County sets end of June as deadline for completion of non-FEMA debris removal
Los Angeles County has given property owners until Monday, June 30, to have their burned properties cleared if they opted out of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers debris removal program or did not opt in.
As of this week, the Army Corps reported that more than 90% of the properties on its workload have had debris removal completed. Those on this list had to have opted in to the program or been given a special inclusion.
Those who opted out or did not respond either way had until June 1 to obtain a debris removal permit and hire a licensed contractor and must have the work completed by June 30.
“I don’t want to have there be like maybe a house on a street that hasn’t cleaned up their debris when everyone else has and they’re beginning to rebuild,” Supervisor Kathryn Barger said.
If clean up is not done by the deadline, the property may be declared a public nuisance, according to the county.
“The County may take steps to remove fire ash and debris from the property; the cost of this debris removal will be charged to the property owner,” a county release read. “If not paid, the cost may be recovered through a lien on the property.”
For more information visit the county’s website or call the debris removal hotline at 888-479-7328.
