Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On October 13, 2017, the local health officer issued a declaration of local health emergency due to the hazardous debris generated by the Redwood Complex Fire. On October 17, 2017, the Board ratified the declaration. On October 31, 2017, and November 14, 2017, the Board reaffirmed the existence of the local health emergency.
Summary of Request:
On October 9, 2017, the Redwood Complex Fire started and resulted in significant structural damage of several portions of the County. On October 13, 2017, the local health officer declared a local health emergency under Health and Safety Code Section 101080 due to hazardous materials contained in the debris from structures destroyed by the fire. The Board of Supervisors ratified the declaration on October 13, 2017. On October 31, 2017, and November 14, 2017, the Board reaffirmed the existence of the local health emergency.
As of 11/14/2017, the preliminary hazardous waste sweeps have been completed for 273 of 337 properties. 272 properties have arranged for cleanup through the public Consolidated Debris Removal Program, and debris has been removed from 7 parcels, which are still awaiting final soil testing results.
It is requested that the Board find that the local health emergency continues to exist, and therefore reaffirms the proclamation of local health emergency.
