This estimated measurement is from aerial and GIS information 4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* To stabilize the erosive stream conditions and provide cover over the exposed pipeline 41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* To stabilize the stream and protect the integrity of the pipeline, the proposed construction will realign the channel back to preexisting conditions prior to installation of the pipeline. The stream banks will be armored to maintain the channel and minimize erosive conditions. In addition, a grade controlling device will be constructed at the upstream limits and a 3 step pool drop structure will be constructed downstream at the ROW limits to maintain the stream invert and dissipate the water velocity. The step pool structure will create a natural riffle -pool scenario providing habitat to species. The upstream structure will be at an elevation of approximately 721'. The 3 step pool structure will constructed approximately 120 feet downstream. The top of the structure will be at approximately 720' and the drops will be 1 foot to tie the invert back to the existing stream invert. The pool will be approximately 1.5 FT deep and 15 FT in length. Armor Stone will be utilized for step pool and bank armoring construction. Armor Stone will be 500-2,000 Ibs in size. The step pool structures will be constructed to maintain a lowflow channel, and restore the stream to pre-existing conditions when the gas mainline was installed. Excavated material will be used to fill the existing channel as shown on these plans and seeded with native grasses. Stream banks will be graded to a 2:1 slope. Access to the stream will be via an existing dirt road from the property 680 Waynick Road previously used for logging. No trees will be removed to construct the stream restoration and Armor Stone will be installed as it is delivered to avoid removing trees for a stockpile area. A 360C caterpillar excavator or similar will be used to construct the project. 4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project. Trib to Haw River_ Conceptual Plans_11-25-2019.pdf 2.7MB 5.

Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: Since the pipeline is an existing infrastructure, impacts could not be avoided. The current stream morphology is flowing directly over 110+/- linear feet of exposed pipeline. Impacts have been limited to the greatest extent practical to provide protection to the exposed pipeline. Step pools were limited in length without jeopardizing the goal of mimicking a natural riffle -pool scenario and tying the stream back to the existing invert and the project was designed around the existing tree line. 1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: The proposed stream restoration allowed for the erosive conditions to be stabilized, provide adequate coverage over the pipeline, and minimize future stream migration. The construction of the project will be limited to within and immediately adjacent to the ROW. Step pool structures will be constructed from within the proposed stream channel to avoid impacts to the tree canopy. In addition, materials will be used as delivered to the site to avoid additional impacts to stockpile materials onsite. 2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State 2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State? r Yes r No 2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why: Project is stabilizing erosive stream conditions. F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) 1.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized, funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or 11/15/2019 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-00510 evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the web site often for updated information or changes If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects, before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles. Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/ comtow.html. Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7 consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/ We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species.

No trees will be removed to construct the stream restoration and Armor Stone will be installed as it is delivered to avoid removing trees for a stockpile area. IMPACTS: The proposed activities will permanently impact approximately 245 LF of perennial stream resulting in approximately 47.5 CY of fill placed below the plane of OHW to complete the proposed activities. An additional 80 LF of stream will be temporarily impacted to construct the restoration. *Conceptual plans for permitting purposes only. **Elevations are based on assumed datum and have been approximated from a cursory field investigation.
