Gangle (Dominion Energy) Attachments: ® Response Materials and Appendices • Check for Reimbursement of Public Hearing Advertisements (arrival separately attention to Ms. Karen Higgins) PA Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification Atlantic Coast Pipeline Response to NCDEQ Reguest for Additional Information: dated June 27, 2017 July 12, 2017 The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) indicated in a "Request for Additional Information and Notice of Public Hearings", dated June 27, 2017 that on May 8, 2017, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC (Atlantic) application requesting an Individual Water Quality Certification/Buffer Authorization for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline Project (ACP or Project). The Division stated that the response to the request for information is necessary to process the Atlantic Coast Pipeline application [15A NCAC 02H .0502(c), 15A NCAC 0213.0233 (8) and .0259 (8)]. Atlantic has reviewed the NCDEQ request for information and is providing the following responses and attached information according to the NCDEQ request. Each of the requests for information, as numbered in the NCDEQ request, are provided below, followed by Atlantic's response in italics: 1. Right -of -Way Configuration (p 13-14) - Explain the permanent right-of-way (ROW) maintenance proposed within riparian buffers subject to the Neuse and Tar -Pamlico Riparian Buffer Rules [15A NCAC 0213 .0233 & .0259]. If the permanent ROW maintenance proposed for wetlands is not also planned for protected riparian buffers, then mitigation would be required for the impact to these buffers. A table summarizing the different ROW widths and maintenance methods to be employed for each habitat, resource and river basin would be helpful. Response: Atlantic is not proposing to use wetland maintenance measures for riparian buffers. Atlantic proposed mitigation for buffer impacts in the Water Quality Certification/Buffer Authorization. The Table I below describes the maintenance type for areas both within and outside of the Tar -Pamlico and Neuse watersheds. Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 Table I Maintenance Corridors within the Permanent Easement and Vegetation Maintenance Corridors for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline In North Carolina Area within Permanent Easement — Watershed (50oot 30.foot centered over pipeline 10 eet centered over i eline Outside of the wetland Selective hand clearing of Where feasible, mowing over Within Neuse/Tar-Pamlico- maintenance corridor deep rooted vegetation (trees); the pipeline to maintain Wetland allowed to revegetate shrubs and herbaceous herbaceous vegetation naturally vegetation allowed to grow.

N/A N/A Where feasible, mowing over the pipeline to maintain herbaceous vegetation N/A 2. Waterbody Crossings (p. 17) - Clarify whether temporary crossings will remain in-place after the initial ROW clearing until construction and restoration are complete, and p r o v i d e an estimate of the length of time these structures will be in-place. Provide a description of the type and number of construction equipment that will be allowed onepass through waterbodies before bridges are installed. Response: Where waterbodies will be crossed with a temporary crossing, Atlantic will leave the temporary crossing (i.e., bridge, rock flume, etc.) in place until construction activities associated with final seeding and stabilization occurs. Atlantic anticipates that this will take no longer than 12 months total, from placement of the temporary crossing to removal. All temporary bridges will be removed and waterbodies restored to preconstruction contours after the final seeding and stabilization activities are complete. Equipment that will utilize the one pass through waterbodies will typically include track excavators and bulldozers as well as backhoes that will be utilized for placement of the temporary crossings ahead of or at the time of right-of-way tree clearing activities. The types and sizes of equipment will vary based on the size of the waterbody crossing, however the equipment listed above will be the primary piece of equipment utilized to install bridges that will use the one -pass at perennial waterbodies. 3. Open -Cut Method (p. 18) - Provide an explanation of and details showing how turbidity curtains or other sediment barriers will be installed where the open -cut method will be utilized to cross stream and wetland complexes. Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 Response: Wetlands selected for open -cut crossings are periodically inundated, and have little or no discernable flow through them under normal conditions. Atlantic has determined that the use of an open -cut crossing method is most appropriate for these situations in order to expedite the crossings and minimize impacts to the floodplain ecosystems. Construction and maintenance specifications outlined in North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual VII 6.62 (Silt Fence) and applicable turbidity curtain installation guidance based on manufacturer's recommended installation and use. In the event of conflicting specifications between agency guidance and manufacturer specifications, the manufacturer's recommendations on proper installation and use of a product will be followed. The primary silt fence product planned for use on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a patented belted silt retention fence (BSRF) product. In wetlands and waterbodies, the Priority I (green band) BSRF will be used, which is a heavy-duty silt fence material constructed with a 36 -inch, non -woven, spun -bond fabric with an internal scrim incorporated into the fabric for additional strength and durability. The system utilizes wood stakes spaced at 4 feet intervals and a specific method of attachment. The system is functionally equivalent to wire back and metal steel post silt fence and is designed for the protection of high priority areas, including wetlands and waterbodies. In addition, in North Carolina, according to discussions with NCDEQ, coir logs and/or compost filter socks may also be used along the construction workspace within wetlands. Proper installation and daily inspection and maintenance of the BSRF, and other erosion control devices (ECDs) in accordance with installation locations depicted in the site-specific construction alignment sheets prior to and during trenching operations, stockpiling of saturated trench material, lowering -in or floating the pipeline into the trench, and during backfilling of the trench should adequately contain trench spoils and turbidity within the confines of the construction right-of-way. In these and other areas where the depth of inundated water exceeds 2 feet, or generally where the water depth is too great to be adequately contained by pyramiding coir logs or compost filter socks at initial installation or if, during construction, water levels are expected to rise above a 2 -foot depth because of an unpredicted storm event, Type 2 turbidity curtains should be installed. Based on analysis of similar wetland/swamp complexes in Virginia, where broad flow occurs across a lowland system, peak flow velocities in those cases of]. 6feet per second or less were expected. Similar low rates of flow are expected at crossings in North Carolina where open -cut crossings are proposed. These low flow rates are not expected to affect the ability of the turbidity curtain to function as designed. Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 If sections of these wetlands contain waters deeper than 2 feet, or generally where the water depth is too great to be adequately contained by pyramiding coir logs or compost filter socks at initial installation, turbidity curtains would be deployed in place of, or in addition to, silt fence or other ECDs. In selecting and installing turbidity curtains, Atlantic will adhere to the construction and maintenance specifications outlined in the North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual or manufacturer specifications, and the type of curtain should be selected based on the anticipated flow conditions. The ends of the curtain should extend to the edge of the inundated areas containing, or expected to contain the greater water depths present when the curtains are used to allow sediments to resettle in areas with limited flow. BSRF or other ECDs may be required at the ends of the curtains to direct suspended sediment into shallower, low flow areas. Throughout the construction process, Atlantic will also follow the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures to avoid or minimize impacts on water quality. Environmental Inspectors will perform routine inspections of all temporary erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with Atlantic's approved stormwater pollution prevention plan, FERC requirements, and associated regulations, where applicable. 4. Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) Method (p. 22) - Clarify whether equipment will be allowed to cross waterbodies that will be crossed by HDD. Also, provide an estimate of the amount of water that will be withdrawn from each waterbody to be crossed by this method and the anticipated pumping rate. Response: No mechanized equipment will be allowed to cross waterbodies where the HDD method is employed. Water will be withdrawn from the Tar River and Contentnea Creek for HDD operations and hydrotesting of drill segments. Withdrawal volumes and rate estimates are presented in Table 2, below. Table 2. Estimated Water Withdrawal and Pump Rates from Surface Waters at HDD Crossings for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in North Carolina Estimated Water Estimated Water Withdrawal from Withdrawal from Waterbodies for Estimated Waterbodies for HDD Hydrotesting of Drill Pump Rate Drill Mud Segment (gallons per RID Feature ID Flow Regime Feature Name Milepost (gallons) (gallons) minute) AP -2 snao011 Perennial Tar River 59.4 1,205,000 76,000 500 AP -2 swic002 Perennial Contentnea Creek 73.6 1,055,000 67,000 500 5. Wetlands (p. 25) -Clarify that filter fabric will be placed beneath riprap in wetlands areas to facilitate restoration. Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 Response: Atlantic does not propose the use of riprap in wetlands. 6. Construction Minimization (p. 79) - Clarify that refueling will be conducted at least 100 feet from waterbodies and wetlands means that refueling will be conducted at least 100 feet from the water's edge of these features. Response: Atlantic will restrict refueling activities within 100 feet of the water's edge of waterbodies and 100 feet from the edge of wetlands. However, the FERC Procedures allows refueling within 100 feet of waterbodies and wetlands "...only if the Environmental Inspector determines that there is no reasonable alternative, and the project sponsor and its contractors have taken appropriate steps (including secondary containments structures) to prevent spills and provide for prompt cleanup in the event of a spill. " In addition, some activities such as operating pumps for dry crossings may require refueling within 100 feet of these features. In those instances, refueling would occur within secondary containment structures and fuel would not be stored within 100 feet of the feature. 7. Cumulative Impacts (p. 86-91) -The Division has several questions about secondary impacts that may occur due to construction of the ACP: a. Are there existing distribution facilities to serve the major utilities that are currently subscribed pursuant to precedent agreements? Response: Yes, there are existing distribution facilities owned by Piedmont Natural Gas (Piedmont), a local distribution company that is subscribed pursuant to a precedent agreement, at each of the proposed M&R Stations. Piedmont also operates the primary distribution network through which currently -subscribed customer, Duke Energy, is provided service (see response to Question 7.c. below). b. Are there existing distribution facilities at each of the nine metering and regulating stations proposed in North Carolina? Response: While there are nine metering and regulation (M&R) stations proposed for the entire ACP Project, only three are located in North Carolina. There are existing distribution facilities owned by Piedmont Natural Gas at each of these M&R Stations. While Piedmont currently operates an existing distribution network, they have proposed several modifications or upgrades to their facilities at various locations in response to the new supplies from ACP. A 26 -mile, 30 -inch diameter distribution pipeline in Robeson, Scotland, and Richmond Counties, North Carolina is also proposed by Piedmont. Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 c. What percentage or volume of new transportation capacity will be used for conversion of coal-fired plants to natural-gas versus the amount for new facilities? Response: The intended uses of the gas delivered to each of the three delivery points in North Carolina are summarized in Table 3, below. Atlantic does not have specific details regarding conversion of coal-fired plants to natural gas versus the amount for new facilities as ACP is a transmission pipeline that provide gas to customers that then utilize the natural gas according to their operational needs. Duke Energy will utilize ACP transportation service to meet portions of its existing and future power generation facilities, and information available to Atlantic regarding the facilities that will utilize the gas are summarized further in the text below. Table 3. Intended Use of Natural Gas from the Atlantic Coast Pipeline to Each Delivery Point in North Carolina Delivery Interconnect Delivery Intended Use Point Customer Volume (dekathenWday Smithfield Piedmont Natural Gas 985,000 PowerGen -74% M&R LDCs — 26% Fayetteville Piedmont Natural Gas 150,000 Power Gen —100% M&R Pembroke Piedmont Natural Gas 885,000 Power Gen — 82% M&R LDCs —18% LDC — Local Distribution Company With respect to existing facilities, the ACP transportation service, through interconnects with Piedmont Natural Gas, will provide an essential and needed additional fuel source for the following existing Duke Energy Progress (DEP) and Duke Energy Carolinas (DEC) facilities: • DEP HE Lee Energy Complex, located in Goldsboro, NC totaling approximately 1, 047 Megawatts (MW)/910 MW (winter/summer) (combined cycle) • DEP Wayne County Station, located in Goldsboro, NC totaling approximately 959 MW/ 863 MW (winter/summer) (5 combustion turbines) • DEP Sutton Energy Complex, located in Wilmington, NC totaling approximately 717 MWI622 MW (winter/summer) (combined cycle) • DEP Smith Energy Complex, located in Hamlet, NC totaling approximately 1,227 MW/1, 088 MW (winter/summer) (combined cycle) and approximately 916 MW1780 MW (winter/summer) (5 combustion turbines) • DEC Buck Station located in Rowan County, NC totaling approximately 732 MW / 690 MW (winter/summer) (combined cycle) Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 Also, DEP will complete an approximately 100 MW/84 MW (winter/summer) Sutton fast start/black start combustion turbine (CT) in 2017 that will be able to utilize the transportation service from ACP. With respect to proposed power generation facilities, DEP and DEC each prepare a planning document called the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which is provided by each utility to both the North Carolina Utilities Commission and the Public Service Commission of South Carolina. These planning documents detail the generation needed for each utility to meet the forecasted electricity requirements for its customers over the next 15 years. The 2016 IRP's are the most recent projection of how each utility's energy portfolio will look over the next 15 years, based on current assumptions. The 2016IRPs identify the need for additional natural gas resources that are economic, highly efficient, and reliable. The planning documents outline the following information relative to new natural gas resources. The locations of these proposed facilities have not been finalized. However, both DEC and DEP are evaluating siting locations that would provide access to ACP. Quantities of natural gas delivered by ACP would be available as a potential fuel source for these needed new gas powered electric generation assets. DEC: New natural gas combined cycle approximately 750MW that will be placed into service in the second half of 2017 in Anderson County, South Carolina. Plan for a DEC 1,221 MW/1,123 MW (winter/summer) natural gas combined cycle in 2023. • Plan for DEC 468 MW/435 MW (winter/summer) of CT resources in 2025. DEP: • New approximately 560MW natural gas combined cycle that will be placed into service in late 2019 in Asheville, NC. • Plan for a 1,221 MW/1,123 MW (winter/summer) natural gas combined cycle in 2022. • Plan for a potential 186 MW/161 MW (winter/summer) CT in late 2023. • Plan for 468 MW/435 MW (winter/summer) of CT capacity in 2023. • Plan for 468 MW/435 MW (winter/summer) of CT capacity in 2026. • Plan for 468 MW/435 MW (winter/summer) of CT capacity in each year from 2028 to 2030. • Plan for 936 MW/870 MW (winter/summer) of CT capacity in 2031. With the existing facilities and the proposed gas generation growth in North Carolina, the transportation service from ACP is critical to the growing gas generation needs of DEP and DEC. Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 8. Explain how in -stream blasting and blasting within 50 feet of a waterbody will be accomplished, including those crossings that are proposed to be installed using the open -cut method. Response: Blasting in -stream and blasting within 50 feet of waterbodies will only be used when traditional means of open -cut or wet trench crossing methods failed or are deemed impractical due to constraints imposed by stream crossing time limits. If required, blasting will primarily occur at dry crossings, after the work area has been isolated from stream flow. If blasting is necessary in a flowing waterbody, the use of controlled blasting techniques, where small, localized detonations are utilized, will avoid or minimize the impacts of blasting and limit rock fracture to the immediate vicinity of these activities. Immediately following blasting, Atlantic and DTI will remove shot rock that impedes stream flow. Blasting techniques will be in compliance with Federal, State, and local regulations governing the use of explosives and in accordance with the Blasting Plan and the Plan and Procedures (Blasting Plan attached as Appendix A). Throughout the construction process, Atlantic and DTI will follow the Procedures to avoid or minimize impacts on water quality. Construction activities will be scheduled so that the trench is not excavated across the waterbody until immediately prior to pipe laying activities. The duration of in -stream construction activities (excluding blasting, if required) will be limited to 24 hours across minor waterbodies (those 10 feet in width or less) and 48 hours across intermediate waterbodies (those between 10 and 100 feet in w idth). 9. Sediment and erosion control designs for project areas within waters orwatersheds designated as PNA, SA, WS -1, WI -II, HQW, ORW must comply with the requirements set forth in 15A NCAC 048 .0124 - Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds. Response: Atlantic did not identify any individual waters or watersheds with the above designations within the limits of disturbance. 10. Although a discrete channel is not present, add named streams (e.g., Starlins, Mingo, Black River etc.) that occur within wetland complexes to the Waterbody Crossing Table for reference. Response: Atlantic has revised Appendix C-1 Wetland and Waterbody Crossings for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District. Revised cells are shaded gray. The revised table is included in Appendix B. 11. There are several waterbodies that are proposed to be crossed by the open -cut method that are less than 20 feet in width and do not have adjacent wetlands that appear to be Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 inundated. These should be changed to a dry method or provide an explanation as to why this is not practical for each waterbody that meets these criteria. Response: Atlantic evaluated 33 crossings proposed as open -cut crossings that are less than 20 feet in width. Many of these waterbodies are either small waterbodies contained within a larger wetland or very narrow waterbodies that can be crossed more quickly and with less spatial impact via open -cut than they can with a dry crossing method Table 4, below, provides responses for each of the 33 locations reviewed.

Figure A-4, Page 48 - Stream dkwc_nc_004 is missing from the Waterbody Crossing Table. Please verify that all impacts shown on the Aerial Sheets are included within the Waterbody Crossing Table. Response: Atlantic reviewed the materials submitted to the NCDEQ on May 8, 2017. dkwgnc004 is located on page C-13 of the Waterbody Crossing Table, as part of Single and Complete Crossing NC AP -2 186. A revised version of this table is included as Appendix B. 13. Figure A-4, Page 35 - NC spiny crayfish were observed in Stony Creek. Explain why Stony Creek was changed from a dry method to open cut. Response: Stony Creek (snah0l S) at MP 48.8 is a waterbody within a wetland. Atlantic proposes an open cut in order to minimize impact to the waterbody. An open cut crossing at this location will be completed more quickly and with less disturbance than a dam and pump type crossing. Since this waterbody is within a wetland, Atlantic will reduce the temporary workspace to 75 feet per the FERC guidelines. 14. Figure A-4, Page 93 - Stream scmc005 is proposed to be crossed using the open -cut method. This should be changed to a dry method or provide an explanation as to why this is not practical at this location. Response: Waterbody scmc005 is 3 ft wide. This stream is essentially a drainage feature within agricultural fields. A dry crossing is not practical as this small stream can be crossed more quickly, thereby minimizing impact, using the open cut method. 15. Alignment Avoidance and Minimization. a. Figure A-4, Page 16 -Three wetland crossings (whlh032s, whlh032f, and whlh031f) will impact a total of 4.98 acres. Shifting the alignment southeast would minimize the amount of wetland impacted. This alignment should be adjusted or provide an explanation as to why this is not practical in this location. Response: Based on the data available from within Atlantic's 300 -foot -wide survey corridor, wetlands wh1h032s, wh1h032f, and whlh03lf are continuous to the survey boundary. Therefore, the pipeline alignment cannot be adjusted within the survey corridor to avoid or minimize impacts on these wetlands. Additionally, based on review of desktop data, including digital aerial photography, the wetlands appear to extend beyond the survey corridor further to the southeast. As a result, a significant route variation, potentially affecting additional property owners, would be required to avoid or minimize impacts on the wetlands. Any significant route variation would extend outside the project survey corridor. If a route variation extends outside the survey corridor there is a potential that additional sensitive resources, such as cultural sites or protected species, could be located or affected by such a route 11 Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 variation. Moreover, there are other constraints in the area, including a cluster of residences located just southeast of the current route, which limit the options for routing the pipeline around the wetlands. For these reasons, a route variation in this area is not practical. b. Figure A-4, Page 20 -One wetland crossing (whlh014f) will impact 3.24 acres. Shifting the alignment southeast would minimize the amount of wetland impacted. This alignment should be adjusted or provide an explanation as to why this is not practical in this location. Response: Based on the data available from within Atlantic's 300 -foot -wide survey corridor, wetland whlh014f is continuous to the survey boundary. Therefore, the pipeline alignment cannot be adjusted within the survey corridor to avoid or minimize impacts on this wetland? Additionally, based on review of desktop data, including digital aerial photography, the wetland appears to extend beyond the survey corridor further to the southeast along Burnt Coat Swamp. As a result, a significant route variation, potentially affecting additional property owners, would be required to avoid or minimize impacts on the wetland? Any significant route variation would extend outside the project survey corridor. If a route variation extends outside the survey corridor there is a potential that additional sensitive resources, such as cultural sites or protected species, could be located or affected by such a route variation. Moreover, there are other constraints in the area, including residences located southeast of the current route along Bryant Road, which limit the options for routing the pipeline around the wetland. Also, a shift further to the southeast would place the route near the confluence of Breeches Swamp, Jacket Swamp, and Burnt Coat Swamp, and would likely involve greater wetland crossings. Atlantic balanced avoidance of nearby residences and avoided larger wetland areas by placing the route along the proposed alignment. For these reasons, a route variation in this area is not practical. c. Figure A-4, Page 41- Stream snah022 runs parallel to the alignment and is crossed twice. Shifting the alignment northwest within the study corridor will a v o i d these two stream crossings. This alignment should be adjusted or provide an explanation as to why this is not practical in this location. Response: This waterbody crossing is part of a large wetland/waterbody complex associated with an extensive inundated wetland system along Sapony Creek. Waterbody snah022 is a side channel (drainage pattern) within the larger lowland wetland swamp that does not differ significantly from the wetland surrounding the waterbody. Both the wetland and waterbody are proposed as an open cut given the inundated conditions at this location. Moving the route northwest would cross similar inundated wetland areas and likely lengthen the route slightly, which would increase overall wetland impacts. For this reason, a route variation in this area would not materially reduce impacts on the wetland/waterbody complex. d. Figure A-4, Page 51- The alignment crosses three streams (swio010, swio011 & swio012) just above their confluence. Shifting the alignment east within the study corridor will avoid two of the proposed stream crossings. This 12 Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification July 12, 2017 alignment should be adjusted or provide an explanation as to why this is not practical in this location. Response: Atlantic has reviewed this crossing and has determined that, although wetlands impacts would increase, the route could be shifted to the east within the survey corridor to reduce the number of stream crossings. Atlantic will seek authorization from FERC to shift the route alignment in this area to accommodate the request. e. Figure A-4, Page 85 - The alignment runs along Beaverdam Swamp and crosses from the east side to the west side four times. Stream and wetland impacts could be minimized by reducing the number of crossings. This alignment should be adjusted or provide an explanation as to why this is not practical in this location. Response: While the route crosses Beaverdam Swamp multiple times the route is positioned as it enters the area from the north to thread through an area of relatively dense development along Plain View Highway (U.S. Highway 421), including a large church and many residences, which requires the first crossing of the swamp. The second crossing is necessary to avoid impacts to a pond on the south side of Beaverdam Swamp, while also avoiding running the route parallel along the waterbody in the bottom of Beaverdam Swamp and remain in uplands where feasible. Further to the south and west the crossing back to the south is necessary to avoid an agricultural production facility (numerous large buildings), while again crossing at an angle to avoid the length of wetland crossing and minimize paralleling Beaverdam Swamp. The final crossing of Beaverdam Swamp is necessary as the swamp trends to the south and the route must continue to trend westerly to maintain the orientation of the route toward the Fayetteville M&R Station delivery point. For these reasons, it is not practical to adjust the route to avoid or minimize the crossings of Beaverdam Swamp. f. Figure A-4, Page 111- The Additional Temporary Workspace (ATWS) at wetland area wcmo022f appears to be avoidable by shifting the ATWS east or west of the wetland. The ATWS should be relocated or provide an explanation as to why this alterative is not practical. Response: This segment of the proposed route is adjacent to an electric transmission line, which will minimize impacts along the alignment, including impacts associated with forest fragmentation. The ATWS within wetland wcmo022f is necessary for the proposed horizontal directional drill (HDD) of the Cape Fear River. This ATWS is the "drill box" where the HDD drilling equipment will be set up. The HDD has been designed with the necessary radius of curvature to minimize the overall distance of the HDD under the river while maintaining necessary distance below the bottom of the river. The design criteria and collocation of the drill next to the existing transmission line corridor determines the location of the drill box. Moving the ATWSJnrther back would change the engineering design, lengthen the HDD, and also place the drill equipment closer to the residence on the west side of the river. The need to avoid towers along the existing transmission line is another constraint. 13 Atlantic Coast Pipeline North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Response to Information Request for 401 Water Quality Certification For these reasons, it is not practical to relocate the ATWS to avoid wetland wcmo022f July 12, 2017 g. Figure A-4, Page 87 - Starlins Swamp, Mingo Swamp and Black River are crossed at the confluence of these floodplain wetlands (wsao006f, wcmo0lls & wco01If) impacting a total of 24.25 acres. Shifting the alignment north- northwest would significantly reduce the amount of wetland area impacted by avoiding Starlins Swamp and minimizing the impacts to Mingo Swamp and Black River. This alignment should be adjusted or provide an explanation as to why this is not practical in this location. Response: The route in the area of Starlins Swamp, Mingo Swamp, and Black River is based on avoidance of existing residential buildings and avoidance of impacts to a turkey farming operation on the north side of the lowland crossing. By moving the route as suggested the turkey farming operation would be impacted In addition, to facilitate successful crossing of Interstate 95, the route needs to cross the swamp complex, and by remaining where the route is, the crossing of Interstate 95 can occur outside of the swamp complex and avoid additional impacts due to HDD operations. 16.

GPS global positioning system PPV peak particle velocity Project Atlantic Coast Pipeline SHP Supply Header Project ii Blasting Plan 1.0 INTRODUCTION Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC (Atlantic) — a company formed by four major energy companies - Dominion Resources, Inc.; Duke Energy Corporation; Piedmont Natural Gas Co., Inc.; and AGL Resources, Inc. — proposes to construct and operate approximately 600 miles of natural gas transmission pipelines and associated aboveground facilities in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. This Project, referred to as the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP), will deliver up to 1.5 million dekatherms per day of natural gas from supply areas in the Appalachian region to demand areas in Virginia and North Carolina. Atlantic has contracted with Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI), a subsidiary of Dominion Resources, Inc., to construct and operate the ACP on behalf of Atlantic. In conjunction with the ACP, DTI proposes to construct and operate approximately 37.5 miles of pipeline loop and modify existing compression facilities in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. This Project, referred to as the Supply Header Project (SHP), will enable DTI to provide firm transportation service to various customers, including Atlantic. 2.0 PURPOSE Based on an analysis of the Natural Resource Conservation Service's Soil Survey Geographic Database, approximately 26 percent (155.8 miles) of the proposed ACP and SHP pipeline routes will cross areas with bedrock at depths of less than 60 inches. More than half (81.7 miles) of this bedrock are considered paralithic (soft) and may not require blasting during construction. The remaining areas will cross soils with a lithic contact (hard bedrock) within 60 inches of the surface that may require blasting or other special construction techniques during installation of the proposed pipelines. This Blasting Plan outlines the procedures and safety measures that Atlantic's and DTI's construction contractors (referred to as the Contractor below) will adhere to while conducting blasting activities required for the construction of the ACP and SHP. Before blasting, a site- specific Blasting Specification Plan, which is consistent with the provisions in this Blasting Plan, will be submitted by the Contractor to Atlantic or DTI for approval. Approval of a site-specific Blasting Specification Plan does not relieve the Contractor from responsibility or liability. 3.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Blasting for grade or trench excavation will be used where deemed necessary by the Contractor, and approved by an Atlantic or DTI representative, after examination of the site. To the extent practical on USFS lands, rock trenching will be accomplished using mechanical means such as rippers, rock hammers, John Henry drills, etc. Blasting operations will be conducted by or under the direct and constant supervision of personnel legally licensed and certified to perform such activity in the jurisdiction where blasting occurs. Prior to any blasting activities, the Contractor will provide Atlantic or DTI with appropriate information documenting the experience, licenses, and permits associated with blasting personnel. Blasting Plan Blasting -related operations will comply with applicable Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local regulations, permit conditions, and the construction contract. These operations include: obtaining, transporting, storing, handling, loading, detonating, and disposing of blasting material; drilling; and ground -motion monitoring. 4.0 PRE -BLASTING REQUIREMENTS Prior to the initiation of blasting operations, the Contractor will comply with the following: • The Contractor will obtain all required Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local permits relating to the transportation, storage, handling, loading, and detonation of explosives. • The Contractor will be responsible for the protection of existing underground facilities. • Before performing any work on, or accessing the construction right-of-way, the Contractor will verify with an Atlantic or DTI representative that all property owners have been notified of the upcoming construction activities. The Contractor will notify all such parties at least 48 hours prior to blasting. • The Contractor will submit to Atlantic or DTI its site-specific Blasting Specification Plan for approval prior to the execution of blasting activity. 5.0 SITE-SPECIFIC BLASTING PLANS For each area determined to require blasting, a site-specific Blasting Specification Plan will be prepared by the Contractor. This plan will include, at a minimum, the following information: • blaster's name, company, copy of license, and statement of qualifications; • seismograph company, names, equipment and sensor location; • site location (milepost and stationing), applicable alignment sheet numbers, and associated rock type and geological structure (solid, layered, or fractured); • copies of all required Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local permits; • methods and materials, including explosive type, product name and size, weight per unit, and density; stemming material; tamping method; blasting sequence; use of non -electrical initiation systems for all blasting operations; and magazine type and locations for storage of explosives and detonating caps; • site dimensions, including explosive depth, distribution, and maximum charge and weight per delay; and hole depth, diameter, pattern, and number of holes per delay; • Global positioning system (GPS) coordinates of blasting location(s), distance and orientation to nearest aboveground and underground structures, and dates and hours blasting will be conducted; W Blasting Plan • blasting procedures for: o storing, handling, transporting, loading, and firing explosives; o prevention of misfires, fly -rock, fire prevention, noise, and stray current accidental -detonation; o signs, flagmen, and warning signals prior to each blast; o locations where the pipeline route: ■ parallels or crosses an electrical transmission corridor, cable, or pipeline; ■ parallels or crosses a highway or road; ■ approaches within 500 feet of a water well or within 150 feet of an oil and gas well; or ■ approaches within 1,000 feet of any residence, building, or occupied structure; o local notification; o inspections after each blast; o disposal of waste blasting material; and o blasting on steep slopes. 6.0 MONITORING During blasting operations, the Contractor will be required to monitor operations in the following manner: • The Contractor will provide seismographic equipment to measure the peak particle velocity (PPV) of all blasts in the vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal directions. • The Contractor will measure the PPV at any existing pipelines, domestic structures, water supply wells, oil and gas wells, electrical transmission tower footings, and other utilities within 150 feet of the blasting. If none of these structures/facilities are present, the Contractor will measure the PPV at the edge of the construction right-of-way. • The Contractor will complete a Blasting Log Record immediately after each blast and submit a copy to an Atlantic or DTI representative upon completion of blasting activities at each blasting site. 7.0 SAFETY 7.1 Protection of Aboveground and Underground Structures Where blasting is determined to be required, Atlantic and DTI will identify any municipal water mains proposed for crossing, and will consult the local water authority. Reports of 3 Blasting Plan identified crossings will include location by milepost, owner, and status and results of contacts with the water authority. The Contractor will exercise control to prevent damage to aboveground and underground structures including pipelines, domestic structures, water supply wells, oil and gas wells, electrical transmission tower footings, measures to minimize blasting impacts on steep slopes, and other utilities. The Contractor will implement the following procedures: • If blasting occurs within 500 feet of an identified water well, water flow performance and water quality testing will be conducted before blasting. If the water well is damaged, the well will be repaired or otherwise restored or the well owner will be compensated for confirmed damages. Atlantic and DTI will provide an alternative potable water supply to the landowner until repairs occur. • If blasting occurs within 150 feet of any aboveground structures, the Contractor and an Atlantic or DTI representative will inspect and photograph the structures before blasting. In the event that blasting damage to the aboveground structure is confirmed, the owner will be compensated. • The Contractor will be responsible for the ultimate resolution of all damage claims resulting from blasting. Such liability is not restricted by the 150 -foot inspection requirement cited above. • Blasting will not be allowed within 15 feet of an existing pipeline, unless specifically authorized by an Atlantic or DTI representative. • Holes that have contained explosive material will not be re -drilled. Holes will not be drilled where danger exists of intersecting another hole containing explosive material. • Blasting mats or padding will be used on all shots where necessary to prevent scattering of loose rock onto adjacent property and to prevent damage to nearby structures and overhead utilities. • Blasting will not begin until occupants of nearby buildings, stores, residences, places of business, places of public gathering, and farmers have been notified by the Contractor in advance to protect personnel, property, and livestock. The Contractor will notify all such parties at least 48 hours prior to blasting. • Blasting in or near environmentally sensitive areas, such as streams and wildlife areas, may include additional restrictions. When blasting in streams, the following additional measures may be implemented, in consultation with the appropriate agencies, to avoid or minimize impacts on fisheries, aquatic resources, and habitats: o Prior to the initiation of the designed blast and following audible warning signals, a single cap will be initiated in the stream to alert fish to move away from blasting area. o Removing fish from blasting area and relocating them downstream, this will only be used in smaller streams. M Blasting Plan o In larger streams a boat can be used both up and down stream to alert fish to move away from blasting area. This tactic can be used only if the operators of the boat can retreat a safe distance from the blast zone as determined by the Blaster in Charge. When blasting on steep slopes the following measures will be taken to minimize blasting impacts. o A safety berm may be created at the base of each shot to minimize the shot material movement down the slope after initiation if practical. o A catch berm may be created at the base of the hill to stop material from leaving the right -of way, if practical. o Berms may be constructed on the right-of-way to direct any rolling material away for the offside boundaries. o Shots will be initiated from the lowest elevation of the trench. o The blaster will conduct test blasts on areas without slope with a reduction of powder factor that will fracture the material while keeping it in place. Tight digging and higher vibrations may be associated with this adjustment. o Decking the holes may be considered to lower the pounds per delay. o Where multiple trench shots are to be initiated, the shot material will stay in place and remain muck bound. This will hold the following shots in place. All blasting will be subject to the following limitations: o Maximum PPV of 12.0 inches per second, or the maximum PPV in accordance with State/Commonwealth or local regulations, in any of three mutually perpendicular axes measured at the lesser distance of the nearest facility or the edge of the permanent easement. o Maximum drill size will be 2.5 inches unless otherwise approved by an Atlantic or DTI representative. o Maximum quantity of explosive per delay will be governed by the recorded measurements as influenced by the test blast program or a scaled distance formula. o Explosive agents and ignition methods will be approved by an Atlantic or DTI representative. Ammonium nitrate/fuel oil and other free flowing explosives and blasting agents are not acceptable and will not be used. o Drill holes will not be left loaded overnight. o Approved stemming material will be used in all holes. The drilling pattern will be set in a manner to achieve smaller rock fragmentation (maximum 1 foot in diameter) to use as much as possible of the blasted rock as backfill material after the pipe has been padded in accordance with the Blasting Plan specifications. The Contractor will submit the proposed drilling pattern to an Atlantic or DTI representative for approval. Under pipeline crossings and all other areas where drilling and blasting is required within 15 feet of existing facilities: o Drill holes will be reduced to a maximum of 2 inches or less in diameter. o The number of holes shot at one time will be limited to three unless otherwise approved by an Atlantic or DTI representative. o Appropriate delay between charges will be used to attain desired fragmentation. 7.2 Protection of Personnel The Contractor will include in its procedures all Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local safety requirements for blasting. The Contractor's procedures will address, at a minimum, the following requirements: • Blasting will be performed during daylight hours only. • Only authorized, qualified, and experienced personnel will handle explosives. • No explosive materials will be located where they may be exposed to flame, excessive heat, sparks, or impact. Smoking, firearms, matches, open flames, and heat- and spark -producing devices will be prohibited in or near explosive magazines or while explosives are being handled, transported, or used. • A code of blasting signals will be established, posted in conspicuous places, and utilized during blasting operations. Employee training will be conducted on the use and implementation of the code. • The Contractor will use every reasonable precaution including, but not limited to, visual and audible warning signals, warning signs, flag persons, and barricades to ensure personnel safety. • Warning signs, with lettering a minimum of 4 inches in height on a contrasting background, will be erected and maintained at all approaches to the blast area. • Flaggers will be stationed on all roadways passing within 1,000 feet of the blast area to stop all traffic during blasting operations. • Both workers involved in the detonation and personnel not involved in the detonation will stand back at a distances determined by the person in charge from the time the blast signal is given until the "ALL CLEAR" is sounded. • No loaded holes will be left unattended or unprotected. No explosives or blasting agent will be abandoned. • In the case of a misfire, the blaster will provide proper safeguards for personnel until the misfire has been re -blasted or safely removed. M Blasting Plan The exposed areas of the blast will be matted wherever practicable. In cases where such a procedure is not deemed to be feasible, the Contractor will submit an alternative procedure for review by an Atlantic or DTI representative and the site in question will be visited and examined by the consultant before any approval is granted. Atlantic and DTI may employ two-way radios for communication between vehicles and office facilities. The Contractor will advise Atlantic or DTI and other pipeline contractors of any need to cease use of such equipment during blasting activities. All loading and blasting activity will cease and personnel in and around the blast area will retreat to a position of safety during the approach and progress of an electrical storm irrespective of the type of explosives or initiation system used. This is a major safety precaution and will always be observed. All explosive materials, all electrical initiation systems, and all non -electric initiation systems are susceptible to premature initiation by lightning. Previous blast areas must be inspected to verify the absence of misfires. No drilling may commence until such inspection occurs. If a misfire occurs adjacent to a hole to be drilled, the misfire will be cleared by the blaster using reasonable techniques required for the situation prior to commencement of drilling. If a misfire occurs at some distance from the drilling area, drilling may be stopped while clearing preparations are underway. When the misfire is to be cleared by re -shooting, drilling will be shut down and personnel evacuated to a place of safety prior to detonation. All transportation of explosives will be in accordance with applicable Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local laws and regulations. Vehicles used to transport explosives will be in good working condition and equipped with tight wooden or non -sparking metal floor and sides. If explosives are carried in an open -bodied truck, they will be covered with a waterproof and flame -resistant tarp. Wiring will be fully insulated to prevent short-circuiting and at least two fire extinguishers will be carried. The vehicle will be plainly marked to identify its cargo so that the public may be adequately warned. Metal, flammable, or corrosive substances will not be transported in the same vehicle with explosives. There will be no smoking, and unauthorized or unnecessary personnel will not be allowed in the vehicle. Competent, qualified personnel will load and unload explosives into or from the vehicle. No sparking metal tools will be used to open kegs or wooden cases of explosives. Metallic slitters will be used to open fiberboard cases, provided the metallic slitter does not come in contact with the metallic fasteners of the case. There will be no smoking, no matches, no open lights, or other fire or flame nearby while handling or using explosives. Explosives will not be placed where they are subject to flame, excessive heat, sparks, or impact. Partial cases or packages of explosives will be re -closed after use. No explosives will be carried in the pockets or clothing of personnel. The wires of an electric blasting cap will not be tampered with in any way. Wires will not be uncoiled. The use of electric blasting caps 7 Blasting Plan will not be permitted during dust storms or near any other source of large charges of static electricity. Uncoiling of the wires or use of electric caps will not be permitted near radio-frequency transmitters. The firing circuit will be completely insulated from the ground or other conductors. No blast will be fired without a positive signal from the person in charge. This person will have made certain that all surplus explosives are in a safe place; all persons, vehicles, and/or boats are at a safe distance; and adequate warning has been given. Adequate warning of a blast will consist of, but not be limited to, the following: o notifying nearby homeowners and local agencies, if necessary; o stopping vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic near the blast site; and o signaling with an air horn, whistle, or similar device using standard warning signals. Only authorized and necessary personnel will be present where explosives are being handled or used. The condition of the hole will be checked with a wooden tamping pole prior to loading. Surplus explosives will not be stacked near working areas during loading. Detonating fans will be cut from spool before loading the balance of charge into the hole. No explosives will be forced into a bore hole past an obstruction. Loading will be done by a blaster holding a valid license or by personnel under his direct supervision. Fly -rock leaving the right-of-way will be collected immediately and disposed of at disposal sites approved by Atlantic or DTI. This work will not be left to the cleanup crew. 7.3 Lightning Hazard A risk of accidental detonation caused by lightning strikes exists at any time the workplace is experiencing an electrical storm and there are loaded holes on site. If this hazard is judged to exist by an Atlantic or DTI representative, work will discontinue at all operations and workers will be moved to secure positions away from the loaded holes. Furthermore, workers will not return to the work site until the storm has passed and an Atlantic or DTI representative has indicated it is clear to return. The Contractor will have on site an approved lightning instrument capable of measuring the degree of electrical activity as a storm approaches, and the distance to the storm front from the instrument on the right-of-way. 8.0 KARST In accordance with Atlantic's and DTI's Karst Monitoring and Mitigation Plan, and in addition to the measures described above, the following procedures will be implemented in areas of karst terrain: Blasting Plan • Blasting will be conducted in a manner that will not compromise the structural integrity or alter the karst hydrology of known or presumed habitat for federally listed threatened and endangered species in the subterranean karst environment (e.g. Madison cave isopod). • Excavations will be inspected for voids, openings or other tell-tale signs of solution (karst) activity. • If rock removal intercepts an open void, channel, or cave, construction activities will cease in the vicinity of the void, channel, or cave until a remedial assessment is performed by a qualified geologist or engineer with experience in karst terrain. • Use of explosives will be limited to low -force charges designed to transfer the explosive force only to the rock which is designated for removal (e.g., maximum charge of 2 inches per second ground acceleration). • If the track drill used to prepare drill holes for explosive charges encounters a subsurface void larger than 6 inches within the first 10 feet of bedrock, or a group of voids totaling more than 6 inches within the first 10 feet of bedrock, then explosives will not be used until a subsurface exploration is conducted to determine if the voids have connectivity to a deeper karst structure. The subsurface exploration will be carried out with track drill probes, coring drill, electrical resistivity, or other techniques capable of resolving open voids in the underlying bedrock. If a track drill or coring rig is used, then all open holes will be grouted shut after the completion of the investigation. 9.0 STORAGE REQUIREMENTS All explosives, blasting agents, and initiation devices will be stored in locked magazines that have been located, constructed, approved, and licensed in accordance with Federal, State/Commonwealth, and local regulations. Magazines will be dry, well ventilated, reasonably cool (painting of the exterior with a reflective color), bullet and fire resistant, and kept clean and in good condition. Initiation devices will not be stored in the same box, container, or magazine with other explosives. Explosives, blasting agents, or initiation devices will not be stored in wet or damp areas; near oil, gasoline, or cleaning solvents; or near sources of heat radiators, steam pipes, stoves, etc. No metal or metal tools will be stored in the magazine. There will be no smoking, matches, open lights, or other fire or flame inside or within 50 feet of storage magazines or explosive materials. Magazines will be constructed and located in accordance with Federal, State/ Commonwealth, and local regulations. Magazines will be marked in minimum 3 -inch -high letters with the words "DANGER — EXPLOSIVES" prominently displayed on all sides and roof, and be kept locked at all times unless explosives are being delivered or removed by authorized personnel. Admittance will be restricted to the magazine keeper, blasting supervisor, or licensed blaster. I Blasting Plan Accurate and current records will be kept of the explosive material inventory to ensure that oldest stocks are utilized first, satisfy regulatory requirements, and for immediate notification of any loss or theft. Magazine records will reflect the quantity of explosions removed, the amount returned, and the net quantity used at the blasting site.
