Harper Valley residents urge San Juan County to address debris and illegal dumping along County Road 6100
Summary
Several Harper Valley residents told the commission they face ongoing debris, wrecked cars and dumping near their neighborhood and asked the county to send code compliance to investigate and mitigate the problem.
Multiple residents from Harper Valley told the San Juan County Commission on May 19 that debris, wrecked cars and ad-hoc dumping near County Road 6100 are creating an eyesore and reducing neighborhood property values. Residents asked the commission to direct code compliance to inspect and address the site.
Ross Trujillo (speaker 3) described debris and wrecked cars along the Old Kirtland Highway and County Road 6100, asked the county to send code compliance and noted post-flood debris from two years earlier that remains. Jason Wood (speaker 11), representing several hundred Harper Valley residents, said attempts to mitigate had included a stacked-tire wall that collapsed and that people are continuing to dump trailers and truckloads of material, making it look like a landfill.
Rhonda Gilbert (speaker 17) thanked Commissioner Gonzales for earlier responsiveness and said the problem had proliferated over the past four years; she urged enforcement of existing codes. No formal county action was taken during public comment; the chair acknowledged the concerns.
What happens next: residents requested county code compliance inspection and mitigation; commissioners did not record a formal action on the record at this meeting.
