TACTIC R-1A Use of Snow Blower to Remove Lightly Misted Snow (Page 1 of 2)Use of Snow Blower to Remove Lightly Misted Snow (Page 2 of 2) TACTIC R-1ANOTE: “Base Location” is storage location (may change seasonally); “Mobe Time” is time to get it out of storage, prepare it foroperation, and make it ready to travel (concurrent for all equipment); “Deploy Time” is time to make it operational for its intended useat the spill site. These times do not include travel time from base to spill site, which may have multiple components (see Tactic L-3).SUPPORTEQUIPMENTBASELOCATION FUNCTION PIECES # STAFFPER SHIFTLight Plant All Illumination >1 2 for initial setup, and 1 to check and fuel occasionallyHeater All Heat 1 1 for initial setup 1 hrMOBETIMEFuel Trailer All Fuel 1 1 for initial setup 1 hr1 hrDEPLOYTIME0.5 hr• Snow machine trailers have a 1/2 cubic yd capacity.CAPACITIES FOR PLANNING• Snowmelters typically handle 30 cubic yd of lightly oiled now per hour, providing 30 bbl/hr of water, plus the oil.DEPLOYMENT CONSIDERATIONS AND LIMITATIONS• This tactic is limited to oiled snow with no free liquids.Lightly misted snow can be cleaned up using a snow blower and snow machine with trailer. The snow can be cleanedup either directly off of the ground or by using brooms to sweep oiled snow into windrows for more effective recovery.Once the trailer is full, it is transferred by snow machine to a front-end loader on the gravel pad or road. The loaderthen transfers the snow into dump trucks on the pad or road.• The number of crews on the spill depends on the size of the spill.• Lightly oiled snow may be blended with heavily oiled snow in the area to enhance recovery.• Warm-up areas are needed for responders.EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL• Crew size consists of two sweepers, a snow blower operator, and a snow machine operator. The number of crewswill not exceed the number of snow blowers available.EQUIPMENTBASELOCATIONFUNCTIONPIECES# STAFFPER SHIFTTOTAL STAFF >7MOBETIMEShovel and Broom All Recovery Variable — 0.5 hrSnow Machine withTrailerSnow BlowerFront-End Loader(8-cubic-yd)Dump TruckAll Transfer 3 3 1 hr<strong>ACS</strong>, Badami, Northstar,AlpineRecovery 1 1 1 hrAll Transfer 1 1 1 hrGPB, KRU, CH2M Hill,Peak, AIC, AlpineTransfer >2 >2 1 hrDEPLOYTIME0.5 hrNOTE: “Base Location” is storage location (may change seasonally); “Mobe Time” is time to get it out of storage, prepare it foroperation, and make it ready to travel (concurrent for all equipment); “Deploy Time” is time to make it operational for its intended useat the spill site.
