Dear Mr. Setzer:

On February 3, 201 1, 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.
Recent rains have resulted in sediment and erosion control structures being impacted and the 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,
Michael R. Parker
Environmental Senior Specialist

Additional comments:
Reviewed project with DOT staff.
Recent rains have resulted in sediment and erosion control structures being impacted and sediment loss in
several locations. Any off-site sediment should be removed.
Repair slope areas between the old culvert and new culvert near US Highway 176.
Remove off-site sediment that has accumulated off right of way near Station 103+00.
Repair and maintain all erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect
State surface waters.
