E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
3.79MB
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The stream will be crossed perpendicularly to minimize the stream and stream buffer impact. In the buffer and stream impact zone the construction
corridor was reduced from a 50ft wide corridor to 40ft in width. Note, the permanent maintained access corridors in wetlands and across stream
channels shall not exceed 30 feet wide per the attached Piedmont Natural Gas Permanently Maintained Access Corridor Protocol. The existing pipe
segment to be replaced that is beneath a wetland and stream will be abandoned in place versus removal. This method of abandonment eliminates
impacts to the stream and wetland at that location and reduces impacts to the buffer zones.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction BMPs will be implemented to ensure minimal impacts to wetlands, streams, and stream buffers, for example, timber matting will be utilized
to minimize impacts from construction equipment.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
r Yes r No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
Wetland impacts are less than 1/10th of an acre and will only include 0.04 acres of conversion from low quality forested wetland to herbaceous wetland to allowfor the maintenance
corridor.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) u
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
r Yes r No
What type of SCM are you providing?
r Level Spreader
r Vegetated Conveyance (lower SMNT)
r Wetland Swale (higher SMNT)
r Other SCM that removes minimum 30 % nitrogen
W Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer

PIEDMONT NATURAL GAS
Permanently Maintained Access Corridor Protocol
To Comply with NC Water Quality General Certification No. 4133

To comply with the NC Water Quality General Certification No. 4133 condition for permanent maintained
access corridors in wetlands and across stream channels to not exceed 30 feet wide for gas utility lines,
Piedmont Natural Gas has implemented the following protocol.

Piedmont Natural Gas does not use herbicides to maintain vegetation on permanent access corridors.
Mowing equipment and tree trimming equipment is utilized where feasible to ensure there is a clear line
of sight of the pipeline corridor to perform inspections per Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) regulations. Much of the inspections are conducted using aerial patrols which is
why it is important to ensure the tree canopy does not cover the pipeline corridor.
Piedmont Natural Gas right-of-way(ROW) maintenance staff utilize GIS software to identify permanent
access corridors based on recorded property easement data imported to the company internal asset
management system. Note, the ROW maintenance staff do not use construction or permit drawings to
plan maintenance activities. Once a project obtains environmental permits and/or approvals, the
shapefile data of the jurisdictional features delineation is imported to the internal asset management
system, displaying on an environmental layer which allows the jurisdictional boundaries viewable by the
ROW maintenance staff when planning maintenance activities.
Piedmont Natural Gas ROW maintenance staff have been trained on the NC GC 4133 conditions for
permanent maintained access corridors and are aware of the allowable maintenance widths. Often it is
difficult to perform vegetation maintenance in wetlands and at stream channels where there is steep
terrain or wet conditions limiting vehicular use resulting in less than 30 feet maintained, thus complying
with the NC GC 4133.

Cultural Resources Research
Research conducted by Environmental Services, Inc., A Terracon Company (ESI)using the North
Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) HPOWEB GIS service database on 8 January
2020 revealed no previously recorded historic properties located within or immediately adjacent
to the proposed project corridor.
Research conducted by ESI at the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) on 7 January
2020 revealed that three previously recorded archaeological sites are located directly within or
immediately adjacent to the proposed project corridor (Table 1).Two of the sites (31ED345 and
31ED346) were recorded in 1999 during a survey of a 600-acre parcel. Site 31ED348 was
recorded in 1999 during an archaeological survey for proposed water and sewer extensions. None
of the sites are considered eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

Project: Piedmont Natural Gas Line 125 Relocation Project
KLF# 20202880.001A
RE: Threatened and Endangered Species Review
Dear Mr. Ellis:
Kleinfelder Inc, on behalf of Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG), is requesting an informal consultation
with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) regarding the PNG Line 125 Relocation Project. To
facilitate permit issuance and further identify construction and schedule constraints associated
with threatened and endangered species, we are requesting an informal review be completed of
PNG’s proposed pipeline relocation to identify areas of concern related to protected species, and
to determine if additional field surveys will be required to support the consultation.
Project Description
The project is located within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin, adjacent to an unnamed tributary of
Walnut Creek (Figure 1). A North Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) road widening
project will impact 950ft of Line 125 along Kingsboro Road in Tarboro, NC. This project will
relocate this section of pipe to a new proposed route that will be approximately 1,540ft of 6” natural
gas steel transmission pipeline. The project footprint comprises an approximate 0.29-mile corridor
in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. The project is needed to increase system capacity and
ensure pipeline integrity. Construction is anticipated to begin in November 2020.
The project area is located primarily within privately-owned land. A map illustrating the project
location over United States Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map is enclosed (Figure 2).
Replacement of the existing pipeline will require a construction right-of-way (ROW) ranging from
40ft to 75ft wide. Additional temporary workspaces and access roads will be utilized in limited
areas dependent upon access. The entirety of the pipeline relocation will be installed utilizing
open cut methods. Following installation of the pipe, the trench will be backfilled and returned to
pre-construction grade. A 40ft wide permanent maintenance easement will be maintained within
the wetland impact area and a 50ft wide permanent maintenance easement will be maintained
for the remainder of the pipeline in an herbaceous state. The remaining temporary workspaces
will be allowed to regenerate naturally.
Field delineations of streams and wetlands were completed in January 2020 (Figure 3). A list of
wetlands and streams within the construction ROW is provided below.

Based on completed projects with the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) in North Carolina, federal
jurisdictional wetland and surface water impacts associated with this project are authorized under
Nationwide Permit (NWP) 12, as impacts are limited to temporary construction and tree clearing.
In accordance with the Wilmington District Regional General Conditions for a NWP 12 permit, no
mitigation plan is required because the permanent clearing impacts to forested wetland s will be
less than 1/10th of an acre. The applicant will obtain a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination
from the ACOE to define and delineate regulated waters of the U.S.
In accordance with the Wilmington District Regional General Conditions for a NWP 12 permit,
because the word corridor within the wetland area does not exceed 40ft in width, there will be less
than 1/10th of an acre of wetland impact, and less than 150 linear feet of stream channel within
the construction corridor, a Preconstruction Notification (PCN) is not required for this project.
However, to facilitate Section 401 Water Quality Certification and Stream Buffer Determination
requirements from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), a PCN will be
submitted to the Wilmington District ACOE office. Because no public noticing period is required
under a NWP, we are requesting informal consultation with FWS regarding listed species.
Species Evaluation
Kleinfelder has completed a review of federal species having the potential for occurrence in the
relevant habitats associated with the project under the FWS Information for Planning and
Consultation resource list (IPaC; enclosed), and as designated by the FWS Raleigh Office Listed
Species by County for Edgecombe County. The following species are identified:

Additionally, a response to our request for records search under the North Carolina Department
of Natural and Cultural Resources Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) was received on January
14, 2020 (enclosed). This record search identified the Tar River Spinymussel and Red-cockaded
Woodpecker as the only federally listed species within a 1-mile radius of the project area, and the
Carolina Madtom as the only state listed species.
Species specific surveys were not completed for the Carolina Madtom, Tar River Spinymussel,
or Red-cockaded Woodpecker during the wetland and stream delineations, however the project
area is outside of FWS Critical Habitat for the Carolina Madtom and no critical habitat has been
designated for the Tar River Spinymussel or Red-cockaded Woodpecker.
Summary
Piedmont Natural Gas proposes to relocate the existing natural gas steel pipeline adjacent to the
existing pipeline location. The project footprint comprises an approximate 0.29-mile corridor in
Edgecombe County, North Carolina. The project area lies within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin and
located adjacent to an unnamed tributary of Walnut Creek.
We are requesting an informal review be completed of the proposed pipeline construction to
identify areas of concern related to protected species. To aid in your review and determination,
we have provided as an enclosure a route map of the proposed project on USGS topographic
maps (Figure 3). A GIS file of the project route and stream crossings will be provided by email.
Should you have any questions or require additional documentation please contact me at
904.538.9171 or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
KLEINFELDER

RE: Line 125 - Kingsboro Road ; 20202880.01A
Dear Chris Kul:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached ‘Potential Occurrences’ table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one-mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Clean Water Management Trust Fund
easement, or Federally-listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919-707-8603.

IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat (collectively referred to as
trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near
the project area referenced below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that
could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and
extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g.,
vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction
in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds,

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species. Additional areas of
influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of the species range if the species could be
indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population, even if that fish does not occur
at the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can
move, and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To
fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often required.
., f TA
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary information whether any
species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is
conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills
this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC
(see directions below) or from the local field office directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and request an official
species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.

The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be present in your project
area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please
make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or
attempting to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a
particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species
presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have
higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was
detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey
events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is
0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the
probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the
probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is
https://ecos.fws.gov/ipac/location/CD134QJJG5G6NCJZTHKQ6VVP2E/resources 7/13

IPaC: Explore Location
the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is
0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible
values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are
no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species
in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 6'
surveys.
To see a Dar survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to
this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is
currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
1
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round.
Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be
breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure.
To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional
measures and/or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species
present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special
attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based
on a growing collection of survey,, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as
occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a
BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds
that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the AKN Phenology Tool.

What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN).
This data is derived from a growing collection of survey., banding, and citizen science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the
probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me
about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may refer to
the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest
there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with
it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is
indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA
(including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements
(for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore
energy development or longline fishing). ogot. %
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to
the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can
implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your
project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa
besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal
maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the
Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.

Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying
on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the
nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts
occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how
your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to
generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence"
of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high
survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In
contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is
not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be
there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and
helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities,
should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can
implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act,
or other State/Federal statutes.
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of Engineers District.
Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to update our NWI data set. We
recommend you verify these results with a site visit to determine the actual extent of wetlands on site. A T

A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory website
Data limitations ,
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information on the location, type and
size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible
hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may
result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the amount and quality of
the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the
source imagery used and any mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be occasional differences in
polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the actual conditions on site.

Data exclusions
IPaC: Explore Location
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial imagery as the primary data
source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal
zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded
from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a different manner than that
used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of
any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons
intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state,
or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities.
