A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contractor uses a chainsaw to cut the face of a tree that will be cut down due to damage it sustained from an EF-5 tornado that tore through Joplin, Mo., May 22. By cutting a notch in the tree, it makes it easier to direct the tree to fall in a certain direction. Trees marked by a white triangle are being cut as part of the debris cleanup process so the city can rebuild and replant in damaged areas. The tree will be cleared from the lot and sent to the Schifferdecker debris site and chipped into a very rough mulch for beneficial secondary use. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is managing debris removal as part of the federal tornado recovery effort.
