TIP No. R-24086
Macon County
Dear Mr. Setzer:
On July 14, 2011, I inspected the construction work on NC Highway 28 in Macon County. Construction
continues along most of the project with grading and pipe installation underway.
Please 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,

Work underway on the project includes grading and pipe work.
All areas that have been graded and no construction has taken place in [he last 14 days should be seeded and
mulched. Seeding needs [o keep pace with the construction. Seeding was taking place a[ [he time of inspection.
The area around the stream culvert that has been installed should be seeded and matted.
The new stream channel that has been excavated should be stabilized to prevent sediment from flowing down
the channel into the stream.
All erosion control devices should be checked for proper operation.
Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding, matting and mulching as required to
protect State surface waters.
