Reviewed project with DOT staff and Wright Brothers. Heavy construction and pipe installation had just
started. Sediment and erosion control structures appear to be working properly. Seeding and/or matting should
be performed as areas are graded.
Maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State surface
waters.

Dear Mr. Setzer:
On September 3, 2009, 1 inspected the construction work on US Highway 25 in Henderson County and the
project appeared to be in good shape. Construction work consists of heavy grading and pipe installation. The
erosion and sedimentation control structures, vegetative covering, and matting appear to be working properly.
Please continue to ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and
mulching are performed as needed to protect downstream 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
