410 KDF is a fully insured tree care company that adheres to the strict tree care standards established by <br /> the Tree Care Industry Association. The KDF Storm Recovery Team have successfully removed over <br /> 100,000 trees due to storm damage. Determination on whether a tree, limb or stump is 'hazardous' will <br /> be made following the criteria laid out the most recent FEMA guidelines as evidenced in PAPPG (Public <br /> assistance program and policy guide) Page 19 <br /> Debris reduction <br /> Once debris has arrived at the TDSR and has been segregated then plans for disposal of the debris are <br /> put into place. Some of this debris will be transported to relevant recycling facilities or a final disposal <br /> site. Vegetative debris is bulky and can consume a significant volume of landfill space if buried, <br /> therefore reducing the volume of this debris prior to disposal is important and it may be reduced by as <br /> much as 75% by mulching or grinding and as much as 90%through burning where appropriate. <br /> Volume reduction by grinding or chipping is typically the method used for reduction of vegetative <br /> debris for environmental reasons. The production of wood chips as a source of renewable energy is an <br /> environmental advantage to this process which KDF favors over reduction by burning. Reduction by <br /> ® <br /> grinding may in some instances be used for C&D debris, however this is prohibited in many areas and <br /> so alternative methods will be used. Grinders (horizontal and/or tub grinders) depending on the site <br /> will be used within a designated area at the TDRS. Safety is of prime importance in these operations <br /> and so an exclusion zone around the site will be maintained and a dust control plan in operation to <br /> ensure any dust from the grinders does not affect the local community. Any mulch which is produced <br /> by the grinding process will be stored appropriately and safely to ensure it does not spontaneously <br /> combust. <br /> Volume reduction by burning may be used as a method of reduction only where we are directed to do <br /> so by the government or the City of Sunny Isles Beach and will only be carried out within government <br /> and state guidelines. This applies to both open air burning and air curtain burning. This processof <br /> reduction will not be carried out on any material which is known or suspected to contain potential <br /> hazardous compounds such as asbestos. The accident and fire protection plans as well as the site plans <br /> will provide strict guidelines for these operations and all personnel working on site must be provided <br /> with training and be signed off as competent prior to commencement of burning operations.
