If I sign a Right of Entry from for property fire debris clean-up, what can I expect?

The fire debris clean-up by state agencies and Nevada County has two phases: removal of hazardous waste and removal of other fire-related debris. 

In phase one, the County, state, and federal agencies have organized teams of experts from the California State Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) to inspect your property and remove any household hazardous waste that may pose a threat to human health, animals, and the environment such as batteries, asbestos siding, and paints.

In phase two, Cal OES, FEMA and local officials are coordinating with CalRecycle to execute contracts and conduct fire-related debris removal from your property.
