TIP No. B-4038
Burke County
Dear Mr. Swain:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On July 29, 2009 I inspected the construction work on the NC Highway 183 Bridge project in Burke County.
Construction is almost complete on the project. The new bridge has been completed and the old structure was
in the process of being demolished. The new bridge area appears to be in good condition; however, caution
should be used in the demolition of the old bridge, to keep concrete material and wastewater from the sawing
operation out of the Linville River.
Please continue to ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and
mulching are performed as required to protect State surface waters. A copy of the inspection report is attached
to this letter.
If you have questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Parker
Environmental Senior Specialist

Construction on new bridge has been completed and demolition of the old bridge is underway.
Caution should be used in the demolition of the old bridge structure to keep concrete, steel and
wastewater from the sawing operation, out of' he Linville River.
The sediment and erosion control structures appear to be working properly.
Continue to ensure that the sediment and erosion control structures are maintained properly, to help
protect the State's surface waters.
