Some clearing and grubbing work is continuing. Grading continues on both sides of the Broad River and
construction work is underway for the new Broad River Bridge. Also, work has started on culverts.
At the Broad River Bridge project it appeared that one of the.permanent casing had not been seated properly and
drill slung was escaping into the River. Please ensure that all drilling operations are in compliance with 401
Certification conditions.
Project appeared to be in good condition.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and mulching as required.
