County of Lake Board of Supervisors Meeting · Tuesday 07/07/2026

The County of Lake Board of Supervisors held a meeting on July 7, 2026, to consider assessments for abatement costs related to environmental cleanup projects funded by a CalRecycle grant. The board reviewed liens for three properties, including an old mine site on Dry Creek Road in Middletown and two adjacent parcels on Lakeshore Boulevard in Lakeport. The abatement work involved removal of mining debris and hazardous materials, with cleanup contractors such as 360 Junk Hauling and Case Excavating engaged. The board discussed concerns about invoice details and proper notice to property owners, particularly regarding the Lakeshore Boulevard properties. Despite these concerns, the board approved recording liens totaling approximately $130,000 against the properties to recover abatement costs, with CalRecycle placed as the first lienholder. The board also noted ongoing coordination with state agencies for further remediation of remaining environmental hazards on the mine site.
