Dear Mc Setzer:
On July 7, 2011, I inspected the construction work on Upward Road between US Highway 176 and Howard
Gap Road in Henderson County. Construction work is continuing all along Upward Road between Howard
Gap Road and US Highway 176.
Please ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are being maintained as required and that seeding
and mulching are being performed as needed, to protect State surface 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.

Additional comments:
(.Reviewed project with DOT staff and Blythe Development personnel. Construction is underway all along the
project.
2. At 72" pipejunction, install berm at top of slope to prevent water from washing silt into stream. Repair any
areas washing to silt fence.
3. Seed and mulch slope on west side of Bat Fork Creek when construction equipment has been moved.
4. The area located near the Marathon Station has been stabilized, new basin constructed and most of water
diverted to dry pond. The area looks good.
5. Continue to maintain all sediment and erosion control devices and seed, mulch and matt all disturbed areas
when needed to protect State surface waters.
