Plan Purpose
The purpose of the City of Marysville Disaster Debris Management Plan is to establish a
framework to prepare the city for the possibility of a small,large or citywide disaster requiring
removal of debris in the city right-of"way or impeding movement of responders or
relocation/evacuation of citi~ens to a staging site for temporary storage/recycling and transport to
disposal.This plan also serves in a regional disaster;laying the groundwork for cooperative
response and recovery.
Scope
This Disaster Debris Management Plan covers the response and recovery to all debris-causing
incidents within the Jurisdictional boundaries of The City of Marysville.This plan also covers
additional tasks required to maintain jurisdictional disaster debris management readiness,
including training,exercises,and plan maintenance.
Alignment with Other Plans
City of Marysville Disaster Debris Management Plan
This plan is an annex to the Snohomish County Public Works Disaster Debris Management Plan.
City of Marysville Emergency Plans
This plan is designed to stand-alone,but it aligns with other plans including:
a.City of Marysville Vulnerability Assessment
b.City of Marysville Water System Emergency Response Plan
c.City of Marysville Public Works Emergency Response Plan
This plan was assembled by City of Marysville Public Works staff with input from City of
Marysville Solid Waste and Engineering staff.Ongoing maintenance of the plan is the
responsibility of the Public Works Director and assigned staff.
Plan Revisions
Because of changes in staffing,organization,and external factors,this plan will be reviewed
semi-annually prior to the fire season (April)and prior to the storm season (September),and
updated as needed.This semi-annual plan review schedule aligns with the Snohomish County
Disaster Debris Management Plan review schedule.In the event a revision is required outside of
the normal review period,it is the responsibility of the Plan Manager to ensure that revised pages
are distributed to plan holders.During plan review,specific attention will be directed to key plan
components,including specific assigned roles and responsibilities,contact information for
internal staff and external resources,and the location and status of identified Debris Management
Sites (DMS).
Corresponding county,regional,state,and federal response activities are outlined in their
respective response plans,policies,protocols,and procedures.
1
Mission
This plan integrates crisis and consequence management consistent with the National Homeland
Security Strategy,Homeland Security Presidential Directive -8,the National Response
Framework and the National lncident Management System (NlMS).These documents integrate
the concepts by establishing a set of incident management priorities concerning emergency and
major disaster incident outlined below:
1.Save lives and protect the health and safety of the public,responders,and recovery
workers.
2.Protect property and mitigate damages and impact to individuals,corrununities,and
the environment.
3.Facilitate recovery of individuals,families,businesses,governments,and the
environment.
This Disaster Debris Management Plan supplements the City of Marysville Comprehensive
Emergency Management Plan (CEMP)already in effect as well as existing departmental plans
and procedures for preparedness,response and recovery.
Situation and Assumptions
Situation:
Marysville,Washington is located five (5)miles north of Everett with a population of 60,000.A
major disaster,especially involving a catastrophic earthquake or flood will cause significant
damage resulting in debris in the.city right-of-way and road systems requiring activation of the
Snohomish County Public Works Solid Waste Division Disaster Debris Management Plan.This
plan encompasses the City of Marysville's response to an incident requiring the staging and/or
disposal of debris.The city will also rely on existing policies,plans,and procedures to respond to
and recOver from such an incident.
Due to the agreements in place between jurisdictional,governmental and nongovernmental
organizations,the management of a large or small-scale debris staging and/or disposal will
become a multi-agency coordinated event.One of these agreements includes our Snohomish
County Department of Emergency Management (OEM)Interlocal Agreement (ILA).A copy of
this ILA is located at the City Clerk's office as well as the Public Works department files.
Assumptions:
A citywide catastrophic disaster would quickly overwhelm the city's resources.Debris
management involving the City of Marysville will likely involve local,county and state agencies.
lnitial response operations will likely be limited to city resources.Public anXiety related to a
catastrophic disaster will require effective delivery of accurate and concise risk communication
by the City of Marysville through the Emergency Operations Center.
2
Applicable Rules and Regulations:
This section provides an overview of the state and local regulations and policies that
affect how the City of Marysville handles disaster debris including debris reduction and
debris management site (DMS)and neighborhood collection site operations.This section
also addresses the envirorunental and policy considerations for reducing,recycling and
disposing of the disaster debris at debris sites.
Planning:
The City of Marysville has identified two (2)debris management sites within its
jurisdictional boundaries.A representative from the Snohomish County Health District
has reviewed the debris management site and neighborhood collection site locations and
given provisional approval of the operations plan associated with those sites.The City of
Marysville will notify the Health District prior to activating the site.s.
Response:
The City of Marysville will initiate debris and neighborhood site preparation activities
during the response phase.A preliminary plan will be developed for reducing,recycling
and disposing of the debris based on general estimates of the type of material generated
by the event.Once a preliminary determination has been made,this plan will be
communicated to the Snohomish Health District for their guidance on the applicability of
regulations to the operations and monitoring ofthe debris sites and disposition of the
disaster debris.Since homeowners will be waiting for insurance companies to take
pictures and document damages for claims purposes,there is no emergent need to open
these sites within hoors of the event but rather within days.
The Debris Removal Manager will initiate site preparation activities.In the event that
disaster debris crosses jurisdictional boundaries,the Debris Removal Manager will
contact his or her counterparts within neighboringjorisdictions and the County to
coordinate efforts in understanding the rules and regulations that will affect operations
and recordkeeping at the debris management sites and to coordinate operations and
infonnation.
Contact information for the key envirorunental agencies is provided in Appendix A,
Debris Resources.These include;Puget Sound Clean Air Agency,Snohomish County
Health District,City of Marysville Solid Waste Department,and Waste Management
Northwest.

CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
General
Pre,Planning for an emergency or disaster situation that would trigger the need for large scale
debris collection and disposal will aid in the city's ability to successfully respond and recover.
The following outline is a summary of the primary planning considerations required when an
incident of such magnitude and destruction forces the decision to relocate/evacuate all or part of
the city.
I.Activate the City EOC.
2.The Mayor and or Council request an Emergency Declaration.
3.If not already activated,the City EOC Manager will request through Snohomish County
Department of Emergency Management (OEM)that the Snohomish County Public Works
Solid Waste Division Disaster Debris Management Plan be activated.
4.The City Public Works Department will prioritize debris removal areas based on required
response routes,relocation/evacuation routes or other criteria.These response routes are
listed in the City of Marysville Public Works Emergency Response Plan,This plan is located
on the City server as well as a hard copy in the Public Works Offices
This plan will be used by City of Marysville staff when a command structure is established in
response to a debris-causing incident that impacts all or palt of the jurisdiction or neighboring
jurisdictions.
Roles and Responsibilities:
This section identifies roles and responsibilities for internal and external agencies during a
disaster debris incident.
Debris Management Team:
Immediately following a disaster event,Marysville will assemble its disaster debris management
team.This team will convene as a group to facilitate successful coordination following a disaster
event.This team is comprised of City personnel and the County.Each member of the team is
responsible for implementing debris operations in accordance with the planned goals and
objectives,and in compliance with Federal,State,and local Jaws.The debris management team
will be lead by the Debris Removal Manager who will identify staff for the group.
City of Marysville Departments:
Supporting disaster debris management operations will involve multiple departments and
divisions in the City.This section outlines the roles and responsibilities for each involved agency.
Public Works:The public works department is the lead department responsible for pre-event
debris management planning and actual operations during an event.public works staff will direct
debris operations during response and recovery.
Office of EmergenClj Management:The Marysville Office of Emergency Management will
coordinate activities and resource needs through the Snohomish County Department of
4
Emergency Management (OEM)EOe.This Office is also the appJicant agent for FEMA
reimbursement.
Police Department:City of Marysville's Police Department will be in charge of closing roads
and helping with access to damaged areas.They will control crowds and help coordinate clean-
up efforts after the demands of life safety have been met.
Fire Department:The Fire Department will administer first-aid and supply the resources to
control fire and inspections of damaged homes and businesses.

ensure any contracts are compliant with Federal /FEMA requirements and ensure tracking
documents are sufficient to obtain maximum reimbursement.
Direction and Control:
The City of Marysville EOC will coordinate with Snohomish County DEM and the State of
Washington to request necessary resources and assistance.
Contractors and Vendors
Contractors and vendors are often used to augment local resources in support of debris
management operations.
Solid Waste Collection Companies
Solid waste collection companies are private entities that provide daily municipal solid waste
service through the transportation and/or disposal of solid waste.During debris-causing incidents,
these companies are expected to maintain existing municipal solid waste service,and can be
additionally tasked with providing additional resources to assist with debris clearance,processing,
and disposal activities.Copies of agreements with outside waste collection companies can be
found in the Public Works department files.
Debris management contractors provide additional resources to assist with debris clearance,and
separation during debris-causing incidents.These contractors can be put under contract prior to an
incident to ensure efficient response and manageable costs during or after an actual incident or
event.Federal agencies,such as the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE}and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),may also have contract resources available to assist
with debris management operations.
5
Debris Management MonitoringContractors
Debris monitoring contractors provide oversight and documentation of debris management
operations.This may include supervising other debris management contractors,documenting
debris clearance and disposal operations for potential reimbursement,and operations of debris
management sites.
Snohomish County has developed an emergency on-call contract with Debris Contractors for
disaster debris monitoring following an incident.Contact Snohomish County Solid Waste
Division for more information.The City of Marysville will lean on this contract to staff their
neighborhood collection sites in a large debris generating event.
Recycling and Composting Facilities
During an incident it may be necessary to utilize a variety ofresources to recycle,compost,or
otherwise reduce different types of debris.These resources provide an alternative to divert waste
from landfills and may provide additional economic and environmental benefits.Additionally,
use of local resoUrces keeps the jobs and revenue in this County.
Additional Resources:
This section lists additional resources that are available to support jurisdictional debris
management resources.
Local and County Resources:Additional resources may be available from neighboring
jurisdictions and county departments.
Federal Resources:The Snohomish County Public Works Disaster Debris Management Plan has
additional information on State and Federal Resources available.
Debris Collection and Hauling Operations
Debris Operations
Debris-clearing and removal operations predominately focus on public roads and other critical
infrastructure;they should be prioritized based on the debris removal priorities listed in the
Snohomish County Public Works Disaster Debris Management Plan.
Debris Clearance
Initial debris clearance will focus on removing debris from public property and public rights of
way based on the priorities listed in the Snohomish County Public Works Disaster Debris
Management Plan and the City of Marysville Lifeline Route Maps.Additional debris clearance
from private or commercial property may be necessary if the debris presents a health or safety
risk to the community.
Items to be considered during debris clearance and collection include the following:
•Debris composition:Commingling of debris creates problems with reduction and recycling
techniques,which may impact future reimbursement.Whenever possible,immediate action
should be taken to prevent or reduce commingling of debris during debris collection
operations.
6
•Location of debris:There will often be different reimbursement and operational guidelines
for debris clearance on public property,private residential,and private commercial property.
While debris clearance on private property is not usually a reimbursable expense,some
jurisdictions have cleared debris from private property in the past when it presented a health
or safety risk to the community.
Collection Methods
Based on the types and distribution of debris,several collection methods are available during a
debris causing incident:
Curbside:Residents may be asked to place their debris at the edge of the right of way for pickup.
If curbside pickup is used,residents should be instructed to separate their debris into multiple
categories including municipal solid waste,vegetative waste,construction and demolition debris,
household hazardous waste,and putrescibles.
Debris Management Site or Neighborhood Collection Site:Residents may be asked to bring
disaster debris to collection sites to temporarily store,segregate,and process debris before it is
hauled to its final disposal site.Ifpossible,the sites should remain at the same location for each
debris-causing incident and should be included in the incident communication strategy.Facilities
that can be used for drop-offs include debris drop boxes,debris management sites,large empty
parking lots not used to stage equipment or personnel,farm fields that are not located in the
floodway or plain.
Debris collection methods should be coordinated with neighboring jurisdictions and the
Jurisdiction's solid waste collection company.
Debris Management and Neighborhood Collection Sites
The City of Marysville has identified two classes Or sites fot use during debris management
operations.
• A neighborhood collection site is a temporary solid waste handling site used to consolidate
debris within a local jurisdiction or area for transfer to a debris management site (DMS)or a
permanent solid waste handling facility.The City has identified two such sites in the City.
• A debris management site is a temporary solid waste handling site used to collect,sort,and
reduce debris,including special waste,prior to final recycling or disposal.The City will
work with the County plan to use either Cavalero Hill Park DMS or the closed Lake Stevens
Landfill.
Site Management
Debris Management Site preparation and operation may be managed by the City of Marysville or
a contractor.To meet overall debris management strategy goals and to ensure that the site
operates efficiently,a site manager,debris monitoring personnel,and safety personnel should be
assigned for each site.City of Marysville personnel identified for staffing of each of these
positions,with responsibilities as follows:
•Site Manager:The site manager is responsible for supervising day-to-day operations,
maintaining daily logs,preparing site progress reports,and enforcing safety and permitting
7
requirements during site operations.The site manager is also responsible for scheduling the
environmental monitoring and updating the site layout.The site manager has oversight of the
activities of the debris removal contractors and the onsite debris processing contractors to
ensure that they comply with the terms of their contracts.
•Monitoring Staff and Assignments:Regional monitors (whether jurisdiction employees or
contractors)should be placed at ingress and egress points to quantify debris loads,issue load
tickets,inspect and validate tnlck capacities,check loads for hazardous waste,and perform
quality control checks.The specific duties of the monitors would depend on how debris is
collected.
•Safety Personnel:Safety personnel are responsible for traffic control and ensuring that site
operations comply with local,state,and federal occupational safety regulations.
Establishment and Operations Planning
Whenever possible,debris sites should be identified and established prior to an incident to allow
appropriate planning and permitting to be completed,The Snohomish County Public Works
Disaster Debris Management Plan has a full discussion of debris management site planning,
development,and operations.
Debris Management and Neighborhood Collection Site Locations
The City ofMarysville has located 2 debris management sites for use during disaster debris
operations that meet the criteria discussed below.Debris Reuse,Reduction,and Disposal
Methods
Numerous methods are available that reduce the overall volume of disaster debris and limit the
amount of debris remaining for landfill disposal.The Snohomish County Public Works Disaster
Debris Management Plan has additional information on reuse,reduction,and disposal methods
for use during disaster debris operations.
Debris Sorting and Diversion
When establishing and operating debris management and neighborhood collection sites the site
manager is responsible for ensuring appropriate staff are available to monitor debris and ensure
debris are sorted into appropriate categories for recycling,reuse,special waste processing,and
disposal.
Debris Management Operations Monitorhlg
Debris monitoring operations document the debris clearance and removal operations,including
the location and amount of debris colJected.Monitoring is needed to ensUre that the any debris
removal contractor(s)are performing the scope of work required by the contract,and to determine
eligibility for FEMA reimbursement.
Debris monitoring can be accomplished by City of Marysville staff,or by a debris monitoring
contractor hired by Marysville.
The key elements to observe and record when monitoring and documenting debris operations
include:
8
•Type of debris collected
•Amount of debris collected
•Original collection location
•Equipment usage
•Staff labor hours
•Amount processed and final disposition for each type of debris (reuse,recycle,special waste,
etc).
Documentation and Reporting Requirements
During the operation of debris management sites,any operations that will have a bearing on site
closeout need to documented,such as petroleum spills at fueling sites;hydraulic fluid spills at
equipment breakdowns;discovery of household hazardous waste;and commercial,agricultural,
or industrial hazardous and toxic waste storage and disposal.This information will be used during
site closeout operations.
Debris Management Contractor Monitoring
All jurisdictions that contract for debris operations should establish a contract monitoring plan.
The purpose of this plan is to protect a municipality's financial interest.Monitoring debris
removal operations achieves two objectives:
•Verification that the work completed by the contractor is in the contract scope of work
•Documented justification,as required,for Public Assistance grant reimbursement
Contractor monitoring can be accomplished by Marysville staff,or by a separate contract
company.Failure to document eligible work and costs may jeopardize Public Assistance Program
funding.In federally declared disasters,FEMA periodically validates a region's monitoring
efforts to ensure that eligible debris is being removed and processed efficiently.The Snohomish
County Public Works Disaster Debris Management Plan has additional information on contract
monitoring planning and establishment.
ORGANIZATION AND ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITIES
During disasters requiring activation ofthis plan,the Mayor shall have authority to designate
command of the implementation of this plan and will coordinate with Snohomish County DEM to
request additional resources.
In accordance with EOC structure,the command makeup during such events will be as follows:
1.Mayor
2.Mayor pro tem
3.City Administrator
4.Public WOrks Director
9
A.In a small scale event,debris will ~sually be handled by the City of Marysville's Public
Works Department
B.A medium to large scale disaster with debris in public right-of-way will require activation
of the Snohomish County Public Works Solid Waste Division Disaster Debris
Management Plan.The City will request activation through Snohomish County DEM.
RESPONSE
Marysville Public Works will be the lead department for this plan.Coordination of debris
management issues is a critical respollse activity and will be the responsibility of the City EOC.
Health and Safety Strategy:
Debris operations involve the use of heavy equipment to move and process various types of
debris.Many of these actions can pose safety hazards to emergency response and recovery
personnel as well as the public.In addition to those safety hazards,exposure to certain types of
debris,such as building materials that contain asbestos and mixed debris that contains hazardous
materials,can pose potential health risks to emergency workers.
All debris operations shall be in compliance with the health and safety requirements found in the
Snohomish County Public Works Disaster Debris Management Plan.A copy of this plan can be
found at the Snohomish County web site.The Health and Safety plan enables the agency and
their contractors to avoid accidents during debris recovery operations and to protect workers from
exposure to hazardous materials.The health and safety strategy establishes minimum safety
standards for the agency and contractor personnel to follow.In addition,the strategy provides
emergency workers with information Oil how to identifY hazardous conditions and specific
guidelines on the appropriate and proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
To facilitate compliance,the health and safety strategy specifies how the safety information will
be disseminated to all emergency employees and contractors,and how compliance with minimum
safety standards will be monitored.The strategy also includes specific corrective actions to be
taken if workers do not comply with the minimum safety standards.
Current Resources:
This chapter identifies the internal and external resources that the City of Marysville has for
debris clearance,removal,and disposal.
Staff
Debris operations staff is responsible for directing debris operations during and after an incident.
The size and composition of staff needed to deal with debris clearance,removal and disposal
depends on the magnitude of the disaster.City of Marysville staff may work in cooperation with
stafffrom the County and other jurisdictions.Debrisremoval stafflikely will be comprised of a
combination of full-time personnel,personnel from other agencies,and/or contractors depending
on the requirements of the incident.
10
During an incident,staff may be needed to assume one or more roles,including the following:
•Debris Removal Manager:A Debris Removal Manager coordinates all debris removal
activities related to an incident.Activities include communication among other members of
the disaster management team,communication and reporting of project status activity,and
dissemination and implementation of policy directives to debris removal personnel.
•Debris Collection Supervisor:A Debris Collection Supervisor oversees collection activities
prior to debris arrival at the disposal site and coordinates the debris routing,staffing,and field
reporting activities.
•Debris Site Supervisor:A Debris Site Supervisor manages one or more debris management or
neighborhood collection sites and is responsible for overseeing waste separation and
environmental protection concerns,as well as filling out paperwork and reporting
documentation.
•Finance,Administration,and Logistical Staff:These positions track time for personnel,
equipment,and incident costs.These pOSitions also assist with contracting and purchasing
resources,completing documentation required for reimbursement of expenses,and provides
check-in for demobilizing and restoration resources.
Additional specialized staff may be needed to act as technical specialists during planning,
response,and recovery for a debris-causing incident.These include the following:
•Debris Management SUbject Matter Expert (SME):A debris management 5MB provides
information and advice to command staff working in the operations and planning sections to
help guide disaster operations.
•Quality Assurance Personnel:Quality Assurance Personnel ensures the debris operations are
cost effective.They do this by monitoring the type and amount of debris during collection,
sorting,reduction,and disposal.
•Structural Engineer:A Structural Engineer oversees,inspects,and assesses impacted
structures and makes appropriate recommendations on building condemnation and
demolition.
•Legal Staff: Legal department staff conducts reviews and manages all legal matters in the
debris management planning process.In addition to advising the debris management planning
staff,the legal department may also perform the following tasks:
Contract review
Rights-of-entry permits
Community liability
Indemnification
Condemnation of buildings
Land acquisition for debris management sites
Site closure/restoration and insurance
11
•Public Information Officer:A Public Information Officer (PIO)familiar with debris
management issues should be assigned to the Incident Commander or Joint Information
Center (HC),as necessary.Responsibilities include coordinating with PIOs of other agencies
to keep the public informed about all debris removal activities and schedules.Immediately
after a disaster and throughout the removal and disposal operation,the PIO is responsible for
arranging for public notification of all ongoing and planned debris clearance,removal,and
disposal activities.
•Joint Infonnation Center (DC):
Communications should be coordinated through the Joint Information Center (JIC)or Joint
Information System (JIS);if a JlC or JlS has not been established,coordination should take
place through the jurisdiction's PIO.
•Message Maps:Message mapping isa process by which users can predict 95 percent of
questions likely to be asked by the media and others.In preparation of an incident,the City
of Marysville is developing prepared clear and concise answers to anticipated questions along
with supporting information;effective message delivery is practiced before a crisis occurs.
Developing Messages in Alternate Languages and Formats
Message materials have been developed in alternate languages that are spoken in the community.
Based on community demographics in Marysville,messages may need to be developed in the
following languages:
•Spanish
•Russian
•Korean
Alternate formats or message materials have also been developed to assist the special
needs population within the community.
RESTORATION AND RECOVERY
Restoration
Restoration of debris staging areas will be a major issue following a catastrophic disaster.Sites
will be restored to their pre-debris collection state.Debris Team Staff will photograph the sites
prior to placing boxes and /or debris to document the pre-even status.Sites will be restored to
that state.For sites that managed larger quantities of debris on the gTound,Debris Team Staff
will have ground samples taken before and after the event to ensure that any contamination
caused by debris is cleaned up prior to returni ng the site to its pre-event use.
Recovery
The primary recovery issue following the disposal of the debris from a catastrophic disaster will
be the restoration of staging areas and the cost recovery of the debris collection and disposal.
Section 4.0 of the Snohomish County Public Works Disaster Debris Management Plan lists
12
specific regulatory requirements that must be followed during the recovery phase of debris
management.The City of Marysville will adhere to these requirements.
ADMINISTRATION AND LOGISTICS
See the City of Marysville Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan for details.
TRAINING AND EXERCISES
This plan is considered a working document that will evolve in response to ever-changing
conditions.City of Marysville works closely with the Snohomish County Department of
Emergency Management to develop and complete a training schedule.
Training
Any training will be conducted in conjunction with the training plan outl ined by Snohomish
County Public Works Solid Waste Division.Training will be conducted on this plan consistent
with the Basic Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
Exercises
Any exercises will be conducted in conjunction with the exercise plan outlined by Snohomish
Courtty Public Works Solid Waste Division.Conducting regular exercises may help identify
areas of the Plan that require revision,enhancement,or additiOnal detail.Exercises can also help
identify additional training or equipment necessary to improve the capabilities of responding
personnel to implement debris management efforts.Exercises will be conducted on this Plan
consistent with the Basic Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan.
