Debris Removal Operations Begin: Move Storm Debris to Right-of-Way for Collection 
Debris removal operations have officially started in McDowell County this morning, with AshBritt and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers leading the effort to clear storm debris efficiently and safely.
Debris collection will focus first on these areas:
- Town of Old Fort
- Old Hwy 70
- Mill Creek Road
- Graphite Road
In the coming days, teams will also cover the Crooked Creek Community and other nearby areas.
Resident Instructions: Residents in these communities should begin placing debris within 10 feet of the right-of-way on any primary or secondary road. To assist crews, separate debris by type: vegetative, construction materials, appliances, electronics, and hazardous waste.
Your cooperation will help speed up the process as we work to restore our community safely. Thank you!
