Dear Mr. Setzer.

Dee Freeman
Secretary
On February 9, 2011, I inspected the bridge construction work on NCSR 1331 (Hanging Dog Road) in
Cherokee County. It appears that most of the bridge has been completed; however, no work was taking place
at the time of inspection.
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. 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.
