I’ve told Olin and DEP to discuss access to my property for cleanup with the Newhall Trust. So why do Olin and DEP keep calling me?
Olin and DEP are contacting property owners of record to discuss access for the free cleanup and restoration since they retain the legal authority to grant or deny access to the property (unless the owner has granted power of attorney for another person to act on their behalf). Property owners may have the Newhall Trust, or any other personal advisor (attorneys, relatives, trusted friends, etc.), present during meetings with Olin or DEP. However, it is the property owner, or someone who has been granted power of attorney by the property owner, that must decide to grant or withhold access for the cleanup and restoration, and not a personal advisor.
