(A) Cal. Vehicle Code § 23112(b) forbids the placing, dumping or depositing of earth materials on public streets or any portion of the public right-of-way. All vehicles engaged in moving earth materials shall refrain from depositing earth materials on public streets by any means including, but not limited to, spillage from the bed of a truck or other vehicle and debris collected on the wheels of a vehicle. The City Engineer/Public Works Director may require a cash deposit from any person moving earth materials over public streets to ensure the cleanup of public streets.
(B) Any person moving earth materials over public streets shall be responsible for the immediate and complete removal of any materials spilled, dumped or deposited on a public street. If the person fails to immediately remove such spillage, dumping or deposited material, and it is necessary for the city to complete the removal, the responsible party, permittee or property owner from where the material was removed from or deposited to shall be liable to the city for the cost of such removal work. A cash deposit may be required to ensure the cleanup of public streets prior to approval of the haul route.
