NO OUTDOOR BURNING ALLOWED IN SUDDEN VALLEY EXCEPT "RECREATIONAL" FIRES

The SVCA Board approved changes in the Rules and Regulations, banning all outdoor burning in Sudden Valley. The approved changes forbid Land Clearing Burning (outdoor burning of trees, stumps, shrubbery, or other natural vegetation from land clearing projects) and Residential Outdoor Burning (burning leaves, clippings, prunings and other yard and gardening refuse). Two exceptions are Recreational Fires (total fuel area must be less than three feet in diameter and used for the purpose of cooking or entertainment) and Fire Fighting Instructional Fires.

Burning yard waste is prohibited in Sudden Valley. You can dispose your yard debris at the Clean Green Yard Waste Transfer Site located at Lakeway and Woburn. The hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday (including holiday weekends) from the first weekend in March through November 27th. Fee: $2.00 per load. For more information call the Bellingham Public Works Department at 360-676-6850. If you prefer to have the debris picked up and hauled away, contact the administration office for a list of companies that provide this service.

Fieldwork for phase one of the Division 16 FAWS project started the week of September 20th. The long-term goals of the FAWS program are to develop personal and property safety for the Sudden Valley community, provide aesthetics and recreation opportunities for residents and guests, maintain healthy forests, preserve wildlife and fisheries as integral parts of the Sudden Valley development, maintain and enhance the community's property values and to provide fire protection. The Division 16 FAWS project will consist of three phases:

PHASE 1 - TREE REMOVAL

Identification and removal of trees will be supervised and coordinated by Alan Soicher of Evergreen Ecoforestry LLC using the FAWS plans as a guideline.

PHASE 2 - BRUSH & DEBRI REMOVAL

This will be conducted in consultation with the Department of Natural Resources under their Firewise Program.

PHASE 3 - TRAILS & BIRD NEST BOXES

Construction and installation to be completed by volunteers and SVCA staff.

Additional information and copies of the FAWS Plan are available at the SVCA Administration office.
