Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton | Disaster Debris Management Plan | 2022 <br />28 <br /> <br /> <br />A sample memorandum of agreement has been included in Attachment G in the event a City <br />chooses to establish an agreement with a private property owner for use of privately-owned property <br />as a TDMS. <br /> <br />Debris brought to a TDMS is sorted to remove recyclable materials and materials not suitable for <br />reuse. The materials not suitable for reuse are taken to a landfill. Ideally, all concrete rubble would be <br />processed at the TDMS into reusable aggregate. This option may be considered if space, site <br />characteristics, and available resources allow. <br /> <br />The size of the site is dependent on the quantity of debris that needs to be stored and processed. <br />The site should be large enough to safely accommodate the processing of various debris materials, <br />storing heavy equipment, and maneuvering trucks and large processing equipment. <br /> <br />The TDMS should be established in an area that does not impede the flow of normal traffic along <br />major transportation corridors, disrupt local business operations, or cause dangerous conditions in <br />residential neighborhoods or schools. Whenever possible, avoid locating a TDMS near residential <br />areas, schools, churches, hospitals, and other such sensitive areas. <br /> <br />The Cities must also consider community acceptability when selecting a potential TDMS. The <br />community’s acceptance of the TDMS location usually depends on the reduction methods that will be <br />conducted at the site. Around-the-clock light and noise from equipment operation, dust, and traffic <br />are generally tolerated early in a disaster recovery operation but may have to be curtailed later in <br />the recovery phase. The following factors should be taken into consideration when identifying a <br />debris management site: <br /> <br /> Current availability <br /> Duration of availability <br /> Site ingress/egress and access to transportation routes <br /> Geographic location within the jurisdiction <br /> A minimum of 10 acres of usable land <br /> Well-drained site with soils suitable for supporting heavy vehicles and equipment <br /> Strategic placement to minimize debris transportation requirements and travel time to and <br />from loading points; the TDMS should be located as close as possible to the concentrations <br />of disaster debris <br /> Access to electrical and water utilities for site operations <br /> Minimum potential for disruption of critical services <br /> <br />Potential locations for a TDMS may include the following: <br /> <br /> Recycling facility <br /> Landfill <br /> Transfer station <br /> Vacant lot <br /> Corporation yard
