construction, pipe installation and roadbed preparation.
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 reports for
any specific items noted during the inspection.

Construction is underway on most of the project with grading and pipe installation taking place. Gravel has
been placed on the new roadway north and south of the Broad River.
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. Also, clean around waddles and drop inlets.
Sediment should be removed from the stream near Station 233+00.
Repair and maintain all erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect
State surface waters.

Review of sediment and erosion control structures indicate that most of the devices are clean and operating
properly.
Please ensure that installation of sediment and erosion control devices are keeping pace with the construction.
All sediment and erosion control structures/devices should be checked for proper operation including the silt
fence. Also, check all waddles and drop inlets. All areas that have been graded and no construction has taken
place in the last 14 days should be seeded and mulched.
Remove sediment from basin at Station 323+00 and seed slopes north of that Station.
Remove sediment from basin on the northeast side of railroad track at Station 300+00.
Repair and maintain all erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect
State surface waters.
