4. Emergency Debris Monitoring  Vendor provided monitoring services for debris removal and disposal activities at each site.  Vendor provides document management during and after the disaster.  Data management includes ticket tracking and scanning all truck tickets, and compiling information by county and route for FEMA submission.

5. Debris Management Sites/Storm Debris Removal  Debris sites were a combination of State owned property and private property.  Private property required leases which became a problem with restoration on agricultural land  All necessary permits were obtained from KY Div of Water and Div of Waste management and Div of Air Quality

6.  Debris removal contracts were bid by Cubic Yard, which proved problematic  Vegetative Debris was burned at some sites  KYTC worked with our Forestry officials to ensure the debris piles were not too large and to insure controlled burn.  Ash disposal required a permit to incorporate the ash back into the soil properly. Debris Removal/disposal

7. Debris Reduction/disposal  In sensitive areas, debris was reduced by mulching, chipping, grinding or recycling.  Contractor was required to get approval for disposal sites from Div of waste management and KYTC

8. Lessons learned from Ice Storm  State agency should set up the debris and monitoring sites on state property as much as possible.  Have a Debris monitoring/data management contract in place prior to an event.  Start keeping documentation on day 1. Scan documents each day. Do not get behind on tracking.  When contracting for Debris removal require a 100% performance bond from the contractors.
