area at the DMS unless directed otherwise by a client Debris Manager. These items may be recycled. ® During the operation of a DMS Site, special attention is afforded to the following areas: • Site Safety: The Operations Manager and the Site Project Manager will conduct a Pre-Operations Site Safety meeting prior to the beginning of operations of the debris reduction site. Items to be included in the Safety meeting will be: • An overall review of the Site Plan and directions as to the location of all temporary structures, the planned traffic flow, location of first aid stations, eye wash stations, fire extinguishers and location of sign with postings of emergency numbers. • The first Weekly Safety Meeting will be held and all information as outlined in the Company Safety and Occupational Health Plan will be covered. • The Activity Hazard Analysis for each operations activity will be reviewed and discussed. • A communication path between the site management and site personnel will be established in the event of an emergency so that an orderly and efficient means is established to mitigate the event. • Dust Control: TFR provides water trucks, which do routine trips throughout the site during the operations, keeping dry roads dampened for minimizing the dust count. Water trucks are also used to dampen ash residue when removed from burn pit to ash pit. Attention is given to normal wind direction when layout of the site is prepared. • Hazardous Materials Containment Area: The Site Manager will regularly inspect the Hazardous Materials Containment area for any cuts, tears or leaks in the protective membrane that lines the containment area. The Manager will also inspect the berm surrounding the area to assure proper site runoff is still intact. 42
