The PCN includes the required form, supplemental information and construction site plan. Additional information which may not be provided in the form is included in this cover letter. The proposed project will expand an existing substation site to accommodate "looping" of the adjacent transmission line into the substation. Two (2) circuit breakers and a line trap will be added within the fenced area of the substation facility. The minor expansion (20' south and 30' north) is required in this area of the site due to existing infrastructure and overhead lines, limiting available area for the additional equipment. Every effort has been made to minimize the project expansion footprint. The project area was delineated for wetlands and streams in February 2012 by Environmental Services, Inc. (Mr. Jeff Harbour). The February 15, 2012 site meeting with IJSACOE, DWQ, ESI and Progress Energy representatives confirmed the jurisdictional areas, including the segments of stream channel which are subject to the Tar -Pamlico buffer rules. Due to the limited area and physical site constraints, the following impacts are proposed: 0.012 acres wetland impact (permanent due to placement of fill) 60 linear feet of "unbuffered" stream impact (due to placement of fill and channel relocation) 410 square feet of Zone 2 Riparian Buffer impact (temporary disturbance to be re - vegetated) Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc. P.O. Box 1551 Halaigh, NE 211302 We trust the enclosed information is complete and will allow you to issue approval at an early date. Should you have any questions or require additional information please do not hesitate to contact our office. Sincerely, �` `"r Richard A.

The site is currently a 115kV substation owned and operated by Progress Energy. The Soil Survey of Franklin County, NC depicts one stream feature as originating near the southern property line of the site. We would like for NCDWQ to review this feature to determine if a riparian buffer is applicable.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the location and extent of wetlands subject to protection under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. 2.0 Project Description The project study area is located between Church Street on the east and Barbee Road on the west. The site is mostly wooded and there is an overgrown pond in the approximate middle of the site. 3.0 Methodologies Research was conducted prior to field investigations. Information sources used in pre - field investigations were the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS - formally SCS) soils map of Wake County (sheet 36) and the US Geologic Survey (USGS) quadrangle map (Cary). TCG conducted the field investigations on January 13 and April 23, 2010. All drainage features and potential wetland areas were evaluated to determine if they met the criteria for jurisdictional wetland status. Jurisdictional delineations were performed using the three -parameter approach as prescribed in the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987). The Draft Interim Regional Supplement for Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Region describing the parameters of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrological indicators was also utilized. The USACE wetland determination form -Eastern Mountains and Piedmont (DRAFT) was completed for the wetland system (Appendix II). Wetland boundaries were marked with pink and black striped flagging. All flags were surveyed using a hand-held GPS unit with sub -meter accuracy. 4.0 Qualification of Investigators The representatives of TCG conducting this investigation were Chris Sheats and Michael Wood. Mr. Sheats is a project manager for TCG with seven years of experience conducting natural resource investigations. His experience includes wetland and stream mitigation, jurisdictional wetland and stream delineations, environmental permitting, threatened and endangered species surveys, natural systems assessments, stream classifications, and graphics mapping. Michael Wood has nineteen years of experience in St. Maron's Church May 2010 TCG Job #2144 >ho the environmental field. He is a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist (NCLSS) and has experience mapping and delineating soils for a variety of purposes. In addition, he has experience in jurisdictional wetland and stream delineations, stream identification, and GIS mapping and analysis. 5.0 Results 5.1 Jurisdictional Wetlands One jurisdictional wetland was delineated with flags numbered 1-12. The wetland surrounds the pond. There is also an upland dike within the wetland. The approximate areas of each of feature are as follows and also noted on Figure 1: Wetland = 0.38 acre Pond = 0.05 acre Upland dike = 0.04 acre The soil in the wetland meets field indicator F3 as noted in the Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States (USDA, NRCS 2003), which states: F3. Depleted Matrix. A layer that has a depleted matrix with 60 percent or more chroma of 2 or less and has a minimum thickness of either: a.) 2 inches entirely within the uppers 6 inches of the soil surface MR b.) 6 inches starting with 10 inches of the soil surface 6.0 Summary This report is provided for preliminary planning purposes only. One wetland was noted and delineated / located in the project study area. It is the opinion of TCG that this features are regulated by the either/or the USACE or NCD WQ under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The jurisdictional determination will need to be verified by the regulatory agency prior to obtaining permits to impact any jurisdictional features. Any concurrence with the results of this investigation will be made at that time. St. Maron's Church May 2010 TCG Job #2144 REFERENCES Environmental Laboratory. 1987.
