Dear Mr. Setzer:
C) ?
• Dee Freeman
Secretary
On January 6, 2010, I inspected the construction work on Upward Road between US Highway 176 and
Howard Gap Road in Henderson County. Construction work is now taking place all along Upward Road
between Howard Gap Road and US Highway 176.
Rains have resulted in sediment and erosion control structures being impacted and the off-site loss of sediment
in some areas. Please ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are repaired and maintained and
that any off-site sediment is removed. Seeding and mulching should be 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,
Jz p?

Reviewed project with DOT staff.
Recent rains have resulted in sediment and erosion control structures being impacted and the off-site sediment
loss in several locations. Any off-site sediment should be removed.
Remove silt in ditches along Upward Road near Bat Fork Creek.
Place rip rap on slopes at culvert outlet near US 176.
Repair and maintain all erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect
State surface waters.
