Division of Water Resources 401 Wetlands Unit 512 North Salisbury Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Attention: Ms. Karen Higgins Reference: Pre -Construction Notification: NWP No. 12/WQC No. 4086 PSNC Cliffside Lateral Project Cleveland and Rutherford Counties, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 7435-16-053 Dear Mr. Brown and Ms. Higgins: On behalf of our client, PSNC Energy (PSNC), S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is pleased to submit 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. 4086. The proposed project will involve construction of approximately seven miles of natural gas pipeline that is compliant with current federally - mandated requirements. This PCN is being provided to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for approval, and complies with all applicable conditions of NWP No. 12. Written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) is also required in part because the proposed project does not meet condition numbers 3 and 4 of WQC No. 4086, as specified below: Condition No. 3: The proposed gas line will not cross all streams within the project corridor at a near - perpendicular angle. A majority of the new line will be installed adjacent to an existing overhead electric utility line and associated easement where not all streams are crossed within the tolerance identified in the aforementioned WQC. Similarly, not all streams within proposed greenfield segments of the project will be crossed at a near perpendicular angle for a variety of reasons including preservation of landowner property values by abutting existing property lines, and topographic, natural resources or engineering -related constraints. Condition No. 4: The proposed project will require a combined temporary and permanent construction easement greater than 50 -foot wide at stream and wetland crossings where the pipe will be installed. In upland areas, the work will occur within a 75 -foot wide, or greater, area (combined Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 permanent and temporary easements), depending on the location of the existing pipe. In general, the workspace will be narrowed to 65 feet or less at stream/wetland crossings. In most of these areas, the 65 -foot wide easement is required to safely accommodate the equipment and work space necessary to install the 20 -inch diameter pipe. By copy of this correspondence and completed PCN, we are requesting your written concurrence with this NWP No. 12 permit application. If you have questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact us at 704.523.4726.

The pipeline will originate at a tie-in with PSNC's T-001 transmission line west of Trinity Church Road (35.268118°N, -81.715859°W) in Cleveland County. The line will then proceed in a generally southwest direction, paralleling an overhead electric transmission line for much of its length, before ending at the Duke Energy Cliffside Plant (35.214377°N, -81.763567°W) in Rutherford County. The pipe will be 20 inches in diameter, and will be installed within a new permanent easement that is generally 50 feet wide. At certain locations, an additional 25 to 50 feet of temporary workspace (TWS) will be required in order to safely accommodate equipment that will install the pipe. Vegetation within the 50 -foot wide permanent easement will be maintained by periodic mowing in the future. Vegetation within the TWS will be allowed to return to its pre -disturbance conditions following construction, and will not be maintained in the future. Portions of the TWS will be sited in the existing Duke Energy powerline easement that abuts the route. The location of the project corridor is depicted on the Vicinity Map (Figure 1), a USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2) and 2015 Aerial Photographs (Figures 3-8). The project area is located in the Piedmont physiographic province in the Upper Broad River Basin (03050105). General land use in the vicinity of the project corridor consists of a mix of undeveloped woodland, residential areas, livestock pasture and open fields. Portions of the project corridor are also located in disturbed areas inside of the power plant property. General Vegetative Conditions The overall project corridor consists of a variety of habitats, but consists primarily forested areas and agricultural land. Tree and shrub species observed within wooded portions of the project area included shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata), Virginia pine (P. virginiana) red maple (Acer rubrum), southern red oak (Quercus falcata), white oak (Q. alba), post oak (Q. stellata), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), and eastern red -cedar (Juniperus virginiana), American holly (flex opoca), flowering dogwood (Cornus florida), persimmon (Diospyros virginiana), multiflora rose (Rosa multiflora), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense). Vines observed in these areas included crossvine (Anisostichus capreolatus), roundleaf greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) and grape (Vitis sp.). Herbaceous vegetation included Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides), partridge berry (Mitchella repens), ebony spleenwort (Asplenium platyneuron), little brown jug (Hexastylis arifolia), clubmoss, spotted wintergreen (Chimaphila moculata), and downy rattlesnake plantain (Goodyera pubescens). Vegetation within the adjacent powerline easement varied, but in general included sawtooth blackberry (Rubus argutus), goldenrod (Solidago spp.), ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), American pokeweed (Phytolacca americana), winged sumac (Rhus copallina),Chinese bushclover (Lespedeza cuneato), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), wineberry (R. phoenicolosius), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota), muscadine grape (Vitis rotundifolia), kudzu (Pueraria montana), and a number of other grasses and volunteer species. Woody Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 saplings observed included sweetgum (Liquidambarstyrociflua), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), red maple (Acer rubrum), American holly (Ilex opaca), box elder (Acer negundo), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), and black cherry (Prunus serotina). In addition to the general land use types identified above, the project corridor also passed through large areas of active agricultural land. A majority of these areas included herbaceous cultivated crops and hay field grasses, while also common were active cattle pastures. Species located in pastureland included horse nettle (Solanum carolinense), barnyard grass (Echinochloo crusgalli), broadleaf signal grass (Brachiaria platyphylla), Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense), sawtooth blackberry, dogfennel, crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), buttercup (Ranunculus spp.), goldenrod, American pokeberry, morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), ragweed, clover, and various grasses. Jurisdictional Areas S&ME wetland professionals delineated Waters of the U.S. within a majority of the project corridor in February and March, 2017. An additional field visit was subsequently conducted in April, 2017 to assess re-routed areas. The delineation was conducted utilizing currently accepted methods for wetland determination, as set forth in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the corresponding Eastern Mountain and Piedmont Region USACE Regional Supplement Guide, which states that under normal circumstances, an area must demonstrate the presence of 3 components to be considered jurisdictional: 1) hydrophytic vegetation, 2) hydric soils, and 3) wetland hydrology. When necessary, stream assessments were conducted in accordance with NCDWR and USACE guidelines. Areas determined to be jurisdictional wetlands were dominated by red maple, tulip tree, ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana), river birch (Betula nigra) and boxelder. Shrubs included Chinese privet, American holly and buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis). Woody vines in typical wetland areas included poison ivy and roundleaf greenbrier. Herbaceous vegetation includes jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), cane, possumhaw (Viburnum nudum), spiked false -nettle (Boehmeria cylindrica), netted -chain fern (Woodwardia areolata), cinnamon fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomeum), soft rush (Juncus effusus), sedges (Carex. Sp), Japanese stilt -grass (Microstegium vimineum), knotweed (Polygonum aviculare), and various grasses. The boundaries of jurisdictional areas were identified in the field using Global Positioning System (GPS) units capable of sub -meter accuracy. The field review resulted in delineation multiple wetland areas and streams within the proposed work area. A Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination, along with NCDENR Stream Identification Sheets, and representative Wetland Determination Data forms for each general type of wetland observed are included in Appendix I. Photographs of typical project area conditions are included in Appendix H. Description of the Proposed Work A Completed PCN, Property Owner Information and Authorization to Act as Agent are included in Appendix III. General Pipeline Construction Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries, and other associated workspaces, etc. In high ground areas, up to an additional 50 feet of temporary Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 workspace (TWS) adjacent to the proposed new 50 -foot wide easement will be required to safely install the new pipe. At stream and wetland crossings, the TWS will be reduced to 15 feet (65 feet of total disturbance). In wetland areas, efforts will be made to remove surface vegetation in a manner that minimizes disturbance of the substrate and prevents exposure of soil. If necessary, temporary equipment crossings will be installed along one side of the easement to facilitate equipment passage, cross over streams, and prevent excessive rutting and ground disturbance in the wetlands. Appropriate erosion & sedimentation control (E&SC) measures will be installed as clearing proceeds to prevent sedimentation of jurisdictional features. Grubbing and below -ground vegetation removal will be minimized within wetlands or along stream banks. Where the pipe will be installed by conventional means (e.g. "open -trench" or "isolation"), grubbing will be limited, to the extent practicable, to the trench line. Select upland portions of the easement may require rough grading to facilitate safe passage of equipment, and to prepare a suitably - level work surface. Within wetland areas where extensive rutting or soil disturbance may occur, timber mats are planned for use to provide work and travel space for equipment. Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary E&SC measures, the trench will be excavated along the "non -working" side of the easement. Subsurface disturbance will only be conducted within the trench line at wetlands and stream crossings. Stump removal or light grading may occur on the working side of the easement if required for safety reasons. The work will be performed from the timber mats placed along the working side of the easement. In certain areas, including wetlands and fields supporting crops, efforts will be made to segregate topsoil from the subsoil. If necessary, trench breakers (temporary barriers generally constructed of sand bags or similarly suitable material) will be installed within the trench to slow the flow of subsurface water. In general, 40 -foot lengths of the 20 -inch pipe will be trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the easement and placed on skids (wooden pedestals). Specialized machines will be used to bend individual segments of pipe to fit the contours of the trench where necessary. The pipe segments will be welded together, x-rayed, the structural integrity and surface coating inspected, and then lowered into the trench. Segments of the trench may require dewatering or "padding" to prevent large rocks or other debris from coming in contact with the pipe. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and the trench backfilled. In areas where segregation of the subsoil and topsoil is required, the topsoil will be replaced last. Affected areas will then be "cleaned up" by rough -grading and temporary seeding (if necessary), followed by final grading, permanent seeding and mulching to restore the easement as closely as possible to pre -disturbance contours and conditions. Work within wetlands and streams will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permits. Best Management Practices (BMP's) will be employed at all stream and wetland crossings to help prevent siltation or inadvertent discharges to a Waters of the U.S. Stream/Wetland Crossing Methods There are many factors that affect selection of an appropriate and constructible installation method for a natural gas pipeline. Typical methods of installation include HDD (horizontal directional drilling), conventional bores, and /or conventional isolation. Regulatory implications, environmental impacts, cost, constructability, and pipeline integrity are considered during the design and maintenance of pipelines and Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 thus the selection of crossing methodology. In the upper Piedmont, topography and geology (the presence of subsurface rock) are major factors that often contribute to making "trenchless" installation an option that is not practicable or feasible. The use of conventional trench construction is often the preferred method, as it allows the pipeline to be installed at a consistent 4-5 feet depth below land surface for a far greater length when compared to trenchless installation. Maintaining a normal depth is critical to the safety and integrity of the pipeline. As the depth of cover increases, so does the difficulty in locating, exposing, and performing routine maintenance required for transmission pipelines. Installation of the pipe by HDD will occur at the Second Broad and Broad River crossings. Typical BMPs used in connection with the stream crossings will include the following, as appropriate: Crossings will be executed in as minimal amount of time necessary. Where possible, 24-hour installation and restoration will occur. Sufficient equipment to execute the crossing in an expeditious, environmentally responsible manner will be available on site prior to initiation of the crossing. Crossings will be conducted during anticipated low flow conditions. Local weather conditions will be monitored such that, to the extent possible, stormwater events will be avoided during and immediately following installation of the pipe. The crossings will be monitored during installation by personnel experienced in stream and wetland crossing procedures, familiar with site conditions, and knowledgeable in North Carolina environmental regulations. The monitor shall have the authority to stop work should conditions change and additional or different measures be needed. This professional will be on-site from the initiation (preparatory stages) through to the completion (e.g. implementation of the restoration plan). Sufficient qualified staffing will be maintained for the project duration such that compliance monitoring activities associated with pipeline installation in other locations do not take precedence over crossings. The upstream and downstream crossing points will be sealed to isolate the crossing for pipeline installation "in the dry." Clean steel plates, sand bags, or similar measures will be inserted to temporarily dam the flow. Steel plates will be cleaned prior to use on streams using biodegradable products or heat. On both sides of the installed plates (both upstream and downstream) sandbags will additionally be placed to secure the plates, reinforce the damming of water, and provide a secondary barrier to seepage. The excavated trench will be monitored for groundwater intrusion and, if noted, excess water will be pumped to a discharge site located 50'- 100' from the top of bank of the receiving stream. Discharged water from the trench will be filtered through an appropriate E&SC measure. Where possible, the top 6-12 inches of streambed substrate will be stockpiled separately from the subgrade material and kept saturated during the installation. Pumps shall be obtained and staged prior to executing the crossing. Back-up pumps shall be kept on-site should the primary pump(s) malfunction, or to control high flows. All pumps will have screened intakes and will be placed in secondary -containment for the duration of the installation. In the event an unforeseen weather event occurs during installation, pumps near the crossing will be monitored 24 -hours a day until normal flow conditions are present. 4 Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 Pump flow rates will be monitored to ensure adequate flow is achieved such that water neither accumulates behind the upstream dam nor is discharged too rapidly on the downstream side. At the downstream discharge location, flow discharge rates shall be controlled such that scouring of the stream bed and/or banks does not occur. Efforts will be made to aerate the water prior to its downstream discharge into the receiving stream. Removal of in -stream control devices will be conducted in such a manner as to allow a gradual re- introduction of flowing water into the channel. Banks will be restored in a careful manner, achieving pre -construction contours to the extent practical. A cover crop and specialized riparian seed mix will be applied for the entire length of banks disturbed by the crossing. Coir matting with appropriate shear strength will additionally be installed to anchor the seeding and the banks. Stream crossings will be monitored for stability following construction and for the duration of the pipeline construction. Restoration will be considered complete when herbaceous vegetation reaches 80 -percent coverage. Where HDD methodology is employed, the crossing will be monitored in the event an inadvertent return of drilling fluid occurs. All such occurrences that affect jurisdictional waters will be immediately contained using hay bales or other similar physical barrier, remediated to the extent practical, and reported to the USACE within 48 -hours of detection. Please note that in the event an inadvertent release occurs outside of the proposed construction corridor, additional coordination with land -owners, regulatory agents, contractors, etc. may be required, and cleanup will be initiated as soon as possible. All disturbed areas within wetlands or on stream banks will be seeded with a customized seed mix. For wetlands, seed mix application will extend 10 -feet landward of the jurisdictional boundary; for streams, seed mix application will extend at least 10 -feet landward of the top of bank. Stream banks temporarily affected by trenching or placement of equipment bridges will be stabilized with a native seed mix specifically designed for riparian areas, and will be stabilized with biodegradable coir matting. Affected wetland areas will be seeded with a native wetland seed mix; however, no heavy mulching will occur within wetlands. Proposed Project Impacts Project -wide wetland impacts are summarized in Table 1 below: fable 1: Summary of Project -wide Wetland Impacts ImpactsWetland Temporary Impacts Permanent Conversion Permanent Fill Placement 0.201 0.148 0.000 Total, project -wide construction of the project will result in impacts to 0.349 acre of wetlands. Of these impacts, 0.201 acre will be temporary, and 0.148 acres will be permanent conversion. The permanent impacts will result from conversion of forested wetlands to emergent wetlands within new permanent right-of-way through periodic mowing. The temporary wetland impacts associated with the project will occur as a result of trench excavation, temporary side casting of material and placement of timber mats Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 for the equipment crossings. Forested wetland areas that are cleared within temporary workspaces will be permitted to revegetate back to their original condition, and are thus considered temporary disturbance impacts and not permanent conversion impacts. It should be noted that temporary workspace (TWS) has been reduced at stream and wetland crossings to the extent practicable. Impacts associated with each individually -identified wetland area within the proposed project disturbance limits are identified in Appendix VI and depicted on the figures in Appendix V. The project will result in impacts to 1,012 If of jurisdictional streams. These impacts are broken down by type in Table 2 below: Table 2: Summary of Project -wide Stream Impacts Pipeline Construction Activities/Crossings Temporary Permanent 1,012 0 As indicated, a majority of the impacts are associated with placement of equipment bridges and isolation crossing methods (clean water bypass via dam -and -pump or dam -and -flume) around a segment of bank that will be excavated to accommodate placement of the pipe. Following construction, disturbed wetlands within the permanent easement will be vegetated with herbaceous cover, while those within the TWS will be seeded and allowed to return to a forested condition. Affected portions of the streams will be reconstructed to their pre -disturbance dimension and profile, and stabilized using coir matting and vegetative plantings, without use of riprap or hard armoring, unless such material was their prior to construction. Typical stream and wetland crossings details are included in Appendix VI of this submittal. Avoidance and Minimization To avoid and minimize impacts to waters of the U.S. within the project corridor, PSNC proposes to install the new gas pipeline adjacent to an existing, maintained utility easement to the extent practicable. The total width of the work area has been reduced to 65 feet at stream and wetland crossings, which is required to safely install the 20 -inch pipe. Where streams are trenched for pipe installation, sedimentation impacts will be minimized through the use of the dry -ditch construction methods, such as bypass pumping though silt bags or temporary de -watering structures, or by use of dam and flumes. Wetland impacts will be minimized during construction through the use of equipment mats at crossings and trench plugs to prevent alterations to wetland hydrology. Additionally, construction equipment operating within the wetland will be limited to that equipment necessary for clearing, excavation, pipe installation and restoration activities. Wetland vegetation will be cut at ground level, leaving existing root systems in place to promote re -growth. To the extent practicable, wetland topsoil will be segregated from the underlying subsoil in areas disturbed by trenching, except in areas with standing water or saturated soils, or where no topsoil is evident. N Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 It should be noted that the HDD entrance location has been established in an area where a stream and wetland will be temporarily impacted within a proposed work area that exceeds 65 feet in width. The necessity to locate the drill point at this location is based on constructability and safety concerns. The topography in this area presents many obstacles, and in this preferred location, PSNC can better utilize the existing upslope topography for safer constructability. Prior to recommending the proposed HDD route, the following two options were considered: Option 1: Move the location closer to the river. In this option, the exit location would need to be shifted 500 feet toward the river to the closest flat area. To maintain adequate pipe cover under the river, the exit angle would need to be increased to 16 degrees, which exceeds the maximum design exit angle of 12 degrees. This increased exit angle would require a drill pullback string lift height of approximately 37 feet to avoid stressing the pipe. To further complicate the constructability of pulling the pipe in the bored hole, the topography drops off sharply toward the river. Standard practice for pulling the pipe into the bore hole is on flat topography or an upslope. This downslope option is the exact opposite situation, and presents the aforementioned constructability and safety concerns. Option 2: Move the location farther away from the river. This option would add additional footage to the drill, and would require setup too close to the power transmission lines. This would also encroach on a large area with dwarf flowered heartleaf plants that would pose additional environmental issues. Also, this option would require re-routing the proposed pipeline easement in order to tie-in to the new HDD exit location. This option adds more risk, cost, and safety concern near powerlines. As indicated, the proposed location of the HDD exit is the only practicable alternative. Measures will be undertaken to limit the temporary impacts to the stream and wetland at this location. The reach of stream located within the footprint of the exit pad will be piped, and construction mats placed atop the wetland and piped stream. Following completion of the drill, the affected stream and wetland area will be restored in accordance with the project's restoration plan. Additional Regulatory Considerations The project will comply with all applicable conditions of NWP 12 and WQC 4086, with the exception of those noted previously. The width of the TWS and the permanent easement will not exceed 65 feet at wetland and stream crossings. The proposed alignment makes use of existing easement to the maximum extent practicable. As mentioned, PSNC has endeavored to install the new pipe adjacent to an existing utility easement. All stream work will be performed "in the dry" by isolating the work area through use of dam and pump - around or dam and flume systems. Following construction, stream and wetland crossings will be restored to original grade and contour. The proposed project will not result in permanent changes in pre - construction elevation contours or stream dimension, pattern or profile. Excess material will be removed to a high ground disposal area. Affected wetland areas will be restored in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (Appendix VII) following completion of the work. An Inadvertent Returns Contingency Plan to account for potential releases associated with the proposed HDDs has also been included in Appendix VII. 7 Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 Based on our experience with similar projects involving impacts authorized under NWP No. 12, it is our understanding that pipeline construction impacts to streams and emergent wetlands will be considered temporary if these areas are restored to original pre -construction contours once construction is completed, and do not involve the permanent placement of hard armor in streams. Federally -Protected Species To comply with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME initially consulted with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP). S&ME provided scoping packages to the USFWS and the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) on December 14, 2016. The scoping packages included depictions of the route overlain on the appropriate USGS topographic maps and aerial photographs in digital format, along with a Google Earth' kmz file of the proposed alignment. The scoping packages requested that each agency review records they may have had relating to rare, endangered, or threatened species, or high quality natural communities within the vicinity of the project corridor, and provide comment. S&ME also consulted the NCNHP GIS database Virtual Workroom and Element Occurrence (EO) Database, and received a report on December 15, 2016. The list of NCNHP records relating to rare, listed species, significant natural communities or habitat areas/managed conservation lands identified the following federally -protected element occurrences within one mile of the project route: EO ID Nos. 15583 and 26982: Dwarf -flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora) — federally threatened The report also identified multiple occurrences of state -listed species, but none that carry federal protection. The report did not identify significant natural communities or habitat areas/managed conservation lands within a one -mile radius of the project route. The NCWRC responded with a January 5, 2017, letter that also listed dwarf -flowered heartleaf as a potential concern, along with northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), and a number of state - listed species. The NCWRC recommended project consultation with the USFWS. The USFWS responded with a February 6, 2017 letter confirming that the project area likely contains suitable habitat for the federally threatened dwarf -flowered heartleaf, and that there are multiple occurrence records for this plant within close proximity to the proposed project site. The USFWS recommended that a formal survey for dwarf -flowered heartleaf be conducted at the project site to ensure that this species is not inadvertently lost. The FWS further stated that project site also contains potential suitable habitat for northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), which is currently federally listed as a threatened species, and that clearing of trees for construction of the project could impact suitable maternity roost trees. However, no known maternity roosts or hibernacula sites are within 25 miles of the project site. According to the new 4(d) rule implemented for the listing of northern long-eared bat, a cutting moratorium of June 1 -July 31 should be observed within areas of habitat for this species. Because: 1) the project site is over 25 -miles away from the nearest known occurrence; and 2) there is a large amount of suitable habitat in close proximity to the site and in the surrounding area, we believe the probability of "take" that could occur from this project is Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 discountable. The USFWS recommended that the cutting moratorium of June 1 -July 31 be implemented into the plans if possible. The NCNHP and NCWRC correspondence is included in Appendix VIII. Following the agency scoping and literature review, S&ME conducted pedestrian reviews for terrestrial species along the project corridor. During the field reconnaissance, the approximate project centerline was identified as the existing gas line easement. In areas of greenfield development, the centerline was identified either via a surveyed cut line or by means of a global positioning system (GPS) device. S&ME personnel then spread out perpendicular to the center line and walked parallel meandering transects within the corridor. In areas meeting the habitat requirements for protected species (i.e., presence of associate species, correct slope aspect, known soil types, etc.), multiple additional transects or grid transects were walked to adequately review the area. In areas that did not exhibit known habitat characteristics for the target species, S&ME personnel used a spot-check methodology, looking for potential microhabitats. If protected species were positively identified during the review, a GPS data point was recorded and photographs and notes were taken. The same procedure was followed when S&ME could not positively identify the species (e.g., due to absence of key identifying floral features), but suspected that it may be protected. During field visits on April 3 and April 10, 2017, S&ME personnel identified two populations of H. naniflora within the proposed project corridor. Approximately 119 plant clusters were identified within the survey area of the two populations. Approximately 17 of these clusters are located within the disturbance footprint of the proposed project. Through coordination with the FWS, S&ME prepared a June 23, 2017 Mitigation Plan for the H. naniflora, a copy of which was also provided to the USACE. The plan entails transplanting the 17 affected clusters out of the disturbance footprint and into undisturbed portions of the adjacent property among the remaining population. Please refer to the June 23, 2017 report for additional details. A copy of the September 1, 2017 USFWS email approval is included in Appendix VIII. Although the project is located in the vicinity of several other populations that have been documented and mapped on property owned by Duke Energy, no additional H. naniflora or other federally -protected species were observed within the corridor during the site visits, or during wetland delineation efforts conducted separately. Historic and Cultural Resources S&ME submitted an agency scoping letter to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) on December 15, 2016. The SHPO responded in a January 23, 2017 letter stating that they were aware of no historic resources that would be affected by the project, and had no further comment. A copy of the SHPO correspondence is included in Appendix VIII. Sediment and Erosion Control A separate Erosion and Sedimentation Control (E&SC) Plan will be prepared and submitted to the North Carolina Division of Environment and Natural Resources — Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 (NCDENR-DEMLR). The E&SC plan will specify the appropriate E&SC and Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual." Through early cooperation and planning with NCDENR-DEMLR staff, PSNC and S&ME are currently designing an E&SC plan to employ numerous measures that meet or exceed specifications governing the proper design, installation, operation, and maintenance of E&SC measures and BMPs. The E&SC plan will be submitted to NCDENR — DEMLR, and approval received prior to initiation of construction. Construction supervisors directing crews responsible for installation and maintenance of erosion control measures will be experienced in North Carolina E&SC measures, pipeline construction as it relates to E&SC measures and BMPs, and will be responsible for completing the required NCDENR — DWR self - inspection forms. These forms will be completed for disturbed areas at least once per 7 calendar days and within 24 hours of a rainfall event greater than 0.5 inch per 24-hour period. Multiple rain gauges will be located along the construction corridor and monitored daily. Per current NCDENR guidance, areas disturbed during clearing or construction operations will be temporarily or permanently seeded and mulched when construction activities will not occur within a period of 7 or 14 days on a particular section of the pipeline. Waterbars will be spaced at appropriate intervals based on existing slope. Sediment tubes (Filtrexx FilterSoxx, or Engineer approved equivalent) will be spaced at similar intervals in areas where construction occurs within, or partially within, existing natural gas easements. Due to the presence of 1 or more existing below -ground natural gas pipelines, mass grading above the existing lines is not feasible, so the denuded portion of these areas should be limited to the pipeline trench and areas immediately adjacent to it. Water bars and sediment tubes will be installed at the base of slopes up -gradient of streams or wetlands. Silt fence will be installed along the top -of -bank at streams and at wetland boundaries maintaining a 10 - foot buffer between the silt fence and the jurisdictional feature. Silt fence will be installed such that it, in combination with other measures approaching streams and wetlands, dissipates and directs flow away from the crossing. Additionally, sediment tubes or wattles will be utilized at stream and wetland crossings to provide a sediment barrier that can be temporarily removed to allow equipment access to bridges or timber mats. Dewatering of trenches within streams and wetlands will be discharged through a filter bag or other temporary E&SC control structure. Construction activities within wetlands will be conducted from timber mats. Where clearing operations occur in wetlands, low ground pressure equipment will be used in areas beyond those protected by timber mats. Construction activities within streams will be conducted "in the dry" through the use of either flumes or a pump -around bypass. Temporary spoil piles associated with stream crossings will be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the top of bank and protected with a row of silt fence on the down - gradient portions of the stockpile. Temporary bridges will be utilized at stream crossings so that equipment can safely cross the stream. Bridges will be wrapped in geotextile fabric and have plywood sideboards to prevent sediment from entering the stream being crossed. 10 Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-16-061 PSNC Cliffside Pipeline Project October 27, 2017 Mitigation A majority of the proposed project impacts are temporary. Streams and wetlands affected by installation of the pipe within the existing easement will be restored to their original grade and contour upon completion of the work. In addition, approximately 0.148 acre of forested wetlands will be converted to herbaceous wetlands due to construction of the maintenance corridor. As such, project -wide "mitigatable" impacts are limited to 0.148 acre of wetlands. The project will not result in permanent stream impacts. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that purchase of stream mitigation credit through a private bank or in -lieu fee program will be required. PSNC proposes to purchase the appropriate amount of wetland mitigation credit (0.25 acre) from the NC Division of Mitigation Services (DCM) in the Upper Broad River Basin (HUC 03050105). An acceptance letter that has been provided by DCM is included in Appendix VIII. General mitigation has also been provided by avoidance and minimization procedures implemented during the design phase of the proposed project. Impacts to streams and wetlands within the project corridor will be minimized by: 1) extensive installation of the pipe adjacent to an existing, maintained easement; 2) reduction of impacts within new greenfield easement through avoidance; 3) Use of trenchless crossing methodology where feasible; and 4) by reducing temporary workspace through wetlands and streams. SEPA Compliance The proposed project does not involve use of public monies or state-owned land. As such, it does not require preparation of an environmental document under the State Environmental Policy Act. 11 Appendix I - Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Delineation urisdictional Determination Reauest US Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington District This form is intended for use by anyone requesting a jurisdictional determination (JD) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Wilmington District (Corps).

Version: May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One) ❑� I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminarX JD for the property identified herein. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property. PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is "preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do not expire. ❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein. An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years (subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05- 02). ❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision.

REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY): ❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date: ❑ Field Determination. Date(s): February and April 2017 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 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. Data reviewed for preliminary JD (check all that apply - checked items should be included in case file and, where checked and requested, appropriately reference sources below): ® Maps, plans, plots or plat submitted by or on behalf of the applicant/consultant: The site is depicted on the attached exhibits prepared by S&ME. ® Data sheets prepared/submitted by or on behalf of the applicant/consultant. ❑ Office concurs with data sheets/delineation report. iN ❑ Office does not concur with data sheets/delineation report. ❑ Data sheets prepared by the Corps: ❑ Corps navigable waters study: ❑ U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Atlas: ❑ USGS NHD data. ❑ USGS 8 and 12 digit HUC maps. 03050105 (Broad) ❑ U.S. Geological Survey map(s).

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: A majority of the work will parallel an existing, maintained powerline easement. Poritons of the project will also consist of greenfield development. General land use in the vicinity of the project corridor consists of a mix of low density residential areas, agriculture, pasture, and forest. Portions of the project corridor are also located on the Duke Energy power plant. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: — 0.4 Acres of wetlands and open waters in the project area. 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: — 1,000 LF of perennial and intermittent streams are located within the project area. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The primary purpose of the proposed project is to supply the Cliffside plant with natural gas via a pipeline that is compatible with current federally -mandated safety and inspection requirements. 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries, and other associated workspaces etc. In high ground areas, up to an additional 50 feet of temporary workspace (TWS) adjacent to the existing easement will be required to safely install the new pipe. At stream and wetland crossings, the TWS will be reduced to 15 feet, and the remainder of the work will be conducted within the permanent easement. Appropriate sediment and erosion control (S&EC) measures will be installed as clearing proceeds to prevent sedimentation of jurisdictional features. No grubbing or below -ground vegetation removal will occur within wetlands or along stream banks outside of the construction corridor. Where the pipe will be installed by conventional means (e.g. 'open -trench" or "isolation"), grubbing will be limited, to the extent practicable, to the trench line. Select upland portions of the easement may require rough grading to facilitate safe passage of equipment, and to prepare a suitably -level work surface. Within wetland areas where extensive rutting or soil disturbance may occur, timber mats are planned for use to provide work and travel space for equipment. Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary S&EC measures, the trench will be excavated along the "non -working" side of the easement. Subsurface disturbance will only be conducted within the trench line at wetlands and stream crossings. Stump removal or light grading may occur on the working side of the easement if required for safety reasons. The work will be performed from the timber mats placed along the working side of the easement. In certain areas, including wetlands and fields supporting crops, efforts will be made to segregate topsoil from the subsoil. If necessary, trench breakers (temporary barriers generally constructed of sand bags or similarly suitable material) will be installed within the trench to slow the flow of subsurface water. In general, approximately 40 -foot lengths of the 20 -inch pipe will then be trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the easement and placed on skids (wooden pedestals). Specialized machines will be used to bend individual segments of pipe to fit the contours of the trench where necessary. The pipe segments will be welded together, x-rayed, and inspected coating and structural integrity, and then lowered into the trench. Segments of the trench may require dewatering or "padding" to prevent large rocks or other debris from coming in contact with the pipe. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and the trench backfilled. In areas where segregation of the subsoil and topsoil is required, the topsoil will be replaced last. Affected areas will then be "cleaned up" by rough -grading and temporary seeding (if necessary), followed by final grading, permanent seeding and mulching to restore the easement as closely as possible to pre -disturbance contours and conditions.

Mooresboro, NC 28114 Subject: Survey Notification Cleveland County PIN No. 2057 Tract No. CL -001.000 Dear PAMELA B. GOODE, HILDA B. BARNWELL, AND ERNEST C. BYARS: The purpose of this letter is to inform you that our company, Public Service of North Carolina ("PSNC Energy"), will begin working on a project in the area soon that may affect your property. As a courtesy, we wanted to let you know ahead of time. The project consists of installing a new natural gas pipeline to facilitate the upgrades at the Rogers Energy Complex in Cleveland and Rutherford counties. The pipeline will run from Trinity Church Road, near Mooresboro and parallel, where feasible, an existing Duke Energy power line right of way to the plant site. PSNC Energy plans to survey this route in the near future to establish the precise location and identify any temporary work space or right-of-way that will be required on individual properties. In order to complete the mapping for the survey within its corridor, our surveyors may need to locate the following on your property: corners, overhead and underground utilities; buildings, permanent structures as well as environmentally and culturally sensitive areas. Also, please see enclosures describing these activities. The enclosed map shows the proposed survey corridor, which is within close proximity to, crosses, or touches your property. We want to be sure you know about our survey plans at least 30 days ahead of our project's start to ensure our compliance with Chapter 40A of the North Carolina General Statutes. Also, in the near future, a real estate professional representing PSNC Energy will contact you as a follow-up to this letter. After the surveying work is completed, the real estate professional will contact you to discuss purchasing any temporary work space or right- of-way that may be needed on your property. Our goal throughout this project is to minimize any inconvenience to you through the survey process and all other phases. As an added communication measure, we will also attempt to contact you by telephone in the coming days. If you have any questions or concerns about the survey or land acquisition process, you may contact our project team at (828) 595-9852. You may also find more information at www.psncenergy.com/pipeline. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Appendix VII - General Restoration and Inadvertent Returns Contingency Plans GENERAL RESTORATION PLAN PSNC Cliffside Lateral Project Cleveland and Rutherford Counties, North Carolina The proposed project has been designed to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts where practicable. As part of mitigation for unavoidable impacts, the following plan shall be implemented to restore temporarily -affected wetlands and streams. This plan entails restoration of temporarily -disturbed areas to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. No fills or spoils of any kind will be permanently placed within wetlands or along the stream banks. Further, disturbed wetland areas and streambanks will be permanently stabilized 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 will include the removal of placed fill material and restoration of original pre - disturbance contours. Excavated material shall be returned to the trench to the extent possible, and remaining material relocated and retained on an upland site. Excavated topsoil will be stockpiled separately, kept viable, and then replaced uniformly over the area of excavation from which it was removed. The native seed mix identified in Table 1 below will be utilized within temporarily -disturbed streambanks and riparian areas.

INADVERTANT RETURN CONTINGENCY PLAN PSNC Cliffside Lateral Project Cleveland and Rutherford Counties, North Carolina Introduction Prior to initiating construction activities, PSNC will confirm that the construction contractor and involved personnel are made aware of and understand the permit and its requirements, including relevant special conditions of the permit, monitoring of the project required by the permit, implementation of the Contingency Plan and implementation of Best Management Practices (BMP) during phases of construction that are designed to prevent release of sediment or deleterious substances into the creek. Additionally, jurisdictional boundaries of the wetlands within the project area will be demarcated in the field. As excavation of the drill pits will not occur in the wetlands, silt fencing will be established around the work areas by the contractor prior to any other land disturbing activities on site. Monitoring Monitoring the project site during all phases of construction will be conducted by the contractor and PSNC. The contractor will visually inspect the project site twice daily (AM & PM) for compliance with BMPs, monitor that work is proceeding as permitted, conditions are such that problems are not anticipated, and an inadvertent return of drilling mud has not occurred. The contractor will also monitor the project site during drilling operations. Inspection logs will be maintained on-site, and will contain the date and time of inspections and will note problems, potential problems or other items of interest. Actions occurring on-site that cause problems with the work, or a temporary stop in work, will be noted in the log. Daily photographs will also document the progress of work, the integrity of sediment control measures and compliance with permit conditions. Stop Work Upon discovery of an inadvertent return by the contractor, or notification to PSNC that the release of material or deleterious matter with potential for impacts to the creek or wetlands has occurred, the contractor will immediately stop work. An exception to an immediate cessation of construction activities may be warranted if such stoppage could result in unsafe conditions for workers on-site, or if stopping work would risk loss of the drill hole, or potentially result in more harm to the environment than continuing work. However, containment of such a release will immediately occur. Containment The contractor will immediately implement measures to contain the release of sediment or other deleterious substance into the creek or wetlands. Containment measures may include silt fencing and sediment tube installation. Contact Once an inadvertent return is discovered by the contractor, PSNC shall notify the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) within 24 hours. Inadvertent Returns Contingency Plan PSNC Cliffside Lateral Project Clean Up and Restoration Page 2 The contractor and PSNC will coordinate with the USACE and DWR to determine the most effective method of cleaning up the affected area(s) and appropriate methods for disposing of sediment or deleterious substance, and the most effective and efficient means of restoring the site, including stabilizing and re -vegetating as appropriate. S&ME, Inc. Appendix VIII - Agency Correspondence and DCM Acceptance Letter United States Department of the Interior FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Asheville Field Office 160 Zillicoa Street Asheville, North Carolina 28801 February 6, 2017 Mr. Joey Lawler S&ME, Inc. 9751 Southern Pine Boulevard Charlotte, North Carolina 28273 Dear Mr. Lawler: Subject: Federally Listed Species Assessment, PSNC Energy's (PSNC) Proposed 6.8 -Mile Cliffside Lateral Pipeline Project, located in Rutherford, and Cleveland Counties, North Carolina (S&ME Project No. 7335-16-061) Dear Mr. Lawler: On December 21, 2016, we received (via e-mail) a copy of your Information Request letter requesting our review and comments on the subject project. We have reviewed the information you presented and are providing the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C.§4321 et seq.) (NEPA); the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661-667e), and section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531-1543) (Act). According to the information that you presented, PSNC is proposing to construct about 6.8 -miles of 16 -inch diameter steel natural gas transmission pipeline. The proposed gas transmission line route begins at the existing T-01 Gas Line and ends at the Rogers Energy Complex, in Cliffside, operated by Duke Energy. The gas pipeline will be located in a new 50 -foot wide easement. An additional 25 -foot wide area along the easement will be necessary for a temporary workspace to accommodate construction. The gas pipeline will cross multiple streams and possibly wetlands. Your letter indicates that the gas pipeline crossings of the Broad River and Second Broad River will be installed using horizontal directional drilling (HDD). However, your letter did not include specific information regarding additional aquatic resource crossings/impacts associated with the gas pipeline construction. The purpose of the project is to provide natural gas to the Rogers Energy Complex. Federally Listed Species. There appears to be suitable habitat for the federally threatened dwarf -flowered heartleaf (Hexastylis naniflora) on the project site. We have multiple occurrence records for this plant within close proximity to the proposed project site. We recommend that a formal survey for dwarf -flowered heartleaf be conducted at the project site to ensure that this species is not inadvertently lost. In accordance with the Act, it is the responsibility of the appropriate federal agency or its designated representative to review its activities or programs and to identify any such activities or programs that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats. If it is determined that the proposed activity may adversely affect any species federally listed as endangered or threatened, formal consultation with this office must be initiated. The project site also contains potential suitable habitat for northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis), which is currently federally listed as a threatened species. The clearing of trees for construction of the project, staging areas, easements, etc. could impact suitable maternity roost trees for northern long-eared bats. However, no known maternity roosts or hibemacula sites are within 25 miles of the project site. According to the new 4(d) rule implemented for the listing of northern long-eared bat, a cutting moratorium of June I -July 31 should be observed within areas of habitat for this species. Because: 1) the project site is over 25 -miles away from the nearest known occurrence; and 2) there is a large amount of suitable habitat in close proximity to the site and in the surrounding area, we believe the probability of "take" that could occur from this project is discountable. We recommend the cutting moratorium of June I -July 31 be implemented into the plans if possible. Though a "not likely to adversely affect" determination would not be dependent on this action, the cutting moratorium is a measure that can be implemented to further reduce the probability of "take" of this species. Thus, we believe the requirements for northern long-eared bat under section 7 of the Act are fulfilled. However, obligations under section 7 of the Act must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered, (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review, or (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat is determined that may be affected by the identified action. Utility Line Crossings. In the interest of reducing impacts to natural resources, utility crossings (i.e., sewer, gas, and water lines) should be kept to a minimum, and all utility infrastructure (including manholes) should be kept out of riparian buffer areas. If a utility crossing is necessary, we recommend that you first consider the use of directional boring. PSNC is proposing to cross the Broad River and Second Broad River using HDD. We recommend that every stream crossing associated with the project be assessed for HDD installation. If directional boring cannot be used and trenching is determined to be the only viable method, every effort should be made to ensure that impacts to in -stream features are minimized and stable upon completion of the project. Our past experiences with open -trench crossings indicate that this technique increases the likelihood for future lateral movement of the stream (which could 2 undercut or erode around the utility line), and the correction of such problems could result in costly future maintenance and devastating impacts to natural resources. Therefore, as much work as possible should be accomplished in the dry, and the amount of disturbance should not exceed what can be successfully stabilized by the end of the workday. In -stream work should avoid the spring fish -spawning season and should consider forecasted high-flow events. Regardless of the crossing method, all utility lines should cross streams perpendicularly. We strongly encourage that a qualified biologist monitor the work area until the work is complete in order to identify any additional on-site impact -minimization measures. The Service may be available to assist you in this effort. To determine if any maintenance is required, the work site should be monitored at least every 3 months during the first 24 months and annually thereafter. Moreover, we recommend the development of a riparian monitoring and maintenance program that would outline procedures for the prompt stabilization of streambanks near the utility crossing (should any streambank erosion or destabilization occur) throughout the life of this project. Project Recommendations - We are concerned about the introduction and spread of invasive exotic species in association with the proposed project. Without active management, including the revegetation of disturbed areas with native species, project corridors will likely be sources of (and corridors for) the movement of invasive exotic plant species. Exotic species are a major contributor to species depletion and extinction, second only to habitat loss. Exotics are a factor contributing to the endangered or threatened status of more than 40 percent of the animals and plants on the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants.' It is estimated that at least 4,000 exotic plant species and 2,300 exotic animal species are now established in the United States, costing more than $130 billion a year to control.b Additionally, the U.S. Government has many programs and laws in place to combat invasive species (see www.invasivespecies.gov). Specifically, Section 2(a)(3) of Executive Order 13112 - Invasive Species (February 3, 1999) directs federal agencies to "not authorize, fund, or carry out actions that it believes are likely to cause or promote the introduction or spread of invasive species in the United States or elsewhere." Despite their short-term erosion -control benefits, many exotic species used in soil stabilization seed mixes are persistent once they are established, thereby preventing the reestablishment of native vegetation. Many of these exotic plants° are also aggressive invaders of nearby natural areas, where they are capable of displacing already -established native species. Therefore, we strongly recommend that only species native to the natural communities within the project area be used in association with all aspects of this project. We also recommend that seeds for native plants that are beneficial to pollinators be included in the seed mixes. Pollinators, such as most bees, some birds and bats, or other insects, including aD.S. Wilcove, D. Rothstein, J. Dubow, A. Phillips, and E. Losos. 1998. Quantifying threats to imperiled species in the United States. Bioscience 48:607-615. ID. Pimentel, L. Lach, R. Zuniga, and D. Morrison. 2000. Environmental and economic costs of nonindigenous species in the United States. BioScience 50:53-65. °Lists of invasive exotic plants can be found at http://www.tneppc.org/and http://www. invasive.org/eastern/srs/ (exotic wildlife links) on the Internet. 3 moths and butterflies, play a crucial role in the reproduction of flowering plants and in the production of most fruits and vegetables. Over 75 percent of flowering plants and about 75 percent of crops are pollinated by these pollinators. A recent study of the status of pollinators in North America by the National Academy of Sciences found that populations of honey bees (which are not native to North America) and many wild pollinators are declining. Declines in wild pollinators are a result of loss, degradation, and fragmentation of habitat and disease; while declines in honey bees has also been linked to disease. Because loss of habitat and diminished native food sources have decreased the populations and diversity of pollinators throughout the country, we recommend that development projects be sited in areas that are previously disturbed (fallow fields, closed industrial sites, etc.) or sites that do not impact mature forests, streams, or wetlands. To offset the overall impacts of development and/or to increase the habitat and species diversity within the project area, we further recommend the following measures be implemented into project design: 1. Throughout the site, sow native seed mixes with plant species that are beneficial to pollinators. Taller -growing pollinator plant species should be planted around the periphery of the site and anywhere on the site where mowing can be restricted during the summer months. Taller plants, not mowed during the summer, would provide benefits to pollinators, habitat to ground-nesting/feeding birds, and cover for small mammals. Low-growing/groundcover native species should be planted in areas that need to be maintained. This would provide benefits to pollinators while also minimizing the amount of maintenance, such as mowing and herbicide treatment. Using a seed mix that includes milkweed species (milkweed is an important host plant for monarch butterflies) is especially beneficial. The following Web site provides a comprehensive list of native plant species that benefit pollinators: https: //mail.google. com/mail/u/0/#advanced-search/subject=pollinator&subset= all&has= anita &within= l d&sizeoperator=s_sl&sizeunit=s_Smb/14j0366dba7d3bda? projector= 1. Additional information regarding plant species, seed mixes, and pollinator habitat requirements can be provided upon request. Attachment 1 of this letter includes a sample upland mix that can be used in conjunction with a fast growing erosion control seed mix for overall soil stability and pollinator benefits. 2. Provide nesting sites for pollinator species. Different pollinators have different needs for nesting sites. Therefore, we recommend designing the solar facility to maintain a diverse array of habitats to accommodate varied pollinators, from hummingbirds to butterflies to bees. Hummingbirds typically nest in trees or shrubs while many butterflies lay eggs on specific host plants. Most bees nest in the ground and in wood or dry plant stems.

The mitigation plan is necessary due to unavoidable impacts to this species from the proposed PSNC Cliffside Lateral Pipeline Project. I believe the mitigation plan as proposed is adequate and I agree with the transplant methodology included in the mitigation plan. You indicated that the plants would be relocated "approximately 30 feet from the edge of the proposed easement". I recommend that the relocated plants be planted a minimum of 30 -feet from the edge of the easement. I also recommend that replanting locations be assessed for suitable habitat that is void of invasive plant species. I know from your past projects that you typically find good suitable habitat for the replantings but just wanted to throw that out there to be sure. Further, I agree with your statement that monitoring of the relocated plants will not be necessary. As always, I appreciate the work that you do and for consulting with us on this project. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) have reviewed the subject document. Comments are provided in accordance with provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (48 Stat. 401, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 661-667e) and North Carolina General Statutes (G.S. 113-131 et seq.). S&ME, on behalf of PSNC Energy (PSNC), has submitted an information request to NCWRC for a proposed 6.8 -mile segment of 16 -inch diameter steel natural gas transmission line in Rutherford and Cleveland counties, North Carolina. According to the information provided by S&ME, the proposed gasline will be located in a new 50 -foot wide easement with an additional 25 feet of temporary work space for construction. The gasline project will originate west of Trinity Grove Church Road in Mooresboro, Cleveland County (35.268065°N, 81.715901°W) and will terminate at the Rogers Energy Complex in Cliffside, Rutherford County (35.214355°N, 81.763555°W). The proposed gasline would cross Grog Creek, Secondary Broad River, Broad River, and their unnamed tributaries within the Broad River basin. No protected/managed lands, conservation easements, or high- quality natural communities occur within or adjacent to the proposed project area. Within the vicinity of the proposed gasline, we have records for the federal species of concern and state significantly rare Carolina foothills crayfish (Cambarus johni); and state significantly rare quillback (Carpoides cyprinus) and seagreen darter (Etheostoma thalassinum). Records of plant species in the vicinity of the proposed gasline include the federally threatened and state threatened dwarf -flowered heartleaf; state endangered single -flowered sandwort (Mononeuria uniflora); state threatened horned bladderwort (Utricularia cornuta); and state species of special concern (vulnerable) Pursh's wild -petunia (Ruellia purshiana). The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) recently listed the northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The northern long-eared bat may be present or in the vicinity of the project site. As such, consultation with the USFWS may be required.

The NCWRC offers the following general recommendations to minimize impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources. Wetlands and streams within the site boundaries should be identified through on-site surveys prior to any land disturbing activities. If wetlands and/or streams will be impacted by construction activities, then the project should be coordinated with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the N.C. Division of Water Resources. 2. If utility lines parallel any streams, the edge of the construction corridor should be located a minimum of 100 feet from perennial stream banks and 50 feet from intermittent stream banks. Forested riparian buffers provide habitat areas for aquatic and terrestrial wildlife species and travel corridors for terrestrial wildlife. In addition, forested riparian buffers protect water quality by stabilizing stream banks and filtering stormwater runoff. 3. Measures to avoid or minimize impacts to sensitive resources, including wetlands, should be implemented during construction. In addition to providing wildlife habitat, wetland areas perform important functions of flood control and water quality protection. Where crossings are necessary, utility lines should cross streams and wetlands at right angles to minimize impacts. Disturbed stream banks and wetlands should be restored to original contours and re -vegetated with native plant materials. 4. The directional bore (installation of utilities beneath the riverbed, avoiding impacts to the stream and buffer) stream crossing method should be used for utility crossings wherever practicable. The open cut stream crossing method should be used only when water level is low and stream flow is minimal. 5. Disturbed areas should be re -seeded with seed mixtures that are beneficial to wildlife. Avoid fescue -based mixtures because fescue is invasive and provides little benefit to wildlife. Native, annual small grains appropriate for the season are preferred and recommended. Where feasible, use woody debris and logs from corridor clearing to establish brush piles and downed logs adjacent to the cleared right-of-way to improve habitat for wildlife. Allowing the corridor area to re -vegetate into a brush/scrub habitat would maximize benefits to wildlife. For areas adjacent to residential areas, a native shrub/grass option may also be beneficial. 6. Minimize corridor maintenance and prohibit mowing between April 1 and October 1 to minimize impacts to nesting wildlife. The NCWRC recommends a maintenance schedule that incorporates only a portion of the area — one third of the area, for example — each year instead of the entire project every 3 or 4 years. Avoid using herbicides in wetland areas or near streams. 7. If pesticides or chemicals will be used for site maintenance, stormwater runoff from the site should be funneled to bio -retention areas prior to discharge to streams or wetlands. Pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals should not be used in wetland areas or near streams. 8. Sediment and erosion control measures should be installed prior to any land -disturbing activity. The use of biodegradable and wildlife -friendly sediment and erosion control devices is strongly recommended. Silt fencing, fiber rolls and/or other products should have loose -weave netting that is made of natural fiber materials with movable joints between the vertical and horizontal twines. Silt fencing that has been reinforced with plastic or metal mesh should be avoided as it impedes the movement of terrestrial wildlife species. Excessive silt and sediment loads can have Page 3 January 5, 2017 PSNC Cliffside Lateral Pipeline Project detrimental effects on aquatic resources including destruction of spawning habitat, suffocation of eggs and clogging of gills.
