Ranch Illegal Disposal Site Clean Up

Completed
The purpose of the project is to clean up debris resulting from a cannabis cultivation site established illegally ("trespass grow") on a ranch in Sonoma County. The landowners approached the RCD for assistance in cleaning up debris from the discovered grow: fencing, potting, irrigation, fertilizer, pesticide and herbicide materials. Upon completion of the clean up, the project also installed preventative measures to reduce the chance of a repeat offense on the ranch, such as No Trespassing signs and security cameras.
