Comments
During the construction of the bridge Andrew Moore, an environmental specialist with the Asheville Regional Office (Water Quality Regional Operations Section NCDEQ — Division of Water
Resources), visited the construction site while the boulders for the berm were being placed. It was determined that to minimize any future erosion of creek banks into the creek it was best
to complete the rock berms and cover the creek banks with seed and straw mesh, which we did. Andrew also made suggestions for minimizing any potential run off, which we
implemented.
The bridge was completed with minimal impact to the creek and the creek banks are stable and protected. I have photos documenting the completion process and of the now completed
bridge if you'd like.
I appreciate your efforts to protect the waterways. I trust this bridge, and the precautions taken in building it, will meet with your approval.
Please call me at cell 612 385-3563 if you have any questions or need for clarification.
Best regards, Patrick Hennessey - owner and steward
