Case Study: State of Hawaii , Maui Wildfires Services: Debris Management and Monitoring, Debris Operational Data and Documentation Oversight

In August 2023, high winds and dry weather sparked wildfires in Lāhainā, Upper Kula, Pūlehu/Kihei and Ka’anapali on the island of Maui. The largest devastation took place in Lāhainā Town

where more than 2000 structures were destroyed. Seven days later, Tidal Basin had a team of debris management and monitoring experts onsite providing Category A guidance to the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HIEMA). Our debris management team was demobilized three weeks after the fire to allow time for search and rescue (SAR) operations, U.S. EPA environmental assessments and hazard elimination, and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) planning. When debris removal in Lāhainā Town commenced in January 2024, we provided oversight of debris operational data/ documentation to minimize overspending by USACE contractors, protect the State and Maui County’s environmental and cultural interests, and ensure operations were managed with local interests in mind.

Case Study: City of Wharton, TX, Hurricane Beryl Services: Debris Monitoring and Management

Upon notification, the Tidal Basin team was on site in less than 24 hours and operational in 72 hours. On behalf of the City, we documented the removal of more than 40,000 cubic yards of debris, along with several hundred hazardous limbs

and a multitude of tress. Our team of professional project managers and debris subject matter experts directly coordinated with City officials and multiple contractors to synergize accurate and effective Debris Management Site operations. City of Wharton officials briefed surrounding municipalities on our operations and recommended our process and team for future operations to ensure FEMA reimbursement guidelines are achieved.

Case Study: Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative, Hurricane Idalia Services: Debris Monitoring and Management

After Hurricane Idalia made landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida in August 2023, Tidal Basin engaged with Suwannee Valley Electric Cooperative (SVEC), which provides electricity

and broadband services to four counties consisting of nearly 30,000 members and maintains more than 4,100 miles of electric distribution lines. We provided guidance on FEMA’s Public Assistance program, including monitoring and managing Category A debris removal. Over the course of three months, Tidal Basin employed and mobilized more than 250 monitors and managers, oversaw SVEC’s debris removal contractor who mobilized more than 200 pieces of hazardous debris removal and earth moving equipment, and documented the removal of more than 700,000 cubic yards of disaster-generated debris along SVEC’s service lines and eligible rights-of-way.
