P.O. Box Drawer 1179
Hillsborough, N.C. 27278
Dear Mr. Obenshain:
You have our approval, to construct the New Hope Distribution Feeder in Orange County application dated 7 May
1999. After reviewing your application, we have decided that this project is in compliance with the Neuse River Buffer
rules (15A NCAC 2B .0233). In addition, you should get any other federal, state or local permits before you go ahead
with your project including (but not limited to) Sediment and Erosion Control, Coastal Stormwater, Non-Discharge and
Water Supply Watershed regulations.
This approval is only valid for the purpose and design that you described in your application. If you change your
project, you must notify us and send us a new application. If the property is sold, the new owner must be given a copy of
this approval letter and is thereby responsible for complying with all conditions.
If you do not accept any of the conditions of this certification, you may ask for an adjudicatory hearing. You must
act within 60 days of the date that you receive this letter. To ask for a hearing, send a written petition, which conforms to
Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes to the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Box 27447, Raleigh,
N.C. 27611-7447. This approval and its conditions are final and binding unless you ask for a hearing.
This letter completes the review of the Division of Water Quality under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act. If you
have any questions, please telephone John Domey at 919-733-1786.

Re: New Hope Distribution Feeder
Dear Pete:
Following our April 16 meeting, we have been negotiating with the landowner so that
we could stay out of Zone 1 where our line comes close to a stream but does not cross it.
Enclosed is a Neuse Buffer Pre-Construction Notification Application for the New Hope
Distribution Feeder. I am submitting this application on behalf of Piedmont Electric
Membership Corporation (PEMC).
The New Hope Distribution Feeder proposed in Orange County is 0.38 miles in length
and crosses one unnamed stream and parallels approximately 154 feet of the same stream
in Zone 2. The line will span approximately 0.08 acres of Zone 1 and 0.11 acres of Zone
2. No structures will be placed in Zone 1 or 2; but one structure will be right at the outer
edge of Zone 2. Low growing and shrubby vegetation will be allowed to remain in these
buffer areas.
The project was initiated in 1997, prior to the adoption of the Neuse River buffer rules.
Once the substation location was settled on, the cooperative and the landowner negotiated
a route for this distribution feeder line that would minimize visual and other impacts for
the landowner and the public.
In addition, PEMC believes that the line will not significantly impact the riparian
buffer areas. The stream crossing is limited and does not require paralleling a stream in
Zone 1 at any point along the route. As a result of the construction and maintenance
techniques to be used, the line should have minimal disturbance on these areas. The line
will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the functional integrity of the riparian area,
and will not lead to violations of water quality standards or impair the biological integrity
or other uses of surface waters.
Serving Orange, Person, Caswell, Alamance, Durham, and Granville Counties
The application addresses these issues in more detail. If you have any questions, feel
free to call me at [phone]; otherwise, I look forward to hearing from you at your
earliest convenience.
Yours truly,

13. PURPOSE OF PROPOSED WORK: To clear a right-of-way for the purpose of
building a main feeder to tie New Hope Substation to existing electric

Orange County vicinity. 3

14. STATE REASONS WHY IT IS BELIEVED THAT THIS ACTIVITY MUST BE CARRIED
OUT IN WETLANDS. (INCLUDE ANY MEASURES TAKEN TO MINIMIZE WETLAND
IMPACTS): The landowners have given PEMC the ability to build this line
in a location that suits both them and PEMC away from an historic cemetery
to the south, and situated so the public would not have line-of-sight to
the substation. The main landowner has worked with PEMC to shift the
planned and granted R/W to eliminate any Zone 1 paralleling.
