A big bump in the estimated amount of debris created by Hurricane Isaias' rampage through Santa Rosa County has driven up the cost of clean up and pushed back the time frame for having it completed. Deputy County Administrator Jared Lowe reported to the Santa Rosa County Commission Nov. 10 that an original estimate of the amount of debris of 1.8 million cubic yards had been increased to somewhere in the vicinity of 4 million cubic yards. "The first best guess was made by an assessment team driving around and looking at what they saw," Lowe said. "The second estimate comes as people are pulling debris that wouldn't have been visible from the road in those first days." With a first pass of debris clean up nearing completion and a second due to get underway, county residents are replacing what had been removed from the roadway with debris from the backs of their properties, Lowe told commissioners. The amount already collected has exceeded 2 million cubic yards. "We're looking at considerable cleanup for the next month or two," Commission Chairman Colten Wright concluded after hearing Lowe's report. That timeline would extend by about a month what had originally been estimated.
