Dear Mr. Swain:
On August 24, 2011, I inspected the construction project on the US Highway 19 Project in Yancey County.
Construction has started along the length of the project with tree clearing, utility construction, heavy grading
and culvert installation.
Please continue to ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and seeding and
mulching are performed as required to protect State surface waters. Also, please refer to the attached
inspection report for any specific items noted during the inspections.
If you have questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
