The Army Corps oversees debris operations at Fresh Kills Park in Staten Island, N.Y., where debris removed from private and public property is temporarily stored before being hauled to long-term storage sites. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provided debris removal assistance after Hurricane Sandy as part of a FEMA mission assignment.
Debris is collected and then loaded onto trucks at Jacob Riis Park in Far Rockaway in Queens, N.Y. for shipping to landfills. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provided debris removal assistance after Hurricane Sandy as part of a FEMA mission assignment.
The Army Corp stages and prepares generators in central New Jersey for deployment in their Emergency Temporary Power mission. USACE aggressively helped to bring temporary emergency power to critical facilities in New York and New Jersey, and provided emergency power with more than 335 generators following Hurricane Sandy
Service members, supporting the Army Corps FEMA mission to allow access to flooded homes in Breezy Point, NY, pumped an average of 750,000 to 1 million gallons of water a day in the week following Hurricane Sandy. The team, under the direction of the U.S. Army's 19th Engineer Battalion, consisted of more than 600 service members from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. It worked in coordination with the local emergency responders and officials to allow access and speed recovery efforts in New York.
Some of an approximate total of 57 million gallons of water is pumped out of the Battery Park Underpass just days after Sandy hit as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' unwatering mission. The Battery Park Underpass is the roadway underneath Battery Park that connects West Street to FDR Drive.
"She was wandering around mounds of debris along the waterfront at Breezy Point, New York, and the shock on her face was pretty powerful for me," said Jim Balocki, chief, Interagency and International Services, Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Kathleen represents many of Sandy's victims and Balocki many of the hundreds of Army Corps personnel who deployed from around the nation to the New York-New Jersey metro area to take part in recovery missions assigned by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The Army Corps has teamed with federal, state, city and regional agencies to unwater flooded areas, provide temporary power, remove debris and just as important provide an ear, a hand or a hug. Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic hurricane on record, causing severe damage across 24 states, hitting New York and New Jersey especially hard.
The super storm's 95 mile-per-hour winds and record breaking storm surge flooded streets, subways and vehicular tunnels with salt water wreaking havoc on communities throughout the region, especially those in coastal areas creating major debris issues and knocking out power to millions of residents. The Army Corps plays a major role in disaster response with more than 40 specially trained response teams capable of providing a wide variety of public works and engineering related support.
The team immediately had pumps of various types and sizes sent to points around the transit system and began pumping. The task force provided technical assistance and unwatering for the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel (est. 86 million gallons), World Trade Center / PATH Train (est. 20 million gallons), South Ferry Subway Station (est. 20 million gallons), 14th Street Tunnel-Canarsie (est. 3.5 million gallons), the Battery Park Exchange (est. 57 million gallons), the Montague Street Tunnel (est. 60 million gallons), the Amtrak Substation Kearny (est. 40 million gallons), and the Passaic Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant (est. 200 million gallons). The Corps also provided technical assistance for other similar infrastructure unwatering efforts throughout the region.
In other locations in the metro area, another unwatering team led by the U.S. Army's 19th Engineer Battalion, based out of Fort Knox, Ky., worked with members of the Army's 86th Engineer Dive Detachment, the Army's 76th Engineer Company, the Marine's 8th Engineer Support Battalion and others to remove trash and debris, conduct engineering and structural assessments on piers and public property, and pump out large municipal buildings such as public housing complexes operated by the Housing Authority of New York and waste water treatment plants.
The Corps also played a vital role in providing temporary emergency power to critical public facilities including water and wastewater treatment plants, hospitals, nursing homes, public housing developments, fire stations and police stations. The temporary emergency power allowed these sites some level of operability while the commercial grid was restored by local power authorities.
"Two ladies from the development were there watching us do our work and I explained everything we were doing so they would understand the situation," said Balocki. "Although they were not pleased with having to wait for electricity, they were grateful to have the Army corps there and that we took the time to explain things to them. They gave me a hug."
Although USACE did not receive a direct federal assistance assignment for debris removal in New Jersey, the Corps did receive an $800,000 technical assistance mission to provide guidance and best management practices to New Jersey to ensure state landfills were not over-burdened. The team initially provided assistance for eight New Jersey countiesand will continue to provide support and coordination as the debris removal mission moves into waterway debris removal property debris removal.
More than 15,000 trees were downed in the NYC metro area during the storm. The trees and broken limbs, currently estimated at 100,000 cubic yards, are being collected at Floyd Bennett Field. The City anticipates an additional 100,000 cubic yards to be collected as clean-up continues. In partnership with NYC, the Corps will convert tree debris into reusable materials, including biofuel, mulch and landfill cover.
The Corps also assisted FEMA in providing commodities during its response mission in the form of bottled water, which began the first week of November and ended by Thanksgiving. During the three week time period, the Corps delivered 8.9 million liters of water, or enough water for 2.5 million people, to FEMA's Incident Support Bases along the east coast for staging. FEMA then worked with the states, including West Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, to set up points of distribution and determine the amount of truckloads necessary.
This interagency teamwork is continuing as there is still work to be done. Although the unwatering mission is complete, pump teams have redeployed back to their home stations, and temporary emergency power generators are being unplugged, the debris removal mission will continue into 2013.
People working for Trading Standards services are employees of your local authority (council) and are authorised to carry out their functions to enforce Trading Standards laws. Job titles and qualifications vary between different local authorities and between different functions, but for the purposes of this guide they are referred to as Trading Standards officers, or TSOs.
Trading Standards services visit business premises for a number of reasons, but the underlying purpose of a visit is generally to check and ensure that the business is complying with the law, as well as to address or investigate any non-compliance. Trading Standards services follow an intelligence-led approach, where the decisions about enforcement activities are informed by the analysis of information from many sources, including complaints and a business's previous history. Trading Standards officers can also carry out inspections of premises on a routine basis - for example, in accordance with an annual programme of inspections.
In most cases, TSOs have powers under Schedule 5 to the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Depending on the legislation they are enforcing, they may have additional powers or powers that are slightly different. A TSO's main powers include the power to enter premises, powers of inspection and powers to secure or seize material that might be required in evidence:
Genuine TSOs will always carry photographic identification, which will usually show their name, department and the local authority they work for. If you have any doubts, call your local authority right away.
In most cases, businesses are keen to comply with the law and to avoid the risks and expenses of formal enforcement action. Many breaches of Trading Standards law are resolved through advice and agreed remedial actions by the business (which might include changing products, systems, labelling or advertising and/or arranging redress for customers who have been affected by a breach).
