PIERRE, S.D. (AP) - Removal of the estimated 3 million sandbags
in Pierre-Fort Pierre is almost complete.
Ron Nagle of the Oahe Long-Term Flood Recovery Team says about
90 percent of the sandbags have been removed so far.
Nagle says the only sandbags still in place are those still
needed for levees or at the wish of the property owner.
Individuals and teams have been removing the sandbags for about
the past two months.
Mucking out of flood impacted basements is now starting. Nagle
says one specially-trained team is now in the area and more are
expected in the next few weeks.
