Contractors Help Flood Cleanup




A Jan. 1, 2009 flood in Estacada, Ore. blocked roads and extensively damaged community structures, including the public library. Landscape contractors are among those cleaning things up.

Just outside city limits, the rising waters of a tributary that feeds into the Clackamas River carried debris downstream and flooded a road. When local contractor Chris Klaetsch arrived, he removed large trees, railroad ties, fencing and three truckloads of mud from the area before the water receded far enough for residents to cross the bridge.

Outside the Estacada Public Library, landscape contractor Stephen Shibley and other volunteers and city staff filled wheelbarrows with shovels full of mud in an effort to clear the decorative swale and water feature near the entrance.
