Dear Mr. Setzer:
Dee Freeman

be working properly.
Please continue to ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and
mulching are performed as needed to protect downstream waters. A copy of the inspection report is attached

Additional comments:
Reviewed project with DOT staff. Bridge deck has been poured.
Work continues with remaining items consisting of piping„grading, paving and old bridge demolition.
Estimate that project should be completed by end of May 2010.
Sediment and erosion control devices appear to be in good shape
Maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State surface
waters.
