Army Corps of Engineers Beginning Residential Debris Removal
This week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in coordination with the State of California and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, will begin Phase 2 debris removal for private residential properties in the Eaton and Palisades wildfire impact zones. The start of Phase 2 debris removal to private homes marks a major milestone in the wildfire recovery process [ [link removed] ] for residents impacted by the wildfires.
The LA County Department of Public Works has been working with wildfire survivors to collect Rights of Entry, establish safe debris haul routes, and coordinate the responsible transport and disposal of fire ash and other fire-related debris. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s removal of household hazardous materials has paved the way for Phase 2 debris removal.
