Hi Gary - thanks for the response. Attached are some screen shots and dimensions to better explain our construction
and permanent rights -of -way. By using HDD rather than conventional open cut construction, we were able to reduce
impacts along the longest wetland crossing by over 2 acres. The drawings will also show the obvious "necking down"
that is being implemented at the open cut crossings. Basically, Piedmont is reducing it's workspace from 125 - 130'
down to 70', which significantly reduces impacts on PFO wetlands. Below, we offer some additional details in response
to your three questions.
1. Does the USACE have any ILF credits available for purchase?
2. The stumps will remain in place along the entire HDD crossing of Gum Swamp. In other areas, where the pipeline will
be installed via conventional trenching, the root stalks will remain intact and the topsoil will be segregated, allowing the
crossing to revegetate naturally; however, it will be maintained in a PEM/PSS condition to protect the pipeline from
woody root encroachment.
3. Please see attached. I figured you would prefer 8.5 x 11 inserts of just the wetland crossings, but if you need more
detailed drawings, I can sent you the full-size (34"x22") design plans.
Feel free to give me a ring and we can talk through anything you need further details on.
Kind regards,
Robyn Susemihl

Robyn,
I apologize in the delay of this project review, just been really busy.
Below are my comments that need to be addressed before we can proceed with the application.
1. Converting 3.5 acres of Forested Wetlands to Emergent Wetlands will require mitigation. Especially if this utility
corridor is going to be mowed and kept from re -growing back into a Forested Wetland. If the wetlands to be impacted
are in pristine condition the mitigation ratio may be as high as 2:1.
2. Are the stumps of the trees going to be left in place with a gas line being installed so close by? If they are removed
that's definitely going to be an impact.
3. 1 need plans with dimensions on them for the wetland impacts.
A way needs to be found to avoid or minimize that 3.5 acre "permanent" wetland conversion impact.
Respectfully,
Gary

Hi Mr. Beecher -just checking back in on the status of our PCN. Since we submitted the PCN on October 11 and haven't
heard anything, is it safe to assume that you have everything you need and our application has been determined to be
complete?
Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hey Gary,
Happy Veteran's Day! I suppose you're off today, but hopefully you can respond tomorrow. We are just trying to get an
update on the status of our PCN submittal. Do you know if it has been accepted or if you will be requesting additional
information?
Thanks in advance for the info!

Subject: [Non-DoD Source] RLNG Pipeline Project PCN Submittal
Hi Bev and Gary,
I submitted the PCN online last week for the RLNG Pipeline Project in Robeson County and I was wondering if there is
any way to add to the record. We received our SHPO concurrence today and I wanted to make sure it was included. I'm
attaching the confirmation email for our PCN submittal as well as a copy of the SHPO concurrence. Please let me know if
there is a process for adding it to the electronic submittal or if emailing it to you guys is all I need to do.
Kind regards,
Robyn
