Hurricane in Cabell County serves the Huntington metro market along the US-60 corridor, where clearing demand spans the commercial development that has made this area one of the most active retail corridors in the Tri-State region, residential development on the rolling terrain above the commercial axis, and the infill development that characterizes this growing Cabell County community distinct from the Putnam County Hurricane. Cabell County's terrain in this area has the rolling Appalachian foothills character of the Mud River watershed, with commercial corridor sites along US-60 transitioning to rolling residential terrain on the hillsides east and south of the major commercial arteries. WV DEP NPDES stormwater permit coverage is required for projects disturbing more than one acre in Cabell County.
This Cabell County corridor area has invasive species challenges typical of the Tri-State region's rapidly developing suburban areas, with Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altissima) aggressive on disturbed development margins along US-60 and Route 10, and multi-flora rose and Japanese Honeysuckle established in the remaining wooded areas between commercial development corridors. Creek drainages through this Cabell County area have Japanese Knotweed in some streamside locations that requires management during clearing projects affecting riparian margins. The active pace of commercial and residential development creates ongoing disturbed habitat that supports continued invasive species establishment along development margins.
Forestry mulching is practical for this Cabell County commercial and residential development corridor, handling both commercial parcel clearing along the US-60 axis and residential hillside site clearing on the rolling terrain above the commercial corridor. Cabell County's active development pace creates demand for clearing contractors who handle commercial and residential parcels efficiently while meeting WV DEP stormwater management requirements. The corridor's commercial growth benefits from mulching's speed on larger commercial parcels that need vegetation processing within commercial construction timelines.
Lot clearing in this Cabell County corridor requires WV DEP NPDES stormwater permit coverage for disturbances over one acre, with creek drainages in the area requiring review for fill and grading near regulated waterways. Cabell County's drainage requirements apply to clearing that alters site drainage toward the county's creek network. US-60 corridor commercial development may require WVDOH coordination for clearing near state highway right-of-way.
Established residential neighborhoods and Cabell County hillside properties in this area have mature Appalachian hardwood trees that periodically require professional removal when storm damage or proximity to structures creates safety hazards. Emerald Ash Borer has affected Cabell County ash populations throughout this corridor's residential neighborhoods. The area's active commercial construction environment creates demand for tree removal coordinated with construction schedules.
