DWQ Project 09-0656
Cherokee County
Dear Mr. Setzer:
On March 10, 2009, I inspected the construction work at Bridge 15 on NCSR 1331 (Hanging Dog Road) in
Cherokee County. The project appears to be in relatively good shape but sediment should be removed from
behind the sediment fence on the southwest side of the project and the area seeded. 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

Additional comments:
Construction is almost complete except for final grading and paving.
Sediment had collected at silt fence on southwest side of bridge. The sediment should be removed and the areas
seeded.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required.
