of Transportation right-of ways.

9. Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas
Pender, and New Hanover Counties
Project Setting
The development of a natural gas pipeline and fiber optic line is proposed for eastern North Carolina in Pender
and New Hanover Counties as part (Phase IVA) of a larger project designed to provide natural gas and fiber optic
service to eastern North Carolina. The gas pipeline and the fiber optic conduit are proposed in the same alignment and
installation will occur simultaneously. The pipeline route is proposed inside the existing power line easements and
highway right of ways.
Maintained or previously disturbed lands(powerline easements and road right-of-ways)will be the majority of
the impacted area for this proposed project. The project area is entirely situated within the Cape Fear River Basin. The
pipeline will cross five surface waters: two unnamed tributaries to Turkey Creek, located in Pender County, two
sections of the Northeast Cape Fear River located on the Pender/New Hanover County line and Fishing Creek(see
chart in application package). All wetland crossings are of the Section 404 Type and are under the jurisdiction of the
Army Corps of Engineers and the Division of Water Quality.
The starting point of the proposed Phase IVA project begins in an existing Progress Energy powerline easement
located on SR 1517 east of Rocky Point Elementary School,just south of the intersection of NC 210 and Interstate 40.
The proposed pipeline runs south for 2.8 miles and then turns southwest and crosses US 117 while remaining within
the powerline easement. The proposed pipeline would head in a southwest direction for 7.7 miles and crosses the
Northeast Cape Fear River in two locations. The proposed gas pipeline would then turn southeast and follow the US
Highway 421 right-of-way for 4.4 miles. The proposed gas pipeline would then re-enter another Progress Energy
powerline easement near the Sutton Power Plant and continues within this easement for 0.8 miles until it would
terminate at the power plant.
Project Description
The project is funded by the State of North Carolina through the Clean Water and Natural Gas Critical Needs
Act of 1998. Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas(ENCNG)has been granted an exclusive franchise to provide natural
gas service to eastern North Carolina. The fiber optic line would provide telecommunications and network services
along the proposed route.Phase IVA consist of 15.7 miles of transmission line. The EasternNC Phase 4A and APEC
fiber optic project is located in the Coastal Plain physiographic province of North Carolina and within the Cape Fear
River Basin. Specifically, the project crosses a total of 5 waterbodies. Most of the installation is proposed in the
maintained Progress Energy power line easement. The installation is proposed along the edge of the maintained power
line corridor,or along dirt access roads inside existing easements. In areas where the pipeline would be installed in the
NCDOT right of way, the alignment would be five feet inside the right of way boundaries. EasternNC has the
flexibility to move around the NCDOT rights-of-way and,to a lesser extent,in the Progress Energy easements if it will
allow complete avoidance of jurisdictional wetlands and/or surface waters. The construction easement is 20 feet wide
along the proposed route.
The applicant proposes to Hydraulic Directional Drill (HDD) all wetland,river and stream crossings for all
streams wider than 20 feet. Some perennial streams less than 20 feet wide will be crossed using open cut trench
techniques if field conditions permit. These perennial streams that will be open-cut are canals or ditched streams that
appear to be maintained regularly. HDD will be used if there is flowing water in these intermittent streams and open-
cut techniques will be used if the intermittent channels are dry. However all streams under jurisdiction of the Division
of Coastal Management will be crossed using HDD. The pipeline will be a minimum of 15'below the stream or river
channel.

ti
Eastern NC Natural gas and APEC Fiber Optic

The pipeline will be trenched in upland areas with a minimum of 3' of soil coverage. Soil will be stored in
upland areas. As the pipe is lowered in place the trench will be backfilled to pre-construction contours and elevations.
The trench will be covered daily. A permanent ground cover will be applied weekly. All staging areas are proposed to
be located in upland areas requiring minimal disturbance.The Sedimentation and Erosion Control Plan is included in
Attachment E.
The applicant also proposes to construct appurtenant facilities such as,valve,metering and regulation stations.
Typically these stations will be constructed in 50'by 150' or smaller workspaces with permanent sites being 50'by 30'
or smaller. A number of these sites along Phase 4A and the APEC fiber optic route are being investigated. EastemNC
will locate these sites in upland areas and no wetland impacts are anticipated.
The distribution lines will consist of 2, 4 and 6-inch plastic pipe constructed primarily to serve existing
residential, commercial and industrial customers. Where possible, the distribution lines will be constructed along
existing streets and roads within existing areas of development. Should situations arise where the distribution lines
cannot be located to avoid environmentally sensitive areas,construction techniques such as HDD will be implemented
where feasible to avoid impacts.
Anticipated Impacts
Installation of the main transmission line(15.7 miles)would result in the temporary impacts/disturbance of:
Highground 1248989 sq ft
404 type wetlands 317988 sq ft(open trenching)
69696 sq ft horizontal directionally drilling
Open Water impacts 383.7 sq ft(potential open channel cuts)
20863 sq ft horizontal directionally drilling
TOTAL IMPACTS 1657920 sq ft
All entrance and exit points for the HDD and the resultant spoil material will be located outside designated
AECs.Because the project is proposed within maintained CP&L power line right of ways,impacts would be minimal.
The use of HDD would allow Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas to completely avoid direct impacts to AECs. Silt
fences are proposed around the entry and exit points for the HDD to contain spoil material.All disturbed high ground
areas will be graded and seeded weekly to minimize potential erosion.
Short-term impacts to"waters"would include minor turbidity. The turbidity would be minimized through the use
of silt fences and/or turbidity curtains.

Dear Sirs:
On 2 April 2003, we received your application for Department of the Army authorization
to temporarily impact approximately 7.3 acres of DA jurisdictional wetlands and approximately
40 linear feet of stream channels to facilitate the installation of 15.7 miles of natural gas
transmission line and fiber optic cable conduit within the Cape Fear and the Northeast Cape Fear
River Basins, in Pender and New Hanover Counties, North Carolina.
After review of your proposal, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the North
Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission have recommended revision of your application and
plans by a letters dated 2 June 2003 and 30 May 2003, respectively (copies enclosed). The Corps
also has the same concerns. These recommendations are due to anticipated adverse
environmental impacts.
Our administrative process provides you the opportunity to propose a resolution and/or
rebut any and all objections before a final decision is made. In this regard, I would appreciate
being made aware of your intentions, in writing, on or before 2 July 2003.

I am responsible for processing your application and available to assist you in coordinating
with the review agencies. If you have any questions you may call me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Jennifer S. Frye, Regulatory Specialist

Comments from NCWRC
Ms.Frye:
Environmental Services,Inc.,(ESI)has reviewed the comments from the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission dated 30 May 2003 and offers the following information.
Open-cut crossings are proposed for the two unnamed tributaries of Turkey Creek. ESI concurs
with NCWRC recommendations that these open cuts be made only during low stream flows and
should be accompanied with silt or turbidity curtains to control any suspended sediments.
ESI has completed the survey for rough-leaved loosestrife. The results of this survey have been
submitted to the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service. No
rough-leaved loosestrife was located in any of the several areas identified as potential habitat.
The one area identified as potential habitat for golden sedge and Cooley's meadowrue is located
adjacent to Highway 117 in Pender County. This area will not be disturbed by construction of the
pipeline. HDD will be used to bore under this area concurrently with the crossing under Highway
117.
This letter is also being provided to NCWRC and the N.C. Division of Coastal Management.
Please do not hesitate to call Josh Witherspoon or me if you have any questions. Thank you for
your assistance with this project.

FROM: Fritz Rohde 1
SUBJECT: Phase IV Pipline -Progress Energy and APEC
The following comments by the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (NCDMF)
on the subject permit are offered pursuant to G.S. 113-131.
The Division of Marine Fisheries has expressed serious reservations on similar proposals.
In this proposal, only streams greater than 20 feet in width will be crossed using Horizontal
Directional Drilling (HDD). Smaller streas will be crossed using open-cut techniques. The
NDMF opposes this strategy. Our data show that these systems can support anadromous fishes
(striped bass, American shad and river herrring), along with other species. All perennial streams
should be crossed by HDD.

Subject: Action ID No. 200300493, Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas, Phase 4A Pipeline and
APEC Fiber Optic Conduit
Dear Ms. Frye:
This letter provides the comments of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on the subject
Public Notice (PN), dated May 5, 2003. The applicant, Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas
(ENCNG), has applied for a Department of the Army (DA)permit to temporarily impact
approximately 7.3 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and approximately 40 linear feet(lf) of stream
channels. These comments are submitted in accordance with the Fish and Wildlife Coordination
Act(48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667d), and section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended(16 U.S.C. 1531-1543). It is to be used in your determination of
compliance with 404(b)(1) guidelines (40 CFR 230) and in your public interest review(33 CFR
320.4) as they relate to protection of fish and wildlife resources.
The PN states that the applicant proposes to construct a new natural gas transmission and
distribution system. Concurrent with installation of the gas pipeline, a fiber optic cable would be
installed for the Albemarle-Pamlico Economic Development Corporation(APEC). The current
project represents phase 4A of a multi-phase effort to supply natural gas to counties in eastern
North Carolina. Phase 4A would construct approximately 15.7 miles of pipeline within the Cape
Fear and Northeast Cape Fear River Basins. The project would occur in Pender and New
Hanover Counties. The PN states that pipeline would be located within existing Progress Energy
power line easements and within maintained rights-of-way of the North Carolina Department of
Transportation(NCDOT). The pipeline easement within these corridors is expected to be 20 feet
wide for the 12-inch diameter pipe.
The project would cross a total of five water bodies. Three perennial streams would be
directionally bored. Smaller streams would be crossed using open-cut techniques. The project
would also cross 24 separate wetland areas located within road rights-of-way and powerline

r
1
easements: Larger wetland areas would be directionally bored, and open trench methodologies
would be used for smaller wetland crossings.
Earlier this year,the Service reviewed the detailed Environmental Assessment(EA) for Phase
3A, north of the current proposal. The EA discussed many ways to avoid and minimize adverse
impacts to wetlands and aquatic habitat, including the use of horizontal directional drilling
(HDD) in environmentally sensitive areas. The EA also stated that after construction,wetlands
impacted by open-cut pipe installation would be returned to their pre-construction contours to the
extent practicable and the NCDOT rights-of-way and powerline easements would be stabilized
and re-vegetated with native wetland species. No permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands
would result from project construction. Areas for pipe storage and contractor staging would be
in uplands. Turbidity and sedimentation would be minimized by Best Management Practices and
strict adherence to an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan. Construction moratoria would be
implemented during certain periods to protect finfish as requested by the National Marine
Fisheries Service, North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries, and the North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission (p. 18). The Service recommends that these measures employed for
Phase 3A be required for Phase 4A.
Federally-listed Species
The Service has reviewed available information on federally threatened or endangered species
known to occur in Pender and New Hanover Counties. We have also reviewed information from
the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCHNP)database on the reported occurrence of
these species in the project area. Several of the federally protected species known to occur in the
project counties are associated with beach habitats which would not be impacted. However,
three plants protected by the ESA may occur in the project area. These are the golden sedge
(Carex lutea),rough-leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia), and Cooley's meadowrue
(Thalictrum cooleyi). All three are listed as endangered,indicating a danger of extinction
throughout all or a significant portion of their ranges. The PN notes that the applicant is
conducting species-specific surveys to determine potential impacts to these species.
The Service has reviewed a May 15, 2003, letter, to you from Environmental Services, Inc.
(ESI), of Raleigh,North Carolina, regarding surveys for rough-leaved loosestrife. The letter
states that nine areas that represented suitable habitat were identified and surveyed. These
surveys were completed on May 13, 2003, and no rough-leaved loosestrife was found. The letter
requests that a Biological Conclusion of not likely to adversely affect be included in the permit
application. Based on information in this letter, the Service concurs with this conclusion.
The ESI letter also states that one potential site, designated as Wetland 12 in project plans,was
identified as potential habitat for golden sedge and Cooley's meadowrue which can occur in the
same location. Plans were made to survey this site in June, the start of the prime survey window
for Cooley's meadowrue; however, the applicant is proposing to avoid impacts to this site(a
power line easement east of US 117)by drilling under the site. The ESI letter states that this
2

r
f
construction technique should result in a finding of not likely to adversely affect. If there is no
disturbance to the vegetation at the potential location of these two species, the Service concurs
that the project is not likely to adversely affect golden sedge and Cooley's meadowrue.
As the Service stated in our comments on Phase 3A,we believe that some protective measures
may be required for the federally endangered West Indian manatee(Trichechus manatus),
especially during the five-month period of June through October, if open-cut installation and/or
silt fences are used in waters that: (1) are over three feet deep; and, (2)have an unobstructed
connection via continuous water depths of over three feet to estuarine waters. The NCNHP
database indicates that manatees have been observed along the major rivers in the project area as
well as smaller coastal waterways. The primary habitat requirements for the species are access to
vascular aquatic plants, freshwater source, and proximity to channel 1-2 meters deep. Manatees
may move into a given project site where the species has never been reported previously.
Impacts to manatees cannot be based on negative visual surveys for the presence of the species in
the project area,but must be based on the presence of suitable habitat accessible to the species
which migrates along the coast during the warmer months of the year.
Manatees could be affected by either open-cut work through stream channels or entanglement in
erosion control and siltation fences placed in water deeper than three feet. The Service has
summarized protective measures for manatees for work in areas of potential manatee habitat. A
copy of these precautions,revised in June 2002, is enclosed. If the enclosed precautions are
included in project plans, the Service would concur with a not likely to adversely affect
determination. For Phase 3A, the applicant proposed to have a contractor inspect silt screens
daily. In water that could be used by manatee, these inspections may need to be more frequent
and specifically surveys for entangled manatees during the June through October period.
Waterways to be crossed by open-cut construction and accessible by manatees may be limited, or
nonexistent. However, if such areas do exist along the proposed alignment, manatee precautions
should be employed.
Data from the NCNHP indicate that the federally endangered shortnose sturgeon(Acipenser
brevirostrum)has been report in the two river basins of the proposed work. This species is under
the jurisdiction of the National Marine Fisheries Service(NMFS) and that agency will evaluate
potential impacts on the species.
Based on survey results and the implementation of construction techniques given in the May 15
letter to you, as well as the incorporation of the attached manatee precautions, the Service
believes that the proposed work is not likely to adversely affect any species protected by the
ESA. Therefore, the Corps' requirements under section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied at
this time. We remind you that obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if:
(1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or
critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in
a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat
determined that may be affected by the identified action.

t
Summary and Recommendations
The Service believes that if the same measures applied in Phase 3A for avoidance and
minimization of wetland impacts are used in the present phase,the project would comply with
the 404(b)(1) guidelines. If all impacts to streams and wetlands are temporary,no compensatory
mitigation would be required.
The Service appreciates the opportunity to comment on this PN. Please advise us of any action
taken by the Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers. If you have questions regarding these
comments,please contact Howard Hall at 919-856-4520 (Ext. 27) or by e-mail at
howard hall(a-;fws.gov for wetland and manatee issues or Dale Suiter(Ext. 18) or by email at

SUBJECT: CAMA/Dredge & Fill, 401, and 404 permit applications for EasternNC Phase IVA
Natural Gas Pipeline Project and APEC Fiber Optic Conduit, Pender and New
Hanover Counties,North Carolina.
The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has reviewed the project for impacts
to wildlife and fishery resources. Our comments are provided in accordance with provisions of
the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.), Section
401 of the Clean Water Act (as amended), and the Coastal Area Management Act (G.S. 113A-
100 through 113A-128).
The applicants propose to install 15.7 miles of natural gas and fiber optic lines along DOT
rights-of-way and Progress Energy power line easements in Pender and New Hanover Counties.
A total of 26 wetlands would be crossed by these lines, but as reported no net loss of wetland area
would occur. Wetlands having greater than 1 acre of impact or associated with streams would be
avoided by horizontal directional drilling (HDD). Wetland areas of impact less than 1 acre or
those that are isolated would receive open cut line installation with reintroduction of wetland soils
to original grade and vegetation.

EasternNC Gas& Optic Line 2 05/30/03
It is our understanding the project would involve 5 stream crossings;Northeast Cape Fear
River(2 crossings), Fishing Creek (1 crossing), and unnamed tributaries of Turkey Creek (2
crossings). The Northeast Cape Fear River and Fishing Creek are anadromous fish spawning
areas and would be avoided by HDD installation of lines. The open cut method of line installation
is to be used on the unnamed tributaries of Turkey Creek, but would avoid the February 15 to
June 30 peak spawning period of resident fishes.
Surveys and evaluations for listed species were done by Environmental Services, Inc. and
resulted in a finding that the project area has suitable habitat for the federally listed Cooley's
meadowrue, golden sedge, and rough-leaved loosestrife. Systematic surveys for these 3 plant
species will be performed during the appropriate season prior to project construction.
We appreciate the applicant's commitment to using HDD technology to the greatest
extent practicable as it alleviates many of our concerns regarding stream and wetland impacts.
We have some concern, however, that the open cut installations across the unnamed tributaries of
Turkey Creek may degrade more sensitive waters downstream. Consequently, we recommend
that these open cuts be made during low stream flows and be accompanied by the deployment of
silt or turbidity curtains to control suspended sediments. Also, should subsequent surveys detect
the presence of any of the 3 listed plant species, we recommend that the project route be altered
or the plants be effectively transplanted to an unoccupied site of suitable habitat.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment. If you have questions, please can me at (252)

SUBJECT: CAMA Land Use Plan Consistency Determination: Eastern North Carolina
Natural Gas— New Hanover County& Pender County
DATE: May 16, 2003
The applicant is proposing to install approximately 15.7 miles of natural gas pipelines and fiber
optic lines in Pender County and New Hanover County. Most of the project will occur within
existing power line easements and NC Department of Transportation (NCDOT) right-of-ways.
According to the Division's Field Investigation Report, work will occur in the following Areas of
Environmental Concern (AECs): Coastal Shorelines, Estuarine Waters and Public Trust Area.
This project has been reviewed for consistency with the Wilmington-New Hanover County CAMA
Land Use Plan Update & Comprehensive Plan, 1997-2010 (as amended) and the 1991 Pender
County Land Use Plan Update (as amended). This project appears to be consistent with
both Land Use Plans (LUPs)provided all local, state, and federal regulations are met. The
table below lists the five waterbodies that will be crossed along the transmission route, and
impacts associated with the crossings.

New Hanover County LUP
The land classification for the New Hanover County portion of this project is Conservation. The
purpose of the Conservation classification is to provide for effective long-term management and
protection of significant, limited or irreplaceable natural resources while also protecting the rights
of the property owner. Water-dependent uses, including (but not limited to) utility easements,
are allowed within this classification. The following LUP policies are applicable to this project:
Resource Protection—Natural Resource Constraints Policy 3.4: Ensure the protection of
coastal and federally regulated wetlands that have important functional significance
through early identification in the development process. Review of development
proposals should seek to achieve the hierarchical goals of avoidance, minimization
and/or compensation.

According to the permit application submitted by Environmental Services Inc., the proposed
alignment will avoid and minimize wetland impacts through collocation on existing powerline
easements and NCDOT road right-of-ways. Use of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) will avoid
wetlands impacts at the three crossings listed in the table.
Transportation - Environment Policy 4.1: Priority shall be given to environmental
concerns, in particular water quality and surface water management, when considering
the construction and maintenance of transportation facilities. Reasonable and feasible
road construction and design alternatives to protect water quality should be considered
for all projects. Impacts to the two unnamed tributaries of Turkey Creek will be temporary. As
such, this project appears to be consistent with the LUP.
Pender County LUP
The land classifications for the Pender County portion of this project are Conservation (AECs),
Rural (utility easements) and Limited Transition (highway corridors). The purpose of the
Conservation classification is to provide for the effective long-term management and protection
of significant, limited or irreplaceable areas. The purpose of the Limited Transition classification
is to provide for development in areas that will have some services, but are suitable for lower
densities and may be geographically remote from existing towns and municipalities. The
purpose of the Rural classification is to provide for agriculture, forestry, mineral extraction and
other allied uses traditionally associated with an agrarian region. The Pender County LUP
states: Resource Protection -Areas of Environmental Concern and Appropriate Land
Uses in AECs-Pender County will permit those land uses which conform to the general
use standards of the North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 7H). As such, this
project appears to be consistent with the LUP.

Dear Sirs:
Please reference your request for the Department of the Army(DA) authorization to
temporarily impact approximately 7.3 acres of Section 404 jurisdictional wetlands and
approximately 40 linear feet of stream channels to facilitate the installation of 15.7 miles of
natural gas transmission line and fiber optic cable conduit within the Cape Fear and Northeast
Cape Fear River Basins, in Pender and New Hanover Counties,North Carolina.
On February 6, 1990, the Department of the Army(DA) and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency(EPA) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) establishing procedures to
determine the type and level of mitigation necessary to comply with Clean Water Act Section
404(b)(1) Guidelines. This MOA provides for first, avoiding impacts to waters and wetlands
through the selection of the least damaging, practical alternative; second, taking appropriate and
practical steps to reduce impacts on waters and wetlands; and finally, compensation for
remaining unavoidable impacts to the extent appropriate and practical. To enable us to process
your application, in compliance with the MOA, we request that you provide the following
additional information:
a. Permits for work within wetlands or other special aquatic sites are available only if the
proposed work is the least environmentally damaging,practicable alternative. Please furnish
information regarding any other alternatives, including upland alternatives, to the work for which
you have applied and provide justification that your selected plan is the least damaging to water
or wetland areas.

-2-
b. It is necessary for you to have taken all appropriate and practicable steps to minimize wetland
losses. Please indicate all that you have done, especially regarding development and modification of
plans and proposed construction techniques, to minimize adverse impacts.
c. The MOA requires that appropriate and practicable mitigation will be required for all
unavoidable adverse impacts remaining after all appropriate and practicable minimization has
been employed. Please indicate your plan to mitigate for the projected, unavoidable loss of
waters or wetlands or provide information as to the absence of any such appropriate and
practicable measures.
The aforementioned, requested information is essential to the expeditious processing of your
application and should be forwarded to us within two (2) weeks of your receipt of this letter.
Also, you should be aware that State and Federal commenting agencies may recommend design
modifications.

Wilmington District, Corps of Engineers
Post Office Box 1890 W,0FC0A$TALMAN 2*NT
Wilmington,North Carolina 28402-1890 MLEw
ACTION ID: 200300493 May 5, 2003
PUBLIC NOTICE
Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas (ENCNG), a Division of Progress Energy,
c/o Mr. John M. Monaghan,Post Office Box 1551-PEB 18, Raleigh,North Carolina 27602, and
the Albemarle-Pamlico Economic Development Corporation (APEC), c/o W. John Whalen,
5234 Greens Dairy Road, Raleigh,NC 27616, have applied for a Department of the Army(DA)
individual permit TO TEMPORARILY IMPACT APPROXIMATELY 7.3 ACRES OF DA
JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS AND APPROXIMATELY 40 LINEAR FEET OF STREAM
CHANNELS TO FACILITATE THE INSTALLATION OF 15.7 MILES OF NATURAL GAS
TRANSMISSION LINE AND FIBER OPTIC CABLE CONDUIT WITHIN THE CAPE FEAR
AND THE NORTHEAST CAPE FEAR RIVER BASINS,IN NORTH CAROLINA. The
proposed project is located within existing Progress Energy powerline easements and within
maintained North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) right-of-ways in Pender and
New Hanover Counties.
This project represents Phase 4A of a multiphased project that began in 2001. Previous
Phases (Phases 1, 2 and 7)were authorized under the authority of Nationwide Permit 12.
Authorized wetland impacts for those phases total 2.63 acres, of which 1.43 acres resulted in a
change in plant community(forest to herbaceous) and compensatory mitigation was required and
completed. Phase IIIA is presently being reviewed through the individual permit process.
Proposed impacts for Phase IRA include temporary impacts to approximately 22.7 acres of
wetland and 540 linear feet of stream channels.
The following description of this project is taken from data provided by the applicant and
from observations made during onsite inspections by representatives of the Corps of Engineers.
ENCNG proposes to install an additional 15.7 miles of natural gas transmission line utilizing
horizontal directional drilling(HDD) and excavated trench methodologies. The Phase 4A
project will begin in an existing Progress Energy powerline easement located on SR 1517,just
south of NC Highway 210 and Interstate 40 intersection in Pender County and will terminate at
the Sutton Power Plant west of US Highway 421, in New Hanover County. The transmission
system will consist of 12-inch diameter pipe. The gas line is being installed primarily to serve
residential,commercial and industrial customers. APEC will install the fiber optic conduit
concurrently with the natural gas pipeline construction. The construction corridor is
approximately 20 feet wide.

The project crosses a total of 5 waterbodies. Three perennial streams will be directionally
bored. Smaller streams will be crossed using open-cut techniques.
The project will cross 24 separate wetland areas located within NCDOT right-of-ways
and Progress Energy powerline easements. Wetland types to be crossed include Coastal Plain
small stream swamp,cypress-gum swamp, Coastal Plain bottomland hardwood forest and
successional shrub/scrub and herbaceous wetlands. Larger wetland areas will be directionally
bored. Open trench methodology will be utilized in smaller wetland crossings.
The applicant proposes to utilize HDD methods to avoid impacts to Areas of
Environmental Concern as designated by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management.
Forested wetlands will not be impacted by this project. Conversion of wetland community types
is not proposed. The applicant also agrees to avoid or minimize impacts to streams containing
anadromous fish spawning and rearing habitat. The applicant does not propose compensatory
mitigation for this project.
Plans showing the work are included with this public notice. The plans and additional
information provided by the applicant detailing avoidance and minimization efforts can also be
reviewed at the Wilmington Regulatory Field Office,U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
Wilmington District, 69 Darlington Avenue,Wilmington,North Carolina 28403.
This proposal shall be reviewed for the applicability of other actions by North Carolina
agencies such as:
a. The issuance of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean
Water Act by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality(NCDWQ).
b. The issuance of a permit to dredge and/or fill under North Carolina General
Statute 113-229 by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management (NCDCM).
c. The issuance of a permit under the North Carolina Coastal Area Management
Act (CAMA)by the North Carolina Division of Coastal Management(NCDCM) or their
delegates.
d. The issuance of an easement to fill or otherwise occupy State-Owned
submerged land under North Carolina General Statute 143-341(4), 146-6, 146-11, and 146-12 by
the North Carolina Department of Administration(NCDA) and the North Carolina Council of
State.
e. The approval of an Erosion and Sedimentation control Plan by the Land
Quality Section,North Carolina Division of Land Resources (NCDLR),pursuant to the State
Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of 1973 (NC G.S. 113 a-50-66).

a
The State of North Carolina will review this public notice to determine the need for the
applicant to obtain any required State authorization. No Department of the Army(DA)permit
will be issued until the coordinated State viewpoint on the proposal has been received and
reviewed by this agency, nor will a DA permit be issued until the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality (NCDWQ)has determined the applicability of a Water Quality Certificate as
required by PL 92-500.
This application is being considered pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water
Act(33 U.S.C. 1344)and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Any person may
request,in writing within the comment period specified in the notice, that a public hearing be
held to consider this application. Requests for public hearing shall state, with particularity, the
reasons for holding a public hearing.
The District Engineer has consulted the latest published version of the National Register
of Historic Places for the presence or absence of registered properties, or properties listed as
being eligible for inclusion therein, and this site is not registered property or property listed as
being eligible for inclusion in the Register. Consultation of the National Register constitutes the
extent of cultural resource investigations by the District Engineer, and he is otherwise unaware of
the presence of such resources. Presently, unknown archeological, scientific, prehistoric, or
historical data may be lost or destroyed by work under the requested permit.
Based upon available information, the proposed activity will be constructed in an area
where potential habitat exists for Cooley's meadowrue (Thalicturm cooleyi), golden sedge
(Carex lutea), and rough-leaved loosestrife (Lysimachia asperulaefolia). These species are
federally listed as endangered or threatened pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
Presently the applicant is conducting species-specific surveys to determine potential impact to
those species.
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the probable
impacts, including cumulative impacts, of the proposed activity and its intended use on the public
interest. Evaluation of the probable impacts which the proposed activity may have on the public
interest requires a careful weighing of all those factors which become relevant in each particular
case. The benefits which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be
balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. The decision whether to authorize a
proposal, and if so the conditions under which it will be allowed to occur, are therefore
determined by the outcome of the general balancing process. That decision should reflect the
national concern for both protection and utilization of important resources. All factors which
may be relevant to the proposal must be considered including the cumulative effects thereof.
Among those are conservation,economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands,
cultural values, fish and wildlife values, flood hazards and flood plain values (in accordance with
Executive Order 11988), land use, navigation, shore erosion and accretion, recreation, water
supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, mineral
needs,considerations of property ownership, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people.
For activities involving the placement of dredged or fill materials in waters of the United States,
a permit will be denied if the discharge that would be authorized by such permit would not
3

comply with the Environmental Protection Agencies'404(b)(1) guidelines. Subject to the
preceding sentence and any other applicable guidelines or criteria, a permit will be granted unless
the District Engineer determines that it would be contrary to the public interest.
The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public;Federal, State and local
agencies and officials; Indian Tribes and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate
the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of
Engineers to determine whether to issue,modify, condition or deny a permit for this proposal. To
make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic
properties, water quality, general environmental effects and the other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment(EA) and/or an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine
the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
Generally, the decision whether to issue this Department of the Army (DA) permit will
not be made until the North Carolina Division of Water Quality(NCDWQ)issues, denies, or
waives State certification required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. The NCDWQ
considers whether or not the proposed activity will comply with Sections 301, 302, 306, and 307
of the Clean Water Act. The application and this public notice for the Department of the Army
(DA)permit serves as application to the NCDWQ for certification.
Additional information regarding the Clean Water Act certification may be reviewed at
the offices of the Wetlands/401 Unit,NCDWQ, 2321 Crabtree Boulevard,Raleigh,North
Carolina 27604=2260. Copies of such materials will be furnished to any person requesting
copies upon payment of reproduction cost.
Written comments pertinent to the proposed work,as outlined above, will be
received in the Corps of Engineers,Wilmington District,Wilmington Regulatory Field
Office,Attn: Ms.Jennifer Frye,Post Office Box 1890,Wilmington,North Carolina, 28402-
1890,until 4:15 p.m.,June 5,2003, Question can be directed to Ms.Frye at telephone (910)

RE: Report:An Intensive Cultural Resource Investigation:Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas
Phase I VA, Pender and New Hanover Counties, North Carolina.
(ER 02-10163)
Dear Mr. Seibel:
We have received the archaeological survey report for the above project from
Environmental Services Inc. and would like to comment.
Although the prehistoric background appears to be fairly well researched, the historical
background fails to address the history specifically pertaining to the area through which the
proposed pipeline will pass.
Survey Area 1 passes through a former colonial plantation called Cowpens. Survey Area 2
passes through the former Rose Hill and Point Pleasant Plantations. Survey Area 3 passes
through the former Swann Point and The Oak Plantations. Prominent colonists who
individually played important roles in the history of North Carolina developed all of these
plantations, and in some cases, made them their primary residences.
Undocumented Civil War earthworks are located very near the area where the proposed
pipeline will cross NC 117 and turn northward toward Rocky Point. This fortification
became significant following the Confederate evacuation of Wilmington as the Confederates
attempted to stall the advancement of the Union army across the Northeast Cape Fear River
at Castle Hayne. Cornwallis's army also utilized this area as it marched northward from
Wilmington to Virginia.
In consideration of previous research it was noted that the 1977-78 New Hanover County
Archaeological Survey (bib# 632) was not referenced. This survey located 7 prehistoric sites
in very close proximity to the proposed pipeline in Survey Area 2. No mention was made of

Historical research pertinent to the project area should be undertaken and included in the
Historical Background section of the report. All pertinent previous research should be
discussed in the Previous Research section of the report. Considering the historical
background and previous research, the scope of work should be reassessed and additional
fieldwork performed on the high ground areas east of Survey Area 3. A pedestrian survey
should be utilized in areas where ground visibility permits in conjunction with shovel tests.
Previously recorded sites adjacent to the proposed pipeline should be relocated and assessed
to determine if the pipeline or construction activity associated with its installation will
adversely impact these sites. The results of these assessments should be included in the
report.
If cultural material is found in areas that are considered disturbed, an explanation of the
criteria used to make this assessment should be included in the report.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for
Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the
above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at
919/733-4763. In all future communication concerning this project,please cite the above-
referenced tracking number.

Dear Mr. Witherspoon:
The Division of Coastal Management hereby acknowledges receipt of your application for State approval
for development of a natural gas pipeline and fiber optic line for eastern North Carolina located in Pender, Onslow
and Duplin Counties. It was received as complete on April 24, 2003, and appears to be adequate for processing at
this time. The projected deadline for making a decision is July 8, 2003. An additional 75-day review period is
provided by law when such time is necessary to complete the review. If you have not been notified of a final action
by the initial deadline stated above,you should consider the review period extended. Under those circumstances,
this letter will serve as your notice of an extended review. However, an additional letter will be provided on or
about the 75th day.
NCGS 113A-119(b)requires that Notice of an application be posted at the location of the proposed
development. Enclosed you will find a "Notice of Permit Filing"postcard which must be posted at the property of
your proposed development. You should post this notice at a conspicuous point along your property where it can

the road right-of-way fronting your property; or at a point along the road right-of-way where a private road would
lead one into your property. Failure to post this notice could result in an incomplete application.
A field report has been prepared and is in the process of being circulated to the various state and federal
review agencies for their comments. If additional information is required based on this review,the agencies may
contact you directly.
