HONOLULU (KHON2) — The County of Maui Office of Recovery is urging wildfire property owners to opt into their Alternative Debris Removal Program to stay up-to-date with the latest online notices.
There are two options for debris removal for owners whos properties were destroyed by the August 2023 wildfire.
A Government-Sponsored Consolidated Debris Removal
A Alternative Debris Removal Program
Under the government-sponsored program, there are no out-of-pocket costs collected by the property owners.
The alternative program allows property owners to opt-out and manage the cleanup with their own licensed contractors.
Important deadlines for homeowners:
June 15, 2024: Application deadline to sign up for either the Alternative Debris Removal
Program or obtain an approved Right-of-Entry (ROE) for the Government-Sponsored
Consolidated Debris Removal, per adopted standards
Aug. 1, 2024: Work Plan submission deadline for private cleanup
Sept. 15, 2024: Cleanup deadline (30 days after acceptance of the Work Plan)
Private debris removal is conducted at the homeowner’s expense and must meet or exceed the
health and safety standards set by local, state, and federal agencies.
