Maximizing Recovery and Beneficial Use of Disaster Debris - Workshop in conjunction with WASTECON 2008

Complimentary Workshop Registrations Available for
Florida Public/Government Officials!

On Monday October 20th, Kessler Consulting Inc. (KCI) will present an in-depth workshop on maximizing recovery and beneficial use of disaster debris. Sponsored by Sumter County with a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the workshop will be held in conjunction with SWANA’s upcoming WASTECON Conference (Tampa Bay Convention Center, Monday, October 21 -23, 2008).

This four hour workshop will go well-beyond traditional disaster debris management training courses and focus squarely on implementing tactical plans that maximize recovery and beneficial use of disaster debris. Through a series of intensive case studies and interactive discussions, the workshop will feature the following best practices:
• Pre-planning steps to identify and secure end-markets for vegetative and other storm debris and create processing systems to meet the material quality specifications of those markets;

• Key elements in debris management contracts that require contractors to maximize diversion and beneficial use of vegetative storm debris;

• Public outreach strategies to ensure residents and businesses adhere to storm preparedness guidelines and follow curbside debris set-out procedures that maximize material quality and minimize contamination.
