1.2. DEBRIS MANAGEMENT PLAN OVERVIEW

Collier County government is responsible to provide for the public health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Collier County and recognizes the responsibility to be prepared for a debris-generating event.

Collier County has designated the Solid and Hazardous Management Division with the responsibility to safely remove debris from the County’s right of ways. This Disaster Debris Management Plan (DDMP) (Plan) does not address debris in waterways which falls under the responsibility of the Growth Management Division.

Situated on the Southwest Coast of Florida, Collier County is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, and wildfires. Disasters most often produce substantial volumes of debris, creating hazardous conditions that endanger public health, welfare, and safety and disrupt the essential daily lifestyle and economy of the community. These disruptions are a result of the following:

• Obstructed or unsafe roadways

• Obstructed or unsafe right-of-way and pedestrian walkways

• Environmental offenses resulting from hazardous material spills or releases; the resulting contaminations of soils, ground, and surface waterways; and potential sources for air pollution

Disasters will result in large expenditures of labor, equipment, materials, and supplies at substantial cost to the County. It is imperative that Collier County be prepared to provide all necessary disaster recovery services and have the means to recover all eligible costs from state and federal agencies that have funds available to assist local governments in coping with all natural and human-caused disasters.

Protection of public health, welfare, life, and safety are the highest priority and it is mandatory that there be an early, safe, and quick response to restoring environmentally safe and economically viable conditions to the disaster-affected areas. This objective has the highest priority in the County’s planning efforts as well as the ability to deal with all damage. It is to this end that Collier County developed this Disaster Debris Management Plan (DDMP).

The purpose of the County DDMP is to outline the components critical to the success of preparing the County for a natural disaster and debris removal operations in the aftermath. The DDMP provides key information that will help the County coordinate and effectively manage a turnkey debris removal effort if the County were to be impacted by a major debris-generating event. Key components of a successful debris removal operation is the County’s understanding of the following elements prior to a debris-generating event:

• Parties involved and their roles and responsibilities regarding preparation and debris removal operations

• Rules, regulations, and guidelines enacted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other agencies governing debris removal

• Preparation for a debris causing event

• Process and operations of collecting debris

• Disposal of debris, including where the debris will be staged for reduction and/or hauled for final disposal

11 December 1, 2023

1.3. PLAN DEVELOPMENT

To initiate the planning process for disaster preparation and recovery, Collier County has identified the resources necessary for critical decisions and successful recovery efforts. The DDMP will outline resources plans, policies, and procedures to ensure compliance with national best practices for debris management.

Major components of this DDMP, including the following:

• Roles and responsibilities

• Planning assumptions

• Debris collection and removal strategy

• Debris management sites and final disposal facilities

• Debris removal on private property

• Use of force account labor and contracted debris services

• Debris monitoring operations

• Risk and damage assessment

• Health and safety requirements

• Environmental and regulatory requirements

• Public information

• Debris monitoring and removal service contracts

• Note: Waterway debris removal is under the responsibility of the Growth Management Department. The

Waterway Debris Plan can be found in Appendix N of this plan. All disaster debris management operations will be coordinated with the County as the applicant.

2. EVENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS

2.1. HISTORICAL EVENTS

Since 1876, Collier County has been impacted by sixteen (16) hurricanes and five (5) tropical storms (see Table 2-1), making it one of the more active areas on the Gulf Coast. Hurricanes have impacted the County from the southeast, west, southwest, and almost directly from the south. Additionally, tropical systems that affect the County from the east may not decrease in magnitude because they have already made landfall.

Hurricane Wilma increased in strength over the Everglades after an initial landfall temporarily decreased its strength to a Category 2 storm.

Most recently, Collier County sustained major impacts from Hurricane Ian which made landfall as a category 4 hurricane on September 28, 2022, at Cayo Costa. A total of 1,371,802 cubic yards of debris was collected from Collier County from Hurricane Ian. In addition, 92 units of E-waste, 1,952 units of white goods, and 11,255 pounds of household hazardous waste was collected in response to Hurricane Ian.

In Table 2-1 is a list of the hurricanes, and tropical storms for which Collier County received a declaration of disaster and/or collected debris. The table also lists the quantities of vegetation, construction and demolition (C&D) debris collected, and the number of debris management sites (DMS) used in response to the disaster.

Collier County has also been affected by tornadoes. Most recently, on January 16, 2022, five tornadoes tore through southwest Florida. One of those tornadoes moved through Lely. The EF0 tornado had a path of 15 miles long and 75 yards wide. It started 6 miles north-northwest of Marco Island and ended 6 miles south-southwest of Golden Gate. The tornado was on the ground from 9:07 a.m. to 9:35 a.m. Winds as estimated to have reached 85 miles per hour. The winds were strong enough to overturn a semi-tractor trailer.

A second EF0 tornado formed in Collier County at 10:53 a.m. northwest of Chokoloskee and ended at 11:01 a.m., 4 miles northeast of Everglades City. The second tornado was on the ground for 5.5 miles and was 75 yards wide. Winds from the second tornado were also estimated to have reached 85 miles per hour.

While both hurricanes and tornadoes are possible in the County, the most likely debris-generating event to strike Collier County is a tropical cyclone. A tropical cyclone is defined as a low-pressure system with closed circulation that has sustained winds of at least 39 mph (tropical storms). A tropical cyclone becomes a hurricane when sustained winds reach 74 mph. The damaging forces of hurricanes and tropical storms include high velocity winds, rain, and storm surge, which can have devastating effects on buildings, residences, vegetation, and public infrastructure. As winds increase, so does the damage and quantity of debris.

Storm surge results from low pressure in the center of the storm that allows water levels of the ocean to rise and lift, then fall gently. Wave action from wind on top of the surge, or lifting, is what causes flooding as waves and surge approach the land. The most severe damage frequently occurs in coastal areas. Areas including coastal Collier County, City of Naples, City of Marco Island, City of Everglades City, and Chokoloskee are extremely vulnerable to damage caused by storm surge and tide.

The coastal population of Collier County has increased over the years, putting more people and structures at risk to a natural disaster. The amount of debris generated by such an event would depend on the path, intensity, duration, and timing of the storm. The County and municipalities must be ready to effectively manage a massive debris cleanup effort following a hurricane.

The models used to generate the debris estimates within this plan are based on a collaboration of industry standards, United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) modeling, HAZUS modeling, and historical data from other tropical events as well as historical data from past impacts to Collier County.

15 December 1, 2023

The USACE Model is based on the formula Q=H(C)(V)(B)(S)

Where:

Q = Cubic Yards (CY of debris)

H = Number of households in the community

C = Storm Category Factor

V = Vegetative characteristic multiplier

B = Commercial multiplier

S = Precipitation characteristic multiplier

Collier County is susceptible to hurricane impacts that occur from multiple directions. The most probable hazards with potential to generate widespread debris in the County were evaluated. Additionally, within each hazard, multiple scenarios, each with different magnitudes of debris generation potential should be considered. No two scenarios are alike. The completion of models for various scenarios assists the County in planning and preparing for any event that might occur.

The following Table (2-2) focuses on debris-generating events that may significantly impact a large portion of Collier County and generate high debris volumes. Resources may be strained throughout the County, and a Presidential Disaster Declaration for Category A Public Assistance (PA) would be immediate or imminent due to the following:

• Widespread debris and damages throughout the County

• Widespread power outages

• Debris volume exceeds the capacity of local resources

Post-event debris estimates have the potential to exceed 4,000,000 CY. It is likely that this type of event would exceed the County’s capacity to conduct debris removal and management with internal resources.

The period for debris removal and demobilization may last from a few months to one year and beyond.

These estimations are an important part of preparing for an impending disaster.

• Manager, Environmental Compliance

• Manager, Capital Improvement

The Debris Team will identify a County Debris Manager. This individual will be tasked with coordinating debris operations in collaboration with the EOC and other County departments, the debris hauler, debris monitor, as well as state and federal agencies. Further, many positions from SHWMD have been identified to support the EOC, while others are assigned to provide damage assessments and coordination, and others to operate in a Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP) fashion. These positions shall keep their Alert Collier Role updated accordingly. Those who perform damage assessments and coordination do not report to the EOC and are in the field coordinating efforts between the Debris Team and the Contractor and other support, as needed.

Appendix K highlights major roles and responsibilities that are critical to supporting a debris recovery mission, while Sections 5 through 9 detail time delineated Action Items for all County and non-County agencies that aide in debris recovery missions. It is critical for this listing be reviewed as part of the annual DDMP. For an abbreviated listing, reference Appendix L.

Many agencies support the debris recovery mission in a liaison or tool and resource fashion and are not necessary part of a particular phase, rather integrated into the process. Appendix K and L provide checklist style references of the detailed reference within this text.

25 December 1, 2023

Risk The Risk Management Department serves as the County’s liaison for insurance claims, County asset damage, and employee safety, including review of any safety plans. They serve an integral part to ensure health and safety policies are followed in matters of debris removal, as well as maintain insurance claims.

To effectively document damages and expenses, it is recommended that Facilities Management and Risk Management coordinate to ensure proper documentation is in place to facilitate reimbursement with insurance, grant, or other monies, including but not limited to pre-existing condition and insurance claim information, if applicable.

3.4. STATE AND FEDERAL ASSISTANCE

National Incident Management System Compliance The National Incident Management System (NIMS) provides a systematic, proactive approach to guide departments and agencies at all government levels, as well as, in nongovernmental organizations, and in the private sector, to work seamlessly to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate

26 December 1, 2023 the effects of incidents. This approach works regardless of cause, size, location, or complexity of the emergency and reduces the loss of life and property and harm to the environment. The County EOC requires debris and emergency management personnel to possess a basic understanding of NIMS concepts and principles. In all events, documentation of this coursework completion by personnel is required for FEMA reimbursement.

State Assistance If the County’s debris removal resources have been exceeded and the County cannot supply the additional resources needed, the County’s EOC will forward a request for resources to the Florida Division of Emergency Management, State Emergency Operation Center for further disposition and action.

Operation of temporary debris staging sites and final disposal will require close cooperation with the FDEP, Southeast District.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is responsible for the clearance of debris from designated State roads within the County and may be called upon to render additional debris removal assistance, if required. A map of State Roads is included in APPENDIX E.

Federal Assistance The County EOC staff may request federal assistance when advised by the County Debris Manager or designee that the debris‐generating incident exceeds both the County’s and the private contractor’s debris clearing, removal, and disposal capabilities. The EOC staff will forward the request for a mission assignment through the State Emergency Operation Center to FEMA Region IV. Further, the EOC will assist other agencies for federal aid needs and ensure compliance with federal assistance programs.

Federal agencies participating in technical or direct debris removal assistance:

• FEMA – May assist in providing technical assistance for debris operations, assists in the environmental and historical preservation review process, manages the Public Assistance grant program reimbursement process, and provides procurement assistance.

• United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – May assist in the removal of debris from publicly maintained commercial harbors and from and water areas immediately adjacent to them.

The USACE may also participate in the removal of sunken vessels or other obstructions from navigable waterways under emergency conditions.

• Natural Resources Conservation Services (Unites States Department of Agriculture) – May assist with the removal of debris from waterways and channels, particularly man‐made and maintained channels vital to the drainage of storm waters.

• United States Coast Guard (USCG) – Coordinates with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct emergency removal of oil and other hazardous materials from coastal zones, harbors, and channels, and will coordinate the removal of navigational hazards. The Coast Guard may also provide technical assistance on contaminated water‐borne debris in coastal zones.

• Office of Inspector General – Conducts audits to ensure disaster relief funds are spent appropriately.

27 December 1, 2023

3.5. PRIVATE SECTOR BUSINESS ENTERPRISE

Private businesses have a very large role in management of mass debris operations. In the event the County does not have enough internal resources to conduct debris operations during a widespread debris generating incident, the County can be augmented by contracted service providers. The County maintains a listing of active Contracts that can aide in Natural Disaster Recovery and a listing of general contractors that could support that the County and specify if they have a contract with the County.

3.6. PRE-POSITIONED CONTRACTS FOR DEBRIS RECOVERY

The County maintains pre-positioned contracts for debris removal and monitoring that can support the County following a disaster that generates a large amount of debris. APPENDIX B: Key Contacts, lists the contact information for the County Monitoring Firm and Debris Removal Contractors. APPENDIX R: Debris Removal Contractor and Monitoring Firm Solicitation, includes additional details regarding the evaluation and selection of the debris removal and monitoring contractors and the subsequent executed contracts.

It is also recommended that through the Procurement & Contracts Administration Department, redundant contracts for needs and supplies are maintained and an updated listing of contractors/vendors and what they may be able to support in the event of a disaster are provided to Debris Response Agencies.

Examples include security guards, generators, pumper trucks, etc.

Debris Clearance and Removal Contractor If the scope of debris collection operations is beyond the capabilities of local resources, state, and mutual aid resources, it may be necessary to contract for labor and equipment. Responsibilities of the debris clearance and removal contractor include the following:

• Immediately following a declared disaster, clear and remove debris from jurisdiction roadways and waterways to render them passable.

• Conduct debris removal from the right-of-way (ROW).

• Decommission, demolish, and dispose of eligible non-regulated asbestos-containing material (non-

RACM) structures on private property.

• Conduct truck certifications.

• Perform DMS monitoring.

• Conduct disposal monitoring.

• Conduct ROW collection monitoring.

• Conduct monitoring and documentation of hazardous tree removal and specialized debris removal programs such as waterways debris removal and private property debris removal.

3.7. NONPROFIT SECTOR

The County may partner with nonprofit and volunteer organizations to help individuals with disabilities and/or access and functional needs. These nonprofit and volunteer organizations should coordinate with the appropriate County agencies to ensure that their efforts are consistent with operational objectives and to ensure that response efforts proceed in a safe manner to minimize risk of injuries, in keeping aligned with the Health and Safety Strategy (see APPENDIX I). These entities will not be asked to conduct tasks beyond their members’ training or capabilities. Roles and responsibilities of nonprofit organizations in debris operations are as follows:

• Identify vulnerable populations and incorporate strategies to assist these populations.

• Help individuals with disabilities and access and functional needs bring debris to the public ROW.

• Provide public information regarding debris operations to populations with communication barriers.

• Provide debris services to vulnerable and underserved groups, individuals, and communities as necessary.

Partnerships with nonprofit shall be coordinated with the County Attorney’s Office (CAO) for legal compliance.

3.8. DOCUMENTATION

Accurate and complete cost tracking is critical to obtain assistance for disaster-related costs. Emergency protective measures can be eligible for reimbursement. Reimbursement, audits, and contractor payments are managed through Budget, and they shall dictate paperwork flow and processes. Budget may seek guidance and/or resources from other agencies in this regard.

Cost and resource tracking shall commence as soon as warning is activated, and staff must carefully identify resources and document work that is separate from daily job duties. Accounting best practices for tracking costs includes the following:

• Identify a person that will be responsible for compiling disaster-related costs for the jurisdiction.

• Establish a cost code for disaster-related costs.

• Establish a file structure for each site where recovery work has been or will be performed.

• Maintain accurate disbursement and accounting records to document the work performed and the cost incurred.

• Obtain and review applicable local, state, and federal policies and regulations.

• Document administrative costs.

• Begin compiling recovery project documentation, including:

29 December 1, 2023 o Executed contracts, bids, periods of performance, and locations worked o Property insurance o Donated resources (labor, equipment, and materials) o Mutual aid o Force account labor o Force account equipment o Equipment rental agreements o Fuel logs o Materials including meals and gas purchases o Description of damage o Scope of work to be completed o Photos of damage o Copies of estimates o Maintenance records o Site inspection records o Special considerations

• Coordinate with state and federal agencies to obtain disaster-specific cost tracking spreadsheets and templates.

4. PLANNING STAGES

This section provides guidance required for all operations of debris-generating event, related to the debris recovery mission. For the purposes of this DDMP, the following Levels are detailed (a printable version can be found in APPENDIX A):

Normal Operations Level: Outside of hurricane/storm season. Typically, December through May.

Level I: Hurricane Alert: A hurricane/storm is heading in the general direction of Southwest

Florida and should be monitored for the possibility of striking Collier County. 36 to 72 hours prior to land fall.

Level II: Hurricane Watch: A hurricane/storm is heading towards Collier County and may threaten to strike. 24 to 36 hours prior to land fall.

Level III: Hurricane Warning: A hurricane/storm is headed directly towards Collier County and surrounding areas and is expected to strike within 24 to 12 hours prior to landfall.

Level IV: Hurricane Eventuality: A hurricane/storm is imminent. All preparations should have been made by this time.

Level V: Hurricane Response: When the hurricane/storm has diminished as determined by the Emergency Management Director. Emergency Personnel are tending to life safety circumstances and FPL assessing needs.

Level VI: Hurricane Recovery: Once a storm has passed, recovery process activated by Emergency

Management Director, indicating it is safe for Damage Assessment and operations to commence.

Level VII: Hurricane Post Event: The majority of major roads are clear and operations are well underway.

The Stages do not include response and recovery time frames, as severity, nature, and other attributes will dictate the recovery mission timeframes. At any of these stages the CMO or CAO may delegate signature authority for legal documents, including mutual agreements, interlocal agreements, and contracted service providers. In addition, the Board of County Commissioners may develop or implement policies and/or Ordinances that can affect a Recovery Mission.

31 December 1, 2023

5. NORMAL OPERATION ACTIONS

Normal operations refer to the period when the County is not in any serious threat of a disaster. Severe weather can occur at any time, leaving the County constantly susceptible to debris-generating incidents.

Therefore, it is imperative to maintain a constant state of preparedness throughout normal operations by reviewing and updating the plan annually.

The normal operations phase is the ideal time for the Debris Team to work with Procurement to establish or review pre-positioned contracts with its monitoring firm and debris removal contractor(s), and work with Real Property to identify and secure pre-approval from the FDEP for locations to serve as DMS locations, and review current local ordinances and their historical impact on debris removal operations.

The normal operations phase is preparation time, an ideal time for EOC, CMO, the County Leadership, and other lead and supporting departments and agencies to re-evaluate the roles, responsibilities, and terms of engagement of each entity involved. The purpose of this evaluation is to ensure that all impacted departments, municipalities, and external agencies maintain the capacity to fulfill their obligations in a timely and effective manner should a disaster strike the County. Once roles and responsibilities have been re-evaluated, a review and update of the plan should be conducted annually. The Debris Team should coordinate meetings annually with the appropriate agencies and its pre-positioned monitoring firm, debris removal contractors, and other stakeholders (i.e. Road and Bridge), to ensure appropriate preparedness levels, operational consistency, and effective communication. The normal operations guidance is also provided in APPENDIX L.

5.1. COOP/PREPAREDNESS/RESPONSE PLAN UPDATES

It will be the responsibility of each department and agency to review and update their respective COOP/Preparation/Response Plan, and identify resources and address needs to ensure protection of the public’s health, safety, and welfare, as well as protection of County assets and staff.

The review will consider at least the following:

• Changes in mission

• Changes in concept of operations

• Changes in organization

• Changes in responsibility

• Changes in contracts

• Changes in priorities.

Each Division’s COOP/Preparedness/Response Plan shall discuss preparation plans and identify and detail key roles, responsibilities, and contact information. These documents shall also include an asset listing and note the staging area for critical assets, particularly those assets that may be needed in a recovery mission, such as loaders and generators. The Debris Team will coordinate with GIS to maintain a map with layers of the critical infrastructure, with overlays for the debris zones in order to highlight and provide reference to contractors and/or other stakeholders.

These documents should be evaluated and updated at least annually to reflect any changes, and of most importance, be updated right before Hurricane Season (typically June 1), to ensure the list of resources and plans are available to help meet response needs. Each County employee is required to utilize Alert Collier and select a role, as defined by each Division’s Director, in the event of a named emergency. By

32 December 1, 2023 ensuring the Agency’s Plan is regularly updated it will assist other Divisions that are responsible for additional or separates tasks during an emergency incident determine if those needs are met (e.g. staffing phones and shelters). Further, this offers the opportunity to provide adequate training with staff on roles and responsibilities, as outlined in their respective plan.

The Debris Team will facilitate a request from each agency of at least the following (reference APPENDIX B):

• Key Contact’s Information and Role

• Access to Critical Infrastructure

Each Agency’s Plan can be found in the APPENDIX M through P of this DDMP.

5.2. OUTSIDE STAKEHOLDER UPDATES

Outside agencies, like the Florida Department of the Environment (FDEP), Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), Collier County Public Schools (CCPS), Florida Power and Light (FPL), Teco Energy, and FDOT play just as critical of a role as internal County Agencies. They are a critical component to any Debris Recovery Operation for knowing who to call for what resources. That information is essential to have before the need arises. During this time, it is critical to obtain the contacts for Fire Houses, and review Fire District Maps as well. When updating contacts, it is in the County’s best interest to review expectations and discuss any anticipated needs. Topic discussions may include resources for security with CCSO, equipment storage with Fire houses, and information flow for areas cleared for FPL access.

Further, the interlocal agreements initiate needs for CCPS, the City of Marco Island, the City of Naples, and Everglades City. The Debris Team shall meet with these stakeholders regarding needs and priorities, including but not limited to access, especially with some schools serving as a shelter as well.

It is vital Road and Bridge key staff review first push communication and needs with the EOC, CCSO, and Fire Districts.

5.3. REVIEW AND UPDATE MAPS

Reviewing and updating lists and maps is a preparation or Normal Operations required task for a successful debris recovery mission. Facilities can provide any new County owned facility, including parks, fire houses, etc., information that is needed to effectively communicate.
