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

Laurie, when reading through the water quality certification for utilities, it
sounded like they are not an exempt activity, but that no mitigation is required.
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!

Dear Mr. Tugwell and Ms. Karoly:
S&ME, Inc. (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:

Background Information
PNG plans to relocate approximately one mile of natural gas pipeline. 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.

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.

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. If we can provide additional information or answer
questions you may have, please feel free to contact us at 704.523.4726.

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. If use of
the NCWRP is proposed, please check the appropriate box on page three and provide the
following infonmation:
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

IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state) funds or the use of public
(federal/state) land?
Yes ? No
If yes, does the project require preparation of an envirommental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please attach a
copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter.
Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Neuse), 15A NCAC 213 .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and
Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please identify )?
Yes ? No ® If you answered "yes", provide the following information:
Identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers. If buffer
mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the buffer
multipliers.
Zone* Impact
(square feet) Multiplier Required
Mitigation
1 7,200 3 N/A - exempt
2 4,800 1.5 N/A - exempt
Total 12,000 N/A - exempt
* Zone I extends out 30 feet perpendicular from near bank of channel; Gone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e., Donation
of Property, Conservation Easement, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, Preservation or
Payment into the Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as
identified within 15A NCAC 213.0242 or.0260.
N/A

Discuss stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands
downstream from the property.
N/A.
XI1. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
N/A
XIII. Violations (required by DWQ)
Is this site in violation of DWQ Wetland Rules (15A NCAC 2H .0500) or any Buffer Rules?
Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application?
Yes ? No
XIV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).

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

topographic map (Exhibit 2). 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.

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 artemesiia), sericea lespedeza
(Lespedeza cuneata), fescue (Festuca sp.), blackberry (Rubus sp.), and black cherry (Prunus

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.

Dear Mr. Tugwell and Ms. Karoly:
S&ME, Inc. (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:

Background Information
PNG plans to relocate approximately one mile of natural gas pipeline. 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.

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.

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.
By copy of this correspondence and completed PCN, we are requesting your written concurrence
with this NWP 12 permit application. If we can provide additional infonmation or answer
questions you may have, please feel free to contact us at 704.523.4726.

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

Laurie, sorry for the incomplete table. The attached table has been revised to
include columns listing temporary and permanent impacts. I also added a note at the
bottom identifying each of the streams as unnamed tributaries to Richland Creek.
Please let me know if you need additional information.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
