State officials discuss removal of tornado debris in Lake Martin

DADEVILLE, Alabama ? Officials from several state agencies met Thursday to discuss ways of removing some tornado debris that remains in Lake Martin.

The Alabama Emergency Management Agency says the debris is in the Sandy Creek area of Tallapoosa County.

The Montgomery Advertiser reports that solutions to remove the estimated 100 cubic yards of debris include labor from the Department of Corrections along with additional state agency assets.

About $1.1 million was spent to remove more than 15,000 cubic yards of debris from the lake last year. Additional debris was exposed when the lake level was dropped to its winter pool.

Authorities say removal of the newly exposed debris should take about two weeks, barring bad weather. They say all removal will be completed before lake levels are restored March 1.
