Dear Mr. Lastinger and Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of our client, Dominion Energy North Carolina (Dominion Energy), S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) hereby
submits this notification to inform you of work they plan to conduct in accordance with Nationwide
Permit (NWP) 12 and the corresponding North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 4133. The
project will involve the proposed installation of a natural gas pipeline within an existing NC Department of
Transportation (NCDOT) right-of-way (ROW).
The application and accompanying support information is being submitted through the NCDWR E-PCN

Written concurrence from the USACE is required because the project will require mechanized land
clearing of forested wetlands in order to establish workspace for installation of the pipeline. The project
will otherwise comply with applicable conditions of NWP-12.
Written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) is not required
because the project does not meet any of the notification thresholds identified in WQC 4133, and will
comply with all applicable conditions. Similarly, NCDWR approval for Neuse River Basin riparian buffer
impacts is not required because: 1) the pipeline will cross the subject stream channels at a near-
perpendicular angle; 2) the work will not disturb greater than 40 linear feet of the buffer and; 3) the work
will result in a maintenance corridor of 10 feet. Accordingly, this activity is identified as “exempt” by the
Neuse River Basin, and this PCN is being submitted to NCDWR as a courtesy.
General Project Information
Dominion Energy is currently planning a natural gas pipeline extension on Poole Road near Knightdale,
Wake County, North Carolina. The purpose of the project is to provide natural gas service and improve
system strength in the existing service area. The new pipeline will begin just east of Rutledge Landing
Drive and end at the junction of Old Hickory Road and Poole Road. The new pipe will consist of
approximately 11,432 linear feet of 8-inch diameter plastic natural gas pipeline and approximately 775
linear feet of 8-inch diameter steel natural gas pipeline. The pipeline is proposed for construction within
an existing ROW owned by the NCDOT, and in most areas the disturbed width will be approximately 10
feet. The project includes a proposed conventional crossing of Poplar Creek.
The general project location is depicted on the Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1). The project vicinity consists
primarily of a mixture of residential development and forested areas. The location of the project corridor
is depicted in greater detail on the appropriate U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map Exhibit
(Figure 2) and NRCS Soil Survey – Wake County Exhibit (Figure 3).
Description of the Proposed Work
The pipeline will be installed within a new 10-foot wide permanent easement. Additional temporary
workspace sufficient to accommodate an open-cut crossing of Poplar Creek will also be required.
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries,
and other associated workspaces, etc. Appropriate erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) measures
will be installed as clearing proceeds to help prevent sedimentation of adjacent jurisdictional features. No
grubbing or below-ground vegetation removal will occur within wetland areas. A small portion of forested
wetland in the existing NCDOT ROW may be temporarily impacted in order to accommodate the Poplar
Creek crossing.
Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary E&SC measures in upland areas, the
trench will be excavated along the “non-working” side of the easement. Lengths of the new pipe will be
trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the easement and placed on skids
(wooden pedestals). The pipe segments will be heat-welded together, inspected, and then lowered into
the trench. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and the trench will be
backfilled. Affected areas will then be “cleaned up” by rough-grading and temporary seeding (if
necessary), followed by final grading, permanent seeding and mulching to restore the easement as closely

as possible to pre-disturbance contours and conditions. All work within the wetland and at the stream
crossing will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permit conditions
Jurisdictional Areas
S&ME visited the project area on December 4, 2019 to delineate jurisdictional features located therein.
S&ME followed the procedures set forth in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and the
appropriate Regional Supplemental Guidance. Field conditions were documented using USACE Routine
Wetland Determination Data Forms, as appropriate. The field review also included identification of
tributaries (streams or jurisdictional ditches) within the project area. Drainage features identified during
the field review were assessed to determine the jurisdictional status of the tributary. Drainage features
were classified as either non-jurisdictional or jurisdictional. S&ME used the NCDWR Stream Classification
Form to document characteristics of identified drainage features on the day of the assessment. During the
site visit, the boundaries of regulated surface waters were demarcated using sequentially-numbered
flagging. The location of the jurisdictional features is depicted on Figures 4-13. Representative
Wetland/Upland Data Forms and typical photographs of the subject features were included with the
information submitted online.
Multiple jurisdictional features were identified within the proposed project area during the site visit. The
temporarily affected wetland within the project corridor is classified as a bottomland hardwood swamp.
Project-wide stream and wetland impacts are summarized in Table 1.

All of the proposed impacts are temporarily in nature, and no forested wetland will be converted to
herbaceous wetlands. Typical construction details (Figures D01-D06) are included with the information
submitted online with the E-PCN. Following construction, the temporarily affected jurisdictional areas will
be returned to their pre-construction grade and contour, seeded, and stabilized.
To determine which of the affected streams are subject to riparian buffer rules, S&ME conducted field
reviews of the project corridor as part of the delineation efforts. Those features that appeared on the most
recent version of the appropriate Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey or the appropriate
1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps, and scored greater than 19.0 points on the

NCDWR Stream Assessment Form (Version is 4.11, effective September 1, 2010) were considered subject
to the buffer. It should be noted that a feature that appears on the soil survey was not present in the field.
In such instances, DWR verification is typically required in order to “kick out” the feature. However, the
pipe will cross this location in the existing maintained NCDOT easement, where no vegetated buffer is
present, and an existing use is present and on-going, and will remain unchanged. Project-wide buffer
impacts are summarized in Table 2.
Table 2: Summary of Project-wide Riparian Buffer Impacts
Crossing Zone 1 (sf)Zone 2 (sf)Notes
B1 1,919 616
Exempt per 15A NCAC 02B .0233(3)(b) – Crossing to occur
within existing NCDOT ROW where existing use is present
and on-going. No change in use.
B2 1.847 485
Exempt per 15A NCAC 02B .0233(3)(b) – Crossing to occur

B3 2,295 1,256
Perpendicular crossing that disturbs equal to or less than
40 lf of riparian buffer with a maintenance corridor
equal to or less than 10 ft. in width.
6,061 2,357
The project will result in temporarily disturbance within buffers at the stream crossing locations. However,
the crossing associated with Polar Creek is considered exempt from the buffer rules because: 1) the pipe
will cross the stream and buffer at a near-perpendicular angle; 2) less than 40 linear feet of buffer will be
affected during construction, and; 3) the width of the new maintenance easement will be limited to 10
feet. Similarly, crossings B1 and B2 are exempt because they will occur within the maintained NCDOT
ROW, where no permanent vegetation removal is required, and the existing, on-going use (a maintained
easement) will not change.
During construction in the buffered area, Dominion Energy will limit grubbing and below ground
vegetation removal to the trenchline and those areas necessary to safely install the pipe. Efforts will also
be made to maintain diffuse flow through the buffer area. Upon completion of the work, affected portions
of the buffer will be restored, seeded, and mulched with a native riparian seed mix. In any areas where
additional workspace was required, portions of the easement outside of the 10-foot wide maintenance
corridor will be allowed to return to a forested state.
Protected Species
To determine the project’s compliance with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of
1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME conducted a search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) database to identify element occurrences (EOs) of such species listed as potentially occurring
near the project area. The NCNHP list was compared to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) service list. Additionally, S&ME personnel conducted a
pedestrian field review of the site in conjunction to locate potential habitat or the presence of protected
terrestrial species that were identified through the records review. The assessment did not include
sampling or a habitat assessment for aquatic or state-listed species.

The NCNHP provided a December 13, 2019 report that identified one record of red-cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis) within one mile of the site. The report did not identify additional records of
rare federal species, within one mile of the site. Property managed open space and a park by Wake
County and Knightdale is also identified within one mile of the route. The NCNHP report is included in the
accompanying information submitted with the online courtesy PCN.
Review of the NCNHP and the USFWS databases identified the following federally-protected species with
documented populations in Wake County (Table 3).

Based on pedestrian assessments conducted by S&ME, it was determined that the project corridor does
not contain suitable habitat for the following species: bald eagle, red-cockaded woodpecker, southern
hognose snake and bog spicebush. A summary of the remaining species terrestrial species, Michaux’s
sumac, is provided below.
Michaux’s Sumac
Status: Federally-Listed Endangered
Biological Determination: No Effect
Michaux’s sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub with erect stems approximately one to three feet in
height. The compound leaves are evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Flowers are
small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster and are greenish yellow to white in color. Michaux’s sumac

flowers between June and July and the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to
October.
Michaux’s sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils, surviving best in
areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. In North Carolina, observed
populations have been identified on highway rights-of-way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially
maintained clearings. It is commonly observed with species such as pitchfork crowngrass (Paspalum
bifidum), woodland sunflower (Helianthus divaricatus), Carolina fluffgrass (Tridens carolinianus), winged
sumac, green silkyscale (Anthaenantia villosa), skeletongrass (Gymnopogon sp.), and woolysheath
threeawn (Aristida lanosa). This species does not tolerate shade or wet soils.
Threats to this species include its low reproductive capability, a reduction in habitat due to fire
suppression and habitat destruction due to residential and industrial development. The project corridor
contains areas of potentially suitable habitat for the above species. However, no individuals of Michaux’s
sumac were observed. Based on our pedestrian field review, it is not anticipated that this project will
adversely affect populations of this species.
Poplar Creek is the only waterbody within the project corridor with potentially-suitable habitat for any of
the aquatic species listed for Wake County. Because the crossing of Poplar Creek is proposed as a
conventional installation, S&ME contracted Three Oaks Engineering to perform the appropriate aquatic
surveys. Three Oaks visited the site and conducted the aquatic survey on December 20, 2019. None of the
listed species were identified during the survey. Three Oaks determined that habitat within the Poplar
Creek was only marginally suitable, and the remaining tributaries were too small to support the species.
Three Oaks is currently formalizing the survey results in a written report, which will be provided to the
USACE upon its completion.
Copies of the NCNHP report is included with the information submitted online with the E-PCN. The Three
Oaks report will be submitted once it is finalized.
Historic and Archaeological Resources
To determine the project’s compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)
of 1966, S&ME reviewed the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS web mapping service, which
identified several sites within one mile of the project area. However, because the new pipe will be installed
within existing NCDOT easement, and no temporary workspace will be necessary in areas proximate to
these sites, the project should have no effect on historic resources.
Avoidance and Minimization
The proposed easement was routed to avoid wetlands and streams and utilizing areas that have been
previously developed (the NCDOT ROW) where practicable. At the wetland area, Dominion Energy
Dominion Energy plans to only maintain a 10-foot wide easement. At this crossing, Dominion Energy will
only require additional temporary workspace sufficient to safely install the pipe. At Poplar Creek, a dam-
and-pump system will be used to divert clean water flow around the work area until the crossing is
completed. Once work affecting the stream is initiated, it will be carried to completion in an expeditious
manner to minimize the period of disturbance. Typical details for a temporary coffer dam and pump
methodology for isolation of the trench excavation were included in the information submitted online
with the E-PCN.

Project BMPs used in connection with the conventional stream crossing include the following:
The crossings will be executed in as minimal amount of time necessary.
Sufficient equipment to execute the crossings in an expeditious, environmentally responsible manner
will be available on site prior to initiation of the crossing.
Efforts will be made to perform the crossings during anticipated low flow conditions.
Local weather conditions will be monitored such that, to the extent possible, stormwater events will
be avoided during and immediately following installation of the pipe.
The crossing will be monitored during installation by personnel experienced in stream crossing
procedures, familiar with site conditions, and knowledgeable of North Carolina environmental
regulations. The monitor shall have the authority to stop work should conditions change and
additional or different measures be needed.
The upstream and downstream portions of the crossing point will be sealed to isolate the crossing for
pipeline installation “in the dry.” Clean steel plates, sand bags, or similar measures will be inserted to
temporarily dam the flow. Steel plates will be cleaned prior to use on streams using biodegradable
products or heat. On both sides of the installed plates (both upstream and downstream) sandbags will
additionally be placed to secure the plates, reinforce the damming of water, and provide a secondary
barrier to seepage. The excavated trench will be monitored for groundwater intrusion and, if noted,
excess water will be pumped to a discharge site located 50’-100’ from the top of bank of the receiving
stream. Discharged water from the trench will be filtered through an appropriate E&SC measure.
The top 6-12 inches of streambed substrate will be stockpiled separately from the subgrade material
and kept saturated during the installation.
Pumps will be obtained and staged prior to executing the crossing. Back-up pumps shall be kept on-
site should the primary pump(s) malfunction, or to control high flows. All pumps will have screened
intakes and will be placed in secondary-containment for the duration of the installation. In the event
an unforeseen weather event occurs during installation, pumps near the crossing will be monitored
24-hours a day until normal flow conditions are present.
Pump flow rates will be monitored to ensure adequate flow is achieved such that water neither
accumulates behind the upstream dam nor is discharged too rapidly on the downstream side. At the
downstream discharge location, flow discharge rates shall be controlled such that scouring of the
stream bed and/or banks does not occur. Efforts will be made to aerate the water prior to its
downstream discharge into the receiving stream.
Removal of in-stream control devices will be conducted in such a manner as to allow a gradual re-
introduction of flowing water into the channel.
Banks will be restored in a careful manner, achieving pre-construction contours to the extent practical.
Affected streambanks monitored for stability following construction and for the duration of the
pipeline construction. Restoration will be considered complete when herbaceous vegetation reaches
80-percent coverage.
All disturbed areas within wetlands or on stream banks will be seeded with a customized seed mix
that will extend 10-feet landward of the jurisdictional boundary. Stream banks temporarily affected by
trenching will be stabilized with a native seed mix specifically designed for riparian areas, and with
biodegradable coir matting. The affected wetland area will be seeded with a native wetland seed mix;
however, no heavy mulching will occur within the wetland.
Construction equipment operating near the stream and the wetland area will be limited to that
necessary for excavation, pipe installation and restoration activities. Vegetation near the stream will be
cut at ground level, leaving existing root systems in place to promote re-growth.

Appropriate E&SC practices outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by the local governing authority shall be in
compliance with specifications governing the proper design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
such BMPs to comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard.
The project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 12 and WQC No. 4133. Following the work,
the affected areas will be restored to their original grade and contour. As proposed, the project will not
result in permanent changes to the ground surface elevation(s) in the proposed easement or permanently
affect the dimension, pattern, or profile of the subject streams. Temporarily affected areas are proposed
to be restored in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (submitted online with the E-PCN)
following completion of the work.
Mitigation
The project will not result in loss of wetlands or waters of the US. In addition, the project will not convert
forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands, and all affected areas will be restored to original grade and
contour. Therefore, purchase of wetland mitigation credit is not required.
The project will temporarily impact less than 150 linear feet of stream. No permanent stream impacts are
proposed. Stream impacts authorized under NWP 12 are considered temporary if the affected streams are
restored to original pre-construction contours once construction is completed, and do not involve the
permanent placement of hard armor. A general stream and wetland restoration plan was provided with
the information submitted online with the E-PCN. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that purchase of
stream mitigation credit will be required.
The project will cross three streams subject to Neuse River riparian buffer rules. Two of the crossings will
occur within an existing easement and will not result in a change in use. The third pipeline crossing
(Poplar Creek) will be installed in a perpendicular manner and impact less than 40 linear feet of buffer with
a maintained easement that does not exceed ten feet. Accordingly, these crossings are considered
exempt from the buffer rules, and do not require mitigation.

The purpose of the project is to provide natural gas service and improve system strength in the eAsting service area.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The pipeline will be installed within a new 10-foot wide permanent easement. Additional temporary workspace sufficient to accommodate an open -cut crossing of Poplar Creek will also
be required.
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries, and other associated workspaces, etc. Appropriate erosion and sedimentation
control (E&SC) measures will be installed as clearing proceeds to help prevent sedimentation of adjacent jurisdictional features. No grubbing or below -ground vegetation removal will
occur within wetland areas. A small portion of forested wetland in the wasting NCDOT ROW may be temporarily impacted in order to accommodate the Poplar Creek crossing.
Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary E&SC measures in upland areas, the trench will be excavated along the "non -working" side of the easement.
Lengths of the new pipe will be trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the easement and placed on skids (wooden pedestals). The pipe segments will be heat -
welded together, inspected, and then lowered into the trench. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and the trench Will be backfilled. Affected areas will then
be "cleaned up" by rough -grading and temporary seeding (if necessary), followed by final grading, permanent seeding and mulching to restore the easement as closely as possible to
pre -disturbance contours and conditions. All work within the wetland and at the stream crossing will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permit conditions
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

61. Comments:
The crossing associated with Polar Creek is considered exempt from the buffer rules because: 1) the pipe will cross the stream and buffer at a near -
perpendicular angle; 2) less than 40 linear feet of buffer Will be affected during construction, and; 3) the width of the new maintenance easement will
be limited to 10 feet. Similarly, crossings 131 and B2 are exempt because they will occur Within the maintained NCDOT ROW, where no permanent
vegetation removal is required, and the eAsting, on -going use (a maintained easement) Will not change.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
846.99KB
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed easement was routed to avoid wetlands and streams by utilizing a previously developed area (the NCDOT ROW).
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
At the wetland area, Dominion Energy Dominion Energy plans to only maintain a 10-foot wide easement. At this crossing, Dominion Energy will only
require additional temporary workspace sufficient to safely install the pipe. At Poplar Creek, a danrand-pump system will be used to divert clean water
flow around the work area until the crossing is completed. Once work affecting the stream is initiated, it will be carried to completion in an expeditious
manner to minimize the period of disturbance. See cover letter for additional information.
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:
The project will not permanently impact streams or wetlands.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) U
1. Diffuse Flow Plan

Restoration Plan
Rutledge Gas Pipeline Extension
Wake County, North Carolina
The proposed project has been designed to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts where practicable. As
part of mitigation for unavoidable impacts, the following plan shall be implemented to restore temporarily-
affected wetlands and the stream. This plan entails restoration of temporarily-disturbed areas to their
original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Unless otherwise
authorized by the appropriate permits, no fills or spoils of any kind will be permanently placed within
wetlands or along the stream banks. Further, disturbed wetland areas and streambanks will be permanently
stabilized using coir matting (with no plastic or nylon) and native vegetative cover.
Proposed restoration activities will include the removal of placed fill material and restoration of original pre-
disturbance contours. Excavated material shall be returned to the trench to the extent possible, and
remaining excess material relocated and retained on an upland site. Excavated topsoil will be stockpiled
separately, kept viable, and then replaced uniformly over the area of excavation from which it was removed.
The native seed mix identified in Table 1 below will be utilized within temporarily-disturbed streambanks and
riparian buffer areas.
Table 1: Riparian Seed Mix
Species Common Name Percentage Of Mix
Agrostis perennans Autumn bentgrass 15
Andropogon gerardii Big bluestem 10
Coreopsis lanceolata Lanceleaf coreopsis 10
Elymus virginicus Virginia wildrye 20
Juncus effusus Soft rush 5
Panicum virgatum Switchgrass 15
Rudbeckia hirta Blackeyed susan 10
Schizachyrium scoparium Little bluestem 5
Sorghastrum nutans Indian grass 5
Tripsacum dactyloides Eastern gamagrass 5
Riparian Seed Mix is to be applied to all disturbed streambanks and buffer areas. The recommended
application rate: 20 lbs. per acre.
The native seed mix identified in Table 2 below will be utilized within the temporarily-disturbed wetland
areas.
Table 2: Wetland Seed Mix
Species Common Name Percentage of Mix
Bidens aristosa Showy tickseed 7
Carex vulpinoidea Fox sedge 12
Dichanthelium clandestinum Deertongue 8
Elymus virginicus Virginia wildrye 20
Juncus effusus Soft rush 4
Panicum dichotomiflorum Smooth panicgrass 14
Panicum rigidulum Redtop panicgrass 8
Panicum virgatum Switchgrass 23
Polygonum pensylvanicum Pennsylvania smartweed 2
Sparganium americanum Eastern bur reed 2
Wetland Seed Mix is to be applied to the disturbed wetland areas. The recommended application rate: 20 lbs.
per acre. To provide quicker cover, the mixes specified in Tables 1 and 2 should also be augmented with the
appropriate cover/companion species, as identified in Table 3.
Table 3: Cover/Companion Crops
Species Common Season Mix Notes:
Secale cereale Cereal or
Winter rye
Early Spring or
Fall 30 lbs/acre Grows 3-4' tall, but not a strong a
competitor.
Lolium perenne Perennial rye Early Fall or
Spring 15 lbs /acre Shorter rye; lasts about 2 years,
then dies out.
Urocloa ramose Brown Top
Millet Spring, Summer 15 lbs / acre Good germination; dies off with
frost; does not tolerate mowing.
Substitutions to the riparian and wetland mixes identified in this restoration plan may be made with prior
approval. Any substitutions shall consist of appropriate native species.
Additional information related to streambank restoration activities is included on the Typical Stream and
Wetland Crossing Details. Riparian and wetland seed mixes are available at:

RE: Rutledge Pipeline; 7335-19-094
Dear Joey Lawler:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached ‘Potential Occurrences’ table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one-mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
easement, or Federally-listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Project Name: Rutledge Gas Pipeline Extension

Subject:List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. 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
01/07/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-01005   2

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/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/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. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 6 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheries , as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office
if you have questions.
