ESF-3 AnnexESF-3 Annex(Updated Jan ‘08)(Updated Jan ‘08)
During response activities, DOD/USACE is the primary agency for providing: Technical assistance Engineering Construction management resources and support
DHS/FEMA is the primary agency for providing: Recovery resources (Public Assistance Program) Support
Close coordination maintained between Federal, state, tribal and local officials to determine needs and track status of R&R activities Joint determination of priorities
Support agency (EPA) reps co-locate with ESF-3 field personnel to coordinate support
10
ESF-3 Annex (cont)ESF-3 Annex (cont) Monitoring & stabilization of damaged structures
In CBRN events, demo coordinated with ESF-10 Management, monitoring, technical advice in
clearance, removal, or disposal of debris Collection, segregation and transport haz matls
incidental to building demo debris: HHW from homes Oil & gas from motorized equipment Freon from appliances Electronic goods
Hazardous materials containers intermingled with debris, such as drums, tanks, cylinders containing oil and hazardous materials are managed under ESF-10
11
ESF-3 Annex (cont)ESF-3 Annex (cont) Management of contaminated debris is a joint
effort with ESF #10 and FEMA CBRN contaminated debris or soil Activities include:
Waste sampling Classification Packaging Transportation Treatment Demolition Disposal
Within the debris zone and to support ESF-3 objectives i.e., road clearing, public property
12
ESF-3 Annex (cont)ESF-3 Annex (cont) Manage, monitor and/or provide technical advice in
demolition, removal & disposal of buildings / structures with CBRN elements in consultation with ESF-10
Scope of actions: Air monitoring and sampling Waste sampling, classification, packaging, transport,
treatment (on and off site), demolition and disposal (on and off site)
ESF-10 leads the identification, analysis, selection and implementation of cleanup actions when Fed assistance is requested Except at other Fed facilities
Building decon led by ESF-10
13
ESF-3 Annex (cont)ESF-3 Annex (cont) As a supporting agency, EPA has a long list of
functions: Infrastructure protection – waste, wastewater (HSPD-7) Determine suitability of water supplies, id hazards Id critical water/wastewater needs Determine op status of water/wastewater infrastructure Assistance to States on MSW, C&D management Id, safety at areas w/ hazmat Coordinate with ESF-2 on CBRN & WMD
debris/demolition management Assist w/ investigation & intel analysis on hazmat
incidents involving waste/wastewater systems PROVIDE EXPERTISE ON WASTE AND DEBRIS DISPOSAL

Planning for Natural Disaster Planning for Natural Disaster DebrisDebris
Background Purpose Contents Status
Updates the 1995 version based on lessons learned from disasters that have occurred since
22
BackgroundBackgroundGAO’s recommendation:
“Provide more detailed guidance to state and local entities on managing debris disposal following disasters to better ensure protection of public health and the environment and prevent the creation of future Superfund sites”
“This guidance should address the selection of landfill sites for disaster debris, including advance selection of potential landfill sites, and practices to consider when making special accommodations for debris disposal in emergency situations.”
23
PurposePurpose
Encourage locals to plan BEFORE a disaster strikes
Know that planning allows ample time for decision making, environmental assessments, public comment, and contract procurement/pre-qualification
Encourage environmental protectiveness Perform environmental assessments Awareness of environmental hazards and how to handle
them Understand management options and possible
consequences
24
Purpose (cont)Purpose (cont) Understand lessons learned by others
Know what others faced, how they handled obstacles, and what they would have done differently
Innovative methods for managing disaster debris Disaster debris management plans created by others
Encourage recycling where practicable Understand recycling options and obstacles
Inform local communities about available resources
Learn about various federal, state, and local agencies that can provide assistance
25
ContentsContents
Components of a disaster debris management plan Debris management options
Segregate wastes and manage each stream appropriately Identify disposal areas and perform environmental
assessments in advance Reuse/recycle where possible to minimize the burden on
landfills Examples of local and state plans

Disaster Debris Recovery Disaster Debris Recovery NetworkNetworkGoal:
Provide support tools for responders: Incident Management Teams (Planning Section) States, local governments Businesses, contractors
Objectives:1) Define the WHERE & WHO for specific debris streams
Focus on proper disposal and recovery2) Build capacity of debris management contractors3) Share information with state & local governments
