Contractors move large vegetative debris in Swannanoa, North Carolina at the Beacon Temporary Debris & Reduction Site Feb. 1, 2025. Pieces of debris that are too large to fit into the wood chipper are stored in a separate area until they can be made into smaller, more manageable sized pieces before being shredded for use as daily top cover in a landfill.
The Corps of Engineers is working in partnership with local, state and federal agencies, to include the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in response to the historic flooding from Hurricane Helene. Current efforts include removing debris from the city of Asheville, North Carolina; Buncombe, Polk and McDowell counties; as well as Lake Lure, North Carolina Arboretum and the Highlands Recreation Area in Macon County. In addition to removing debris, USACE is also working with the city of Asheville and Buncombe County to provide safe drinking water. (U.S. Army photo by Stacey Reese/released)
