The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery administers the Farm and Ranch Solid Waste Cleanup and Abatement Grant Program, which provides up to $1 million annually in grants for the cleanup of illegal solid waste sites on farm or ranch property. A site may be eligible for funding if the parcel(s) is(are) zoned for agricultural use, where unauthorized solid waste disposal has occurred, and where the site(s) is(are) in need of cleanup in order to abate a nuisance or public health and safety threat and/or a threat to the environment.
The property neighbors Willow Creek Park, part of the Sonoma Coast Park System. The property adjoins Sonoma State Beach, which is the fourth most visited park within the State Park system. Other public lands also border the property, providing a protected conservation area of over 13,500 acres. Willow Creek offers a 15-mile network of ranch and logging roads leading to numerous trails, perennial streams, and scenic overlooks.
The Freezeout Creek Ranch Illegal Disposal Site is a privately-owned 305-acre ranch in Sonoma county that it is located in the California Coast Range. Freezeout Creek is within the Russian River watershed. The property is a few miles inland from the Pacific Ocean and the outlet of Freezeout Creek is adjacent to the town of Duncan Mills.
