Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 32 activities. Following a disaster, routes to these critical facilities will need to be cleared to allow emergency response vehicles to pass. A list of these facilities and their locations is included in Attachment O. The purpose of this is to expedite the clearing of debris from critical pathways to ensure public health and safety. During this time period, it is critical that all types of equipment and the amount of time the equipment is used are documented with detail and accuracy. 3.3.2 Right-of-Way Collection ROW collection entails residents piling their disaster-related debris along the curbside. It is critical that residents segregate their debris in categories such as vegetative, construction and demolition, household hazardous waste, and white goods. This will help prevent the contamination of debris loads and expedite the cleanup process. An effective public information campaign is essential to informing residents regarding the importance of segregating their debris. Sample public information message templates for informing the public regarding disaster debris clean up procedures can be found in Attachment J of this plan. Vegetative Debris Vegetative debris consists of whole trees, tree stumps, tree branches, tree trunks, and other leafy material. Depending on the size of the debris, the collection of vegetative debris may require the use of flatbed trucks, dump trucks, and grapple loaders. Most vegetative debris consist of large piles of tree limbs and branches that are placed on the public ROW by the residents. The City will determine the number of times vegetative debris is collected before normal collection activities are resumed. Alameda County landfills cannot bury green waste or use it as alternative daily cover per Ordinance 2008-01. Therefore, vegetative debris must be reduced, and alternatives identified for disposal. Vegetative debris may be reduced by as much as 75 percent of its volume by mulching or grinding. A hazardous tree or stump may be collected individually, while downed or fallen debris is collected from rights-of-way or at a designated collection center. FEMA only pays for stumps torn up by wind and does not fund removal of cut or burned stumps. Tree and stump collection prices are typically based on the size of the tree or stump and charged by unit. Other fallen or downed material is usually billed by weight (tons) or volume (CYs). Guidance for stump removal can be found in Attachment K. Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Debris Removal HHW includes gasoline cans, aerosol spray cans, paint, lawn chemicals, batteries, fire extinguishers, fluorescent lamps, household electronics, etc. HHW should be collected separately and disposed of or recycled at a properly permitted facility such as the Livermore HHW Facility operated by Alameda County. Collection of HHW can be conducted internally or contracted using a unit rate basis. The Cities will conduct the following activities to support HHW removal:  Communicate to residents the procedures for HHW following a debris-generating incident. It is important that residents separate debris streams to ensure that HHW does not enter the
