Kristi Lynn,
I think this should work. Let me know if you need anything else.

Folks,
We have had an erosion problem at our construction office off Henry Bird Road in Jackson County that we have now
stabilized somewhat (as of yesterday) with mulch, plastic, and a slope drain. This is not a construction project. Rather,
as I understand it, there is a culvert under the road near the base of the erosion that is buried on the outlet end (see
culvert location pdf). Some maintenance folks tried to open the outlet awhile back with some minor excavation because
water was backing up on the other side of the road. Then recent heavy rains blew out part of a fill slope that is next to
the stream.
Anyway, I wanted you to be aware of this problem and that we are working on it. We have since stemmed, at least for
now, the erosion and will ultimately probably be looking at doing a culvert replacement after getting a permit (the
location is <0.5 mile from Tuckaseegee River).
