Erosion Control - Notice to Residents:
CONCERNED ABOUT EROSION CONTROL AFTER THE FIRES?
NOTICE TO RESIDENTS AFFECTED BY THE FIRE
(As of Friday, November 9, 2007)
There are a number of homeowners in our community, expressing concern regarding erosion control as a result of the recent fires. If you are in an area affected by the fire, by now, you should have received a report (POST BURN MUDFLOW PROTECTIVE ADVICE ASSESSMENT from the County of Los Angeles), that was delivered to your home, regarding steps to take, post fire. Please be aware that we will be providing you with updates as they are made.
Some properties that have suffered vegetation loss may be vulnerable to mudflow during heavy rains.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department in conjunction with Los Angeles County Public Works Department and the City of Santa Clarita have assessed the damage and are in the process of developing mitigation for erosion control.
If your plan calls for sand bags, you may pick up the bags free of charge at the fire stations listed below. The maximum number of sand bags allowed is twenty-five (25) per resident unless otherwise required in your mudflow assessment plan. The fire stations will not have sand available however, Curtis Sand and Gravel is offering free sand at their facility: 14320 Soledad Canyon Road, 251-2100.
