The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is actively working to reduce turbidity in Burnett Reservoir near Ashville, North Carolina, after Hurricane Helene. Barges have been placed in the reservoir as a platform for the system that will reduce sediment in the reservoir. These efforts will increase filtration capacity at the North Fork Water Treatment Plant.
The Corps of Engineers is working in partnership with local, state and federal agencies in response to the historic flooding from Hurricane Helene. Current efforts include removing debris from the city of Asheville, North Carolina; Buncombe, Polk and McDowell counties; as well as Lake Lure and the North Carolina Arboretum. In addition to removing debris, USACE is also working with the city of Asheville and Buncombe County to provide safe drinking water.
