Dear Ms. Hughes:
On May 2, 2003, the Department of the Army issued a permit to Eastern North Carolina
Natural Gas to construct Phase IRA of the Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas pipeline project
from Hackney in Pitt County to Tar Landing in Onslow County. A written request for permit
modifications was received on August 28, 2003.
This request involves the replacement of the Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) of Wetland
71A with open-cut construction. Wetland 71A is located north of Ten Mile Fork immediately
west of U.S. Hwy. 17 near the Jones and Craven County line. Several other wetland crossings
previously permitted to be open-cut have been identified for HDD (see attached Phase 3A Permit
Modification). This modification is requested due to the length of Wetland 71A and the
associated construction cost. The modification decreases temporary impacts associated with
pipeline construction by 0.018 acres.
The permit is hereby modified to include the work as shown on the enclosed plans. It is
understood that all conditions of the original permit remain applicable and that the expiration
date is unchanged.
Sincerely,
Charles R. Alexander, Jr.
Colonel,U.S. Army

SUBJECT: Modification request for CAMA Major Permit 51-03 (DWQ Project
No. 030051) issued to Eastern North Carolina Natural Gas (ENCNG)
for Phase IIIA, Beaufort, Craven, Pamlico, Jones and Onslow Counties
Attached please find a modification request submitted by Ms. Sheila Hughes of Eastern
North Carolina Natural Gas, in which a modification to CAMA Permit No. 51-03 was requested.
This modification request involves changing the method of crossing for one wetland area from
horizontal directional drilling(HDD)to an open cut. To offset this impact, ENCNG proposes to
switch from an open cut method to HDD at 5 smaller wetland sites. In order to properly evaluate
this request, I would like to request comments from your agencies on the modification. If at all
possible, comments by September 30, 2003 would be appreciated. Please feel free to contact me
at(919) 733-2293 should you wish to discuss this matter further.

MEMORANDUM:
TO: DOUG HUGGETT
FROM: TRACEY WHEELER, , cLCA-1
SUBJECT: MINOR MODIFICATION—CAMA MAJOR PERMIT # 51-03
DATE: September 5, 2003
Please find enclosed a request from Ms. Shelia Hughes, Environmental Coordinator for Eastern
North Carolina Natural Gas (ENCNG) requesting a modification to CAMA Major Permit # 51-
03 to change the horizontal direction drill of Wetland 71-A to an open cut. ENCNG proposes to
change the method of construction in several other wetlands from open cut to horizontal
directional drill. If permitted, the modification would not increase total wetland impacts.
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 change one
1.23 HDD crossing to open trench, and to change eleven smaller crossings constituting 1.24 ac,
from open trench to HDD. None of the subject crossings are navigable, nor do they contain
coastal wetland vegetation.
After thorough review of the request I have determined that this proposal is consistent with 15A
NCAC Subchapter 07H.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
will be submitting the $100 modification fee.

RE: Phase IIIA Minor Modification Request—Wetland 71A Construction Method
Dear Ms. Wheeler,
EastemNC is proposing to modify its original Phase IIIA CAMA permit by replacing the
Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) of Wetland 71A (a non-CAMA wetland) with open-cut
construction. To balance this request, EastemNC has identified several other wetlands that were
previously permitted to be open-cut for HDD construction. The modification request is being
submitted due to the length of W71A, which will cause EastemNC to face a tremendous
construction cost. The longer the length of a HDD the more costly it is per foot of HDD, which
we need to avoid where possible under our budget constraints. EastemNC had previously
submitted the Phase IIIA permit application book when this information was discovered, and it
was an oversight on our part. EastemNC would like permission to open-cut W71A, and HDD
others listed to bring the length of wetlands drilled to the original permitted amount. Therefore,
overall wetland impact numbers are not changing. The table attached lists all wetlands requested
for open-cut and each corresponding length.
Our environmental consultant, Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI), used GPS technology to
gather all wetland and/or stream data points and flagged them in November of 2002. Aerial
maps showing the exact location and acreage's of both the proposed open-cut of W71A and
HDD's for each wetland are attached for your information.
Should you have any questions or need any additional information, please don't hesitate to call
me at [phone]. Thank you in advance for your support and assistance in processing the
requested modification to our Phase IIIA CAMA Permit 51-03.
