Bridge Department reports ongoing patching, debris piles; FEMA to inspect for burn and reimbursement
Summary
Harrison County Bridge Department reported continued road patching and two large debris piles that FEMA may inspect and reimburse; staff said once FEMA signs off the county will burn and use ash to improve soil at county pits.
The county’s Bridge Department told commissioners on Feb. 25 that road patching is ongoing and that crews continue to remove trees and other debris after recent storms.
Bridge Department staff (Davis) said the department will meet with FEMA to have two large debris piles measured for potential reimbursement. “They usually pay us about a cubic yard of the tree debris,” Davis said, and once FEMA signs off county crews will burn the piles and scatter ash to promote grass growth at the pits.
Davis said crews remain focused on patching and cleanup, and noted persistent rain cycles complicate work. Commissioners asked about a large pile at the airport and were told the county plans to burn it when FEMA completes inspections and reimbursement measurements.
