County Storing Tree Debris at Multiple Altadena Sites

County crews have started to dump tree debris that is being cleaned off area city streets at multiple county flood channels, including several in Altadena.

Residents nearby the areas where the dumping is occurring should be prepared for the operations to continue for as long as three months, according to Kerjon Lee of the Public Works Department.

The intention is to reduce the tree debris to mulch and haul it off the site by this summer to avoid any fire hazards, according to Lee.

The work is happening at the following locations:

· West Ravine Sediment Placement Site (TG 535-H3) - Chaney Trail and Alzada Drive

· Lincoln Sediment Placement Site (TG 535-G4) - Loma Alta Drive, west of Sunset Ridge

· Eaton Sediment Placement Site (TG 536-F7) - New York Drive at the intersection of Eaton Canyon Drive and Kinneloa Canyon Road

· Hastings Sediment Placement Site (TG 536-H7) 

· Sierra Madre Villa Sediment Placement Site (TG 566-G1)

· Eaton Spreading Grounds (TG 566 – F2) - Washington Boulevard and Sierra Madre Boulevard. 

· Santa Anita Sediment Placement Site (TG 567 E1) in the City of Arcadia

Several Chaney Trail residents have already written Altadena Patch and commented on the site with concerns about the increased traffic and vehicle fumes in the area from those operations.

Lee wrote that the facilities are going to be used for debris from several cities including Pasadena, Arcadia, and unincorporated county areas like Altadena.
