COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL
Right of Entry forms for hazardous waste
clean-up, disposal due by Oct. 16
Before residents can
rebuild, property must
be cleared of household
hazardous waste or oth-
er hazardous substanc-
es. Property owners can
OPT IN for hazardous
waste removal services
at no cost to them (prop-
erty owners’ insurance
may be billed if applica-
ble).
Property owners need
to sign an access agree-
ment, called a Right of
Entry form, by Oct. 16 to
allow crews to clean up
hazardous waste on their
property.
The form is available
online at www.lanecoun-
ty.org/mckenziefire.
Removing fire debris
is a two-step cleanup
process.
Step 1 is clearing
properties of house-
hold hazardous waste to
minimize exposure of
hazardous materials to
the public.
Step 1 is being offered
at no cost to property
owners (although insur-
ance may be billed if ap-
plicable).
The U.S. Environmen-
tal Protection Agency
will assess and remove
household
hazardous
waste from burned prop-
erties.
This work will be
funded by FEMA and
the State of Oregon.
Step 2 is removal of
ash, debris and burned-
out structures.
State, county, and fed-
eral partners are actively
working to develop op-
tions for ash and debris
removal.
(This is likely, but not
yet confirmed, to be
available at no cost to
property owners. FEMA
is evaluating our applica-
tion.)
Crews that specialize
in identifying and re-
moving hazardous sub-
stances will visit affected
properties, determine
what hazardous materi-
als need to be removed,
and remove them for
safe disposal.
Commercial or in-
dustrial properties are
included in hazardous
waste and debris remov-
al efforts
Household hazardous
waste removal timeline

asked to sign the prop-
erty access agreement by

• Boots-on-the-
ground teams: Oct. 20-

• Clean up complete by
