Description
Description | The project involves removing sediment and debris from Lake Adger, a 438-acre reservoir, which was significantly impacted by flooding from Tropical Storm Helene. The sediment buildup reduced the lake's depth and storage capacity. Since February 2026, contractor Ceres has removed over 300,000 cubic yards of sediment using barge-mounted and pontoon-based equipment. The material is transferred to a temporary offloading site and then transported to approved disposal locations. The project aims to restore the lake's capacity and improve water flow and is part of the N.C. Emergency Management State Mission-Assigned Recovery Task Program. |
