Anyone who may still be considering working around the Consolidated Debris Removal Program from CalRecycle—by calling for work to be halted before foundations are razed—is being cautioned that asking for debris removal to stop prior to the completion of clearance will come at a hefty price.
“If property owners stop crews prior to completion of debris removal, they will be responsible for all costs incurred up to that point,” according to Lance Klug, a spokesperson for the program.
Fire victims have two choices: opt in to the CalRecycle Consolidated Debris Removal Program and have foundations removed, or opt out and hire a private contractor.
Earlier stories published in The Malibu Times offered more details on the program and why foundation removal was a non-negotiable aspect of opting in to the CalRecycle Consolidated Debris Removal Program.
