1.0 BACKGROUND
Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG) Company requested ERM-Southeast, Inc. to
perform a wetlands delineation of a pipeline route proposed in Forsyth County,
North Carolina. Mr. James R. Orr, Senior Biologist with ERM-Southeast and Mr.
Richard Terrevechia, P.G., performed the wetlands evaluation. Mr. Orr has over
17 years consulting experience and has conducted over 100 wetlands delineations
since 1984. Mr. Terrevechia is a geologist with over 10 years experience in North
Carolina. Mr. Jim Adkins, representing PNG, assisted with the location of the
proposed pipeline, which extends approximately 8.57 miles from the Stokes
County he on the west side of Highway 52, to near the confluence of Mill Creek
and Leak Creek, south of Bethania Station (see Figures 1, 2 and 3).
The pipeline route is located on two USGS 7.5-minute series topographic maps
including Rural Hall and King, North Carolina. The topography of the region
includes rolling hills of the North Carolina Piedmont and flood plain. The pipeline
route as proposed will follow the Southern Railroad (for the lower 2.5 miles) and
then Highway 52 north to the Stokes County line. The pipeline right-of-way
includes a 40-foot wide area of temporary disturbance.
The pipeline route drains to a number of small water bodies including Mill Creek
and Muddy Creek. Parkers Creek and Beaver Dam Creek flow to Muddy Creek,
draining the northern portion of the pipeline area, while Grassy Creek and NO
Creek drain the southern one-third of the pipeline area. Other small ditches also
are crossed by the pipeline which flow toward either the Muddy Creek or Mill
Creek drainages. Copies of the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Maps included
correspond to the sections of the USGS quadrangle maps in Figures 1, 2 and 3,
and are provided in Figures 4, 5 and 6.
The NWI maps for each of the quadrangles mentioned above were reviewed. No
large areas of wetlands were depicted on these maps, with the exception of
Palustrine Shrub-Scrub wetland, which extends the length of the pipeline adjacent
Grassy and Mill Creeks.
Soil series are available from the Forsyth County, North Carolina Soil Survey.
Only two soils series were identified for the areas identified as potential wetlands
and stream crossings. The predominant series include Chewacla and Wehadkee.
The Wehadkee series is the only hydric soil type in the lowlands crossed by the
pipeline and is found only along one short section of Grassy Creek.
In the Grassy Creek and Mill Creek drainage, the pipeline route parallels these
water bodies. The pipeline also parallels a 30-foot wide sewer line easement. The
route runs perpendicular to the water bodies in the Muddy Creek drainage and also
crosses over a number of sewer line easements in that area. The Grassy and Mill
Creek drainages are also disturbed particularly in the lower one mile, by urban
development including a soccer complex and other developments. The
ERM-Southeast, Inc. 1-1 w:/png/6295kwet197.doc
construction of the sewer easement may have added to the occurrence of wetlands;
however, undisturbed areas indicate a mixture of wetland and upland features
which are affected by small seeps, flat topography, clayey soils, beaver and other
more subtle manmade disturbances such as clearing, channelization and
construction.
ERM-Southeast, Inc. 1-2 w:/png/6295/rwet197.doc
2 0 SITE VISIT
An on-site delineation was conducted by ERM-Southeast, Inc. on January 14 and
15, 1997 in accordance with the Corps of Engineers Manual for the Delineation of
Wetlands, 1987. The topography along the pipeline is generally flat in the
southern one-third and hilly in the northern two-thirds. Prior to conducting the
site visit, NWI maps were closely reviewed to identify the potential areas of
concern along the 8.57-mile pipeline route. Wetlands and stream crossings are
identified on Figures 7 through 10 along the pipeline route. Included in
Attachment I is Data Form 1 completed for each of the 10 wetlands and/or stream
crossings. Some of the stream crossings were determined to be intermittent
streams. Wetlands and stream crossings which were identified during the field
investigation are listed in Table 1. The wetland type as well as the estimated
length of wetland potentially effected by the pipeline is also given in Table 1.
A total of 25 individual areas were investigated by soil borings, plant identification
and physical observation with some of these areas comprising both streams and
adjoining wetlands. Of the 25 areas investigated, five streams were reviewed, all
of which were perennial. However, the second tributary south of Beaver Dam
Creek (at foot mark 23,380) also had perennial flow as indicated by the presence
of aquatic life. Twelve of the areas were identified as wetlands. The total length
of the wetlands potentially affected is 2,895 feet, which equals 2.68 acres of
temporary disturbance (40 feet wide).
The predominant vegetation cover type in the wetland areas varied from the
southern area to the northern area with deciduous broad leaf hardwoods to the
north and either shrub-scrub forest, or emergent vegetation to the south.
Specifically, Plantanus occidentalis and Betula nigra were the dominant hardwood
species observed in the wetland areas generally following the Chewacla soil series.
Common herbaceous species included Juncus effesus, with Alnus serrulata the
dominant shrub.
Photographs of the various areas are provided in Attachment H. The forms
include lists and the status of dominant plant species (generally low numbers of
taxa were observed). The soil series and other soil characteristics are also
reported, (e.g., mottling, matrix color, gleyziation, etc.), and wetland hydrologic
characteristics. The determination of wetland characteristics was based on the
criteria described in the Wetland Delineation Manual, 1987. These data verify the
findings of each area investigated.

CONCLUSION
Areas meeting two of the three wetland characteristics (hydrophytic vegetation,
hydric soils, and wetlands hydrology) were identified on field maps and estimates
of their length in the proposed right-of-way were recorded. The precise location
of the proposed right-of-way was not always available due to missing flags or
stakes. The sewer easement, which the route partially follows, was also not
always distinguishable. Therefore, the exact location of wetlands relative to the
proposed right-of-way is estimated based on the available landmarks and assistance
of the PNG representative. The survey indicated the probability that five perennial
streams and 10 wetland areas, of which three included one of the stream systems,
would be affected by the pipeline construction for a total of 2,895 linear feet of
wetland. The total area affected by the temporary disturbance of the 50-foot right-
of-way will be approximately 2.68 acres. A major potion of this wetland is
presently shrub-scrub or emergent vegetation. The pipeline easement is expected
to revert to this type of vegetation after construction, therefore, a negative impact
is not expected in these areas of the wetlands affected by the proposed route.
