9 1 INTRODUCTION The provides an overview of debris management for the agencies and municipalities within Miami-Dade County. This plan is not intended to be an operational procedure, it is supplemented by the Debris Management Operations Guide that is intended for use in preparation for and response to a debris generating event. This plan along with the supporting Operations Guide focuses on debris clearance and removal from roadways, as well as, identifying state and federal agencies and potential funding assistance. This plan and the Operations Guide were developed through meetings, discussions, input and review by the key stakeholders. 1.1 Purpose This plan brings together all of the elements of debris operations to delineate the requirements for coordination, communication, collaboration, and documentation. The purpose of this plan is to: Provide an overview of the coordination of debris operations within Miami-Dade County. Identify preparedness activities that will enhance the effectiveness of response measures. Describe the response, coordination and information flow that will be followed by the agencies responsible for debris clearance and removal. Define the roles and responsibilities for agencies activated to assist with debris clearance and removal operations. Identify and discuss when Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) programs may allow for reimbursement. 1.2 Scope The scope of this plan is to provide an overview of how this plan and the supporting Operations Guide were developed, identify the stakeholders who will provide debris management services, identify the key areas and chronology of events and provide situational awareness of the challenges that may be faced as a result of various debris generating events. Each entity identified herein will utilize this Plan as the basis for development and maintenance of subordinate plans, response policies and implementing procedures. The existence of the Plan does not relieve response organizations or local jurisdictions of developing their own debris plans. 1.3 How to Use this Plan This plan is designed to accomplish the following: To serve as an overview for those involved in debris operations. To serve as a reference tool for those seeking to learn about debris operations. Revised: February 2015 Page 9 of 49

10 To outline the operational relationship between the stakeholders and partners identified in this plan. There are five main parts to this plan: Introduction; Authorities and References; Plan Maintenance; Situation and Assumption and the Concept of Operations. 1.4 Distribution The OEM Whole Community Infrastructure Planner is responsible for development, maintenance and distribution of this plan and the operations guide. Since debris operations are a collaborative effort with many partners, this plan and the operations guide will be distributed, as necessary, to those agencies identified to have a critical role in carrying out the duties herein such as: Miami-Dade Office of Emergency Management (OEM); Miami-Dade Public Works and Waste Management Department (PWWM); Miami-Dade Regulatory and Economic Resources Department o Division of Environmental Resources Management (DERM); o Neighborhood Regulations Division; o Business Affairs Cooperative Extension Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX); Miami-Dade Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces (PROS); Miami-Dade Internal Services Department (ISD); Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS); Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM); Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT); Florida Power and Light (FPL); Florida National Guard (FNG); and Florida State Attorney s Office. Other agencies that may be provided this document include: South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD); AT&T; Comcast and other cable television companies; Federal Highway Administration (FHWA); Florida Health in Miami-Dade County. The OEM Whole Community Infrastructure Planner maintains a contact list of the Public Works Directors (or equivalent) and the key debris coordinators for the County, municipalities and other key stakeholders. This list is used to communicate with these stakeholders on a regular basis throughout the year and to gain input on planning activities. Revised: February 2015 Page 10 of 49

These pilot programs are often limited in duration and as such will be identified in the operations guide as applicable. These programs, usually tied to the Public Assistance Program, are voluntary in nature. Grantees and Subgrantees may choose to implement these programs when they are applicable. These programs are utilized to allow FEMA to identify meaningful information on the effectiveness of these measures for potential future proposed rulemaking.

12 Planner makes this information available to stakeholders as it is released. Additionally, when the EOC activates, and a debris generating event is anticipated, the EOC Infrastructure Branch Director will redistribute this information to the debris contact list. 3 PLAN MAINTENANCE This plan and the operations guide are living documents requiring constant review and update. Revisions to this document and the operations guide will be made on an as needed basis; however, any updates should be completed by June 1 st of each year to ensure readiness for hurricane season. The maintenance of this plan and the operations guide will be conducted within the EOC Infrastructure Branch. OEM will collaborate with its debris partners during the review, update, and maintenance of this plan and the operations guide. Specifically, the following County departments will convene on an annual basis to update this plan and the operations guide: OEM, PROS, PWWM, and DERM. Other meetings to include non-county agencies will be held as appropriate. This plan and the operations guide reside within Volume III of the Miami-Dade CEMP. The County s CEMP is officially adopted by the Board of County Commissioners every five years. This plan and the operations guide are approved by the Miami-Dade County Emergency Management Director and the Director of PWWM. This plan will be submitted to the State of Florida and FEMA for review and approval when significant changes are made to the plan since the last approval. 3.1 Training The Debris Management Team (DMT) meets with the debris partners on an annual basis to discuss any changes in policies or procedures, provide an overview of the plan and allow for discussion and questions. The Plan, Operations Guide, and relevant Map Books will be provided to the debris partners in an electronic version. In addition to the annual meetings, PWWM coordinates quarterly meetings and invites all debris partners to discuss updates to PWWM operations, OEM will provide a review or update of any new items at these meetings as well. PWWM will meet with the hauling companies if the contract is activated to provide an orientation to operations in the county. PWWM meets with the monitoring companies several times a year to discuss new technology and new ways to handle the debris monitoring process. Revised: February 2015 Page 12 of 49

13 4 SITUATION AND ASSUMPTIONS 4.1 Situation The debris generating events that the county is most likely to experience include but are not limited to: Tropical Storms and Hurricanes Severe Weather heavy rains, high winds or tornadoes Terrorism events Civil unrest Tsunamis Storm Surge Flooding The Miami-Dade Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment provides more information on the probability, magnitude and scale, and likely damages associated with these and all other hazards identified for Miami-Dade County. Tropical Storms and Hurricanes usually impact larger areas of the county and therefore are most likely to be the biggest debris generating events. Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 hurricane, generated 43 million cubic yards of disaster debris. The events listed previously are capable of generating numerous types of debris as identified below. Debris Types Debris may include: Vegetative o Hazardous trees o Hazardous limb removal o Hazardous tree stumps Construction and Demolition Hazardous waste o Household hazardous waste (hhw) o Electronic waste White goods (discarded household appliances) Soil, mud and sand Vehicles and vessels Putrescent (items that will decompose or rot such as spoiled meat and animal carcasses) Infectious waste Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear-contaminated Garbage (waste that is regularly picked up) More detailed information on these types of debris may be found in Appendix 1 Definitions Revised: February 2015 Page 13 of 49

14 County Topography Miami-Dade County is a coastal county that lies on the southeastern tip of Florida. The county has a land area of 2,431 square miles. The land area is predominantly flat terrain with an average elevation of six feet above sea level. The county consists of a large unincorporated municipal service area and 34 municipalities. Appendix 4 has the full land use map as projected in for 2020 and This information may provide insight into the types of debris that may be encountered in different areas of the county. Hurricanes The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is utilized to categorize hurricanes by their wind speed. Figure 1 illustrates the types of damages that can be expected and the following section provides more detail that describes the types of damages and therefore the type of debris that could be expected for each category of storm. Figure 1. Saffir-Simpson Scale and types of damages Wind Impact Table 1 depicts damages that are predicted to occur based on historical data of previous hurricane damages by category of storm (source: National Hurricane Center). These damages in turn can provide insight into the types of debris that could be encountered by each category of storm. It should be noted that no two storms are the same, even if they are the same wind speed, and damages may far exceed or fall below these broad depictions. The Miami-Dade County Hazard Impact and Assessment Plan has more detail on how impact assessments will occur and data that will be collected before, during and after a disaster at the Miami-Dade Emergency Operations Center (EOC).The impact assessment information may provide additional insight into the types of debris and areas of the county where higher winds may be encountered in relation to each event. This information will be communicated to stakeholders to assist them in their response efforts. Revised: February 2015 Page 14 of 49

17 Storm Surge Impact Storm surge is another consideration for debris generation. Storm surge can create flooding that can destroy buildings and carry debris miles inland, into canals and rivers, the intracoastal waterways and out to sea. The water can also pool in low lying areas impeding response and recovery activities. Damages associated with storm surge include but are not limited to: Extreme flooding in coastal areas Inundation along rivers and canals Beach erosion Undermining of foundations of structures or roadways along the coastline In confined harbors, severely damaged marinas and boats OEM maintains the current Sea Lake Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) models that show all potential areas for storm surge by each category of storm and level of potential inundation for the entire county. Figure 2 illustrates the map created by the South Florida Regional Planning Council that shows all levels of inundation for every potential category of hurricane that could impact the county. As a storm is approaching additional information will be developed to further define the areas at greatest risk for storm surge. This process is documented in the Hazard Impact and Assessment Plan and will be communicated to stakeholders to assist them in their response efforts. Revised: February 2015 Page 17 of 49

18 Figure 2. SLOSH for all Hurricanes in Miami Dade County Miami-Dade Emergency Operations Center Mobile Homes Miami-Dade has mapped out the locations of our 60 mobile home parks and five RV parks, see Figure 3. For high wind events (hurricanes, tropical storms and tornadoes) we would anticipate greater impacts on these structures and generation of more debris. As of 2014 there were approximately 11,638 mobile homes in Miami-Dade County. A chart of mobile home counts by municipality is provided in the operations guide (Appendix 23). A debris estimation for mobile homes is also provided in the operations guide. Revised: February 2015 Page 18 of 49

20 Roadways within Miami-Dade County There are over 8,800 miles of roads within Miami-Dade County. Data maintained by PWWM was utilized by OEM to calculate the number of miles of road within the unincorporated areas, all municipalities and within our airports and seaport. The list identifies the entity that is responsible for the maintenance of the roads, which is equivalent to whom is responsible for debris clearance after an event. Table 2 illustrates the total miles of roadways as of August 2013, Figure 4 illustrates by color all of the roads within the county and the maintenance authority. Individual maps for each municipality may be found in the operations guide in Appendix 24. These maps and Table 2 were provided to each municipality in August of Municipalities were also queried on their plans for road clearance and if they may require assistance from the County. Municipalities were also asked to identify the roads they prioritize for clearance. Information that was provided may be found in the SOP. Primary responsibility for the clearance of a roadway falls to the entity that maintains it. Table 2.

22 Debris Estimations for Hurricanes The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) developed a debris estimation formula based upon data from previous hurricanes. OEM developed an Excel spreadsheet for stakeholders to be able to calculate estimates for the amount and types of debris based upon the USACE formula. The USACE guidance and Excel spreadsheet may be found in the Debris Management Operations Guide. Using a population of 2.5 million (2010 Census estimate) and a factor of medium vegetative cover and medium commercial density for the entire county, Figure 5 estimates the cubic yards of debris derived. Figure 5: USACE Estimation Tool for Miami Dade County Note: The Types of Debris estimation is based upon Category 2 Hurricane winds impacting the entire county. This calculation can be tailored to the forecast wind fields and the impacted areas and population when a hurricane threatens. The Types of Debris may be estimated by entering the number associated with the Category and type of precipitation anticipated. A Category 2 with Medium to Heavy Precipitation was utilized for this illustration. Additional guidance for the estimation of structural debris, based on the FEMA 329 publication Debris Estimating Field Guide may be found in the Debris Management Operations Guide. OEM will also utilize HAZUS MH for modeling potential damages and debris, as able. 4.2 Assumptions Debris related costs for disasters can account for up to 40% of the overall costs. Debris clearance and removal operations are often reimbursable through various Revised: February 2015 Page 22 of 49

23 programs but operational costs must be documented and implemented per the directive of the reimbursement agency. The declaration provided for the individual disaster will identify the activities that are eligible for reimbursement. Clearance and removal of debris from a State, County, municipal or private road is the responsibility of that entity. Clearance by another entity, without a written agreement, may result in uncompensated costs. Under FHWA Compensation for debris clearance and removal may be strictly limited to first push and first pass with no allowance for staging areas or excessively long hauls. There may be circumstances under which debris generated by the disaster, e.g. an act of terrorism, where special handling, staging and sorting is required for investigative follow-up. ESF 16 (Law Enforcement) will be responsible for providing guidance when such circumstances exist and the procedures that should be followed. Search and Rescue operations will require close coordination to allow for locating and extricating viable victims or decedents in debris piles. ESF 9 (Search and Rescue) will be responsible for providing guidance when such circumstances exist. Debris generated from commercially owned properties is the responsibility of the owner of the business. This includes agricultural and horticultural entities. ESF 18 (Business Recovery) and ESF 17 (Animal Protection and Agriculture) will develop and/or disseminate information to appropriate stakeholders on the proper disposal of commercial debris. Hazardous materials or contaminated waste will require special handling and guidance will be given by the appropriate authority: o ESF 8 (Health and Medical) biohazardous waste o ESF 10 (Hazardous Materials) o Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant releases Bureau of Radiation Control Animal carcasses or putrescent waste will be coordinated with ESF 17 As community members repopulate and recover from the incident, debris may continue to be discarded as time goes on, exceeding the first pass removal efforts. (Appendix 18 has additional information on household debris) Public information on how to handle debris will be coordinated through ESF 14 (Public Information). 5 CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS 5.1 Direction and Control Debris Operations will be coordinated through the DMT which is composed of representatives from OEM and PWWM. Revised: February 2015 Page 23 of 49

24 5.2 Roles and Responsibilities Debris operations in the county are accomplished by County and non-county entities. Each participating agency performs a specific role in the process. This section outlines the general roles and responsibilities of the participants of the county program. Local Miami-Dade County s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) OEM is responsible for developing and maintaining this plan. OEM documents how the agencies involved with debris operations in the county are coordinating and collaborating their efforts. The roles and responsibilities of the OEM also include: Day-to-day Operations Hosting annual debris committee meetings Documenting the location of debris staging sites Tracking changes in State and Federal legislation related to debris operations Conducting meetings with municipal partners in debris operations Collaborating with agencies in matters related to debris When Activated For a known threat to the county, conduct a pre-impact debris meeting or conference call to coordinate relevant issues as necessary Collect and compile data on the progress of roadways cleared and debris removed after a debris generating event Work with GIS and PWWM and other stakeholders for the update of status boards, maps and reports Provide stakeholders information of declarations and reimbursement procedures Miami-Dade Public Works and Waste Management Department (PWWM) PWWM has the lead responsibility for debris clearance (or push) operations for roads that the County owns and debris removal for the unincorporated areas and municipalities in the waste collection service area (WCSA). PWWM will assign personnel from both the Public Works and Solid Waste Divisions to work in the MD EOC and serve as the primary point of contact for ESF 3(Public Works and Engineering). For debris clearance on County roads, PWWM primarily works with Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces (PROS) following a debris generating event. PWWM implements the County debris monitoring and removal contracts to accomplish the tasks of this process. PWWM is responsible for: Assigning debris clearance route responsibilities for their areas of responsibility Compiling data on the progress of the debris clearance team (PWWM and PROS) in clearing roadways following an event in the county Reporting the status of debris clearance and removal to the EOC during activations Preparing solid waste facilities and staging sites to receive debris generated by event Revised: February 2015 Page 24 of 49

25 Managing closure and opening of Trash and Recycling Centers Managing the garbage pickup program including the cessation and resumption of services accordingly prior to and following a disaster event Preparing equipment and vehicles for debris operations Managing staff who will participate in the debris clearance and removal operations Coordinate debris removal with the municipalities within the Waste Collection Service Area (WCSA) Coordinating debris removal from County canals Managing the debris monitoring, removal, reduction and hauling contracts Ensuring that contractors, local businesses, and private residents are, to the extent possible, not illegally dumping debris within Miami-Dade County. PWWM also works with the Miami-Dade County Police Department and the Miami-Dade Office of the State Attorney, who is responsible for prosecuting those accused of illegally dumping debris. Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) WASD will assist with clearance and removal activities as able and report on their ability to clear and remove debris from their critical locations. Miami-Dade Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) Department There are several divisions of RER that support the debris plan: Division of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) DERM supports debris operations by assessing proposed debris staging sites for any environmental impact that debris would have on the sites. DERM issues preauthorization of Disaster Debris Management Sites (DDMS) on behalf of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and will also assist with additional sites that may need to be identified after an event has occurred. DERM serves as subject matter experts on any environmental matter related to debris management. Business Affairs Division Under the Business Affairs Division, the Cooperative Extension is responsible for educating agricultural interests on the proper handling and disposal of agricultural and commercial debris. Neighborhood Regulations Division Supports code enforcement for illegal dumping. Miami-Dade Animal Services Coordinates with PWWM for the removal of animal carcasses. Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) The Miami-Dade Expressway Authority maintains the following five expressways in Miami-Dade County: SR 112, Airport Expressway; SR 836, Dolphin Expressway; SR Revised: February 2015 Page 25 of 49

26 874, Don Shula Expressway; SR 878, Snapper Creek Expressway; and SR 924, Gratigny Expressway. MDX is responsible for clearing debris from their expressways following a debris-generating event. Miami-Dade Finance Department The Finance Department tracks and maintains reimbursement records related to the FEMA Public Assistance and the FHWA Emergency Relief programs for Miami-Dade Departments. The Finance Department also provides input into the development of this plan to ensure consistency with the FEMA Public Assistance and the FHWA Emergency Relief program and documentation requirements. Miami-Dade Internal Services Department (ISD) ISD maintains various properties throughout the county. ISD contributes in debris management by providing land which may be used for staging debris. Miami-Dade Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) PROS provides various critical services in debris operations. These include debris clearance (or push) operations immediately following a debris generating event in Miami- Dade County. PROS also identifies available PROS property, to be used as secondary debris staging sites. PROS is responsible for clearing debris off of all county owned parks. Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) The MDCPS own property throughout Miami-Dade County which, based on its size, can potentially generate a high volume of debris. The MDCPS is responsible for clearing debris on its rights of way. MDCPS participates in the EOC when activated and will be available to address MDCPS-specific debris related issues that arise. Municipalities Municipalities will identify a Debris Liaison whom is responsible for coordinating with MDEM year round for planning and coordination with ESF 3 representative in the MD EOC for debris clearance coordination during an event. Municipalities are responsible for: Clearing the roads they own and maintain Identifying their primary roads and coordinating with the appropriate county and state agencies for clearance concerns after an event Contracts and/or agreements for debris clearance and removal Assigning debris clearance route responsibilities for their areas of responsibility Compiling data on the progress of the debris clearance team in clearing roadways following an event in the county Reporting the status of debris clearance to the EOC during activations Coordinating with PWWM to receive debris generated by event Managing closure and opening of Trash and Recycling Centers, if applicable Revised: February 2015 Page 26 of 49

27 Managing or coordinating with PWWM for garbage pickup, including the cessation and resumption of services accordingly prior to and following a disaster event Preparing equipment and vehicles for debris operations Managing staff who will participate in the debris clearance and removal operations Coordinate debris removal with PWWM within the Waste Collection Service Area (WCSA) Managing the debris monitoring and hauling contracts Ensuring that contractors, local businesses, and private residents are, to the extent possible, not illegally dumping debris within their jurisdictions Providing residents information on debris clearance and removal programs and proper procedures Municipalities that are not part of the County s debris removal program or those that contract separately for any debris removal services are responsible for tracking and documenting all expenses and work performed and for filing for reimbursement as applicable Municipalities that want to be reimbursed for clearing County owned and maintained roads within their municipal boundaries must sign an agreement with the County. Agreements should be in place before hurricane season every year and implemented on an as needed basis. This will be facilitated on a case by case request. Florida Health in Miami-Dade County Responsible for public health issues in relation to debris, including but not limited to, vector control and environmental health issues South Florida Water Management District Responsible for the clearance and removal of debris from the SFWMD canals Private Sector Florida Power and Light (FPL) While FPL does, in fact, clear debris, they have no responsibility under this plan to clear debris from Federal, State, County or municipal streets. FPL s only responsibility is to clear debris that is located within the FPL rights-of-way or debris that is preventing them from restoring power. FPL may also accompany debris crews in relation to downed power lines and accessing area to perform assessment and restoration. Debris Monitors Numerous agencies, including PWWM, (identified in Table 2 in Section 6.1) have debris monitoring contractors to perform the following responsibilities: Monitoring of debris recovery contractors Coordinating daily briefings, work in progress, staffing, and other key items with the county Schedule work for all team members and debris recovery contractors on a daily basis Revised: February 2015 Page 27 of 49

28 Conduct hauling contractors truck certifications to include maintaining a certified truck database with records of measurement, truck photos and certified truck capacity Conduct safety inspections for proper debris management Review and reconcile contractor invoices for payment and prepare FEMA/FHWA worksheets for reimbursement for debris hauling and monitoring efforts Debris Haulers Numerous agencies, including PWWM, pre-qualify debris haulers or enter into contracts for removal of debris. Debris haulers will be responsible for: Furnishing all labor, material, and equipment necessary for satisfactory performance of the contract Providing additional equipment for the completion of operations if necessary and as directed by the county Ensuring that the equipment is in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations To the extent possible, make every effort to identify any hazardous waste so it is not loaded for transport to the designated staging or disposal sites The entirety of the section within the debris hauling contract which lists the roles and responsibilities of the haulers is included in the attachment section of this document. State of Florida Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District VI There are many roadways in Miami-Dade County which are under the purview of FDOT. As such, FDOT is responsible for clearing debris off of such roadways. In addition, FDOT may collaborate with the County and municipalities to minimize duplication. FDOT is identified as the Applicant in 23 CFR for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Emergency Relief Program. As the applicant, the state facilitates local government applications for reimbursement of work completed on Federal-Aid roadways. Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) FDEM supports debris operations in the county by liaising on all matters related to debris operations. Through the Regional Coordinator, FDEM may provide resources to the County related to debris management. In addition and in response to an imminent threat, the State may request the President of the United States to declare an emergency in Florida for the purposes of enabling debris operations and the implementation of emergency protective measures. Furthermore, the State is the engine through which the President declares a major disaster for impacted jurisdictions in Miami-Dade County. Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) FDEP evaluates the environmental impact related to proposed debris staging sites. Once assessed, proposed staging sites may be denied or pre-approved. FDEP works closely with PWWM and DERM. The use of debris staging sites must be approved by Revised: February 2015 Page 28 of 49

29 FDEP as one of the criteria to ensure that the use of the sites is eligible for reimbursement from FEMA. Florida National Guard (FNG) FNG, may, as resources are available, provide assistance to Miami-Dade County for debris removal operations. The FNG is an asset of the State of Florida; therefore, any requests to use FNG assets are generated from the EOC and forwarded to the FDEM. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) The FWC oversees the investigative and legal process for lost and abandoned vessels at or below the high water mark within Florida waters. Vessels identified as derelict within the waters of the State will be processed accordingly. The processing includes the identification and returning of lost boats, and the legally processing, salvaging, and disposing of abandoned and derelict boats. The FWC collaborates with local entities to accomplish these tasks. Miami-Dade Office of the State Attorney The Miami-Dade Office of the State Attorney collaborates with Miami-Dade County to ensure the prosecution of cases regarding illegal dumping. Federal Government FEMA Fact Sheet developed and distributed by the FEMA Recovery Division, lists the authorities of Federal agencies for debris removal. See Appendix 19 for the links to FEMA guidance. The EOC Infrastructure Branch Director also maintains a hard copy of these guidance documents in the MD EOC. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) FEMA is authorized in Section s 403, 407 and 502 of the Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to provide assistance to eligible applicants to remove debris from public and private property following a Presidential Disaster Declaration, when in the public interest. United States Coast Guard (USCG) Under the National Contingency Plan (NCP), the USCG is responsible for providing predesignated On-Scene Coordinators (FOSCs) to conduct emergency removals of oil and hazardous materials in the coastal zones. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) or the Superfund and the Clean Water Act, the USCG is charged with responding to actual or potential discharges of oil and actual or potential releases of hazardous substances, pollutants and contaminants that may endanger public health or the environment. The USCG is also responsible for keeping waterways safe and open under the Ports and Waterways Safety Act. While specific language charging the USCG to remove debris from the waterways is not present in the act, the USCG has been tasked with this role in the past. Revised: February 2015 Page 29 of 49

30 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) The EPA, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Clean Water Act, and the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP), has the responsibility of responding to actual or potential discharges of oil, other hazardous substances, or contaminants that may present an imminent and substantial danger to public health or welfare. Under the National Contingency Plan (NCP), the EPA is responsible for providing pre-designated On-Scene Coordinators (FOSCs) to conduct emergency removals of oil and hazardous materials in inland zones. The EPA is also involved with establishing standards for proper management of debris. United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Section 202 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA of 1976 (PL ) authorizes the USACE to develop projects for the collection and removal of drift and debris from publicly maintained commercial harbors, and from land and water areas immediately adjacent to the harbors. The USACE is also authorized to perform debris operations under sections 15, 19, and 20 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (as amended). This act empowers the USACE to remove sunken vessels or other obstructions from navigable waterways during emergency conditions. In addition, the USACE may also participate in debris removal operations under the Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies Act (RP ). From time to time, the USACE is tasked by FEMA through a mission assignment to perform debris clearance and removal operations. Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) The NRCS is charged under 7 CFR 624 with the responsibility of administering the Emergency Watershed Protection Program. One of the elements of this program includes providing assistance to local government to reduce threats to life or property arising from watershed impairment. Debris removal from a watershed is covered under this program. In order to qualify, the county must have been impacted by a natural occurrence and the event must have been declared a major disaster by the President of the United States. The NRCS may also work directly with impacted communities if the event has not been declared a major disaster by the President; however, an NRCS State Conservationist has determined that watershed impairment exits. Farm Service Agency (FSA) Through the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP), the FSA provides emergency assistance for debris removal from privately-owned land following a natural disaster. Assistance is predicated on funds being available through an appropriation by Congress. Assistance provided through the ECP is intended for individuals that are agricultural producers with an interest in the land affected by the natural disaster and are liable for, or have paid, the expense that is subject to the assistance. Revised: February 2015 Page 30 of 49

31 Animal, Plant and Health Inspection Services (APHIS) APHIS has two programs under which it can provide debris removal assistance: Veterinary Services (VS) and Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ). VS is authorized by Animal Health Protection Act that provides for the removal and burial of diseased animal carcasses. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) As per the guidance of Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) put forth on May 31, 2013 (see Table 4 for more detail), FHWA will not provide reimbursement for debris if the event has received a FEMA declaration for debris. The FHWA reimburses funds expended on debris removal operations on Federal-aid roadways. FHWA reimburses 100% of the first push and pass of debris operations provided the work is completed within the first 180 days following an emergency. 5.3 Preparedness The preparedness phase of debris management consists of the coordination of the following elements: Review and update of the plan Identification, environmental review, and approval of Debris Management sites (DMS) Meetings with the Miami-Dade County Debris Management Team which consists of (OEM, PWWM) Meetings with State and municipal partners (Debris Liaisons) Reviewing contracts, as necessary Establish and review roadway clearance priorities Update debris road clearance assignments Update list and map of all roadways Conducting appropriate training and exercises Debris Estimation Identification of Health and Safety Guidelines The list does not reflect the totality of actions taken by each agency involved with debris management coordination. Individual departments may perform other additional actions during this phase. OEM assists with the coordination of various interagency efforts to facilitate information sharing as appropriate. All actions identified in this phase should be completed by June 1 st of each year, the beginning of hurricane season. However, since debris can be generated by other events, the DMT must be prepared to activate this plan at any time of the year as necessitated by a debris generating event. Revised: February 2015 Page 31 of 49

32 Contracts: Monitoring and/or Removal In order to be prepared for a large scale debris generating event, PWWM and the municipalities enter into contracts to provide debris removal and/or monitoring services on an as needed basis. All entities are advised to follow their procurement guidelines to advertise and select appropriate contractors through an open competitive request for qualifications and to ensure compliance with Federal procurement requirements, as outlined in Title 44 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Additional guidance for this may be found in FEMA Recovery Fact Sheet Debris Contracting Guidance. Procedures on how the County will activate its contracts and a list of the current contracts held by the County and the municipalities may be found in the Operations Guide. Request for County Assistance Municipalities may wish to enter into an agreement with Miami-Dade County to clear County owned and maintained roads within their municipal boundaries. Agreements should be in place before hurricane season every year and implemented on an as needed basis. This will be facilitated on a case by case request. 5.4 EOC Operations When the Miami-Dade County EOC is activated for incidents and it is determined that debris operations are required, the EOC Infrastructure Branch Director will coordinate with ESF 3 for the alert and notification of the stakeholders. Information to be collected and disseminated will include, but is not limited to: Impact Assessment estimates based on the impending or occurring event before and during the event Overall status of the county based upon information reported through agencies in the EOC and through ESF 3 Daily updates on the status of clearance and removal activities Notification of federal disaster declarations and any provisions for reimbursement 5.5 Field Operations The agencies identified in this plan will commence with their activities, as able, upon first available daylight hours when conditions are deemed safe. The following three phases provide a quick glimpse of activities. Phase 1 and Phase 2 may occur at the same time as crews performing clearance will also be reporting information back to the PWWM Command Post. Figure 6 provides an estimated timeline for activities to commence. Revised: February 2015 Page 32 of 49

33 Figure 6. Debris Management First Steps Phase 1: Impact Assessment Agencies in the community will report on their initial assessment and estimates of debris. This may be in the form of aerial assessments and/or windshield assessments. More information on this may be found in the Hazard Impact and Assessment Plan in Volume III of the CEMP. Phase 2: Debris Clearance The extent and location of the debris field will determine the type of debris clearance and removal that is necessary. For incidents that create a lot of debris on major roadways and thoroughfares, it will be necessary to open up as many travel lanes as possible through a clearance process. The removal of debris will be performed as appropriate for the event. Phase 3: Debris Removal The next phase of debris operations is the collection and disposal of debris. During this phase, debris is collected from the public rights-of-way and transported to a disposal site. Debris may be taken to a staging site for volume reduction and/or, recycling or directly to a landfill based on the unique circumstances of the event. Environmental Considerations According to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), local communities may request additional staging areas by providing the staging area design, location, operation and closure, as well as the types of waste that may be stored at the sites. A list of pre-approved sites is listed in the operations guide (Appendix 3) along with the criteria for how they are approved (Appendix 18). To protect water quality and environmental health, periodic testing on the sites should include: Soil Groundwater Surface water Revised: February 2015 Page 33 of 49

34 Setbacks from drinking wells Natural or artificial water bodies Staging areas are prohibited in wetlands or rivers, streams and lakes. Operators must control storm water within the area to prevent any offsite migration of potentially polluted runoff. In addition to planning for a site before an event, means of restoration should also be considered. RER is the lead for environmental monitoring and issues and is a part of ESF 10 (Hazardous Materials) in the EOC when activated. ESF 3 and ESF 10 will coordinate appropriately. Debris management sites should be closed within 6 months of receiving waste; otherwise permitting of the site may be required. If conditions at the site become injurious to public health and the environment, then the site shall be closed until conditions are corrected or permanently closed. Sites must be reviewed and approved on an annual basis. 5.6 Recovery Operations for debris management may continue after the EOC has deactivated. This may require additional agencies or different personnel from within agencies to continue ongoing efforts into the recovery process. The transition from Emergency Support Functions to Recovery Support Functions from response into short-term recovery is addressed in the Recovery Plan. Long-term recovery and redevelopment are addressed in the Post Disaster Redevelopment Plan (PRDP) through Technical Advisory Committees. Table 3 illustrates the transition of ESF 3 debris operations and ESF 10 for any environmental operations. Table 3: Transition to Recovery and Redevelopment CEMP: Emergency Support Function Recovery Plan: Recovery Support Function ESF 3 (Public Works and Recovery Support Function Engineering) Infrastructure ESF 10 (Hazardous Recovery Support Function Materials) Environment PDRP: Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Infrastructure & Transportation TAC Environmental Protection & Restoration TAC Short to Long-Term Recovery Debris Removal Issues For larger events, debris clearance and removal can be a cyclical process. 1. The volume of debris on the property adjacent to the roadway may exceed the available space on the swale, so debris will be put there in phases. Revised: February 2015 Page 34 of 49

35 2. Additional debris is generated as a result of the short-term recovery effort (i.e. household debris and tree trimming) and will continue after the initial debris pickup. 3. Additional debris is generated as a result of the long-term recovery process (i.e. re-construction and repairs), which also continues after the initial debris pick-up. These factors, observed over a period of time, reflect the stages of recovery within the county following a major disaster. The impact of this phenomenon on debris clearance is that as soon as an area has been cleared of debris, the roadside is filled up again with more debris. After Andrew, a number of zones required multiple sweeps to finally clear the debris. The identification and coordination of repetitive sweeps is a long-term proposition that may take up to a year to complete. The objective of the operations guide is to address the emergency response and short-term recovery phases of the disaster. Long-term recovery is handled far more efficiently by the individual agencies and municipalities. 5.7 Reimbursement Debris operations are complex and expensive, usually requiring Federal Assistance. Two of the more prominent Federal Assistance programs are FEMA Public Assistance and the Federal Highway Administration s Emergency Relief (ER) Program. These programs require very stringent guidelines for documentation of work completed for which the agencies seek reimbursement. Key factors should be adhered to by agencies performing debris operations: Plan, update and review recovery elements during the preparedness phase, such as being familiar with recent changes to FEMA and FHWA programs Review and adherence to county, state and federal procurement regulations Track and properly document actions during the response phase Accurately compile and submit data to ensure reimbursement of funds expended. An overview of FEMA and FHWA ER programs is provided in Table 4. Additional information on reimbursement may be found in the Recovery Plan, Cost Recovery Guide. Revised: February 2015 Page 35 of 49
