Most or all of my lot is covered with hypericum and/or vinca plants. What do I do with it?
A. Leave these hardy ground covers in place for now. A decision has not been made yet regarding the future of these ground cover plants in the recreation residence tracts. Q. I have a retaining wall that is not a planter and does not provide extra parking or picnic area, but is truly retaining soil on my steep lot. You indicated in your letter that it is in poor condition. What do I do? A. Contact the Forest Service so that we can review your circumstances. A field review may need to be scheduled. If your proposal to replace the wall is accepted, you will need to provide a conceptual plan for the replacement. If your retaining wall is over four feet high, you will need to provide our office with engineered plans and if required, obtain a Shasta County building permit. If the wall is less than four feet, you do not need to submit engineered plans.
