    A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contractor begins construction of a turbidity reduction system at the Bee Tree Reservoir, near Asheville, North Carolina, Nov. 19. USACE is building a system to remove sediment from the reservoir prior to the water going to the water treatment facility. The work is a partnership with the city of Asheville, North Carolina, Buncombe County and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

    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.
