The USACE in coordination with FEMA, released its Environmental Assessment for use of the former Koppers Inc. Plant in Oroville, California, as a temporary debris handling facility (TDHF) to stage, sort, process and transfer non-hazardous debris (e.g., concrete, masonry, vehicles and other metal materials) generated from the 2018 Camp Wildfire. The ash and other debris will not be taken to this site.
The public meeting is an opportunity to hear from state and federal officials about the proposed facility and ask questions. USACE is also soliciting public comment on the proposed facility through December 30, 2018, via email at TDHF@usace.army.mil.
