En route to land and while crossing the Atlantic, Florence strengthened to a Major Category 4 Hurricane and was bearing down on the Carolina coast. Thankfully,for the residents of the State of North Carolina, before the _ storm made landfall,it had been downgraded to a Category 1, Although a significantly '' r smaller storm, Florence still packed a punch and produced historical storm surge (9- 13 feet)and rains(20-30 inches). As it moved inland towards Duplin County, it slowed and weakened further,but that stalling movement brought torrential rains that severely flooded the County with almost 20 inches of rain in some areas. CrowderGulf holds a pre-event contract with Duplin County and after the storm made landfall,our personnel were on the ground Immediately to begin damage assessments. Unfortunately, due to the widespread flooding across the state, access to the hardest hit areas and preliminary damage estimates were impossible until the waters had receded. Once passable, the CrowderGulf Team surveyed the flood damage both from the street level and from the air by drone. The heaviest damage in the County was _- concentrated in the southern portion between Kenansville and Wallace, but all Towns within the County experienced some flooding. ratably, the Town of Wallace took the hardest hit with rainfall totaling 20 inches. The Hwy 41 corridor through Wallace up to Chinquapin was devastated. Once residents were able to return to their homes and begin the process of removing their debris we began ROW operations on October 1. We had previously mobilized a fleet of self-loading debris trucks and all necessary 1' support equipment including wheel loaders, large capacity end dumps, tub grinders, and a large crew of operators and ground personnel to support all of the equipment. We had to establish one debris management site (DIMS) in the County where all vegetative and construction and demolition debris was brought to be reduced by crushing or grinding before being hauled to final disposal. A total of 190,032 cubic yards of debris was removed and disposed of in Duplin County-97,723 cubic yards of C&D and 90,309 cubic yards of vegetation. Hundreds of units of White Goods were recovered and several thousand pounds of Household Hazardous Waste(HHW)were removed and disposed. 83
