Hazardous Materials Containment Area – TFR’s employees have been involved in the preparation and construction of many DMS to FEMA/USACE specifications. The Company will have had all necessary tools and supplies shipped from its home office for the first deployment of equipment. Once again, this is done as a safeguard measure if supplies and materials may not be readily available in the area following a disaster event. This Hazardous Materials Containment Area shall be constructed to the specifications outlined in the RFP. Before construction, the site will be graded, and a berm constructed to provide a Hazardous Containment Area that will direct site runoff away from the Hazardous Containment Area. The area shall be 30’x30’. The perimeter shall be lined with hay bales and staked in place. The area shall be lined with a heavy gauge plastic (or tarp for colder climates where plastic may be too brittle) to provide a waterproof barrier. Six inches (6”) of sand shall be spread within the area to provide an additional defense against hazardous leakage while also protecting the heavy gauge plastic against rips and tears. Additional plastic or tarp sufficient to cover the area will be available to prevent rain or snow from entering the containment. Lastly, site runoff shall be redirected away and from the containment area through the utilization of site grading. Additional Construction Procedures that may be necessary are: • The establishment of a lined temporary storage area for ash, fuels, and other materials that could contaminate soils and groundwater. • Construction of temporary fencing around debris material storage areas for segregation and protection from traffic. • Construct non-combustible stop blocks for equipment located at the burn pit. • Establishment of an equipment staging area where equipment can be isolated and inspected regularly for fuel and oil leaks. Describe provisions for a lined area for fueling and equipment repair to protect soils from spills of petroleum products, hydraulic fluids, etc. • Provision of plastic liners under stationary equipment such as generators and mobile light plants. • Construct Roadways Throughout the Site - Traffic will be designed for one way in and one way out to avoid congestion. • Erect Stop, Slow, and Direction Signs for safety and traffic flow. Signs will also be provided at the main entrance with the site name and directions, i.e., Office/Visitor Check-in, visitor parking, truck inspection tower, etc. There will also be signs designating the HTW area, white goods area, first aid area, mixed debris, etc. • Establish a gated entrance for security to the perimeter of the site and a guard building to record visitors and authorized personnel visiting the site. • If necessary, establish a “public” or separate dump area for debris hauled by others with separate traffic patterns and a distinguished and separated (by temporary fencing or other means) perimeter to avoid mixing the debris with the debris hauled by the contractor. Once the Site Plan is approved, the Company will locate its office command center. TFR owns five self-contained command centers constructed on a 45-foot travel trailer. They are inventoried with all needed onsite management, communications, record-keeping, and safety materials. This includes such items as truck tickets, safety forms, identification signage, cellular phone, radio broadcast systems, desktop computer/fax and copying equipment, hard hats, steel-toed boots, flags, safety vests, and other miscellaneous items necessary to the immediate operations. These command centers will be equipped with self-supporting generators and temporary sanitary facilities if not, or until, available on site.
