Item Summary:
This policy describes clean-up responsibilities at streams on City property. Clean-ups are categorized as Major, Medium or Minor:
Major - Those situations where trees or large limbs have fallen into the water and become lodged, collecting debris and sediment, requiring the use of heavy equipment to safely dismantle or dislodge the blockage;
Medium - Those situations where significant debris has collected in or on the water and become trapped or lodged in place, which can be corrected without heavy equipment;
Minor - Those situations where debris has washed or collected on the bank of the stream, creating a messy or unsightly situation.
The City may provide guidance to private property owners responsible for stream cleanups to help identify the possible positive and negative outcomes of cleanup activity.
