  26. Guidance For Localities Debris Management Plans should be developed prior to a storm event to identify: Staff roles and responsibilities, Waste and debris collection methods (curbside pickup, citizen drop-off, etc.), Potential locations for emergency debris management sites, Waste management options (reuse, recycle, mulch, compost, landfill, etc.), Resources needed (such as heavy equipment, fuel, or additional staff) v. availability, Contracted services for cleanup and monitoring, Special procedures for private property demolition and debris removal, and Plans for communicating information to the public. 27

  27. Guidance for SWMFs Pump down all leachate storage tanks and lagoons Cover all exposed waste with compacted soil cover Staff / Public Communication Emergency contact information update Staff briefings on emergency procedures Acquire / prepare emergency and backup equipment  Cover open dumpsters and secure wastes and equipment that could be blown around Clear stormwater conveyance channels, sediment traps, and sediment ponds to ensure adequate capacity and performance Improve landfill cover systems to maintain positive drainage and avoid ponding or infiltration of water Prepare facility roads to ensure routes will be passable Schedule household hazardous waste collection events prior to storm seasons 28

  28. Guidance for SWMFs – After the Storm • Inspect major components of facility operations to identify and repair any damage • Notify DEQ if temporary tonnage increases or extended operating hours are expected • Monitor landfill leachate levels to maintain less than 30 cm (12 in) head on bottom liner • Report to DEQ (within 24 hours and 5 days in writing) any noncompliance or unusual conditions that may endanger health or environment, such as: • unauthorized discharges of leachate, washwater, or other pollutant to surface water • leachate accumulations outside the lined waste disposal area or in a sediment basin • damage to gas or groundwater monitoring or remediation system components • interruptions to facility operations requiring diversion of waste to another facility • Document emergency conditions and facility responses through photos, checklists, etc. 29
