In 1970, following Hurricane Camille, the company performed its first emergency debris removal and clean-up project in Corpus Christi, Texas and added a disaster response division to the company's services. Since that time, D & J Enterprises, Inc. (herein after referred to as D & J) has become a major contractor in the field of debris management as an adjunct to its construction division. In debris management contracts alone, the company has performed 200 separate disaster response contracts (62 of which were for the USACE) totaling over $400,000,000, at times employing more than 300 employees, 100 subcontractors and over 600 trucks. The thirty years of experience in this field have enabled the company to not only develop trained employees with an understanding of the expectations and skills necessary to respond quickly and efficiently, but also to develop a network of reliable relationships with experienced subcontractors and suppliers throughout the Southwestern, Southeastern and Atlantic Coastal United States.

The more than 62 USACE disaster related projects we have performed have provided us with an in-depth knowledge of the policies and procedures necessary for successful project performance. The company's officers and employees have gained immeasurable experience in a variety of recovery clean-up projects resulting from hurricanes, tornados, floods, ice storms, snow storms and earthquakes. Since the formation of the company's disaster division, D & J has managed and completed disaster-related projects which include bunching, pushing and clearing rights of ways, vegetative debris removal from rights-of-way, construction & demolition debris removal from rights-of-way, managed and operated temporary debris storage and reductions sites (TDSRS), performed sorting, screening, separation and recycling of debris, grinding vegetative debris to reusable mulch, incinerate debris by both open burn and air curtain incineration, loading, hauling and final disposal to Class I landfills of sorted debris, loading and hauling of snow and ice, loading and hauling of sludge and mud, site restoration and re-vegetation, sand screening and beach restoration, building demolition, site preparation for temporary housing, stream clearing and cleaning, earthen dam repair, flood clean up and roofing repairs, to name a few, all completed successfully and on time . During this same time period, the company's civil construction division continued to grow and prosper and enjoys a reputation as one of the top civil contractors in East Central Alabama.

D & J's long history and experience in the disaster field has enabled the company to form an organization that has been capable of successfully managing as many as 15 contracts totaling more than $200,000,000 simultaneously as efficiently as performing a single contract-which would require less organizational and resource skills. Our ability to provide successful and efficient management and administration for multiple tasks demonstrates the value of our years of experience and our trained personnel's understanding of the tasks.
