GUAM, USA — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has a debris removal mission assignment from FEMA on the island of Guam to remove Typhoon Mawar storm-related debris. The goal of the combined federal response is to help Guam and its citizens get back to pre-disaster conditions.
The first temporary debris management site on the island was cleared July 22 in Humatak after USACE Debris Team Mission Manager Todd Turner, Debris Subject Matter Expert Eric Haliburton, and the contractor, PFM, and the applicant went to the site and verified that hauling operations were complete.
“We’re going to turn the site back over to the applicant,” said Haliburton. “The applicant is the party that has the legal responsibility for the piece of property in question. In this instance that will end up being the Johnny Aguonquinata the Mayor of Humatak.”
Once removal of right-of-way debris in residential areas is complete in the village, a USACE Debris Team member, the contractor, and Aguonquinata will ride through the village and survey that all eligible debris has been removed and do the same sign off process.
The temporary debris management sites were set up across the island for residents, the Department of Public Works, and in some cases the National Guard, who helped with Guam debris removal, to drop off vegetative material.
“So, the contractor, PFM, will visit all of the temporary debris management sites on the south end of the island and remove all vegetative material and transport it to the collection site in Tiyan where it will be ground up,” said Haliburton.
The temporary debris management sites on the north end of the island are being cleared by the other USACE-managed contractor, EEC through the same process.
