Department of Agriculture to provide $96,000 for tornado debris removal

LITTLE ROCK — The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service will provide $96,000 to help remove debris in Arkansas left in the wake of a tornado last year.

The debris is to be removed from Palarm Creek in Faulkner County and work is planned to help prevent future flooding on the creek.

The EF4 tornado that struck last April is blamed for 16 deaths in central Arkansas, damage to an estimated 3,000 homes and the clogging of streams with debris.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission is sponsoring the project.
