Kerr County will begin burning debris from the July 4th floods by Labor Day.
County Engineer Charlie Hastings said there will be two sites burning 300 to 400 tons of debris per day.
"The material that's to be burned will be put in a tub grinder, and they will put it in the pit," he explained. "And in the morning, when they started and they get that incinerator fan blowing, it'll be a little bit of smoke, but once it gets up to temperature, it'll burn hot and clean all day long, and it'll be shut down every evening."
Hastings said it will take at least three to four months to burn all the debris, and it could take as long as a year depending on weather conditions.
