TIP No. R-4748
Macon County
Dear Mr. Setzer:
On August 16, 2011, I inspected the construction work for the new route of NCSR 1660 (Siler Road) in Macon
County. Construction includes heavy grading and bridge site preparation. Sediment and erosion control
structures appear to be working properly.
Please ensure that all sediment and erosion control structures are maintained and that seeding and mulching are
performed as needed to protect State surface waters. A copy of the inspection report is attached to this letter.
If you have questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely, /7
Xz?

Additional comments:
Work is underway on the project and includes heavy grading and pouring the drilled shafts in preparation for
bridge construction.

Continue to maintain erosion control devices and continue with seeding, matting and mulching as required to
protect State surface waters.
