Reviewed project with DOT staff. Grading and pipe work is continuing. Paving continues to progress from
west to east.
Sediment and erosion control structures appear to be working properly; however, some basins and sediment
control structures are need of cleaning. Seed and/or matt areas that are needed.
The waste area has been seeded and matted on the slopes.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State
surface waters.
