SPRINGFIELD — Local cleanup costs for the hurricane-like storms that ripped through the area a few weeks ago have reached an estimated $365,000 and could still climb.

The damage, however, might not be enough to qualify for state or federal aid.

“It could increase, but the heavy hitters are in. What else might raise this is ongoing debris cleanup,” Clark County Emergency Management Agency Director Lisa D’Allessandris said Monday.

County departments, cities, townships and villages are still cleaning up damage caused by the June 29 and July 1 storms that downed trees and power lines, leaving about 1 million statewide without electricity.

The aftermath prompted Gov. John Kasich to declare a state of emergency and call in the National Guard.

Clark County commissioners on July 3 also declared a state of emergency to allow the county to seek federal and state aid.

Still, in order to receive funding, the county must reach a threshold of $468,000 and the state must reach a $15 million threshold for aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), said D’Allessandris and Ken Johnson, deputy director of the Clark County EMA.

Champaign County damage estimates are not yet available, but the county must reach $138,333 for aid, EMA director Craig Evans said.

The threshold for each county is based on population levels in the 2010 census plus $3.39 cents per capita.

“If the state can’t meet their threshold, there’s no funding,” Johnson said. “(Costs) will pretty much come from the local jurisdictions out of their budgets, which are unfortunately tight. There’s no guarantee until it’s all said and done. We tell them going in they need to plan on paying for it.”

Ohio EMA officials said it’s too early to tell if the state will meet the threshold for funding.

“Sometime early next week we should have a good understanding of where we are,” said Tamara McBride, a spokeswoman for the Ohio EMA.

In 2008, FEMA declared Clark County incurred more than $1 million in costs related to wind storm caused by Hurricane Ike.

Clark County Engineer John Burr said cleanup efforts after the latest storm have cost his department about $80,000 so far, but added that officials are still working on 30 locations.

Burr said the winds on June 29 caused widespread damage and the July 1 storm hit the western part of the county the hardest.

Mark Beckdahl, Springfield’s finance director, said preliminary costs for the city included about $40,000 for employee overtime. Brush cleanup efforts are done during business hours.

“We have some areas that had extensive damage, but it wasn’t that severe. Overall, the storm wasn’t as bad as the storm in 2008,” he said.

New Carlisle Service Director Howard Kitko said preliminary numbers for equipment and overtime costs are at about $15,000.

He said officials still must clean up about half the city.

Kitko, like many other area leaders, said the storm rivaled the 2008 wind storm.

“We had more trees down for this storm than when Hurricane Ike came through, but the power outages seem to have been worse than the wind storm,” Kitko said.

Enon officials say storm damage costs are currently more than $2,200. They also anticipate tree removal to cost more than $4,740.

“One of the bad things that happened is one of the old trees on top of the Indian mound was hit by lightning or sustained wind damage and is going to have to be taken down,” Enon Mayor Tim Howard said.

Springfield Twp. Administrator Jeff Briner said officials are still tallying storm damage cost but anticipates the estimates will be about one-third of the $399,000 officials spent for the 2008 cleanup.

“We don’t have a dollar figure at this point, but I can tell you that it will be staggering,” Briner said.
