Mr. Junkin:
This email is in reference to the Pre -construction notification (PCN) for the proposed Cardinal Pipeline ROW at Tributary
to Beaver Creek Project (SAW-2023-01894), received on September 21, 2023.
The following information is required to complete our evaluation, confirm compliance with one or more General or
Regional Conditions, and/or complete consultation with another federal/state agency to verify the use of the
Nationwide Permit (NWP):
1. Your application states, "Any streams (as shown on Wake County GIS) to access the project area will be
spanned with mats to avoid any additional impacts". Please note that the access corridor to be utilized during
construction is part of the project area for this permit. All streams, and any potential wetlands, must be identified on
the ground by a qualified environmental scientist. A delineation of the access corridor will be required in addition to
the project area to consider this application complete. Note however that no -loss options to cross any features
identified are available and no adverse impact to your project is anticipated.

The entire Study Area, which includes the site access, as shown on the Aquatic Resources Map was walked
and evaluated for any additional regulated resources. There are two intermittent stream channels that
correspond with the Wake County GIS stream info within the Study Area. These channels are intermittent
streams and continue off the existing ROW to the north and south. Streams outside the Study Area were not
evaluated. The channels within the ROW will be spanned with mats resulting in no impact to the stream
channel itself. The Aquatic Resources Map has been revised and Page 3 of the Stabilization Plan has been
revised to reference the Aquatic Resources map for site access.
2. If work cannot be done in 'the dry', applicants will often propose the use of a stream pump -around or similar
measure to protect downstream resources during construction. Would any similar measures be employed during
construction of your project?
Yes, absolutely. On page 3 of the Conceptual Stream Stabilization Plan, it states that pump around practices
will be utilized as necessary to allow work to be completed in the dry and maintain flow downstream. Any
sediment -laden water from the work area will be pumped downstream through a sediment filter bag. However,
pump around practices have been added to page 3 of the Stabilization Plan for an easy visual.
Please provide the requested information within 30 days, or your application will be administratively withdrawn. To
clarify, if the requested information is submitted after the 30-day timeframe, you will not be required to re -submit an
entirely new PCN (unless otherwise specified). We will continue to review and/or process your permit application upon
receipt of the requested information.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
Best Regards,
Christopher. D. Hopper
