Valley Springs, CA…Calaveras County will continue the Annual Vegetation Removal Project along Cosgrove Creek, near Valley Springs.  The project is scheduled to begin on October 17 and will continue through mid-November.

Calaveras County is working with a local landscape maintenance firm and CalFire to conduct the work this season.  Entering the creek on-foot and using hand-tools such as weed-eaters and chainsaws, crews will clear vegetative material and debris in the riparian corridor along an approximate two-mile section of Cosgrove Creek, south of Valley Springs from Gold Creek Estates to Silver Rapids Road.  This section of the creek is bordered by State Route 26, traverses a golf course, and passes through populated neighborhoods.

This project will occur during normal business hours, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, weekdays.  Crews working with chain saws and other equipment will generate noise during daytime hours.  We ask for your patience and that you exercise extra caution when workers are present. Thank you for your support of this important program.

If you have any questions or need to report urgent road related issues, please call Calaveras County Public Works Department at (209) 754-6401, during regular business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm).

After regular business hours please contact the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office at (209) 754-6500 (non-emergency phone number).
