U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) engineers launch modular barges into Claytor Lake using a 142-foot-long crane after careful assembly. These barges, along with the tugboats launched the day before, will facilitate the post-Hurricane Helene debris removal process. This process consists of several phases, beginning with site surveys and surface debris removal. Initially, each tugboat will push a barge carrying either an excavator or a 40-cubic yard roll-off container to collect debris. In the next phase, the roll-off containers are removed from the barges, and debris is sorted into categories: green waste, construction material, general trash, and hazardous materials. Finally, the separated debris is transported to a designated dump site for disposal.
