Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A 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 proposed pipeline will be installed completely within an existing right-of-way. This will all but eliminate clearing and disturbance along the pipeline route. The only disturbance will be the trenching associated with the pipeline installation. Additionally, sedimentation and erosion control BMP's such as temporary sediment traps, silt fence, water bars (level spreaders), heavy equipment stream crossings, rock silt dams and stream bank stabilization will be implemented to prevent off-site sedimentation or any on-site erosion. Please note that this pipeline route is not necessarily the shortest available route for Piedmont Natural Gas, however it is the most environmentally friendly and economically viable option Page 7 of 13 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. 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.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. Piedmont Natural Gas' mitigation plan consists of streambank restoration designed To return all disturbed streams and their banks to the original preconstruction contours and conditions. Overall, Piedmont Natural Gas will disturb nine streams for a maximum total linear impact of 450 feet within the Catawba River Basin. This is a liberal assumption since the right-of-way is 50' wide. In most cases, a significantly reduced right-of-way width will be utilized at stream crossings in an effort to minimize in-stream disturbances. Site directions are provided in III-4 above. A vicinity may, topographic maps, and plan views of each stream crossing are also attached. The current site conditions consist of a moderately rolling topography crossing through a predominately rural residential and agricultural area. The proposed method of construction is trench and backfill. Page 8 of 13 2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration Program (NCWRP) with the NCWRP's written agreement. Check the box indicating that you would like to pay into the NCWRP. Please note that payment into the NCWRP must be reviewed and approved before it can be used to satisfy mitigation requirements. Applicants will be notified early in the review process by the 401/Wetlands Unit if payment into the NCWRP is available as an option. For additional information regarding the application process for the NCWRP, check the NCWRP website at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/wM/index.httn.

Pond Creation If construction of a pond is proposed, associated wetland and stream impacts should be included above in the wetland and stream impact sections. Also, the proposed pond should be described here and illustrated on any maps included with this application. Pond to be created in (check all that apply): ? uplands ? stream ? wetlands Describe the method of construction (e.g., dam/embankment, excavation, installation of draw-down valve or spillway, etc.): N/A Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond, local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A 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 aronosed pipeline will be installed completely within an existing right-of-way. This will all but eliminate clearing and disturbance along the pipeline route. The only disturbance will be the trenching associated with the pipeline installation. Additionally, sedimentation and erosion control BMP's such as temporary sediment traps, silt fence, water bars (level spreaders), heavy equipment stream crossings, rock silt dams and stream bank stabilization will be implemented to prevent off-site sedimentation or any on-site erosion. Please note that this pipeline route is not necessarily the shortest available route for Piedmont Natural Gas, however it is the most environmentally friendly and economically viable option Page 7 of 13 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. 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 http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmy,ide.html. 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 descri site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach a ate sheet if more space is nee e . Piedmont Natural Gas' mitigation pla consists- of streambank restoration designed will liberal assumption since the right-of-way is 50' wide. In most cases, a significantly reduced right-of-way width will be utilized at stream crossings in an effort to minimize in-stream disturbances. Site directions are provided in III-4 above. A vicinity map, topographic maps, and plan views of each stream crossing are also attached. The current site conditions consist of a moderately rolling topography crossing through a predominately rural residential and agricultural area. The proposed method of construction is trench and backfill. Page 8 of 13 2.

Page I of I A Pedestrian Survey for Wetlands and Protected Species Existing Piedmont Natural Gas Company Gas Pipeline Right-of-Way near Duan, North Carolina Catawba County VD ss ?F 010719 To satisfy the concerns regarding the potential presence of wetlands and protected species along the existing gas pipeline right-of-way (ROW), HDR Engineering, Inc. of the Carolinas (HDR) performed a pedestrian survey of the ROW on Tuesday, February 27, 2001. This survey is appropriate given the potential for streams and wetlands to cross the ROW, and the open, maintained habitat has the possibility of harboring protected species. Approximately 5 miles of ROW were surveyed, beginning at the existing regulatory station at Prison Camp Road in Duan, NC, traveling in a northwesterly direction, and ending at the existing regulatory station off of Old Latter Road near Startown, NC. General Overview Two environmental scientists from HDR and two employees from Piedmont Natural Gas Company (Piedmont) walked the ROW. The weather on February 28, 2001, was sunny and the temperature between 55-65°F. The vegetation and soils were mostly dry. The team looked for potential habitats for protected species and wetland areas along the ROW. General habitats will be discussed in a running dialogue of the ROW found below. Latin names included in this report are taken from Radford et al. 1968, Manual of the Vascular Flora of the Carolinas. Much of the current ROW is bordered by pine and mixed hardwood forests. It follows a hilly terrain and at times, goes through open fields and pasture areas. Currently, the entire ROW is an existing Piedmont ROW. The ROW areas are maintained on a regular basis by bush hog crews. There are no federally endangered species within Catawba County (County). The only species listed as federally threatened in this County is the Dwarf-flowered heartleaf, Hexastylis naniflora. The heartleaf, a wild ginger, was not found in any of the seep areas adjacent to streams that cross the ROW. Searches were conducted for other regional protected species, such as the Appalachian goldenbanner (Thermopsis mollis sense stricto), which is listed as significantly rare. No protected species were found. In addition, no wetland areas were found along the ROW. Most of the wooded sections consist of dry woods comprised of pine (Pinus echinata ), oak (Quercus rubra, Q. falcate, Q. alba), hickory (Carya spp.), beech (Fagus grandifolia), and sycamore (Platanus occidentalis). The under story consists of flowering dogwood (Corpus Florida) and young beech. The narrative report has been divided into sections that are made up of segments of the ROW bounded on either side by roads. The narrative begins at the southeastern end of the ROW and proceeds in a northwesterly direction. Hickory-Duan ROW Survey 1 March 2001 10703-004-018 Section 1- Existing Regulatory Station off of Prison Camp Road to the Railroad Tracks The proposed line will follow an existing ROW. This section is approximately 5,015 feet in length. In this section, the ROW runs through an open field and through North Carolina Department of Transportation property. It is bordered by pine forests (Pinus spp.) to the railroad tracks. Section 2 - Railroad Tracks to Old Highway 321 From the railroad tracks, which are out of service, the ROW is bordered by pine forests for 350 feet. Within this forested area, at approximately 200 feet, a small jurisdictional drainage crosses the ROW. The channel is approximately 2 feet wide and 3 feet deep and contains about 3 inches of water. At approximately 400 feet, the ROW is bordered on both sides by a mixed hardwood forest. The forested areas include the following species: red oak (Quercus rubra), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), hickory (Carya spp.), white ash (Faxinus americana), red maple (Acer rubrum), sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), and black walnut (Juglans nigra). A jurisdictional stream crosses the ROW at 550 feet. This drainage is approximately 5 feet wide and 6 feet deep and contains about 6 inches of water. As the ROW crosses the stream, the hardwood forest borders continue. On one side, a few houses and trailers border the ROW. From these houses, the ROW crosses a gravel driveway and follows another gravel drive to Old Highway 321. A white pine (Pinus strobus) forest borders this segment of the ROW. Section 3 - Old Highway 321 to Rome Jones Road From Old Highway 321, the ROW extends along a gravel drive. At 70 feet, a small outlet from a pond crosses the ROW. This jurisdictional channel is approximately 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep and contains about 1-inch of water. At 75 feet, there is a regulatory station. From there, the ROW passes through a small horse pasture bordered on either side by a pine forest. Section 4 - Rome Jones Road to Sigmon-Dairy Road This section spans 8,660 feet. The ROW runs through a horse pasture for 500 feet. The ROW is then bordered by hardwood species on the ridge and by pine species as the ROW descends in elevation. Before the ROW crosses Clark Creek, it is bordered by ash and river birch (Betula nigra). At 3,100 feet, Clark Creek, a medium-sized jurisdictional stream, crosses the ROW. This channel is approximately 30 feet wide and 15 feet deep and contains about 2 feet of water. Hickory-Duan ROW Survey 2 March 2001 10703-004-018 On the other side of Clark Creek, giant cane (Arundinaria gigantea) is present in the floodplain forest that borders the ROW. A water treatment plant is near Clark Creek, and the ROW crosses an open field area within the plant property at about 3,300 feet. At approximately 3,700 feet, the ROW exits the water treatment plant property. From there, the ROW is bordered on both sides by pine forest. Willow oak (Quercus phellos) and ground cedar (Lycopodium tristachyum) are also present within the forested areas. At 4,180 feet, the ROW crosses a small jurisdictional stream. This channel is approximately 2 feet wide and 1-foot deep and contains about 6 inches of water. From the stream, the ROW is bordered by mixed hardwoods for 500 feet. The ROW continues through an open field and is bordered on one side by a residential area off of McKay Road to Picnic Drive. The ROW passes through open fields and pasture areas for an additional 4,800 feet. The ROW then crosses a trailer park at 8,000 feet and continues to Sigmon-Dairy Road. Section 5 - Sigmon-Dairy Road to Highway 10 From Sigmon-Dairy Road to Shady Drive, the ROW passes through open fields and pastures (2,775 feet). At 1,730 feet, a small jurisdictional stream crosses the ROW. The channel is 2 feet wide and 5 feet deep and contains 3 inches of water. In the sub-section from Shady Drive to Bolick Drive, the ROW passes through a neighborhood. Because of the congestion, it is likely that the pipeline will follow the roads bordering the neighborhood and join up with the original ROW at Bolick Road. Both possibilities were examined, and no critical habitats were found. For the remainder of the section (Bolick Drive to Highway 10), the ROW passes through open fields and pastures. No jurisdictional drainages cross this section of ROW. Section 6 - Highway 10 to Old Latter Road From Highway 10, the ROW passes through an abandoned field until it crosses an unimproved road at about 750 feet. From there, the ROW is bordered by pine and mixed hardwoods forests for approximately 1,500 feet. White oak, hickory, and tulip poplar were among the species seen in the forested areas. At about 3,000 feet, a small jurisdictional stream crosses the ROW. This channel is approximately 2 feet wide and 1-foot deep and contains about 5 inches of water. The ROW is bordered by mixed hardwood species as it crosses two additional jurisdictional drainages. Beech (Fagus grandifolia) and oak (Quercus spp.) are among the trees observed in this section of forest. The two drainages occur at about 3,760 feet and 4,515 feet in this section. Hickory-Duan ROW Survey 3 March 2001 10703-004-018 The first of the additional channels is 1-foot wide and 1-foot deep and contains about 4 inches of water; the second is 3 feet wide and 2 feet deep and contains approximately 6 inches of water. From the last stream, the ROW extends through an open field to the regulatory station at Old Latter Road. Conclusions Most of the vegetation along this ROW is upland, early successional, or field associated. After checking the ROW and associated habitats, no populations of any protected species were found. Additionally, no populations of species rare to the flora of the County were found. Adjacent habitats not directly affected by the pipeline along streams, creeks, and rich slopes were not found to contain any rare or protected species or habitat for these species. Pipeline placed within the ROW currently stands to impact zero wetland areas. There are nine drainages that cross the ROW; however, they are small, with the exception of Clark Creek, and have no wetlands associated with them. Total impacts to streams will be approximately 50 linear feet. HDR concludes that the new pipeline construction within the existing ROW should be considered acceptable over the majority of the route, and impacts to the stream crossings can be minimized or avoided by careful construction planning.
