Brush and logs shall not be allowed to create a hazard at the work site. Logs and brush shall be securely loaded onto trucks in such a manner as not to obscure tailor brake lights and vision, or to overhang the side. DEBRIS ELIGIBILITY One of the key elements of debris operation quality control centers on debris eligibility. Debris Eligibility is defined as debris which has been deemed eligible by a GOVERNMENT directive usually based on FEMA's Guidelines dictated in the Stafford Act. In most cases this refers to debris that was generated as a result of a specific disaster event such as hurricane. All other debris and waste not generated by this specific event in most cases is in- eligible. DRC will provide expert quality control in area of eligibility to ensure that all our crews have specific guidelines that are consistent across the entire project on what debris is actually eligible under a specific Debris Mission. DRC will provide daily inspection of debris collection crews to monitor the debris and its eligibility. All debris must have been placed on the Right of Way (ROW) for collection or designated by an address in a Right of Entry (ROE) removal program to meet most eligibility criteria under FEMA Funded Projects. Any crew that is found operating outside the assigned work zone, off the ROW or specific ROE will be terminated and reported to GOVERNMENT. DRC will achieve this level of quality control of debris eligibility by having QC managers in the field, at TDSRSs, and random spot checks by Area and Sector Managers. Dissemination of the proper instructions to crews is critical to successful control over eligibility; DRC will provide this information by distribution of information via central points such as the TDSRSs and staging areas. PROTECTION OF INFRASTRUCTURE The protection of infrastructure is critical to a recovery operation. Examples of infrastructure items that are vulnerable during a debris operation are as follows: I. Road, Street & Highway wearing surfaces and ROW's 2. Street and Traffic Signs 3. Traffic Signals and Lights 4. Power lines and Poles 5. Phone lines 6. Cable Lines 7. Sewer, Water and Gas Utilities 8. Individual Property Items 61
