TIP No. R-505
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Setzer:
On January 6, 2011, 1 inspected the construction work on US Highway 25 between Interstate 26 and NC
Highway 225 in Henderson County. Most all of the construction work is taking place at the south end of the
project around the bridge construction and in the median between lanes.
The inspection found that'recent rains had impacted the area with sediment loss mainly located in roadway
ditches and embankments. Some sediment and erosion control devices were affected by these rain events.
Please ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are repaired and maintained and that seeding and
mulching are performed as needed to protect downstream waters. All sediment and erosion control devices
should be checked and maintained prior to closing down construction operations for the season. Please refer to
the attached copy of the inspection report for additional comments regarding the inspection.
If you have questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Parker
Environmental Senior Specialist

Recent rains resulted in loss of sediment in several areas. Most areas affected were ditch lines and
embankments.
Most all of the construction work is on the south end of the project at the bridge or associated with pipe work in.
the median and north side of US Highway 25.
Repair and maintain all sediment and erosion control devices.
Continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State surface waters.
Ensure that all sediment and erosion control devices are checked and maintained prior to closing construction
operations for the season.
