1. Reviewed project with DOT staff and Blythe Development personnel. Construction is underway all along the
project. Temporary bridge has been installed across Interstate 26.
2. New 48° RCP pipe at Sta. 24+00 has been installed and stream diverted. Banks on both sides of the pipe need
to be seeded, mulched and matted.
3. Grade, seed and mulch area at Sta. 28+00.
4. Seed and mulch shoulders and slopes at Station 62+00 to 66+10.
5. Seed, mulch and mat inlet of 48 inch RCP at Sta. 80+00.
6. Continue to maintain all sediment and erosion control devices and seed, mulch and matt all disturbed areas
