About this award
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service awarded a $398,000 firm fixed-price contract to Heritage Tree Recycling LLC on October 14, 2025, to remove approximately 7,408 tons of woody debris from the Neal's Creek Helipad area in Pisgah National Forest near Mars Hill, North Carolina. The work is a moratorium exception tied to Hurricane Helene disaster recovery and involves sorting and removing flood-contaminated woody biomass from 10 debris piles across 3 acres of a 10-acre project area. The contractor will separate burnable materials from flood debris and process woody biomass over 6 inches in diameter using specialized equipment such as air curtain burners, incinerators, or carbonizers. This is a non-set-aside contract with a completion deadline of April 15, 2026, and the Forest Service is partnering with Haywood County Soil & Water District to explore secondary objectives of processing material into biochar for use as a soil amendment in hurricane-affected areas.
The contract was competitively solicited with a mandatory site visit on September 3, 2025, and proposals due September 15, 2025, with evaluation based on technical approach, past performance, and community benefit including safety protocols and local workforce utilization. Heritage Tree Recycling LLC will be compensated on a lump-sum basis with tonnage estimates provided for each debris pile. Additional contract requirements include revegetating disturbed ground per the solicitation's revegetation plan and obtaining necessary burn permits from the North Carolina Forest Service for debris disposal operations. The project is located in Yancey County, accessed via the South Toe River Road (Forest Service Road 472), with access to water from Neal's Creek for equipment operations.
