TIP No. R-505
Henderson County
Dear Mr. Setzer:
On May 5, 2011, I inspected the construction work on US Highway 25 between Interstate 26 and NC Highway
225 in Henderson County. Construction is taking place all along the project but most of the work is located at
or near the new bridge over US Highway 176.
Please ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and mulching are
performed as needed to protect downstream waters. 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
