When

The Winter Storm Hazardous Vegetation Cleanup Project deployed funding to ensure that 100 miles of County Roads were cleaned up. Funds were provided through direct support to help highly impacted communities remove hazards from private roadways, and opportunities to dispose of green waste were available.   

The objectives were to ensure that County and privately maintained roads were cleared of hazardous fuels generated through the 2023 Winter Storm and to provide opportunities to residents to dispose of green waste removed from lands under their stewardship.

Where

Cleanup from the winter storms took place along the most impacted areas. See the green roadways on the map below for greater detail.
