Dear Mr. Setzer:
On May 11, 2011, 1 inspected the construction work on US Highway 64 in Clay County. Construction of the
project is almost complete and most of the work that remains is limited to shoulder work, clean-up and seeding
and mulching.
Please continue to ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and
mulching are performed as needed 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.

Reviewed project with DOT staff. Work underway includes shoulder work, clean-up and seeding and
mulching..
Sediment and erosion control structures appear to be working properly. All bare soil areas should be seeded and
mulched.
The waste area has been graded and seeded and appears to be in good shape.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding, matting and mulching as required to
protect State surface waters.
