The flood debris collection site at the Clendenin park and ride will remain open this week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, according to a release from Kanawha County Manager Jennifer Sayre. The site will only accept debris from the June 23 flood, and all hazardous materials must be separated, according to the release. Demolition material will not be accepted at the site.
Weeks after the June flooding, Kanawha County is still under a state of emergency and is supporting recovery efforts in the Clendenin and Elkview areas, according to the release.
The Kanawha County Planning Department's mobile planning office will be operating from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday across from the Maywood Ave. post office in Clendenin, the release said. To apply for a building permit, residents should bring any damage assessment information and an estimate of repair costs, the release said.
