​In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has been actively involved in debris removal operations across Western North Carolina. A notable example is the work conducted in Old Fort, North Carolina, where crews have been transporting debris from affected areas to the Debris Management Site in McDowell County. ​This video shows how this critical operation helps manage the millions of cubic yards of debris cleared from waterways, right of ways and personal property.
