 Loose tires located at the curbside will be kept separate and removed by the HHW crew.  Extra caution will be applied to the handling of dirty white goods that still contain putrescible wastes, such as sealed freezers, refrigerators, coolers, and iceboxes. Putrescible waste is solid waste that contains organic matter capable of being decomposed by microorganisms and of such a character and proportion as to cause obnoxious odors and to attract or provide food for birds or animals. Improper handling of putrescible waste could lead to odor issues that make sitting and operating a DMS difficult. There are also numerous potential employee health and safety issues related to the removal and disposal of putrescible waste.  White goods may also have refrigerants (Freon and Freon replacements), and often plastics and motors and sometimes other electronic components that need to be removed before recycling. Refrigerant removal must be done by trained and qualified personnel and can potentially lead to spills of regulated chemicals. Only certified, experienced, and trained personnel will be used for these critical tasks to minimize risk and maximize efficiency.  All waste removal, cleaning, and handling will be managed to minimize the potential exposure of workers and others to waste and minimize the generation of odors.  Procedures such as proper sealing of refrigerants and containers will be in place to control vector exposure and the attraction of wildlife and minimize volume expansion through the addition of water to the waste stream. Vehicles and Vessels Abandoned Vehicles and Vessels will be removed and taken to a temporary staging/storage area. It is anticipated that the State Government’s Department of Transportation or Department of Motor Vehicles will be the project manager for the title of ownership issues related to any vehicle recovery and recycling project associated with the disaster response. Vehicles and vessels brought to the staging areas will be inventoried by license plate, make, model, color, and vehicle identification number. They shall be staged, and site tagged for easy retrieval.  For a vehicle or a vessel to be deemed eligible it must:  Present a hazard or immediate threat that blocks ingress/egress in a public-use area  Ownership is undetermined  The applicant followed all local ordinances and State laws by securing ownership  The applicant verified the chain of custody, transport, and disposal of the vehicle or vessel Private Property Debris Removal Private property debris removal must present an immediate health and safety threat to the general public before it is reimbursed under the Public Assistance Program. This is typically the responsibility of private property owners however if the debris poses a threat to the general public at large and the property owners are unavailable the State or local municipalities may need to enter onto private property to alleviate the immediate threat. If authorized, FEMA 325, Public Assistance Debris Management Guide states applicants are required to document all legal processes used to gain access to private property through the following: 1) Each property owner must sign a right-of-entry which includes a hold harmless agreement and indemnification applicable to the scope of work. 2) Photos to document the condition of the property before beginning work. 3) PPDR Assessment to establish the scope of eligible work. 4) Documentation of Environmental and Historic Review.
