Title

Western Riverside County Weed Abatement Program

Description

The Weed Abatement Program specifically deals with the removal of materials from properties that would constitute a fire, health, or safety hazard. These materials may consist of weeds, dry grass, dead and/or decaying plants, groves, orchards, brushwood, or other flammable vegetation. All abatement activities are directed by the Fire Department on a site specific basis with recognition of areas conserved for rare, threatened, and endangered and other environmentally sensitive habitats. As a result of site specific inspections by Fire Department personnel, property owners of parcels within Riverside County will receive a targeted mailing that will include a Notice to Abate. Abatement on unimproved property shall be satisfied by mowing and/or disking and will be conducted in a manner pursuant to Ordinance No. 695.3 unless otherwise specifically indicated in the notice to abate. All abatement activities shall comply with the South Coast Air Quality Management District Rule 403 (Fugitive Dust Rule) and are conducted under the authority of Riverside County Ordinance No. 395 and the California Uniform Fire Code, Section 1103.2.4.
