LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Property owners who need to clean up structures burned in the Rocky and Jerusalem Fires have until this Friday, Oct. 30, to file a right of entry permit or a private cleanup application.

The deadline was set by Lake County Environmental Health, CalRecycle and the California Office of Emergency Services.

It is based on the need for property owners to abate debris remaining from structures and related items destroyed by the fires in a timely manner.

Many property owners in the two fire areas have already submitted right of entry permits that will allow the CalRecycle/OES teams to remove the debris from their properties.

Some property owners have chosen to submit private cleanup applications to clean the properties themselves or have a licensed contractor clean the property. 

Property owners who fail to submit an right of entry or a private cleanup application by Friday, Oct. 30, will be referred to the Lake County Planning and Community Development Department for future action.

This deadline applies to the Rocky and Jerusalem Fires only.
