The project consists of constructing a new overhead 115 kV transmission line entirely within new, variable width right-of-way (ROW). The existing substations at either terminus are also proposed to be expanded to accommodate the new line. The new 115 kV line would provide service to the transmission system in the northern and eastern regions of North Carolina. Construction of the proposed Trowbridge - Pantego Line would add capacity, reliability, and redundancy to an area that is currently being served by the longest radial line on Dominion's transmission system. Dominion has coordinated with the North Carolina Utility Commission, and the project is not required to obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity due to the line voltage. The proposed line does not appear to have crossings of navigable water ways subject to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. However, it may have crossings of drainage/irrigation canals maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (USC Section 408). The installation of new transmission line support structures is expected to result in 0.04 acres of permanent impacts to wetlands for structure foundations, but no impacts are expected as a result of expanding either substation. In addition, because the project requires the clearing of new ROW, the project includes approximately 98.61 acres of palustrine forested wetland within the ROW which will be cleared by hand and allowed to regenerate to the scrub/shrub wetland. Of the forested wetland areas, approximately 72.40 acres are within timberlands currently managed for pine production and another 8.05 acres are on land previously cleared and replanted as pinelands. As ROW maintenance practices will not result in the permanent conversion of these areas to herbaceous wetlands, there does not appear to be a permanent loss of wetlands due to fill, excavation, flooding, or drainage, and therefore no compensatory mitigation is proposed. Furthermore, no impacts to threatened or endangered species, cultural or historic resources, or the 100 -year floodplain are expected. As the project is not expected to result in the loss of more than 0.5 acres of wetland, it appears to meet the terms and conditions under Nationwide Permit 12 from the US Army Corps of Engineers. On behalf of the applicant, Stantec is pleased to submit the enclosed Pre -Construction Notification (Appendix A) for agency review and approval.

Construction will begin at the Pantego Substation in Beaufort County off of Neck Road and terminate at the Trowbridge Substation in Washington County off of Cashie Street (Jurisdictional Area Impacts Map, Appendix B). The existing alignment crosses several major roads including U.S. Highway 64 and State Routes 32 and 99 (Figure 1; Appendix B). The project area is located within the Tar -Pamlico and Roanoke watersheds, Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUC) 03020104 and 03010107, respectively. The project area also appears to be within the Tar -Pamlico Nutrient Sensitive Waters Strategy Area for stormwater management and within counties managed under the Coastal Area Management Act. 1.2 PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED Dominion is a public service corporation organized under the laws of North Carolina to furnish electric service to the public within its service territory. In order to perform its legal duty to furnish adequate and reliable electric service, Dominion must, from time to time, construct new transmission facilities in its system. The activities proposed in this application are necessary so that Dominion can continue to provide reliable electric service to its customers, consistent with Dominion's own Transmission Planning Criteria. The line provides service to the transmission system in the northern and eastern regions of North Carolina. Construction of the proposed Trowbridge - Pantego 115 kV Transmission Line would add capacity, reliability, and redundancy to an area that is currently being served by the longest radial line on Dominion's transmission system. Currently, the nearly 44 -mile transmission line begins at Everetts Substation in Martin County and ultimately terminates at the Pantego Substation in Beaufort County. It serves approximately 11,000 customers, which includes a majority of Tideland Electric Membership Corporation and Edgecombe-Martin County Electric Membership Corporation members. This line is the only source of power for the area. Providing a direct connection from the Trowbridge to Pantego Substations will allow Dominion to create a looped system where electricity can be fed from two directions, increasing reliability of service during severe weather events. 1.3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The proposed project includes the expansion of the existing substations at Trowbridge and Pantego, the clearing of a newly acquired variable width right-of-way (ROW), and the construction of support structures, conductor wire, and static lines. To maintain the anticipated C► Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx TROWBRIDGE - PANTEGO 115 KV TRANSMISSION LINE in-service date of December 2018, Dominion is proposing to begin construction for the project in the summer of 2017 and is estimated to take approximately one year to complete. The installation of new structure foundations is expected to result in minor permanent impacts, as further detailed in Section 1.3.1. The ROW will be maintained as scrub -shrub, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Nationwide Permit 12 (NWP12). As such, there are no permanent impacts associated with the conversion of forested or scrub -shrub wetlands to herbaceous areas. No impacts are expected from expansion of the substations. Transmission Line Construction The proposed transmission line will be constructed using a combination of steel H -frame, 2 -pole, and 3 -pole support structures. Typical structure details are provided as Figure 3 in Appendix B. The structures will range in height from 52-87 feet (FT). New H -frames will consist of two legs, each with a separate foundation. These structures will either be directly embedded into the ground and backfilled with stone or feature a pipe pile foundation, dependent on soil type, tension, and angle. Pipe pile foundations will have a maximum diameter width of 6 FT, whereas the direct embed foundation will have a maximum diameter of 2.5 FT (Figure 3; Appendix B). Each foundation will be the minimum size necessary to provide adequate structural support and in many cases, will be less than 6 FT in diameter. Structures have been sited outside of jurisdictional areas to the maximum extent practicable; however, as a total of 60 proposed towers are required to be located within or immediately adjacent to wetlands, constructing these towers will result in permanent jurisdictional impacts for the installation of the foundations (Figure 2; Appendix B). Using the maximum diameter of each foundation type, permanent impacts to jurisdictional features are expected to total approximately 0.04 acres (Figure 2; Appendix B). Of these impacts 0.007 acres will be to palustrine emergent wetlands (PEM), 0.003 acres will be to palustrine scrub -shrub wetlands (PSS), 0.03 acres will be to palustrine forested (PFO) wetlands, and 28.3 square feet (SF) to jurisdictional ditch. No towers are proposed to be located within stream channels. 1.3.2 Construction Access and ROW Clearing/Maintenance Construction access for the line will generally be provided through private drives and state roads. Timber mats and specialized low -ground pressure equipment will be used, as necessary, to minimize disturbance and avoid impacts to wetlands for access during construction. Most stream crossings will be avoided by accessing the proposed structure locations from either side of the stream, as is the case with the tributary to Welch Creek, Conaby Creek, the large canal along Railroad Bed Road, and the intercepting canal which serves as a tributary to Cuckolds Creek. However, in areas where stream crossings are necessary within the proposed ROW, streams will be bridged with no in -stream structures using either crane mats or temporary bridges where possible. The proposed access routes have been located outside of wetlands and waters of the United States (WOUS) where practicable. No impacts to WOUS are expected as a result of construction access at this time. C► Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx 1.2 TROWBRIDGE - PANTEGO 115 KV TRANSMISSION LINE The variable width ROW is proposed to be 100 -FT wide in all locations except across active silvicultural lands, where the proposed with is 200 -FT. The additional width across this area is needed given the existing land use and potential for tall trees, known as danger trees, to strike the line. The proposed variable width ROW will be mechanically cleared in uplands and selectively hand -cleared in wetlands. All vegetation will be cut to ground level for construction. At individual support structure locations, roots and stumps will need to be removed for the installation of the foundation but otherwise no grubbing will occur along the ROW. Upon completion of the project, the ROW will be reseeded with a native plant mix and allowed to naturally revegetate to scrub -shrub. Within the ROW, there are approximately 98.61 acres of PFO wetland which will be permanently maintained as scrub -shrub. Approximately 72.40 acres of those areas are within timberlands managed for pine production (Structures 1020/37-1020/80 and 1020/84-1020/26, Sheets 5-11, Figure 2, Appendix B). An additional 8.05 acres has been severely altered by man, as the land appears to have been cleared and replanted as pinelands (Structures 1020/19- 1020/24, Sheet 4, Jurisdictional Area Impacts Map, Appendix B). These properties, although containing PFO wetland, are cleared at regular intervals to create silvicultural products such as softwood lumber, pulp, paper and packaging products and are characterized as mineral flat regenerative pine communities. As the project is expected to exceed one acre of disturbance and may result in a minor increase in impervious surface due to the substation expansions, an erosion and sediment control (ESC) plan and stormwater management plan will be prepared and submitted to the State for approval. Appropriate ESC measures will be installed and maintained throughout the project during all clearing and construction activities. Temporary stabilization for all soil disturbing activities will be used until the ROW has been restored. Trees located outside of the maintained portion of the ROW that are tall enough to potentially impact the transmission facilities, commonly referred to as danger trees, may need to be removed. Danger trees will be cut ground level and no grubbing will occur. The ROW will continue to be maintained on a regular cycle to prevent interruption to electric service and provide ready access to the ROW in order to patrol and make emergency repairs. Periodic maintenance to control woody growth will consist of continued hand cutting, machine mowing, and select herbicide application. The ROW will be maintained such that vegetation naturally regenerates as scrub -shrub, outside of those areas previously maintained as herbaceous, such as agricultural fields, yards, and mowed roadside areas. .3.3 Substation Expansion The substation expansion areas at both Trowbridge and Pantego are identified on the Jurisdictional Area Impacts Map in Appendix B. Activity at these two sites includes grading and the installation of electrical infrastructure. The expansion area will be overlain with rock and surrounded by a security fence. As there are no jurisdictional features within these areas, no impacts to wetlands or other WOUS are expected. ® Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx 1.3 TROWBRIDGE - PANTEGO 115 KV TRANSMISSION LINE :.0 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS Dominion conducted a routing and siting analysis to identify the proposed route for the Trowbridge - Pantego 115 kV Transmission Line. The overall objectives of the routing process were to minimize impacts to existing land uses, including Plymouth Municipal Airport and Van Swamp Game Lands; minimize impacts to environmental resources; maximize distance from residences; minimize visibility; and avoid circuity to reduce the total length of the line. As a product of the routing analysis, three alternative routes were identified, including Alternative A, Alternative B, and the proposed route, Alternative C (Figure 4; Appendix B). The majority of the study area consists of agricultural and silvicultural lands with areas of residential development to the north at Plymouth, south at Pantego, and along major roads within the study area. With about half of the study area being cleared agricultural lands, the major constraints within the study area included Plymouth Municipal Airport, Van Swamp Game Lands, and large tracts of silvicultural lands. In the northern portion of the study area, a height restriction ordinance associated with Plymouth Municipal Airport divided the project area into western and eastern corridors to go around the airport. All three alternatives originate at the Trowbridge Substation and follow roughly the same corridor, paralleling Cashie Street, an existing railroad. Alternative A and the proposed route parallel an existing gas line along the west side of Ken Trowbridge Road that features a perpendicular crossing of a tributary to Welch Creek while Alternative B roughly parallels the east side of Ken Trowbridge Road where it nearly parallels the same tributary. Each of the routes meets again and features the same crossing of US Route 64. From this point, Alternative A continues south and west to go around the airport, whereas Alternative B and the proposed route veer east and then south to go around the airport. Upon crossing US Route 64, Alternative A continues south before turning west to cross Long Ridge Road and second tributary to Welch Creek. Alternative A takes this westerly jog and then turns to the south where it roughly parallels the west side of Long Ridge Road to avoid residential development. As the residential development becomes more sparse and the alignment is south of the height restriction ordinance, Alternative A turns to the east and south following existing logging roads across timberlands and Van Swamp Game Land. Upon crossing NC Route 32, the alignment parallels an existing agricultural canal until its intersection with Alternative B and the proposed route. From there, all three alternatives follow roughly the same corridor to the southeast and then south to the Pantego Substation. Of its approximately 24.2 -mile -long path, Alternative A crosses approximately 9.4 miles of forested land, 2.7 miles of NWI forested/shrub wetland, 3.2 miles of state owned land (Van Swamp Game Lands), and is located within 500 FT of approximately 108 residential or commercial buildings (Table 1) . Alternatives B and C follow similar paths for the majority of their alignment, with Alternative B passing around Plymouth Municipal Airport further north and east than Alternative C. Once these alternatives turn to the south, passing east of the airport, they cross silvicultural lands and 5 Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx 2.1 TROWBRIDGE - PANTEGO 115 KV TRANSMISSION LINE diverge in their alignments again as they approach NC Route 32. Alternative B crosses NC 32 further to the north than Alternative C and then parallels NC 32 to the south where the two alternatives rejoin in alignment. In this area, Alternative C, rather than paralleling NC 32, continues through sylvicultural lands and crosses NC 32 in an area further from residences. At NC 32, both alternatives rejoin in alignment and parallel existing canals and roads in a southeasterly direction until reaching the Pantego Substation. Between NC 32 and Pantego Substation, Alternative B and the proposed route diverge and rejoin again in a few locations due to micro - constraints. Along its approximately 23.8 -mile -long path, Alternative B crosses approximately 6.8 miles of forested land, 0.8 miles of NWI forested/shrub wetland and is located within 500 FT of approximately 113 residential or commercial buildings (Table 1). The alignment of Alternative C is approximately 24.0 -miles -long' and crosses approximately 7.1 miles of forested land, 1.0 miles of NWI forested/shrub wetland and is located within 500 FT of approximately 126 residential or commercial buildings. Neither Alternative B or C cross any state-owned land. Table 1.

Each of the alternatives identified parallels existing linear infrastructure, where feasible, to minimize further impacts to land use, and cross jurisdictional features near previously disturbed locations rather than in new locations. Compared to Alternatives B and C, Alternative A crosses the greatest distance of NWI forested/shrub wetland, forested land, and also requires an approximately 3.2 - mile crossing of Van Swamp Game Lands. While Alternatives B and C are similar in many regards, Alternative C features a perpendicular crossing of the tributary to Welch Creek adjacent to a previously impacted area, compared to Alternative B which crosses the tributary obliquely, nearly paralleling it, in what appears to be a previously undisturbed location. Ultimately, Alternative C was selected as the proposed route because it best meets the overall objectives identified in the routing process. These three alternative routes were presented at two public workshops held by Dominion in April of 2016 as well as Board of Supervisor Meetings in Beaufort and Washington Counties. Lam' Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx 2.3 TROWBRIDGE - PANTEGO 115 KV TRANSMISSION LINE 3.0 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION Since approval from the North Carolina Utility Commission is not required, Dominion does not have the power of eminent domain with which to acquire ROW for the project. Upon selection of the proposed route, Dominion worked with individual landowners to secure voluntary easements across their property. As such, landowner willingness to provide an easement greatly constrained the final alignment of the proposed route. Dominion has worked with landowners over the last year to develop easement agreements which minimize environmental impacts and impacts to existing land uses on their property. For example, the alignment across the middle portion of the project varies significantly from what was presented at the open houses. Dominion has worked with Weyerhaeuser Company in this area to provide an alignment across their timberlands that minimizes impacts to their silvicultural activity but also overlap with existing access corridors to minimize the amount or ROW clearing needed for the project and avoid fragmenting large tracts of forested land. Unavoidable impacts to wetlands and other WOUS have been minimized to the extent practicable. In accordance with NWP12, construction within WOUS for the proposed project will be limited to the minimum required area to construct support structures and string conductor wires. Impacts to jurisdictional features are expected from placement of the structure foundations; however, foundations will be the minimum size necessary to provide support and will consist of individual foundations for each leg rather than a single concrete pad. Where possible, proposed structures have been sited outside of wetlands and no structures will be located within stream channels. Initial plans called for structures 1020/5, 1020/10, 1020/49, 1020/68 and 1020/85 to be within wetlands; however, these structures were relocated outside of jurisdictional features to avoid impacts. Within the ROW, timber mats will be used in wetland areas and stream channels will be bridged using timber or crane mats to further avoid and minimize impacts. This project is not expected to impact public water supply, any shellfish harvesting area, spawning grounds, waterfowl habitat; nor jeopardize threatened or endangered species, of which we are aware; nor disrupt the movement of aquatic life. Therefore, this activity will not cause or contribute to the significant degradation of WOUS, adversely or substantially affect human health or welfare; life stages of organisms dependent upon the aquatic ecosystem; ecosystem diversity, productivity, or stability; nor significantly degrade recreational, aesthetic, or economic values.

This permanent fill includes approximately 0.007 acres of PEM, 0.003 acres of PSS wetland, 0.03 acres of PFO wetland, and 28.27 SF of jurisdictional ditch. In addition, because the project requires the clearing of new ROW, the project includes approximately 98.61 acres of PFO wetland within the ROW which will be selectively cleared by hand and allowed to regenerate to the scrub -shrub level. Of the PFO wetland areas, approximately 72.40 acres are within silvicultural lands intensively managed for pine production, characterized as mineral flat regenerative pine communities (Structures 1020/37-1020/80 and 1020/84-1020/26, Sheets 5-11, Figure 2, Appendix B). An additional 8.05 acres have been severely altered by man as the land appears to have been cleared and replanted as pinelands; however, it is unknown if this is area is actively managed silvicultural land (Structures 1020/19- 1020/24, Sheet 4, Figure 2, Appendix B). As ROW maintenance practices will not result in the permanent conversion of these areas to herbaceous wetlands, there does not appear to be a permanent loss of wetlands due to fill, excavation, flooding, or drainage, and therefore no compensatory mitigation is proposed.

Wetland flags were placed in the field and sequentially numbered to provide an on-site record of the delineation. A request for a preliminary jurisdictional determination is being submitted to the Corps as part of this Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) and is included as Appendix C. In total, approximately 136.57 acres of wetlands, 670 LF (0.13 acre) of stream channel, 1,078 LF (1.23 acre) of jurisdictional canal, 51,976 LF (7.56 acres) of jurisdictional ditch, and 0.26 acre of open water were identified within the project area. These features are reflected on the Jurisdictional Area Impacts Map in Appendix B (Figure 2). In accordance with the conditions outlined in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin: Nutrient Sensitive Waters Management Strategy Regulations, the proposed project appears to be an exempt activity under the buffer management regulations as Dominion standard practices are compliant with the best management practices set forth in the regulations. Stantec will conduct a buffer determination with Mr. Anthony Scarbraugh of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Division of Water Resources to evaluate whether or not the project is exempt or allowable. 5.2 THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES The United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Raleigh Ecological Services online project review process was used to evaluate potential effects to federal and state listed threatened and endangered species from the proposed project. The review process searched the following databases: the USFWS Information, Planning and Conservation System and the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. A species conclusion table was prepared and is enclosed in Appendix D with the database search results; the results are summarized below in Table 2. Based on the scope of work, no adverse effects to any threatened or endangered species are expected from the proposed project. 5 Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx 5.1 TROWBRIDGE - PANTEGO 115 KV TRANSMISSION LINE Table 2.

With these measures, adverse effects to listed aquatic species or anadromous fish use streams are not be expected. Clearing of ROW is required for this project; however, no northern long-eared bat hibernacula or known maternity roost trees occur within Washington or Beaufort County. This clearing is proposed to take place without time -of -year restrictions.

The proposed project qualifies for Alternative Local Procedure Situation 2 as the project is not located in a red HUC, there will be no blasting, and there are other threatened and endangered species potentially within the project area. The transmission line, after initial clearing, will be regularly maintained at the scrub -shrub level for facility operation. Following USFWS guidance for project reviews, no maternity roost trees or hibernacula for the northern long-eared bat were identified in the vicinity of the project according to the letter received from the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program. A self -certification letter has been prepared along with a species conclusion table relying on the findings of the final 4d rule (Appendix D). Sensitive joint -vetch and red knot both require tidal flat environments. Suitable habitat does not appear to be present within the project area as the nearest tidal systems are to the northwest along Welch Creek and south along Cuckolds Creek. The pineland within the project area is young, and therefore, unsuitable habitat for the red -cockaded woodpecker. Impacts to this species is not expected. Suitable habitat may exist within the project area for the red wolf. An experimental population of the red wolf is known to occur in both Washington and Beaufort Counties; however no impacts to this species are expected given the nature of the project. Likewise, the rough -leaved loosestrife also has potential habitat within the project area. The loosestrife prefers scrub -shrub wetland environments. The only existing scrub -shrub wetlands within the study area is located within areas previously cleared and allowed to regenerate to the scrub -shrub level. As the ROW will be maintained at the scrub -shrub level after completion of the project, no impact to this species or its potential habitat are expected. 5.3 CULTURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES Stantec prepared a cultural resource assessment entitled Archaeological Identification and Evaluation and Phase I Architectural Survey of Approximately 39.8 Kilometers (24.8 Miles) Associated with the Trowbridge- Pon tego Transmission Line Project in Washington and Beaufort Counties, North Carolina. Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 describe the preliminary findings in the Phase I analysis for architectural and archaeological resources, respectively. In summary, the survey did not find any architectural resources within 0.5 miles of the ROW or listed, eligible, or potentially eligible archaeological resources within the ROW. A complete hard copy of the Phase I survey inclusive of site survey forms has been prepared for the State Office of Archaeology and State Historic Preservation Office standards, and Stantec is prepared to submit the report on behalf of the Corps upon its review of this PCN. A hard copy of the report is included in Appendix E. 5.3.1 Architectural Resources A total of 37 architectural resources were surveyed, 35 in Beaufort County and 102 in Washington County. Of the resources surveyed in each county, four in Beaufort County were previously recorded with three previously recorded resources located in Washington County, including the Little Richwood Development. Most were domestic in nature and comprise early to 5 Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx 5.3 TROWBRIDGE - PANTEGO 115 KV TRANSMISSION LINE mid -twentieth century dwellings and associated outbuildings. Non-domestic resources surveyed during the current survey included six commercial buildings, one church, four cemeteries, and two transportation related resources. The survey also documented 27 resources within the Little Richwood Development. Although the resources surveyed are generally reflective of the mid -nineteenth to mid -twentieth century development of Beaufort and Washington counties, the resources lack direct and/or important associations under Criterion A, B, or C for historical significance necessary for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRNP). As such, it is recommended that the resources are not individually eligible for listing on the NRHP. Criterion D, typically associated with archaeological sites, was not considered applicable in regard to the architectural survey. 5.3.2 Archaeological Resource Stantec conducted systematic subsurface testing of the project corridor using shovel tests. Test locations were placed between 23 meters (75.4 FT) and 30 meters (100 FT) apart along transects spaced 15 meters (49.2 FT) apart due to the low probability of most of the survey corridor to retain cultural deposits. In areas exhibiting 50 percent or greater ground surface visibility, systematic pedestrian survey was employed. Pedestrian survey was supplemented with the excavation of shovel tests at 30 -meter (100 FT) intervals, except in areas exhibiting 100 percent surface visibility. A total of 1,882 shovel tests were excavated within the survey corridor, with eight shovel tests positive for cultural material. A total of 1,621 shovel tests were not excavated due primarily to the presence of canal berms, wetlands, standing water, and tree farming disturbances. Sixteen radial shovel tests were excavated at 1 1.5 -meter (37.73 -FT) intervals to determine the bounds of newly identified cultural resources. Three radial shovel tests were positive for additional cultural material. Five new isolated archaeological finds (31 BF432, 31 BF433, 31 WH64, 31 WH65, and 31 WH66) were identified during this investigation (Table 3). None were determined eligible for listing on the NRHP.

Although portions of the project are located within the 100 -year floodplain, no adverse effects to the floodplain are expected as the project will not alter the surface elevations or hydrologic characteristics of the area. Grading and site development associated with the expansions of Trowbridge and Pantego Substations are not located within the floodplain. ® Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx 5.5 CONCLUSION As proposed the Trowbridge - Pantego 1 15 kV Transmission Line project is expected to result in permanent, unavoidable impacts to approximately 0.04 acres of wetland for the installation of new transmission line support structures (Figure 2, Appendix B). The project also includes selective hand clearing of approximately 98.61 acres of palustrine forested wetland within the ROW which will be maintained as scrub -shrub wetland in accordance with the General Conditions of NWP12. As ROW maintenance practices will not result in the permanent conversion of these areas to herbaceous wetlands, there is no permanent loss of wetlands due to fill, excavation, flooding, or drainage, and therefore no compensatory mitigation is proposed. Dominion has also coordinated with the North Carolina Utility Commission and the project is not required to obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity due to the line voltage. The proposed line does not appear to have crossings of navigable water ways subject to Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. However, it may have crossings of drainage/irrigation canals maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers under Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (USC Section 408). A copy of this PCN is being submitted under separate cover to the North Carolina Department of Environmetal Quality in accordance with the terms of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification Number GC4086 for NWP12. ® Stantec wn u:\203400630\05_report_deliv\draft_doc\rpt_pcn_20170412.docx 6.1 APPENDIX A PRE -CONSTRUCTION NOTIFICATION a`'�F wArE�Q� fl Y Office Use Only: Corps action ID no.

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 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/eaglc_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/migratorvbirds/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. 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.

HAMILTON NCNHDE-2946 The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above. A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map. 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 and is included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. 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. Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.

Occasional individuals reach Bermuda, the Azores, and European waters (see USFWS 1992, 1998). Important foraging areas include Campeche Bay, Mexico, and Louisiana coastal waters (Ogren 1992). Cold -stunned juveniles frequently appear in late fall/early winter on beaches on northern Long Island, New York (e.g., see Burke et al. 1991, Morreale et al. 1992). Live ridleys occur in Chesapeake Bay mainly from May through November (Mitchell 1991). There is a single major nesting beach, at Rancho Nuevo, Tamaulipas, Mexico; 60 percent of nesting occurs along a 40 -kilometer stretch of beach there (NMFS and USFWS 2007). In 2006, eggs were deposited in several hundred nests near Tampico, Mexico, and in about 100 nests in Texas (NMFS and USFWS 2007). Sporadic nesting has occurred as far north as North Carolina and south to Colombia (Palmatier 1993). Area of Occupancy: 26-2,500 4 -km2 grid cells Area of Occupancy Comments: Coded area of occupancy is based on nesting areas, which encompass probably not more than a few hundred square kilometers, most nesting occurs in an area of less than 100 square kilometers (based on the 2 km x 2 km grid system). Number of Occurrences: 1 - 5 Number of Occurrences Comments: Despite occurrence of this species throughout the Gulf of Mexico and in much of the northern Atlantic, there remains only a single important nesting area. Population Size: 10,000 - 100,000 individuals Population Size Comments: Total number of nests for all beaches in Mexico in 2006 was estimated at 12,143, with another 100 in the United States (mainly Texas) (NMFS and USFWS 2007). This equates to more than 4,000 females. Given a nesting interval of about 2 years or a little less, the total number of adult females in 2006 was approximately 7,000-8,000. In 2007, more than 4,000 females nested during a 3 -day period at Rancho Nuevo Number of Occurrences with Good Viability/Integrity: Very few (1-3) Overall Threat Impact: Very high - high Overall Threat Impact Comments: A major decline occurred with heavy harvest of eggs (and adults) prior to the mid-1960s, but now all main nesting areas have good protection. Present significant threats: beach and coastal development in areas away from the main nesting beach; various forms of coastal marine habitat degradation (e.g., bottom trawling and dredging of inshore and nearshore areas); mortality in shrimp nets and other fishing gear (this threat has been reduced to some degree through improved regulations); boat collisions, oil spills and exposure to other contaminants, and entanglement in and ingestion of marine debris (especially plastics) (Thompson 1990; CSTC 1990; USFWS 1992, 1998; NMFS and USFWS 2007). Threats to the main nesting beach in Mexico are presently few, but other areas in Mexico where nesting occurs are experiencing continued human population growth and increasing development pressure (USFWS 1992, 1998). Concentration of nesting in one area makes the species vulnerable to detrimental impacts of severe storms. The species' tendency to congregate in large numbers at breeding times increases vulnerability to disturbance. Climate change is a potential threats (could alter sex ratios, sea level rise and increased storm frequency could reduce nesting habitat). Short-term Trend: Decline of >70% Short-term Trend Comments: Annual number of nests at Rancho Nuevo increased significantly after the 1980s, from fewer than 1,000 to more than 4,000 by 2002 and 7,866 in 2006 (see NMFS and USFWS 2007). Despite the recent increase, the trend over the past three generations (75 years, assuming average age of nesting female is 25 years) is a major decline (probably declined more than 90 percent). Long-term Trend: Decline of >90% Long-term Trend Comments: Number of nesting females declined from possibly more than 42,000 in a single arribada in the 1940s to only around 234 (740 nests) by the mid-1980s to 7,000-8,000 in 2006 (NMFS and USFWS 2007). However, the 1940s population may have been an order of magnitude smaller (see NMFS and USFWS 2007). Intrinsic Vulnerability: Highly vulnerable Environmental Specificity: Very narrow to narrow. Other NatureServe Conservation Status Information Inventory Needs: Nesting areas are well known (but need continued monitoring). Better information is need on important developmental habitats. Protection Needs: This species is in need of continued protective fishing regulations (e.g., use of Turtle Excluder Devices, restriction of tow times, fishing closures) in the Gulf of Mexico and southeastern U.S. Atlantic coast. Increased protection of Rancho Nuevo beach should be funded. Strict standards and limitations on any potentially polluting activity, including disposal of plastics at sea, should be insituted. Lagoonal/estuarine feeding habitats need protection. Sronger limitations on outer continental shelf drilling and oil tanker design and traffic should be imposed. Designated critical habitat should be expanded. See recovery plan (USFWS 1992, 1998). Global Range: Adults essentially are restricted to the Gulf of Mexico. Immatures inhabit the Gulf and also the U.S. Atlantic coast north to Long Island Sound (Morreale et al. 1992), New England, and Nova Scotia.

C General Description: This is a sea turtle with an almost circular carapace, olive green (adults) or gray (young) above, yellow below, 5 costals on each side of carapace, the first one touching the nuchal; usually 4 enlarged scutes on bridge, with a single pore at the posterior edge of each scute, usually there is an interanal scute at the posterior tip of the plastron; beak is somewhat parrotlike; young have 3 tuberculate dorsal ridges, four plastral ridges; limbs are flattened flippers; adult carapace length usually 58-70 cm (to 75 cm), mass 36-45 kg (to 50 kg); 3.8-4.4 cm at hatching (Conant and Collins 1991). Diagnostic Characteristics: This species differs from the loggerhead in smaller size, lack of a reddish -brown dorsum, presence of an interanal scute, and presence of pored scutes on the bridge. It differs from the hawksbill and green turtles in having the first costal in contact with the nuchal. It differs from the Pacific ridley in having usually five costals on each side of the carapace rather than usually six or more. Reproduction Comments: Individual adult females lay usually 3 clutches averaging about 95-100 eggs at intervals of 10-28 days, during daylight from April to July. Individual females nest at intervals of 1-4 years (most often 2 years). Large numbers of females may nest simultaneously on one beach. Eggs hatch in 45-58 days (see NMFS and USFWS 2007). Available information indicates that females begin nesting at an estimated age of 10-17 years (see NMFS and USFWS 2007). As is true of all sea turtles, this species has temperature -dependent sex determination. Ecology Comments: Predation on eggs (especially by coyote), hatchlings, and nesting adults sometimes has resulted in high mortality rates. Human predation on eggs and nesting adults formerly was an important mortality source; presently, drowning of adults in commercial fishing gear is more important. Egg survivorship (to hatching) was 0.59 in one study (see Iverson 1991). Non -Migrant: N Locally Migrant: N Long Distance Migrant: Y Mobility and Migration Comments: Most individuals move north or south from the major nesting beach at Rancho Nuevo and then settle in resident feeding areas for several months or more in various coastal locations in the Gulf of Mexico (see NMFS and USFWS 2007). An unknown percentage of the population migrates migrates up to thousands of kilometers between nesting beaches and Atlantic coastal feeding areas as far north as Long Island Sound, New York (Morreale et al. 1992; Morreale and Standora, no date), and beyond. Marine Habitat(s): Near shore, Pelagic Estuarine Habitat(s): Bay/sound, Tidal flat/shore Terrestrial Habitat(s): Sand/dune Special Habitat Factors: Benthic, Burrowing in or using soil Habitat Comments: Habitat of adults primarily includes shallow coastal and estuarine waters, often over sandy or muddy bottoms where crab are numerous. Most adults stay in the Gulf of Mexico, and they are rare along the Atlantic coast of the northeastern United States. Apparently most activity is benthic. Post-hatchlings spend 1-4 years as surface pelagic drifters in weedlines of offshore currents in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, then shift to benthic coastal habitats of various types, especially where crabs and other invertebrates are numerous (CSTC 1990, NMFS and USFWS 2007). Nesting occurs on well-defined elevated dune areas, especially on beaches backed up by large swamps or bodies of open water having seasonal, narrow ocean connections. Adult Food Habits: Invertivore Immature Food Habits: Invertivore Food Comments: Adults evidently are primarily benthic feeders that specialize on crabs; juveniles feed on sargassum, mollusks often associated with sargassum, and fishes and shrimps probably discarded by anglers (Shaver 1991). Spider crabs and rock crabs were important prey at Long Island, New York, where ridleys also consumed lady crabs, blue mussels, bay scallops, mud snails, marine plants, and debris (Burke et al. 1994; Copeia 1993:1176-1180). Recorded stomach contents also include shrimp, sea urchins, sea stars, and fishes. Phenology Comments: In northern estuaries, diving activity peaked at dusk and dawn (see Morreale and Standora, no date). Colonial Breeder: Y Length: 70 centimeters Weight: 45000 grams EconomicP"-'- `-- Economic Comments: Eggs formerly were heavily exploited. agement Summary Management Requirements: The recovery plan (USFWS 1992) summarizes management needs. Frazer (1992) emphasized the primary need for clean and productive marine and coastal environments; installation of turtle excluder devices in shrimp trawl nets and use of low pressure sodium lighting on beaches were suggested as appropriate sea turtle conservation technologies, whereas headstarting, captive breeding, and hatcheries were regarded as ineffective at best. Captive breeding was not regarded as a preferred management tool by CSTC (1990). See also Bjorndal (1982). Reduction in trawl -related mortality, through the use of turtle excluder devices and seasonal fisheries closures and/or reduced tow times by shrimp trawlers, is regarded as a primary management need (Mitchell 1991, NMFS 1993, Lewison et al. 2003). All nesting areas should be protected throughout the reproductive season (through hatchling emergence). Group Name: Sea Turtles (Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae) Use Class: Adult foraging area Minimum Criteria for an Occurrence: Reliable observation of multiple adults in an area that supports productive populations of appropriate food organisms. Multiple years of information should be used to reliably identify significant, persistent occurrences. Separation Barriers: None. Separation Distance for Unsuitable Habitat: 10 km Separation Distance for Suitable Habitat: 10 km Separation Justification: Separation distance refers to known areas of concentrated foraging activity.

Analyses of mitochondrial DNA variation have increased our understanding of the phylogenetic relationships among certain populations of sea turtles and have allowed the recognition of some evolutionarily distinctive units. However, available information on genetics, dispersion, and movement patterns of most sea turtle populations generally is insufficient to determine biologically meaningful separation distances for the different kinds of occurrences covered by the specifications. The separation distances used here do not attempt to identify biologically distinct populations but rather are arbitrary values that attempt to identify relatively distinct geographic areas that have frequent or concentrated activity and that are of practical size for conservation use. Additionally, these specifications assume that it is best to have uniform occurrence standards for all sea turtle species, placing greater emphasis on the general similarity of their life history patterns than on specific biological differences among species. Foraging home range sizes of individual hawksbill turtles in the West Indies were 1.96-49.5 sq km and were positively correlated with average water depth (Horrocks et al. 2001).
