Natural Gas, at multiple waterbody crossings in six eastern N.C. counties DATE: December 8, 2004 Attached is a permit modification request from Mrs. Sheila Hughes with EasternNC Natural Gas requesting to revise CAMA Major Permit #51-0 authorizing the construction of a gas pipeline in Beaufort, Craven, Jones, Pamlico, and Pitt Counties. The permit is scheduled to set to expire on December 31, 2006. In Pamlico County, EasternNC is authorized to install a 6-inch gas transmission pipeline within the DOT right-of-way. EasternNC proposes to re-route a 2.5 mile portion of the 6-inch gas transmission line beginning on the East side of Hwy 306 and following the existing powerline right-of-way. No direct impacts to wetlands or streams are expected due to the use of HDD in marked wetland areas and at stream crossings. I have confirmed with Scott Jones of the USACE and Tom Steffens of the NCDWQ that their agencies have no objections to the proposed re-route. No AECs are involved in the area of the proposed re-route. The attached plats reflect the proposed realignment of the gas line. Based on my review, it appears that the project remains consistent with the pertinent regulations of the Division. Therefore, I have no objections to the proposal with a reference to the attached plats if all existing conditions remain valid unless modified herein.

The section we are proposing to re-route is located east of Point Road (SR 306), and runs for approximately 2.5 miles. EasternNC would like permission to install our 6-inch pipeline within existing powerline right-of-way instead of DOT right-of-way as originally applied for and permitted. Our environmental consultant, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI), used GPS technology to gather all wetland and stream data points and flagged them in June of 2004. EasternNC is intending to utilize HDD to install pipe within the marked wetland areas, and also to cross any streams. Therefore, no direct impacts will occur to any stream or wetland. A map showing the exact location of the proposed pipeline route is attached for your information. Additionally, aerial maps that identify exact locations of wetlands and/or streams are provided. Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please don't hesitate to call me at (919) 235-6014 or email at Sheila.Hughesapiedmontng com. Mr. Scott Jones with the USACE and Mr. Tom Steffens with DWQ will also receive a modification letter concerning this area. Thank you in advance for your support and assistance in processing the requested change to our Phase IIIA DCM Major Permit(#51-03). Sheila J.

Easley, Governor Donna D. Moffitt, Director William G. Ross Jr., Secretary MEMORANDUM: ED TO: DOUG HUGGETT JUL U P lIi!!U3 FROM: TRACEY WHEELE>—�A at 090FOW Ems?' THROUGH: TED TYNDALL SUBJECT: MINOR MODIFICATION—CAMA MAJOR PERMIT# 51-03 DATE: June 26, 2003 Please find enclosed a request from Ms. Shelia Hughes, Environmental Coordinator for Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas requesting a modification to CAMA Major Permit # 51-03 to allow for the extension of the permitted pipeline to service the Pamlico Correctional Institute and Pamlico Middle School near Bayboro in Pamlico County,North Carolina. This permit was originally issued on April 11, 2003 and was amended on May 12, 2003. The permit was issued for the installation of 94.5 miles of natural gas and fiber optics line in Beaufort, Craven, Pamlico, Jones, and Onslow counties. The applicant proposes to extend the pipeline approximately 0.5 miles north of NC Highway 55 along the east side of NCSR 1002, to provide service to the Pamlico Correctional Institution, and to extend it 0.7 miles south of Bayboro on NC 55 to provide service to Pamlico County Middle School. The applicant states that Eastern NC Natural Gas is planning to use directional boring in any areas where the pipeline would cross wetland areas and where it would cross the North Prong and South Prong of the Bay River. After thorough review of the request I have determined that this proposal is consistent with 15A NCAC Subchapter 07H.0206, .0207, .0208, and .0209. Therefore, I recommend the Minor Modification be authorized and that all original conditions of the issued permit remain in effect. The applicant has submitted the $100 modification fee. cc: Ted Tyndall, DCM 151-B Hwy. 24, Hestron Plaza II, Morehead City, North Carolina 28557 Phone: 252-808-28081 FAX: 252-247-33301 Internet: http://dcm2.enr.state.nc.us An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer—50%Recycled 110%Post Consumer Paper Eastern Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas June 24, 2003 Ms. Tracey Wheeler Field Representative NC Division of Coastal Management �� 2 6 2003 Morehead City Office 151-B Hwy 24, Hestron Plaza H Morehead City, NC 28557 RE: Phase IIIA Modification Request—Bayboro Lateral extension (Pamlico County) Dear Ms. Wheeler, EasternNC is proposing to modify its original Phase IIIA CAMA permit by extending natural gas service to two state institutions. The first is the Pamlico Correctional Institution, which is located approximately 0.5 mile north of Highway 55, just off of Bay City Road (SR 1002). EasternNC would like permission to install our 4-inch distribution pipeline on the east side of Bay City Road to align with existing DOT right-of-way. The second is the Pamlico County Middle School, located on Highway 55 south of Bayboro. EasternNC would like to also install 4-inch distribution pipeline to the school, and the pipe would be installed on the south side of Highway 55, and again co-located with NC DOT right-of-way. Our environmental consultant, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI), used GPS technology to gather all wetland and/or stream data points and flagged them for these two routes in May of 2003. EasternNC is planning to utilize HDD in any areas where the pipeline would cross wetland areas. The two streams that will be traversed are both CAMA crossings (North Prong and South Prong of the Bay River), so they also will be crossed utilizing HDD. A map showing the exact location of the proposed pipeline route is attached for your information. Additionally, aerial maps that identify exact locations of wetlands and/or streams are provided. Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please don't hesitate to call me at (919) 235-6014. Mr. Scott Jones with the US Army Corps of Engineers will also be receiving a modification letter concerning these two areas. Thank you in advance for your support and assistance in processing the requested modification to our Phase HIA CAMA Permit (#51-03). C Sheila J.
