Box 33068 Charlotte, NC 28233 APPROVAL of 401 Water Quality Certification with Additional Conditions Dear Mr. Jeans: Piedmont Natural Gas has our approval, in accordance with the attached conditions, to place permanent fill in 120 linear feet of perennial stream and to place temporary fill in 0.09 acre of wetlands for the purpose of relocating an existing gas pipeline along Checker Road, in Guilford County near Archdale, as described in your application received by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) on July 27, 2005. After reviewing your application, we have determined that this fill is covered by General Water Quality Certification Number 3374, which can be viewed on our web site at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. This Certification allows you to use Nationwide Permit Number 12 when it is issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In addition, you should secure any other applicable federal, state or local permits before you proceed with your project, including (but not limited to) those required by Sediment and Erosion Control, Non-Discharge, and Water Supply Watershed regulations. Also, this approval will expire when the accompanying 404 permit expires unless otherwise specified in the General Certification. This approval is valid only for the purpose and design that you have described in your application. If you change your project, you must notify us in writing and you may be required to send us a new application for a new certification. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of the Certification and approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions. If total wetland fills for this project (now or in the future) exceed one acre, compensatory mitigation may be required as described in 15A NCAC 2H .0506 (h). For this approval to be valid, you must follow the conditions listed in the attached certification, as well as the additional conditions listed below: 1. The following impacts are hereby approved as long as all other specific and general conditions of the Certification are met. No other impacts, including incidental impacts, are approved: Amount Approved Plan Location or Reference Streams 120 linear feet Three unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek, two located along Checker Road and one located on Windcreek Court, near Archdale in Guilford County.

Note that you are the first reviewer, so this file will need to be reviewed for administrative as well as technical details. If you elect to place this project on hold, please ask the applicant to provide your requested information to both the Central Office in Raleigh as well as the Asheville Regional Office. As we discussed, this is an experimental, interim procedure as we slowly transition to electronic applications. Please apprise me of any complications you encounter, whether related to workload, processing times, or lack of a "second reviewer" as the triage process in Central had previously provided. Also, if you think of ways to improve this process, especially so that we can plan for the electronic applications, let me know. Thanks !

Based on this interpretation, I entered impacts, but no proposed mitigation, when filling out the form. I calculated the impacts based on the width of the temporary construction easement. This would be the maximum amount of area disturbed; however, the permanent impacts will be less, since only 10 feet of the easement can be maintained at stream crossings. Please let me know if this is different from similar submittals that you see. We don't often have projects in areas with mandated buffers, and would appreciate any guidance you can give. Thanks!

(S&ME) wishes to submit an application for impacts to waters of the United States in accordance with Department of the Army Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12. Our client, Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG), is proposing to re-locate approximately one mile of gas pipeline in Guilford County, NC to accommodate a new interchange on Interstate 85 planned by the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Accordingly, PNG will be considered the applicant for this permit. Please find enclosed the following: • A completed Pre-Construction Notification (PCN) and Letter of Authorization to Act as Agent S&ME, Inc.

The project originates at an existing PNG pipeline in Guilford County southeast of Interstate 85 and approximately 500 linear feet (If) east of the end of Joplin Drive. The proposed project involves temporary impacts to four wetland areas and three crossings of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. A pond located near the northern terminus of the project will be directionally bored. The coordinates at the northern terminus of the study corridor are approximately 35.9324°N, 79.9177°W and the coordinates at the southern terminus are approximately 35.9279°N, 79.9263°W. The location of the project corridor is depicted in Exhibit 1. Impacts to waters of the U.S. are limited to temporary impacts associated with disturbance to wetlands and streams during construction of the proposed pipeline. The impacts will result from excavation of a trench, placement of the pipe, and then restoration of the affected portion of the stream and wetland areas to original grades and contours. Stream crossings may additionally entail placement of riprap below ordinary high water for stabilization purposes. The approximate impacts of the proposed work are depicted on Exhibit 4 (Approximate Stream Crossings and Wetland Locations) and the attached wetland survey sheets. 2 Nationwide Pennit No. 12 S&ME Project Number 1357-05-386 High Point Pipeline Relocation July 22, 2005 Field Observations S&ME wetlands professionals conducted a field recomnaissance of the study corridor on June 6 and 7, 2005. The purpose of the field reconnaissance was to determine the presence or absence of jurisdictional wetlands or waters of the U.S. within the study corridor. The delineation was conducted utilizing currently accepted methods for wetland determination, as set forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Manual for Identifying and Delineating Wetland Areas, which states that under normal circumstances, an area must demonstrate the presence of three components to be considered jurisdictional: 1) hydrophytic vegetation, 2) hydric soils and 3) wetland hydrology. The scope of S&ME's work also included assessment of streams in the study corridor. These stream assessments were conducted in accordance with the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and USACOE guidelines. Conditions along the study corridor are depicted by Photos 1-6 (attached). Stream crossing numbers, approximate geographic coordinates, and average widths are provided in the attached table. Stream crossing locations are presented in Exhibit 4. Protected Species On June 6 and 7, 2005, S&ME conducted an assessment for potential habitat for protected species along the study corridor, and determined that, based on the literature and pedestrian field review, no potential habitat for protected species occur along the study corridor. No protected species were observed during the field review. A copy of the Protected Species Assessment, with details of methodology and findings, has been included with this PCN application. 3 Nationwide Permit No. 12 S&ME Project Number 1357-05-386 High Point Pipeline Relocation July 22, 2005 Delineation Results Based upon S&ME's findings, jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted at four locations along the proposed alignment (Exhibit 4). The temporary wetland impact areas total approximately 0.00 acre. Wetland types along the study corridor are limited to two emergent areas and two forested areas. Typical vegetation observed in these wetland types is described in further detail below. Typical Emergent Wetland: Wetland vegetation consisted of an herbaceous layer of lurid sedge (Carex lurida), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum), and false nettle (Boelnneria cylindrica). Typical Forested Wetland: Wetland vegetation consisted of a canopy of sweetguin (Liquidambar stvracijlua) with a subcanopy of box elder (Acer negundo) and ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana). Vines observed during field review included Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). The herbaceous layer was comprised of switchgrass, Japanese bamboo grass (Microstegium vimineuni), and false nettle. Locations of delineated wetland areas are identified on Exhibit 4, and on the attached wetland survey sheets. Photos of the wetland areas and routine wetland determination forms are included as an attachment to this submittal. In addition to four wetland impact areas, the proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation project will cross jurisdictional waters of the U.S. in three locations. Impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. include crossings of three intemnittent, aquatically important channels. These crossings will result in temporary impacts to approximately 0.03 acre of jurisdictional channel. Approximate locations of these stream crossings are identified in Table 1 and on Exhibit 4 (attached). Stream data forms are also included as an attachment to this submittal. Avoidance and Minimization The proposed project has been necessitated by a new interchange for N.C. Highway 311 on Interstate 85. To accommodate the NCDOT project, PNG must relocate an existing gas pipeline 4 Nationwide Permit No. 12 Hiuh Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project Number 1357-05-386 July 22, 2005 that parallels Interstate-85. The alignment of the relocation has been detennined by the planned interchange. Consequently, there are no practicable alternatives to the proposed project. PNG has designed the proposed project to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands and waters of the U.S. Avoidance and minimization efforts undertaken by PNG include directionally boring a pond at the northern terminus of the project, just east of Joplin Drive and limiting impacts to 40 feet in width at stream crossings and wetland locations. Regulatory Considerations The construction corridor will be limited to 40 feet in width across stream channels. Placement of riprap will be restricted to the stream bottom and banks directly impacted by the placement of the water main. Riprap will only be used below the normal high water level, and placement of riprap will not result in de-stabilization of the stream bed or banks upstream or downstream of the crossing. Following construction, stream crossings will be restored to original grade and elevation. The proposed project will not result in permanent changes in pre-construction elevation contours or stream dimension, pattern or profile. Excess material will be removed to a high ground disposal area. Because the re-alignment has been dictated by the design of the NCDOT interchange, two of the three stream crossings are not perpendicular to the channel. Consequently, PNG is submitting this PCN to DWQ for approval. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices equaling those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" shall be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to assure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard. Sediment and erosion control measures placed in waters will be removed and the original grade restored within two months after the Division of Land Resources has released the project. Impacts have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable, and appropriate measures will be taken during construction to ensure that the flow and circulation patterns of waters of the U.S. remain unaffected to the extent practicable. -Alk Nationwide Permit No. 12 S&ME Project Number 1357-05-386 High Point Pipeline Relocation July 22, 2005 Based on our experience with similar projects involving impacts permitted through NWP 12, it is our understanding that impacts to streams and wetlands resulting from construction of the proposed project will be considered temporary if these areas are restored to original pre- construction contours once construction is completed. Impacts associated with the proposed project fall below the 0.5 acre threshold for NWT 12. Accordingly, this PCN for NWP 12 is being submitted to the USACOE for approval. S&ME completed the PCN on behalf of PNG for submittal to the USACOE. Mitigation We do not anticipate that our client will be required to provide compensatory mitigation since the impacts are temporary in nature, and avoidance and minimization efforts have been undertaken in the planning process. Additionally, it is our understanding, based on previous experience with similar projects, that the avoidance and minimization procedures implemented during the design phase of the proposed Higll Point Pipeline Relocation, including the use of directional boring in some locations, should be considered adequate mitigation for this project. By copy of this correspondence and completed PCN, we are requesting your written concurrence with this NWP 12 permit application.

Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The proposed project has been necessitated by a new interchange for N.C. Highway 311 on Interstate 85. To accommodate the NCDOT proiect, PNG must relocate an existing gas pipeline that parallels Interstate 85. The alignment of the relocation has been determined by the planned interchange. Consequently, there are no practicable alternatives to the proposed proiect. PNG has designed the proposed proiect to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands and waters of the U.S. Avoidance and minimization efforts undertaken by PNG include directionally boring a pond at the northern terminus of the proiect, oust east of Joplin Drive and limiting impacts to 40 feet in width at stream crossings and wetland locations. Additionally, impacts to wetlands and streams will be temporary, and original grades and contours will be restored upon completion of construction. A pond at the northern terminus of the project will be directionally bored to minimize impacts to waters of the U.S. Riprap will be used only when considered necessary , and will be restricted to the area below ordinary high water. Major creek crossings may use temporary bridges spanning the banks of the channel to facilitate movement of construction equipment. Culverts or pipes will not be used. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. Page 5 of 8 USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at lit!p://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetlands/strmgide.htmi. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Based on conversations with the USACOE for recent similar projects, we anticipate that appropriate mitigation for the proposed project will be limited to avoidance and minimization procedures implemented during the design phase of the proposed project. Minimization measures include utilizing directional bore methods for a pond at the northeastern terminus of the project. Impacts resulting from the proposed project are temporary. Original grades and contours will be restored in wetland areas and at creek crossings. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm.

Reference: Protected Species Assessment High Point Pipeline Relocation Guilford County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 Dear Mr. Jeans: S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is pleased to submit the results of the Protected Species Assessment recently performed on a proposed natural gas pipeline relocation project in Guilford County, N.C. (Exhibit 1). The proposed realignment originates at an existing pipeline approximately 500 linear feet (lf) east of the terminus of Joplin Drive, southeast of Interstate 85 in Guilford County, N.C. and proceeds southwest along the proposed route for the realignment of N.C. Highway 311, and ends west of the terminus of Windcreek Court (Exhibit 2). This work was performed in - accordance with-S&ME Proposal No. 1357-15204-05, dated May 20, 2005. The opinions included in this report are based on the information obtained during the study and our professional experience. This letter summarizes observations made on the dates noted using the procedures described herein, within the study corridor outlined on Exhibits 2 and 3. Summaries of the professional experience of the botanist that conducted the scope of services summarized in this letter report and of S&ME's reviewer have been included as an attachment to this report. The coordinates at the northern terminus of the study corridor are approximately 35.9324°N, 79.9177oW and the coordinates at the southern terminus are approximately 35.9279°N, 79.9263°W. The study corridor is included on a portion of the High Point East, NC USGS SWE, Inc.

Specifically, the field review was limited to an approximately 60- foot wide area encompassing 30 feet on either side of the proposed centerline, as staked in the field. Included with this letter are a Site Vicinity Map (Exhibit 1), and portions of the applicable USGS Topographic Map (Exhibit 2). Endangered and threatened species are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543). Endangered species are defined as those plants and animals whose prospects of survival are in immediate danger. Threatened species are those species that may become endangered if conditions related to their existence continue to deteriorate (e.g.,. loss of suitable habitat). The purpose of this protected species review and vegetative communities assessment is to evaluate whether current conditions along the study corridor are suitable for those protected terrestrial species (plants and animals occurring on land) whose presence may be currently or historically documented in Guilford County, to.determine if those species known to occur in the vicinity of the study corridor are present at the time of field review, and to provide a general description of vegetative communities identified along the study corridor. Scope of Services S&ME's review of potential protected species habitat and vegetative communities in the study corridor consisted of two tasks. Task.1 entailed a review of existing records obtained from federal and state sources to identify documented records of protected terrestrial species within the study corridor. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) webpage wa s consulted for a listing of protected terrestrial species documented within Guilford County, N.C. Task 2 involved a literature and field review of the study corridor to identify areas that may provide potential habitat for the protected terrestrial species identified during Task 1. Task 2 included a review of topography, soil types, level of disturbance, and plant community types. Study Methods Review of the NCNHP webpage for records of protected terrestrial species within Guilford County, N.C. identified listed terrestrial species and their respective Federal and State status. 2 Protected Species Review Proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 . July 22, 2005 The findings of the webpage review are presented in Table 1. Explanations of Federal and State codes are included at the end of the table. Please note that this assessment did not include a field review for protected aquatic species. Haliaeetus leucocephalus Bald eagle 'FABLE?

Portions of the study area that matched descriptions of preferred habitat for protected terrestrial species listed in Table 1 were classified as potential habitat for protected terrestrial species. An assessment of potential habitat for protected terrestrial species in the study corridor was conducted by performing a field review on June 6 and 7, 2005. Existing Study Area Conditions and Habitat Characterization S&ME conducted an inventory of existing site conditions and dominant vegetative community types in the study area. Photographs of the study area are included as an attachment to this report. Vegetative communities in the study area were distinguished by plant species, location in the landscape, past disturbances and hydrologic characteristics. Habitat in the study corridor is limited to open fields, active pasture, areas recovering from clearing, and narrow riparian corridors. Vegetation observed along the alignment during field review included soybeans (Glycine max), ragweed (Ambrosia artemesiia), sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), fescue (Festuca sp.), blackberry (Rubus sp.), and black cherry (Prunus 3 Protected Species Review Proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 July 22, 2005 serotina). Wetland areas along the corridor were primarily vegetated with false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), lurid sedge (Carex lurida), and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). Forested wetlands additionally had sweetgum (Liquidambar stryaciflua), box elder (Acer negundo), and ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana). Protected Flora and Fauna The NCNHP database identified one federally or state-protected species with a documented population in Guilford County, as identified in Table 1. A habitat assessment was conducted on June 6 and 7, 2005 for this species. A description of this species, and typical habitat associated with it is provided below. Bald eagle - State Listed Endangered. Federally Listed Threatened BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT The bald eagle is associated with coasts, rivers, and lakes, usually nesting near large bodies of water where it feeds. Nesting habitat in the southeast usually occurs in pine or cypress trees. The bald eagle is listed as a current record for Guilford County. The proposed project is located in close proximity to Interstate 85 and is not in the vicinity of large bodies of water or otherwise appropriate habitat for the bald eagle. Consequently, the proposed project is not anticipated to impact the bald eagle or its habitat. Results No bald eagles were observed during field review. Additionally, the proposed project will not impact habitat that may be considered suitable for the bald eagle. In summary, a review of protected terrestrial species known to occur in Guilford County, N.C. identified one bird species. The study corridor was field-reviewed for the presence of this species. No protected terrestrial species were observed during field review. 4 1 .s ' Protected Species Review Proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 July 22, 2005 We hope that this letter addresses concerns you may have regarding the potential for impacts to protected species in the study corridor.

(S&ME) wishes to submit an application for impacts to waters of the United States in accordance with Department of the Army Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12. Our client, Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG), is proposing to re-locate approximately one mile of gas pipeline in Guilford County, NC to accommodate a new interchange on Interstate 85 planned by the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Accordingly, PNG will be considered the applicant for this permit.

The project originates at an existing PNG pipeline in Guilford County southeast of Interstate 85 and approximately 500 linear feet (10 east of the end of Joplin Drive. The proposed project involves temporary impacts to four wetland areas and three crossings of jurisdictional waters of the U.S. A pond located near the northern terminus of the project will be directionally bored. The coordinates at the northern terminus of the study corridor are approximately 35.9324°N, 79.9177°W and the coordinates at the southern terminus are approximately 35.9279°N, 79.9263°W. The location of the project corridor is depicted in Exhibit 1. Impacts to waters of the U.S. are limited to temporary impacts associated with disturbance to wetlands and streams during construction of the proposed pipeline. The impacts will result from excavation of a trench, placement of the pipe, and then restoration of the affected portion of the stream and wetland areas to original grades and contours. Stream crossings may additionally entail placement of riprap below ordinary high water for stabilization purposes. The approximate impacts of the proposed work are depicted on Exhibit 4 (Approximate Stream Crossings and Wetland Locations) and the attached wetland survey sheets. 2 Nationwide Permit No. 12 S&ME Project Number 1357-05-386 High Point Pipeline Relocation July 22, 2005 Field Observations S&ME wetlands professionals conducted a field reconnaissance of the study corridor on June 6 and 7, 2005. The purpose of the field reconnaissance was to determine the presence or absence of jurisdictional wetlands or waters of the U.S. within the study corridor. The delineation was conducted utilizing currently accepted methods for wetland determination, as set forth in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) Manual for Identifying and Delineating Wetland Areas, which states that under normal circumstances, an area must demonstrate the presence of three components to be considered jurisdictional: 1) hydrophytic vegetation, 2) hydric soils and 3) wetland hydrology. The scope of S&ME's work also included assessment of strearns in the study corridor. These strearn assessments were conducted in accordance with the N.C. Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and USACOE guidelines. Conditions along the study corridor are depicted by Photos 1-6 (attached). Stream crossing numbers, approximate geographic coordinates, and average widths are provided in the attached table. Stream crossing locations are presented in Exhibit 4. Protected Species On June 6 and 7, 2005, S&ME conducted an assessment for potential habitat for protected species along the study corridor, and determined that, based on the literature and pedestrian field review, no potential habitat for protected species occur along the study corridor. No protected species were observed during the field review. A copy of the Protected Species Assessment, with details of methodology and findings, has been included with this PCN application. Nationwide Permit No. 12 S&ME Project Number 1357-05-386 High Point Pipeline Relocation July 22, 2005 Delineation Results Based upon S&ME's findings, jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted at four locations along the proposed aligiunent (Exhibit 4). The temporary wetland impact areas total approximately 0.09 acre. Wetland types along the study corridor are limited to two emergent areas and two forested areas. Typical vegetation observed in these wetland types is described in further detail below. Typical Emergent Wetland: Wetland vegetation consisted of an herbaceous layer of lurid sedge (Carer lurida), switchgrass (Panicum virgatunz), and false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica). Typical Forested Wetland: Wetland vegetation consisted of a canopy of sweetgum (Liquidantbar sl.vraciflua) with a subcanopy of box elder (Acer negundo) and ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana). Vines observed during field review included Virginia creeper (Partlienocissus quinquefolia) and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). The herbaceous layer was comprised of switchgrass, Japanese bamboo grass (Microstegiuni vimineum), and false nettle. Locations of delineated wetland areas are identified on Exhibit 4, and on the attached wetland survey sheets. Photos of the wetland areas and routine wetland determination forms are included as an attaclurient to this submittal. Iii addition to four wetland impact areas, the proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation project will cross jurisdictional waters of the U.S. in three locations. Impacts to jurisdictional waters of the U.S. include crossings of three intermittent, aquatically important channels. These crossings will result in temporary impacts to approximately 0.03 acre of jurisdictional channel. Approximate locations of these stream crossings are identified in Table 1 and on Exhibit 4 (attached). Stream data forms are also included as an attachment to this submittal. Avoidance and Minimization The proposed project has been necessitated by a new interchange for N.C. Highway 311 on Interstate 85. To accommodate the NCDOT project, PNG must relocate an existing gas pipeline 4 Nationwide Permit No. 12 S&ME Project Number 1357-05-386 High Point Pipeline Relocation July 22, 2005 that parallels Interstate-85. The alignment of the relocation has been determined by the planned interchange. Consequently, there are no practicable alternatives to the proposed project. PNG has designed the proposed project to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands and waters of the U.S. Avoidance and minimization efforts undertaken by PNG include directionally boring a pond at the northern terminus of the project, just east of Joplin Drive and limiting impacts to 40 feet in width at stream crossings and wetland locations. Regulatory Considerations The construction corridor will be limited to 40 feet in width across stream channels. Placement of riprap will be restricted to the stream bottom and banks directly impacted by the placement of the water main. Riprap will only be used below the normal high water level, and placement of nprap will not result in de-stabilization of the stream bed or banks upstream or downstream of the crossing. Following construction, stream crossings will be restored to original grade and elevation. The proposed project will not result in permanent changes in pre-construction elevation contours or stream dimension, pattern or profile. Excess material will be removed to a high ground disposal area. Because the re-alignment has been dictated by the design of the NCDOT interchange, two of the three stream crossings are not perpendicular to the channel. Consequently, PNG is submitting this PCN to DWQ for approval. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices equaling those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" shall be in full compliance with all specifications governing the proper design, installation, operation and maintenance of such Best Management Practices in order to assure compliance with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard. Sediment and erosion control measures placed in waters will be removed and the original grade restored within two months after the Division of Land Resources has released the project. Impacts have been avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable, and appropriate measures will be taken during construction to ensure that the flow and circulation patterns of waters of the U.S. remain unaffected to the extent practicable. 5 Nationwide Permit No. 12 High Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project Number 1357-05-386 July 22, 2005 Based on our experience with similar projects involving impacts permitted through NWP 12, it is our understanding that impacts to streams and wetlands resulting from construction of the proposed project will be considered temporary if these areas are restored to original pre- construction contours once construction is completed. Impacts associated with the proposed project fall below the 0.5 acre threshold for NWP 12. Accordingly, this PCN for NWT 12 is being submitted to the USACOE for approval. S&ME completed the PCN on behalf of PNG for submittal to the USACOE. Mitigation We do not anticipate that our client will be required to provide compensatory mitigation since the impacts are temporary in nature, and avoidance and minimization efforts have been undertaken in the plamling process. Additionally, it is our understanding, based on previous experience with similar projects, that the avoidance and minimization procedures implemented during the design phase of the proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation, including the use of directional boring in some locations, should be considered adequate mitigation for this project.

Pond Creation Page 4 of 8 If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embanlnlient, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stonnwater requirement, etc.): NIA Size of watershed draining to pond: NIA Expected pond surface area: NIA VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization) , Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts. The Droaosed Droiect has been necessitated by a new interchange for N.C. Hiqhwav 311 on Interstate 85. To accommodate the NCDOT project, PNG must relocate an existing gas pipeline that parallels Interstate 85. The alignment of the relocation has been determined by the planned interchange. Consequently, there are no practicable alternatives to the proposed project. PNG has designed the proposed project to avoid and minimize impacts to wetlands and waters of the U.S. Avoidance and minimization efforts undertaken by PNG include directionally boring a pond at the northern terminus of the project, Oust east of Joplin Drive and limiting impacts to 40 feet in width at stream crossings and wetland locations. Additionally, impacts to wetlands and streams will be temporary, and original grades and contours will be restored upon completion of construction. A pond at the northern terminus of the project will be directionally bored to minimize impacts to waters of the U.S. Riprap will be used only when considered necessary , and will be restricted to the area below ordinary high water. Major creek crossings may use temporary bridqes spanning the banks of the channel to facilitate movement of construction equipment. Culverts or pipes will not be used. VIII. Mitigation DWQ - hi accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial streams. Page 5 of 8 .y USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, mitigation will be required when necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic enviromnent are minimal. Factors including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include, but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar functions and values, preferable in the same watershed. If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application lacking a required mitigation plan or NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at http://h2o.el-ir.state.nc.us/newetlands/stnnizide.html. 1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet) of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view, preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a separate sheet if more space is needed. Based on conversations with the USACOE for recent similar projects, we anticipate that appropriate mitigation for the proposed project will be limited to avoidance and minimization procedures implemented during the design phase of the proposed project. Minimization measures include utilizing directional bore methods for a pond at the northeastern terminus of the proiect. Impacts resulting from the proposed proiect are temporary. Original grades and contours will be restored in wetland areas and at creek crossings. 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at (919) 733-5208 to determine availability and to request written approval of mitigation prior to submittal of a PCN. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the following information: Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet): N/A Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet): N/A Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres): N/A Page 6 of 8 1 IX.

Box 33068 Charlotte, North Carolina 28233 Attention: Herb Jeans, P.E. Reference: Protected Species Assessment High Point Pipeline Relocation Guilford County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 Dear Mr. Jeans: S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is pleased to submit the results of the Protected Species Assessment recently performed on a proposed natural gas pipeline relocation project in Guilford County, N.C. (Exhibit 1). The proposed realignment originates at an existing pipeline approximately 500 linear feet (If) east of the terminus of Joplin Drive, southeast of Interstate 85 in Guilford County, N.C. and proceeds southwest along the proposed route for the realignment of N.C. Highway 311, and ends west of the terminus of Windcreek Court (Exhibit 2). This work was performed in accordance with S&ME Proposal-No. 1357-15204-05, dated May 20, 2005. The opinions - --- -.- included in this report are based on the information obtained during the study and our professional experience. This letter summarizes observations made on the dates noted using the procedures described herein, within the study corridor outlined on Exhibits 2 and 3. Summaries of the professional experience of the botanist that conducted the scope of services summarized in this letter report and of S&ME's reviewer have been included as an attachment to this report. The coordinates at the northern terminus of the study corridor are approximately 35.9324°N, 79.9177°W and the coordinates at the southern terminus are approximately 35.9279°N, 79.9263oW. The study corridor is included on a portion of the High Point East, NC USGS SWE, Inc. (704) 523-4726 9751 Southern Pine Blvd. (704) 525-3953 fax Charlotte, North Carolina 28273-5560 www.smeinc.com Protected Species Review Proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 July 22, 2005 topographic map (Exhibit 2). Specif ically, the field review was limited to an approximately 60- foot wide area encompassing 30 feet on either side of the proposed centerline, as staked in the field. Included with this letter are a Site Vicinity Map (Exhibit 1), and portions of the applicable USGS Topographic Map (Exhibit 2). Endangered and threatened species are protected under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543). Endangered species are defined as those plants and animals whose prospects of survival are in immediate danger. Threatened species are those species that may become endangered if conditions related to their existence continue to deteriorate (e.g., loss of suitable habitat). The purpose of this protected species review and vegetative communities assessment is to evaluate whether current conditions along the study corridor are suitable for those protected terrestrial species (plants and animals occurring on land) whose presence may be currently or historically documented in Guilford County, to. determine if those species known to occur in the vicinity of the study corridor are present at the time of field review, and to provide a general description of vegetative communities identified along the study corridor. Scope of Services S&ME's review of potential protected species habitat and vegetative communities in the study corridor consisted of two tasks. Task 1 entailed a review of existing records obtained from federal and state sources to identify documented records of protected terrestrial species within the study corridor. The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) webpage was consulted for a listing of protected terrestrial species documented within Guilford County, N.C. Task 2 involved a literature and field review of the study corridor to identify areas that may provide potential habitat for the protected terrestrial species identified during Task 1. Task 2 included a review of topography, soil types, level of disturbance, and plant community types. Study Methods Review of the NCNB? webpage for records of protected terrestrial species within Guilford County, N.C. identified listed terrestrial species and their respective Federal and State status. 2 Protected Species Review Proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 . July 22, 2005 The findings of the webpage review are presented in Table 1. Explanations of Federal and State codes are included at the end of the table. Please note that this assessment did not include a field review for protected aquatic species. TABLE 1 I PltO'l l?(;"I'l:U "I'[+ lt1Il;S1'1ZI ?L SPECIES S )MARY Species Federal Status State Status Haliaeetus leucocephalus Bald eagle T-PD E C = Threatened, E = Endangered, PD = Proposed de-listed During field reconnaissance, S&ME personnel integrated the information obtained during the literature review with field evaluation. for the presence of protected terrestrial species or potential protected species habitat. Portions of the study area that matched descriptions of preferred habitat for protected terrestrial species listed in Table 1 were classified as potential habitat for protected terrestrial species. An assessment of potential habitat for protected terrestrial species in the study corridor was conducted by performing a field review on June 6 and 7, 2005. Existing Study Area Conditions and Habitat Characterization S&ME conducted an inventory of existing site conditions and dominant vegetative community types in the study area. Photographs of the study area are included as an attachment to this report. Vegetative communities in the study area were distinguished by plant species, location in the landscape, past disturbances and hydrologic characteristics. Habitat in the study corridor is limited to open fields, active pasture, areas recovering from clearing, and narrow riparian corridors. Vegetation observed along the alignment during field review included soybeans (Glycine max), ragweed (Ambrosia artemesiiflia), sericea lespedeza (Leppedeza cuneata), fescue (Festuca sp.), blackberry (Rubus sp.), and black cherry (Prunus 3 Protected Species Review Proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 July 22, 2005 serotina). Wetland areas along the corridor were primarily vegetated with false nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), lurid sedge (Carex lurida), and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). Forested wetlands additionally had sweetgum (Liquidambar stryaciflua), box elder (Acer negundo), and ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana). Protected Flora and Fauna The NCNHP database identified one federally or state-protected species with a documented population in Guilford County, as identified in Table 1. A habitat assessment was conducted on June 6 and 7, 2005 for this species. A description of this species, and typical habitat associated with it is provided below. Bald eagle - State Listed Endangered, Federdlly Listed Threatened BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION: NO EFFECT The bald eagle is associated with coasts, rivers, and lakes, usually nesting near large bodies of water where it feeds. Nesting habitat in the southeast usually occurs in pine or cypress trees. The bald eagle is listed as a current record for Guilford County. The proposed project is located in close proximity to Interstate 85 and is not in the vicinity of large bodies of water or otherwise appropriate habitat for the bald eagle. Consequently, the proposed project is not anticipated to impact the bald eagle or its habitat. Results No bald eagles were observed during field review. Additionally, the proposed project will not impact habitat that may be considered suitable for the bald eagle. In summary, a review of protected terrestrial species known to occur in Guilford County, N.C. identified one bird species. The study corridor was field-reviewed for the presence of this species. No protected terrestrial species were observed during field review. 4 Protected Species Review Proposed High Point Pipeline Relocation S&ME Project No. 1357-05-386 July 22, 2005 We hope that this letter addresses concerns you may have regarding the potential for impacts to protected species in the study corridor.
