Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger on Monday reported that all property owners in the Eaton fire area have notified the county about their plans for debris removal following last week’s deadline to opt in or out of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers program.

During Monday’s weekly Altadena Community Meeting, Barger said those who opted to handle debris removal on their own should expect a date from the county in the coming weeks for when they need to submit plans about how they’ll remove their debris.

The deadline to opt in or out on debris removal had been extended two weeks to April 15.

“This is a significant milestone that reflects the commitment and the determination of the Altadena community to rebuild and begin to move forward,” Barger said.

Col. Sonny Avichal of the Corps of Engineers said that for about the past week, the Phase 2 effort has been at its plateau stage of 125 to129 crews working in Altadena.

As of Monday, the corps has completed fire ash debris removal on about 2,800 properties and returned right-of-entry forms to the county for about 1,300 properties.

Avichal said crews are clearing about 68 properties a day in Altadena and have passed 600,000 tons of debris removed — the equivalent, Avichal said, of 60 Eiffel Towers or six aircraft carriers.

“The Altadena that you see today will look very differently about two months from now and so just keep that in mind.

“There is a flurry of activity going on in that area,” Avichal said.The corps remains on pace to substantially complete Phase 2 by late summer or early fall, Avichal said, while offering the caveat that difficult properties, including those in precarious locations, will take longer to complete.

According to a corps dashboard, 5,369 right-of-entry forms have been accepted by the county and in progress with the corps’ contractor.
