This initial notification letter will contain a form cleanup request <br /> letter (document will also be available on-line) that can be submitted to <br /> Solid Waste requesting that their property be considered for cleanup. <br /> • For each property owner cleanup request received the Solid Waste <br /> Department would verify that the property is within the permitted % mile <br /> radius and proceed to evaluate the trash and debris that is requested to be <br /> collected and schedule the cleanup. It would be desirable for the property <br /> owner or a representative of the owner to be on site when the property is <br /> evaluated so property lines can be respected, that all materials that should <br /> be subject to the cleanup can be identified and that issues such as <br /> ingress/egress can be clarified. Depending on the specific situation <br /> photographs may be taken before and after cleanup to supplement any <br /> records kept as part of the project, including contract billing invoicing. <br /> • The property owner would be required to sign an authorization for county <br /> staff and contractors to enter the property and include an injury or <br /> property damage liability release in order to participate. <br /> • The following restrictions are to be in effect for this cleanup program: <br /> o Waste and debris that require excavation, digging or mechanical <br /> uncovering will not be collected. Only debris/trash located on or at <br /> ground level will be collected. Debris protruding from mounds that is <br /> partially buried will not be collected and will be considered excavation. <br /> The property owner may choose to uncover the protruding items for <br /> County collection. <br /> o Hazardous waste or other potentially dangerous materials will not be <br /> collected, except where clearly residential in nature and in leak proof/ <br /> secure containers. Staff may provide advice to the property owner with <br /> regard to how materials that Orange County will not collect may be <br /> properly collected and disposed. <br /> o Waste and debris must be reasonably accessible to Contractor. Property <br /> owner must provide access for laborers and equipment to debris/trash, <br /> or alternatively property owner can deliver materials to be accessible by <br /> public road or street. County/Contractor will not build roads, clear <br /> pathways or construct other access means to get to the debris/trash. <br /> 2 <br />
