Spring cleanup and the damaging March storms may present challenges for managing municipal vegetative waste. NJDEP advises vegetative debris can be stored at temporary debris management areas, or TDMAs.
Spring cleanup and the damaging March storms may present challenges for managing municipal vegetative waste. DEP advises vegetative debris can be stored at temporary debris management areas, or TDMAs. They can be used for winter storms and/or tropical storm/hurricane events. Information and applications on DEP approval for a TDMA can be found here: TDMAs (http://www.nj.gov/dep/dshw/debris/tdmaforminstruct.html). In addition, NJDEP provides a toolkit about overall debris planning and management. The toolkits includes further TDMA explanation: http://www.state.nj.us/dep/dshw/toolkit.pdf...
