TIP No. B-4239
Polk County
Dear Mr. Setzer:
On November 5, 2009, I inspected the construction work at the new,bridge site on NCSR 1102, Pearson Falls
Road in Polk County. Construction work appears to be going well. Both of the new MSE walls are almost
complete. Rip rap has been placed at the base of each MSE wall. The erosion and sedimentation control
structures, vegetative covering, and matting appear to be working properly.
Please continue to ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and
mulching are performed as needed to protect downstream waters. A copy of the inspection report is attached
to this letter.
If you have questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Parker
Environmental Senior Specialist

Reviewed project with DOT staff. Construction is underway on both end bents with both MSE walls almost
complete. Sediment and erosion control structures appear to be working properly. Seeding and/or matting
should be performed as needed. Rip rap has been placed at the base of both MSE walls.
Maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State surface
