there, equipment and trucks will travel on the service roads to project areas.
1.2 Contractor will clear all debris vegetation designated within the polygon area on Laguna
Cartagena NWR (approximately 22 acres).
1.3 All mechanically removed vegetation needs to be cut between 3-5 feet in length to maximize
load space in the truck. If trituration of vegetative material will be done, the contractor will
use their own equipment and the material needs to be removed from the site and disposed off
the refuge boundaries.

Task 2: Removal of piles of vegetation debris resulting from Hurricane Fiona.

2.1 Removal of approximately 6 piles of vegetation debris consisting of fallen trees and
branches. (200 cubic yards)
2.2 Contractor will be using their own equipment.
2.3 Contractor is responsible to transport the removed material to an adequate disposal area off
refuge boundaries. Contractor will be responsible of costs for the disposal of vegetative material
outside of refuge boundaries.
2.4 All debris vegetation needs to be cut between 3.5 feet in length to maximize load space on
truck.

Note:

If trituration is permitted, no additional pollution abatement measures are needed to control


particulate matters generated from the grinding process. The particle size generated from this
operation is big enough that it settles down near the processing grinder equipment. No fugitive
dust will be generated from this operation.
