In Mill Valley California in both City and County jurisdictions we are noticing that several construction developers have cleared large sections of their property of vegetation and trees prior to receiving any authorization or permitting for development. Some have constructed roads without permits. Many of these projects have not even gone through basic environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. As a result of these activities and lack of BMP, water quality and soil stability will be degraded during the rains affecting downstream residents and wildlife.
We are monitoring these projects and apprising the relevant agencies of the environmental issues created. Some of the work includes clearing vegetation, exposing bare soils and disturbing wildlife and birds during nesting season which goes from mid February through mid August.
The ramifications of these activities will require mitigation to correct. We are asking that landowners who do this in an attempt to avoid regulations and before environmental review are creating more problems for themselves and their neighbors.
