AIS played a key role in delivering full-service disaster relief across three counties in Western North Carolina. From start to finish, our team managed every phase of the project — securing TOLs and ROEs, removing debris from riverbanks, and transporting it to the proper disposal sites. We worked closely with local facilities to ensure all debris was handled and disposed of in an environmentally responsible way. With crews working around the clock, AIS demonstrated its commitment to rapid response, regulatory compliance, and environmental stewardship.
