Dear Mr. Setzer:

Dee Freeman
Secretary
On July 7, 2011, I inspected the construction work on US Highway 25 between Interstate 26 and NC Highway
225 in Henderson County. Roadway paving and shoulder work are taking place along the entire length of the
project.
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,
~~~~~
