Environmental officials begin to tally flood damage
Description
Article discusses the damage to the environment around Asheville caused by the floods. The initial smell of petroleum from the French Broad River was enough to 'knock (a person) down', as a restaurant owner puts it. Workers hired by the EPA are hard at work cleaning up the oil and petroleum spills throughout the area. Officials want the clean-up to be finished before Hurricane Ivan arrives, but the effect Ivan has on the region will determine when the cleanup effort will be done.
