Shakes & Shingles Ban Off

A California Superior Court judge has voided the Los Angeles County law banning untreated wood roofs in unincorporated areas of the county. The county did not comply with the California's Environmental Quality Act. Possible environmental damage will now have to be assessed and the county will have to file a relatively short "negative declaration," or a long detailed environmental impact statement, according to Western Wood Products Association field representative Don Comstock.

The action was taken on behalf of three persons in the local roofing industry. Comstock indicated that it is still unlawful to use untreated wood shingles or shakes in the fireprone brushy hillside Fire Zone 4 areas.
