Stage 1 Fire Restrictions enacted

Effective beginning 12:01 a.m. Friday, June 12, 2026, until further notice. These restrictions apply to all private land and BLM managed public lands within the boundaries of the Grand Junction Field Office. For more information visit the Fire Restrictions webpage.

Last week Mesa County completed environmental mitigation of an area in Clifton that included the Peachtree shopping center, Union Pacific Railroad, CDOT and Mesa County.

In addition to the cleanup, a security fence was constructed with jersey barriers to prevent future public dumping, trespassing, and illegal RV encampments, as this has been a problem area for years.

We thank everyone who was involved in making this possible, specifically: 

  • Deputy Lambert and Sgt. Eldridge from Mesa County Sheriff's Office
  • Rudy Bevan & Travis Cole from Road and Bridge
  • Travis Haldeman from Facilities and Parks
  • Mesa County Surveyor Scott Thompson & Mesa County Assistant Attorney David Schwenke for assistance with the Right of Way assessment;
  • Greg St. Martin, Code Compliance Service Officer, for project coordination and contracting the fence construction and environmental cleanup

Nearby residents are very thankful for the outcome of the project.

Go, Team Mesa!
