Cleanup of the Old Table Bluff Reservation
In 2002, the department managed a massive cleanup of the old Table Bluff Reservation. Funded with $188,000 from California Integrated Waste Management Board, the Tribe removed 1400 cubic yards of household trash and construction debris, 25 cubic yards of appliances, 80 cubic yards of hazardous waste, 10 cubic yards of asbestos, 400 cubic yards of metal debris, 100 cubic yards of tires, 5 cubic yards of vehicle parts, and some 25 abandoned vehicles. While the Tribe has certainly made efforts to protect its lands and the environment, controlling illegal dumping remains a difficult challenge.
