1.0 Purpose and Objectives
Siskiyou County is the fifth largest county in California by geographic area, yet ranks 45th in
population, with only about 44,076 residents as of 2021. This combination of vast land area
and a small, widely dispersed population presents substantial challenges for environmental
monitoring, enforcement, and cleanup activities. With limited staffing and financial resources,
the County faces ongoing difficulties in proactively identifying, responding to, and remediating
illegal dumping sites.
These constraints allow illegal dumping and the accumulation of hazardous waste to persist far
longer than is acceptable for protecting public health, natural resources, and agricultural
operations. Without additional support, the County’s capacity to address both existing and
emerging sites remains severely limited. Grant‑funded programs are therefore essential. They
strengthen local capabilities, enable timely cleanup and abatement, and help prevent further
environmental degradation that cannot be adequately addressed under current resource
limitations.
To meet these needs, the Environmental Health Division of the County of Siskiyou is seeking
qualified contractors to provide professional services and to establish a pool of prequalified
vendors who can respond on an as‑needed basis to individual cleanup sites under the Farm
and Ranch Solid Waste Cleanup and Abatement Grant Program.
CalRecycle administers this program pursuant to California Code of Regulations section
17991(d) to support the cleanup and prevention of illegal dumping on farm and ranch
properties. The grant serves as a critical tool for safeguarding public health, protecting
agricultural lands, and preserving environmental quality. Each site is eligible for a budget of up
to $50,000, with up to four sites anticipated per fiscal year.
2.0 Scope of Work (SOW)
Qualified contractors shall provide all labor, equipment, materials, supervision, and incidentals
necessary to complete illegal dumping cleanup and abatement activities. The proposed
projects may include the removal of illegally dumped trash, hazardous waste, recyclables,
refuse, and the installation of fencing and access gates. The projects are located throughout
the County. The Contractor is responsible for all the prescribed work, materials, waste permits,
and associated equipment necessary to complete the project.
All Contractors are required to be licensed, insured, and bonded. Attachment C outlines
contract details to be completed for awarded contractors as well as insurance requirements for

Timeline will be agreed upon by the selected Contractor at the start of each project. In the case
that all the work is not completed within the specified timeframes, damage will be sustained by
