The May 4th storm that rolled through the Elmore community releasing most all of its energy over a small area has left many downed trees.
As a part of the clean-up of this type event, county highway department personnel are scheduled to remove woody debris placed on the county right of way within the affected areas.
The plan has been to initially remove piled debris from county-maintained ditches that carry the most water which was done last Thursday. County personnel have been monitoring the debris removal process from private property in order to allow maximum time for citizens to place debris on County right of way before clean-up started.
Today there are two crews working to remove debris in the Elmore community with one having started on Oak St and one in the area of Perkins St. Based on this weeks removal progress an additional crew may be added next week.
As a reminder, only storm related woody debris can be placed on county right of way for removal.
Thanks,
Bart
