California Department of Resources Recycling & Recovery

Case Study California’s Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery | CalRecycle

Challenge

Emphasizing our ability to perform at the onset of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Tidal Basin maintained an aggressive approach for compliance despite constantly changing CDC and WHO guidance. We successfully completed the project with no significant disruption to field activities.

Due to the arduous terrain and water crossings that make up parts of the landscape within the Inland Branch, we uitlized helicopter access in some areas for hazardous tree identification and removal. This required extensive coordination for development of a helicopter safety plan, hazardous tree removal process, and an intense employee training course for the removal of more than 3,000 trees from such areas.

Solution

Tidal Basin complied with CalOSHA and OSHA requirements to successfully perform monitoring and oversight services connected to the removal of hazardous trees, including the supervision of arborists and the provision of crew leaders trained to identify eligible trees for removal under the program’s

requirements and specifications. Our management and oversight included the monitoring and recording of all data associated to the identification, site assessment, removal, and disposal of all eligible debris and hazardous trees by Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN).

Resillience Delivered

Tidal Basin successfully provided professional structural debris and public right-of-way hazard tree removal assessment. We supplied tracking, management, and financial support to five California counties. In addition to our team’s work, we liaised with the following tribes on the Inland Branch 2020 Wildfires team: • Cloverdale Rancheria of Pomo Indians • Kashia Band of Pomo Indians of the Stewarts Point Rancheria • Middletown Rancheria of Pomo Indians • Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria • Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation
