Dear Mr. Setzer:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On June 3, 2010, I inspected the construction work on US Highway 25 between Interstate 26 and NC Highway
225 in Henderson County. Major grading and paving are underway along the entire length of the project.
Review of the sediment and erosion control program found that additional attention is needed on these
structures. Please ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and
mulching are 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,
;7//?

Additional comments:
Reviewed project with DOT staff and Wright Brothers. Heavy construction is underway on the south end of the
project. Some paving has taken place and approximately 25% of the project has been paved.
Heavy rains continue to impact project. Some sediment and erosion control structures were in need of cleaning.
Rip rap should be added at end of pipe at Y-4.
Seeding and/or matting should be performed as areas are graded.
It is imperative that all erosion control devices be maintained. Please continue with seeding and matting as
required to protect State surface waters.
