Oregon Debris Management Task Force crews are hard at work in the Santiam Canyon. As of April 22, 101 properties had been cleaned with more than 18,000 tons of ash, debris, and contaminated soil removed. There are currently four crews dedicated to the Santiam Canyon.
Moving from east to west, hazard tree marking and tree removal continues along Hwy. 22 between mileposts 27-29, 51-52, and 57-59.5. Keep up to date with debris cleanup efforts at debriscleanupnews.com.

Still time to submit Right of Entry forms
As debris removal picks up, we want to ensure that remaining property owners not yet participating can still opt in to the state cleanup program.
If you have fire-damaged property and want help with cleanup at no cost, you’ll need to sign and submit a property access agreement called a Right of Entry form. The Right of Entry form allows crews onto your property to remove ash and debris, hazard trees, concrete foundations and burned vehicles.
