California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle)
About the project
The 2020 California fire season tallied over 8,000 wildfires which scorched 4.1 million acres, destroying more than 10,000 structures and resulting in 31 fatalities. The California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) tasked the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) with streamlining the safe removal of wildfire debris.
Tidal Basin and Michael Baker International joined together to lead the cleanup effort for the Inland Branch Emergency Cleanup Response, an area that encompassed 40 separate wildfire incidents.
