Infield Maintenance Procedures Manual
Patching and Tamping
The areas that usually need to be patched and tamped are the batter's box, around the
bases, the pitcher's mound and behind home plate where the catcher plays:
Start with home plate and then the pitcher's mound. They need more time to dry
because of the amount of clay.
• Sweep out loose brick dust.
• Fill hole with water and let it soak into about half of the depth of the hole.
• Push loose brick dust back into the hole and mix it with water.
• Sometimes new clay needs to be brought in because there is not enough clay left
for adhesion.
• It is generally better to use mound mix in the areas of the pitcher's mound and
home plate for better adhesion and compaction.
• Let this set until firm but still damp, then tamp.
Dragging
Prior to dragging, hand -water the brick dust lightly to keep it from blowing.
• The base lines on turfed s, the pitcher's mound and all edges near turf shall be
prepared by hand with a rake or lute.
• The area shall be dragged using a tight loop, circular or crisscross pattern,
alternating the pattern daily.
Watering (Floating)
Weather conditions affect how much water is used. More water will be needed if it is
sunny or windy; if overcast, less; if raining, none.
• After dragging, set out sprinklers and water heavily.
• Do not over -water areas that have been patched.
• Apply a sufficient amount of water to ensure the brick dust compacts and
adheres together for good footing during play.

• Too much water can cause the field to become slippery and a hazard to play on.
• Hand -water problem areas, such as base paths, when needed.
• This shall be lightly watered again, just prior to a game, to keep down the brick
dust.
Removing Brick Dust from Turf
• Sweep with a broom, daily or as needed.
• Water blast with a high-pressure nozzle. Note: This can only be done if there is
sufficient time for drying.
Scarify and Level
• Water heavily prior to scarifying to keep down dust and to soften the brick dust.
• Scarify in a tight circular pattern going over the area several times to get the lines
down to a depth of one to two inches.
• The base lines on turf shall be prepared by hand with a rake.
• Never scarify a pitcher's mound.
• Do not snag a base stand with the lines
• Level with the flip side of the scarifier.
• Follow procedures for dragging and watering fields.
• Check for problems and hazards daily.
• Renovate yearly.
• Paint in foul lines to turf areas on Hausdorfer Field monthly.

Procedures to Correct Flooded Ballfields
Standing Water
• Drain off water.
• Fill low areas with dry brick dust.
• Push water into dry area with the back of the rake.
Field must be dry for a while before it can be walked on without slipping or
squishing.
Very Wet with No Standing Water
• Rake with a bow rake to a depth of/z inch in all muddy areas.
• Allow to air out for several hours while raking occasionally.
• Rake several more times to assist airing.
• Scarify entire field until there are no clods. It should be fluffy even though
moist.
• Alternate between wet and dry areas to help mix the soils and aid in
drying.
• The dry areas must be crumbled while scarifying in order for this to work.
• A straight edge drag -type planning device (the flip side of the scarifier),
shall be dragged as above until there is even texture and color.
• The field shall be dragged and leveled.
• Allow time after this for additional drying, 20 to 30 minutes on a warm day.
• Drag and prepare the field as usual.
Equipment
The contractor shall provide and have "on hand" at all times during the brick dust
maintenance operation the following equipment.

In a 5 -gallon bucket mix "mound mix' with water to desired consistency. Do not
use mix for this purpose.
Backfill "mound mix" material into hole(s).
Tamp the area firmly with steel tamp.
Note: The tamp will be most effective if you cover the bottom with plastic.
Tape the plastic to the tamp handle. The plastic keeps the clay
from sticking to the tamp's bottom.
After tamping and compacting the "mound mix " cover areas with brick dust.
Pitcher's Mound
Follow same procedure for repair of home plate/batter's box area except to not
cover with mix. Utilize dry "mound mix" for this purpose.
Rake all loose material from bottom to top and cover with "mound mix."
General Brick Dust Skinned Areas
After raking/shoveling loose material from high spots back into low spots/worn
areas on running paths, sliding zones and any other low spots/worn areas
appearing on the field, the contractor shall fill all remaining low spots with new
"Angel Mix" brick dust from stock and make level.
Lightly water entire before dragging.
Note: Watering shall penetrate brick dust to a minimum depth of 1/8 inch
deep min. This process is crucial to keeping brick dust in place and
not going airborne.
Drag utilizing small utility vehicle as specified with "grooming or finishing drag."
Circular or figure eight drag patterns shall be used (see details 1-A and 1-B).
Alternate drag patterns or reverse direction of drag patterns daily to avoid ruts
and high -low areas. Speed of drag procedure shall not exceed 7 m.p.h.
When dragging the skinned, the contractor shall stay away from all turf edges a
minimum of 18 inch. This will help in avoiding lips at brick dust/turf edges. This
18 -inch gap shall also apply to all backstops and chain link fence areas.
Contractor shall hand rake all base paths on combination turf/brick dust.
When the dragging process is complete, the contractor shall stop the drag in a
different location daily. This will stop the accumulation of brick dust in focused
areas. At this time roll -up the drag, place it on the vehicle and remove all debris

MODEL PROCEDURES:
1. Mowing, Trimming/Weeding, and Planting
Mowing, ✓ Whenever possible, use mechanical methods of vegetation removal rather
Trimming/Weeding than applying herbicides. Use hand weeding where practical.
✓ When conducting mechanical or manual weed control, avoid loosening the
soil, which could erode into streams or storm drains.
✓ Use coarse textured mulches or geotextiles to suppress weed growth and
reduce the use of herbicides.
✓ Do not blow or rake leaves, etc. into the street or place yard waste in gutters
or on dirt shoulders. Sweep up any leaves, litter or residue in gutters or on
street.
✓ Collect lawn and garden clippings, pruning waste, tree trimmings, and
weeds. Chip if necessary, and compost or dispose of at a landfill (see waste
management section of this procedure sheet).
✓ Place temporarily stockpiled material away from watercourses, and berm or
cover stockpiles to prevent material releases to storm drains.
Planting ✓ Where feasible, retain and/or plant selected native vegetation whose
features are determined to be beneficial. Native vegetation usually requires
less maintenance (e.g., irrigation, fertilizer) than planting ornamental
vegetation.
✓ When planting or replanting consider using low water use groundcovers.
2. Irrigation
0 0
✓ Utilize water delivery rates that do not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil.
✓ Use timers appropriately to prevent runoff and then only irrigate as much as
is needed.
✓ Inspect irrigation system periodically to ensure that the right amount of water
is being applied and that excessive runoff is not occurring. Minimize excess
watering, and repair leaks in the irrigation system as soon as they are
observed.
✓ Where practical, use automatic timers to minimize runoff.
✓ Use popup sprinkler heads in areas with a lot of activity or where there is a
chance the pipes may be broken. Consider the use of mechanisms that
reduce water flow to sprinkler heads if broken.
✓ If re-claimed water is used for irrigation, ensure that there is no runoff from
the landscaped area(s).
✓ If bailing of muddy water is required (e.g. when repairing a water line leak),
do not put it in the storm drain; pour over landscaped areas.
✓ The City uses an automatic irrigation system connected to a weather station
to control the irrigation system to all parks. This system controls the amount
of water used, shuts down during rain events, and identifies and shuts down
broken sprinkler heads, and provides a warning message for repair. This
system helps the City conserve water and reduces unnecessary runoff.
3. Fertilizer and Pesticide Management
Usage ✓ Utilize a comprehensive management system that incorporates integrated
pest management techniques.
✓ Follow all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use,
storage, and disposal of fertilizers and pesticides and training of applicators
and pest control advisors.
✓ Educate and train employees on use of pesticides and in pesticide
application techniques to prevent pollution.
✓ Pesticide application must be under the supervision of a California qualified
pesticide applicator.
✓ When applicable use the least toxic pesticides that will do the job. Avoid use
of copper -based pesticides if possible.
✓ Do not mix or prepare pesticides or fertilizers for application near storm
drains.
✓ Prepare the minimum amount of pesticide needed for the job and use the
lowest rate that will effectively control the pest.
✓ Employ techniques to minimize off -target application (e.g. spray drift) of
pesticides, including consideration of alternative application techniques.
✓ Calibrate fertilizer and pesticide application equipment to avoid excessive
application.
✓ The City has tested the soil at various locations, and has identified proper
fertilizer use. As necessary, the City will periodically test soils for
determining proper fertilizer use if the need is identified.
✓ Sweep pavement and sidewalk if fertilizer is spilled on these surfaces before
applying irrigation water.
✓ Inspect pesticide/fertilizer equipment and transportation vehicles daily.
✓ Refer to Appendix D for further guidance on Fertilizer and Pesticide
management
Scheduling ✓ Do not use pesticides if rain is expected within 24 hours.
✓ Apply pesticides only when wind speeds are low (less than 5 mph).
Disposal ✓ Purchase only the amount of pesticide that you can reasonably use in a
given time period (month or year depending on the product).
✓ Triple rinse containers, and use rinse water as product. Dispose of unused
pesticide as hazardous waste.
✓ Dispose of empty pesticide containers according to the instructions on the
container label.
4. Managing Landscape Waste
✓ Compost leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation or dispose of at a
permitted landfill. Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or
storm drainage systems.
Also see waste Handling ✓ Place temporarily stockpiled material away from watercourses and storm
and Disposal procedure drain inlets, and berm or cover stockpiles to prevent material releases to the
sheet storm drain system.
✓ Reduce the use of high nitrogen fertilizers that produce excess growth
requiring more frequent mowing or trimming.
✓ Inspect drainage facilities to detect illegal dumping of clippings/cuttings in or
near these facilities. Staff will spot check various problem locations during
the year to detect illegal dumping of clippings/cuttings in or near these
facilities. Materials found should be picked up and properly disposed of.
✓ Landscape wastes in and around storm drain inlets should be avoided by
either using bagging equipment or by manually picking up the material.
0
5. Erosion Control
LIMITATIONS:
0
✓ Maintain vegetative cover on medians and embankments to prevent soil
erosion. Apply mulch or leave clippings to serve as additional cover for soil
stabilization and to reduce the velocity of storm water runoff.
✓ Confine excavated materials to pervious surfaces away from storm drain
inlets, sidewalks, pavement, and ditches. Material must be covered if rain is
expected.
Alternative pest/weed controls may not be available, suitable, or effective in every case.

AGENDA REPORT D5
TO: Joe Tait, City Manager
FROM: Nasser Abbaszadeh, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of Agreement for Infield Maintenance (Professional Sports
Field Maintenance, Inc.)
RECOMMENDATION:
By motion,
1. Approve the Infield Maintenance Agreement with Professional Sports Field
Maintenance, Inc. (PSFM) for performance of Infield Maintenance Services for a
three-year period commencing July 1, 2010 and ending June 30, 2013 in the
amount of $144,420.00, and,
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
Summary and Recommendation:
Within the City, there are four separate athletic field locations with a total of nine
baseball/softball infields. The current infield maintenance service contract ends on June
30, 2010. Based on results of the Request for Proposal sent out in March 2010, staff is
recommending that City Council approve a Infield Maintenance Agreement with
Professional Sports Field Maintenance, Inc. in the amount of $144,420.00 for the three
year term ($48,140 per year) for infield maintenance services throughout the City and
authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. Selection of this contractor takes
into consideration proposed pricing, quality of work, company stability and reputation
with other municipalities.
Background:
The City maintains nine baseball/softball infields located at four separate athletic field
locations (Cook Park Cordova, Cook Park La Novia, Marco Forster Middle School, and
the Sports Park). The City's contractor conducts maintenance on the infields five times
per week during the baseball/softball season. In order to keep the infields in top
condition, the following functions are performed: Patching, tamping, dragging, floating,
weeding, removal of brick dust from turf, scrarifying and laser leveling of the infields and
correction of flooded infields.

March 31, 2010, the Public Works Department sent out requests for proposals to six (6)
infield maintenance companies. On April 15, 2010, the City received four qualified
proposals. One proposal (Elite Infields) was disqualified as it came in after the RFP

Recommendation Criteria

general landscape services) they are able to provide superior equipment and
knowledgeable/well trained staff to perform all required work. They do not use
subcontractors for any portion of the maintenance.
• PSFM. meets the requirements for E -Verification compliance, as required by the
Personal Services Agreement.
• Staff performed due diligence by contacting the cities of Dana Point and Laguna
Niguel to discuss the current work product, staffing, responsiveness to issues,
management approach, etc. Unannounced site visits were also made to allow
field staff to evaluate the quality and standard of work. Feedback received
confirmed PSFM runs an outstanding, professional operation; and they have
invested heavily in "state of the art" ballfield equipment. They adhere to weekly
maintenance schedules and pride themselves on their responsiveness to city
staff requests.
• PSFM is a licensed C-27 landscape contractor.
Staff recommends award of -the three-year City Infield Maintenance Services to
Professional Sports Field Maintenance, Inc. in the amount of $144,420.00 for the three
yearterm.

Infield Maintenance Procedures Manual
Patching and Tamping
The areas that usually need to be patched and tamped are the batter's box, around the
bases, the pitcher's mound and behind home plate where the catcher plays:
Start with home plate and then the pitcher's mound. They need more time to dry
because of the amount of clay.
• Sweep out loose brick dust.
• Fill hole with water and let it soak into about half of the depth of the hole.
• Push loose brick dust back into the hole and mix it with water.
• Sometimes new clay needs to be brought in because there is not enough clay left
for adhesion.
• It is generally better to use mound mix in the areas of the pitcher's mound and
home plate for better adhesion and compaction.
• Let this set until firm but still damp, then tamp.
Dragging
Prior to dragging, hand -water the brick dust lightly to keep it from blowing.
• The base lines on turfed s, the pitcher's mound and all edges near turf shall be
prepared by hand with a rake or lute.
• The area shall be dragged using a tight loop, circular or crisscross pattern,
alternating the pattern daily.
Watering (Floating)
Weather conditions affect how much water is used. More water will be needed if it is
sunny or windy; if overcast, less; if raining, none.
• After dragging, set out sprinklers and water heavily.
• Do not over -water areas that have been patched.
• Apply a sufficient amount of water to ensure the brick dust compacts and
adheres together for good footing during play.
1
• Too much water can cause the field to become slippery and a hazard to play on.
• Hand -water problem areas, such as base paths, when needed.
• This shall be lightly watered again, just prior to a game, to keep down the brick
dust.
Removing Brick Dust from Turf
• Sweep with a broom, daily or as needed.
• Water blast with a high-pressure nozzle. Note: This can only be done if there is
sufficient time for drying.
Scarify and Level
• Water heavily prior to scarifying to keep down dust and to soften the brick dust.
• Scarify in a tight circular pattern going over the area several times to get the lines
down to a depth of one to two inches.
• The base lines on turf shall be prepared by hand with a rake.
• Never scarify a pitcher's mound.
• Do not snag a base stand with the lines
• Level with the flip side of the scarifier.
• Follow procedures for dragging and watering fields.
• Check for problems and hazards daily.
• Renovate yearly.
• Paint in foul lines to turf areas on Hausdorfer Field monthly.
FA
Procedures to Correct Flooded Ballfields
Standing Water
• Drain off water.
• Fill low areas with dry brick dust.
• Push water into dry area with the back of the rake.
Field must be dry for a while before it can be walked on without slipping or
squishing.
Very Wet with No Standing Water
• Rake with a bow rake to a depth of/z inch in all muddy areas.
• Allow to air out for several hours while raking occasionally.
• Rake several more times to assist airing.
• Scarify entire field until there are no clods. It should be fluffy even though
moist.
• Alternate between wet and dry areas to help mix the soils and aid in
drying.
o The dry areas must be crumbled while scarifying in order for this to work.
• A straight edge drag -type planning device (the flip side of the scarifier),
shall be dragged as above until there is even texture and color.
• The Feld shall be dragged and leveled.
• Allow time after this for additional drying, 20 to 30 minutes on a warm day.
• Drag and prepare the field as usual.

•
MODEL PROCEDURES:
1. Mowing, Trimming/Weeding, and Planting
Mowing, ✓ Whenever possible, use mechanical methods of vegetation removal rather
Trimming1weeding than applying herbicides. Use hand weeding where practical.
✓ When conducting mechanical or manual weed control, avoid loosening the
soil, which could erode into streams or storm drains.
✓ Use coarse textured mulches or geotextiles to suppress weed growth and
reduce the use of herbicides.
✓ Do not blow or rake leaves, etc. into the street or place yard waste in gutters
or on dirt shoulders. Sweep up any leaves, litter or residue in gutters or on
street.
✓ Collect lawn and garden clippings, pruning waste, tree trimmings, and
weeds. Chip if necessary, and compost or dispose of at a landfill (see waste
management section of this procedure sheet).
✓ Place temporarily stockpiled material away from watercourses, and berm or
cover stockpiles to prevent material releases to storm drains.
Planting ✓ Where feasible, retain and/or plant selected native vegetation whose
features are determined to be beneficial. Native vegetation usually requires
less maintenance (e.g., irrigation, fertilizer) than planting ornamental
vegetation.
✓ When planting or replanting consider using low water use groundcovers.
2. Irrigation
✓ Utilize water delivery rates that do not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil.
✓ Use timers appropriately to prevent runoff and then only irrigate as much as
is needed.
✓ Inspect irrigation system periodically to ensure that the right amount of water
is being applied and that excessive runoff is not occurring. Minimize excess
watering, and repair leaks in the irrigation system as soon as they are
observed.
✓ Where practical, use automatic timers to minimize runoff.
✓ Use popup sprinkler heads in areas with a lot of activity or where there is a
chance the pipes may be broken. Consider the use of mechanisms that
reduce water flow to sprinkler heads if broken.
✓ If re-claimed water is used for irrigation, ensure that there is no runoff from
the landscaped area(s).
✓ If bailing of muddy water is required (e.g. when repairing a water line leak),
do not put it in the storm drain; pour over landscaped areas.
✓ The City uses an automatic irrigation system connected to a weather station
to control the irrigation system to all parks. This system controls the amount
of water used, shuts down during rain events, and identifies and shuts down
broken sprinkler heads, and provides a warning message for repair. This
system helps the City conserve water and reduces unnecessary runoff.
3. Fertilizer and Pesticide Management
Usage ✓ Utilize a comprehensive management system that incorporates integrated
pest management techniques.
✓ Follow all federal, state, and local laws and regulations governing the use,
storage, and disposal of fertilizers and pesticides and training of applicators
and pest control advisors.
✓ Educate and train employees on use of pesticides and in pesticide
application techniques to prevent pollution.
✓ Pesticide application must be under the supervision of a California qualified
pesticide applicator.
✓ When applicable use the least toxic pesticides that will do the job. Avoid use
of copper -based pesticides if possible.
✓ Do not mix or prepare pesticides or fertilizers for application near storm
drains.
✓ Prepare the minimum amount of pesticide needed for the job and use the
lowest rate that will effectively control the pest.
✓ Employ techniques to minimize off -target application (e.g. spray drift) of
pesticides, including consideration of alternative application techniques.
✓ Calibrate fertilizer and pesticide application equipment to avoid excessive
application.
0 0
✓ The City has tested the soil at various locations, and has identified proper
fertilizer use. As necessary, the City will periodically test soils for
determining proper fertilizer use if the need is identified.
✓ Sweep pavement and sidewalk if fertilizer is spilled on these surfaces before
applying irrigation water.
✓ Inspect pesticide/fertilizer equipment and transportation vehicles daily.
✓ Refer to Appendix D for further guidance on Fertilizer and Pesticide
management
Scheduling ✓ Do not use pesticides if rain is expected within 24 hours.
✓ Apply pesticides only when wind speeds are low (less than 5 mph).
Disposal ✓ Purchase only the amount of pesticide that you can reasonably use in a
given time period (month or year depending on the product).
✓ Triple rinse containers, and use rinse water as product. Dispose of unused
pesticide as hazardous waste.
✓ Dispose of empty pesticide containers according to the instructions on the
container label.
4. Managing Landscape Waste
✓ Compost leaves, sticks, or other collected vegetation or dispose of at a
permitted landfill. Do not dispose of collected vegetation into waterways or
storm drainage systems.
Also see Waste Handling ✓ Place temporarily stockpiled material away from watercourses and storm
and Disposal procedure drain inlets, and berm or cover stockpiles to prevent material releases to the
sheet storm drain system.
Reduce the use of high nitrogen fertilizers that produce excess growth
requiring more frequent mowing or trimming.
✓ Inspect drainage facilities to detect illegal dumping of clippings/cuttings in or
near these facilities. Staff will spot check various problem locations during
the year to detect illegal dumping of clippings/cuttings in or near these
facilities. Materials found should be picked up and properly disposed of.
✓ Landscape wastes in and around storm drain inlets should be avoided by
either using bagging equipment or by manually picking up the material.
5. Erosion Control
✓ Maintain vegetative cover on medians and embankments to prevent soil
erosion. Apply mulch or leave clippings to serve as additional cover for soil
stabilization and to reduce the velocity of storm water runoff.
✓ Confine excavated materials to pervious surfaces away from storm drain
inlets, sidewalks, pavement, and ditches. Material must be covered if rain is
expected.
LIMITATIONS:
Alternative pest/weed controls may not be available, suitable, or effective in every case.

Statement oFExnerience
After more than 10 years of personal experience in maintaining softball
fields for various City leagues and girls fastpitch travel teams, Professional
Sports Field Maintenance, Inc. (PSFM), was created in 2001. 1 saw a need
to provide superior quality and reliable services that a vast majority of Cities
in Orange County and others lacked.
Although we are a licensed C-27 landscape contractor, we do not provide
neral landscape services. Our sole focus is baseball and softball fields.
)ur equipment is "state of the art" ballfield equipment. We don't use golf
carts or small utility vehicles to groom the playing surface. Our trailers are
fully equipped at all times to insure we have the correct tools to handle any
situation that we might encounter. Our Laser Leveling system is designed
for infields, providing a smooth playing surface with proper drainage.
Virtually every aspect of installation, repair and replacement that can be
required on a ballfield we have completed. Over the past nine years we have
built new fields, removed existing material and installed new infield mix,
repaired turf edges, installed infield watering systems along with replacing
base anchors, pitcher plates, home plates and of course provided routine
field grooming and turf mowing. We do not use subcontractors for our
services whether it is rebuilding mounds or laser grading, unlike our
competitors.
Our staff is our most valuable asset. They are trained constantly and attend
various education seminars to stay alert to new products, equipment and
methods.

Procedure
➢ Upon arrival, all litter, broken glass and hazardous debris from the infield and dugout areas shall
be placed in the appropriate containers.
➢ Dugouts shall be hosed and/or swept.
➢ All weeds in the brickdust area will be removed and/or sprayed with agreed upon weed control
formula.
➢ All bases will be removed before beginning any work on the infield. Base post anchors will be
scraped and/or wire brushed to help facilitate base removal and installation when necessary.
Loose material will be raked and/or shoveled from high spots back into low spots or worn areas on
base running paths, sliding zones, and any other low spots or worn areas appearing on the infield
prior to any watering or dragging.
➢ Special attention will be paid to home plate and batters box areas. All loose material is removed
and the area is wet slightly. After scarifying the area with a shovel the area will be back filled
with "Hilltopper "or other approved material and tamped firmly with steel tamp. After tamping
and compacting, the area will be covered with infield brickdust.
➢ Pitcher's mound also receives the same attention as home plate and batters box area.
➢ Lightly water the entire infield area to a minimum depth of 1/8 -inch to keep brickdust in place and
minimize airborne dust.
➢ Utilizing the John Deere 1200 A and a grooming or finishing drag, begin dragging the infield with
circular or figure eight drag patterns. Alternate drag patterns or reverse direction of drag patterns
are utilized to avoid ruts and high and low areas.
➢ While dragging the skinned infield, a minimum of an 18 -inch gap shall be maintained between the
drag and all turf edges, backstops, and chain link fence areas. This gap will help in avoiding lips
at brickdust/turf edges.
➢ At the completion of the dragging process, the drag will be stopped in different locations to avoid
accumulation of brickdust in one area. The drag will be picked up and all debris accumulated in
the drag will be removed. The pick up area will then be hand raked.
➢ Hand rake all areas where 18 -inch gap was created with careful attention placed on turf edges so
as not to push brickdust onto turf areas.
➢ Hand rake all base paths on combination turf/brickdust infields again with careful attention not to
push brickdust onto turf.
➢ Inspect and remove any excess brickdust on all turf edges utilizing Power broom or high pressure
nozzle.
➢ Replace all bases; making sure base sits level and flush against the surface on all sides.
➢ Using high-pressure water nozzle and hose, water entire brickdust area to a minimum depth of '/4 -
inch.
➢ Notify your staff immediately upon detection of any potential hazardous conditions.
