Construction is underway on most of the project with heavy grading taking place along the entire length of the
AA Section. Construction is continuing at the new Broad River Bridge but it is almost complete.
All areas that have been graded and no construction has taken place in the last 14 days should be seeded and
mulched.
All sediment and erosion control structures/devices should be checked for proper operation including the silt
fence.
Any off-site sediment should be removed and the site remediated.
Repair and maintain all erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect
State surface waters.
