Dear Mr. Swain:
Dee Freeman

On June 14, 2010, I inspected the construction work on the US Highway 221 Project in Rutherford County.
Clearing and grubbing work along with minor grading was taking place during the inspection. Also, sediment
and erosion control structures were being installed.
Please ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and seeding and mulching are
performed as required to protect State surface waters. Also, please refer to the attached inspection report for
any specific items noted during the inspection.
If you have questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely, Michael R. Parker
