(Williams), S &ME, Inc. (S &ME) hereby submits this application for impacts to waters of the U.S. in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12 and the corresponding North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3884. Williams is planning for replacement construction of approximately 1,822 linear feet (if) of thirty -inch diameter natural gas pipeline in Guilford County, North Carolina, and will involve no loss of waters of the U.S. In support of this application, please find enclosed the following: • Figures: Site Vicinity Map, USGS Topographic Map, 2010 Aerial Photographs, Trench Detail, Stream Crossing Detail, and Wetland Crossing Detail • Appendix I: Completed Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) and Authorization to Act as Agent • Appendix II: Site Photographs • Appendix III: Land Exhibit Drawings • Appendix IV: Restoration Plan • Appendix V: Request for Jurisdictional Determination This PCN is being provided to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) for approval because the proposed project will require authorization of a work area (i.e., construction corridor) exceeding S &ME, INC / 9751 Southern Pine Boulevard / Charlotte, INC 28273 -5560 / p 704 523 4726 f 704 525 3953 / www smeinc corn Pre - Construction Notification S &ME Project No. 1357 -12 -017 B &C 2013 TRSP Replacements, Guilford County, N C. November 2, 2012 forty (40) feet in width within wetlands and across stream channels. A copy of the completed PCN and Agent Authorization Form is included in Appendix I. GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION AND PURPOSE Williams is planning to conduct various maintenance and regulatory compliance efforts in year 2013 for sections of pipeline within the purview of the Williams' Charlottesville Division, including Testing Replacement Smart Pig (TRSP) projects. Among those projects are sections of pipeline in Guilford County, North Carolina at Williams approximate milepost locations MP 1350 and MP 1351 (Figures 1 -3, A &B). Williams is planning to replace two sections of 30 -inch diameter natural gas transmission line near Kernersville, North Carolina with a new 30 -inch line. The project corridor at MP 1350 originates west of Crosscreek Road (36.1243° N, 80.0297° W), extends northeast for approximately 1,029 linear feet (if). The project corridor at MP 1351 originates west of Beeson Road (36.1352° N, 80.0189° W), extending northeast for approximately 793 If. The approximate location of the project corridors are depicted on the Site Vicinity Map (Figures 1 A and 1 B), as a portion of the Belews Creek, 2000 and 1977 Kernersville, N.C. USGS Topographic Quad Sheets (Figures 2A and 2B), and Aerial Photographs dated 2010 (Figures 3A and 3B). A majority of the project corridor extends through residential and vacant woodland. The purpose of the proposed project is to replace the existing natural gas transmission line with new pipeline that is compatible with current federal safety and inspection requirements. FIELD CONDITIONS S &ME personnel visited the project area on June 25, 2012 to delineate the jurisdictional boundaries in accordance with the USACE 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual Guidelines and corresponding Eastern Mountains and Piedmont 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 dithches) within the project corridors. 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. Field review identified two natural stream channels and one wetland area. Limits of the jurisdictional features were delineated by S &ME and subsequently identified with a Trimble global - positioning system (GPS) unit capable of sub -meter accuracy.

November 2, 2012 Data Forms, NCDWQ Stream Classification Form is being submitted to the USACE along with this permit package (Appendix V). A brief summary of the streams and wetlands identified during S &ME's delineation are described as follows: • MP 1350 — Stream S2 is approximately two feet wide, intermittent channel that is not depicted on the USGS topographic map. Gravel, sand and silt comprise the substrate with shallow vegetated banks. Approximately 701f were identified within the proposed work area. Wetland WB abuts stream S2. Vegetation consists entirely of emergent vegetation. Species observed included Chinese bush - clover (Lespedeza cuneata), giant cane (Arundinaria gigantean), various Sedges (Carex spp.) and common chickweed (Stellaria media). • MP 1351 — Stream S3 is approximately four feet wide, perennial channel that is identified as a tributary to Reedy Fork on the USGS topographic map. Gravel and sand comprise the substrate with rip -rap bank stabilization. Approximately 94 If were identified within the proposed work area. The proposed pipeline is located in the Piedmont physiographic province in the Cape Fear River Basin. Land use in the vicinity of the project corridor consists primarily of scattered residential areas which include landscaped or maintained lawns, roadway ROWs or lightly - developed areas. A portion of the land use within the existing corridor is dominated by maintained utility corridors. Although vegetation within such areas is varied, general species observed included winged sumac (Rhus copallina), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), blackberry (Rubus sp.), wineberry (R. phoenicolasius), sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), dandelion (Taraxacum offrcinale), Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota), ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), goldenrod (Solidago sp.), muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia), Deptford pink (Dianthus armeria ssp. armeria) and various grasses (Festuca spp.). Woody species observed along the periphery of the maintained utility easements included black cherry (Prunus serotina), sweetgum (Liguidambar styraciflua), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple (Acer rubrum), red oak (Quercus rubra), wax myrtle (Morella cerifera) and sugar maple (A. saccharum). Photos of the project corridor are included in Appendix II. DESCRIPTION OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY AND PROPOSED IMPACTS Williams proposes to conduct the construction activities entirely within a portion of their existing 150 -foot wide Right -of -way (ROW) easement. The project area limits of disturbance will be limited to the existing maintained easement and is the minimum width necessary in order to conduct the construction activity. Due to the large diameter of the pipeline segments being replaced (30 inches) and safety considerations, construction area limits of disturbance were evaluated and determined to be no more than 120 feet wide, required for equipment access, and 75 feet wide used for construction associated Pre - Construction Notification S &ME Project No. 1357 -12 -017 B &C 2013 TRSP Replacements, Guilford County, N.0 November 2, 2012 with replacement of the pipe segments. Typically, routine maintenance activities involving pipeline recoat or anomaly digs would require a construction width less than 75 feet wide. The Land exhibit drawings of the project corridors are included in Appendix III. Equipment (track -hoe, side -boom, bulldozer, dump truck, pick -up trucks) will access the construction areas using the existing easement where it crosses public roadways through an installed construction entrance. Construction will first involve removal of surface vegetation in a manner that minimizes soil disturbance. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures will be installed to prevent sedimentation of jurisdictional features as a result of the construction. Williams will excavate a segment of Main Line A at MP 1350 extending approximately 1,029 feet, and 793 feet at MP 1351. Excavation should only occur within the trench line. A trench detail is included as Figure 4. Following replacement of the new pipe segments, affected areas will be returned to its original grade and contour, seeding and mulching to restore the easement as closely as possible to pre - disturbance conditions. Areas within the wetland that are disturbed will be seeded with a customized wetland seed mix. Within the wetland area, timber mats or low- compression rubber -tired equipment will be employed to prevent rutting or soil mixing in the event saturated soil conditions are encountered. Total temporary wetland impacts resulting from activities within the construction easement (trench excavation, placement of mats, etc.) are estimated to be 0.45 acre. All of the affected wetland area will be restored, seeded with a native wetland seed mix and allowed to re- vegetate naturally upon completion of the project. A pre - construction and during construction wetland crossing detail are included as Figures 6A and 613, respectively. The project will temporarily impact approximately 701f of S2 stream channel and 94 if of S3 stream channel as a result of the pipe replacements. All stream work will occur "in- the -dry" by isolating the affected area via dam- and -pump or flume techniques. The affected banks will then be restored to their original grade and contour, stabilized with juke or similar matting and seeded. Replacement of rip -rap rock to insure proper stabilization will occur in areas where the rip -rap rock was temporarily removed in order to perform the construction. A pre - construction stream crossing detail is included as Figure 5A. A pump around and flume crossing detail is also included as Figures 5B and 5C, respectively. A post - construction stream crossing detail is provided as Figure 5D. Project impacts are depicted on the Site Map (Figures 3A and 313), and construction details are depicted on the Land Exhibit drawings (Appendix III). Pre - Construction Notification S &ME Project No. 1357 -12 -017 B &C 2013 TRSP Replacements, Guilford County, N.C. November 2. 2012 PROTECTED SPECIES AND CULTURAL RESOURCES Protected Species S &ME's consideration of potential protected species habitat began with review of existing records obtained from federal sources. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ( USFWS) list of federally protected species (updated September 22, 2010) was consulted for a listing of protected species documented within Guilford County, North Carolina. This review identified three protected species, one plant and two animals. Listed flora and fauna and their federal status are identified in Table 1. Explanations of rankings are included at the end of the table. Table 1: Federally Protected Flora and Fauna Summary Species Federal Status* County Status Habitat Present Hahaeetus leucocephalus Bald eagle BGPA Current No Etheostoma lepidinion Carolina darter FSC Current No Isotria medeoloides Small whorled pogonia T Current No BGPA = Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act; FSC = Federal Species of Concern, T = Threatened S &ME completed a field reconnaissance of the project area on June 25, 2012. This effort revealed the site consisted of maintained utilities and adjacent lawns. None of the three listed species were observed. Based on the level of recent and continued disturbance, the project sites are not considered to provide potential habitat for protected terrestrial species with a likelihood of occurring in Guilford County. Though the Carolina darter is not federally listed (federal species of concern) for Guilford County, the proposed project involves impacts to unnamed tributaries to Reedy Fork and will not impact streams that drain to those supporting known populations of Carolina darter. Accordingly, the proposed project is not anticipated to impact this species. A copy of this PCN and attachments will also be provided to the USFWS for that agency's comment on the proposed project. Cultural Resources S &ME reviewed the North Carolina Historical Preservation Office Online GIS Web Service (HPOWEB) for properties listed or potentially eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. No such properties were located within the vicinity of the project area. A copy of this PCN and attachments will be forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to provide an opportunity for comment on the proposed project. Pre - Construction Notification SWE Project No. 1357 -12 -017 B&C 2013 TRSP Replacements, Guilford County, N C. November 2. 2012 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION Williams has designed the proposed project at MP 1350 and 1351 to avoid and minimize impacts to waters of the U.S. to the extent practical. Construction activities will be limited to 75 -feet (MP 1350) and 70 -feet (MP 1351) through the wetland and stream areas (which are currently maintained), within the 150 -foot existing ROW, and is the minimum amount necessary to facilitate access for pipeline replacement construction in these areas. ADDITIONAL REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS Work will be conducted within the existing maintained easement. Excess material will be removed to a high ground disposal area. Temporarily - cleared areas will be restored with native vegetation in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (Appendix IV) upon completion of the work. Sediment and erosion control measures shall be consistent with the 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. The specifications for the design, installation, operation and maintenance of Best Management Practices will comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard. Sediment and erosion control measures placed in waters will be removed and the original grade restored within two months after the Division of Land Resources has released the project. Impacts have been avoided and minimized, and appropriate measures will be taken during construction to allow flow and circulation patterns of waters of the U.S. to remain unaffected. MITIGATION The project is proposed to result in temporarily impacting approximately 70 If of S2 stream channel and 941f of S3 stream channel with temporary wetland impacts estimated to be 0.45 acre. The proposed project has been designed for the purpose of meeting current federal natural gas pipeline safety and inspection requirements. Based on our experience with similar projects, we do not anticipate that compensatory mitigation for the proposed project is required. As proposed, the project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 12 and WQC No. 3884. However, the width of the construction area within the permanently - maintained ROW will exceed 40 feet in wetlands and at stream crossings. This is necessary due to the size of the equipment required for the construction activity as well as safety considerations. Following construction, affected jurisdictional areas will be restored to its original grade and contour. As proposed, the project will not result in permanent changes in pre - construction elevation contours or affect dimension, pattern or profile of affected streams. Cleared areas are proposed to be restored in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (Appendix IV) following completion of the work.

Project Description 3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: Land use in the vicinity of the project corridors consists primarily of scattered residential areas which include landscaped or maintained lawns, roadway ROWs or lightly - developed areas 3b List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: Approximately 0.5 acre 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property Approximately 164 linear feet; 70 -If S2, 94 -If S3 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The purpose of the proposed project is to replace the existing natural gas transmission line with new pipeline that is compatible with current federal safety and inspection requirements 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Equipment (track -hoe, side -boom, bulldozer, dump truck, pick -up trucks) will access the construction areas using the existing easement where it crosses public roadways through an installed construction entrance. Construction will first involve removal of surface vegetation in a manner that minimizes soil disturbance. Appropriate sediment and erosion control measures will be installed to prevent sedimentation of jurisdictional features as a result of the construction. Williams will excavate a segment of Main Line A at MP 1350 extending approximately 1,029 feet, and 793 feet at MP 1351 Excavation should only occur within the trench line Following replacement of the new pipe segments, affected areas will be returned to its original grade and contour, seeding and mulching to restore the easement as closely as possible to pre- disturbance conditions. Areas within the wetland that are disturbed will be seeded with a customized wetland seed mix. Within the wetland area, timber mats or low- compression rubber -tired equipment will be employed to prevent rutting or soil mixing in the event saturated soil conditions are encountered 4.

As part of mitigation for unavoidable impacts, the following plan is proposed for implementation to restore temporarily- affected wetlands and streams. This plan entails restoration of temporarily- disturbed areas to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Further, it specifies that disturbed wetland areas and streambanks will be permanently stabilized with a native vegetative cover. The measures outlined below will be specified in the contract documents prepared for construction of the proposed project. Proposed restoration activities include removal of temporarily - placed fill material and restoration of original pre- disturbance contours. Excavated material shall be returned to the trench to the extent possible, and remaining material relocated and retained on an upland site. Excavated topsoil shall be stockpiled separately and then replaced uniformly over the area of excavation from which it was removed. The native seed mix identified in Table 1 below shall be utilized within temporarily- disturbed portions of the corridor comprised of wetlands.

PROJECT LOCATION(S) AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Williams is planning to conduct various maintenance and regulatory compliance efforts in year 2013 for sections of pipeline within the purview of the Williams' Charlottesville Division, including Testing Replacement Smart Pig (TRSP) projects. Among those projects are sections of pipeline in Guilford County, North Carolina at Williams approximate milepost locations MP 1350 and MP 1351. The project corridor at MP 1350 originates west of Crosscreek Road (36.12430 N, 80.02970 W), extends northeast for approximately 1,029 linear feet (If). The project corridor at MP 1351 originates west of Beeson Road (36.13520 N, 80.01890 W), extending northeast for approximately 793 If.

REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): ❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date: ❑ Field Determination. Date(s) 1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site. Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in this instance and at this time. 2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non - reporting NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD 2 will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331, and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33 C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This preliminary JD finds that there "may be" waters of the United States on the subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information: SUPPORTING DATA.
