Additional comments:
Reviewed project with NCDOT staff. Contractor had just started work since shutting down for the winter.
Work was starting on the east side end bent.
All sediment and erosion control measures appeared to be operating properly.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding and matting as required to protect State
surface waters.
