Dear Mr. Phillips and Mr. Wojoski:
On behalf of our client, Dominion Energy North Carolina (DENC), S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) hereby submits this
notification to inform you of work they plan to conduct in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) 18
and the corresponding North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 4139. The project will involve
the proposed installation of a natural gas pipeline within an existing NC Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) right-of-way (ROW).
The application and accompanying support information is being submitted through the NCDWR E-PCN
website (httl2s://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Pre-Construction Notification FormU. The supporting
information submitted online consists of the following:

Arlington Meadows / Geneva Project
Fuquay Varina, North Carolina
S&ME Project 7335-20-21
Written concurrence from the USACE is required because the project will result in temporary impacts to
aquatic resources. The project will otherwise comply with applicable conditions of NWP-18.
Written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) is also required
because the project involves excavation in streams, but will comply with all applicable conditions of WQC
No. 4139. The project area is not located within an NC river basin subject to riparian buffer rules.
General Project Information
DENC is currently planning to extend an existing natural gas pipeline along the east side of Angier Road
near Fuquay Varina, Wake County, NC. The purpose of the project is to provide natural gas service to the
Arlington Meadows and Geneva residential developments that are currently under construction. The new
line will begin at the terminus of the existing line near Amber Ridge subdivision (35.565522°N, -
78.785940°W) and extend southeast for approximately 5,200 feet and ending at a proposed stub -out
(35.552488°N,-78.784218°W)just beyond the proposed residential developments. The pipeline is
proposed for construction within an existing ROW owned by the NCDOT, and in most areas the disturbed
width will be approximately 10 feet. The project includes conventional crossings of two jurisdictional
streams. Portions of the existing NCDOT ROW are currently being widened and construction activity
associated with that work is ongoing.
The general project location is depicted on the Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1). The project vicinity consists
primarily of existing residential development or formerly undeveloped areas that have been cleared and
graded for construction of the new subdivision phase. The location of the project corridor is depicted in
greater detail on the appropriate U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map Exhibit (Figure 2) and
NRCS Soil Survey Exhibit (Figure 3).
Description of the Proposed Work
The pipeline will be installed within a new 10-foot wide permanent easement, although areas of additional
temporary workspace may be required in certain upland areas.
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries,
and other associated workspaces, etc. Appropriate erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC) measures
will be installed as clearing proceeds to help prevent sedimentation of adjacent jurisdictional features.
Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary E&SC measures in upland areas, the
trench will be excavated along the "non -working" side of the easement. Lengths of the new pipe will be
trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the easement and placed on skids
(wooden pedestals). The pipe segments will be heat -welded together, inspected, and then lowered into
the trench. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and the trench will be
backfilled. 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. All work at the stream crossings will be
conducted in accordance with the applicable permit conditions.

Jurisdictional Areas
S&ME visited the project area on May 27, 2020 to delineate jurisdictional features located therein. S&ME
followed the procedures set forth in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and the appropriate
Regional Supplemental Guidance. Field conditions were documented using USACE Routine Wetland
Determination Data Forms, as appropriate. Wetland areas were observed adjacent to the existing NCDOT
ROW but will not be affected by this work.
The field review also included identification of tributaries within the project area. Drainage features
identified during the field review were assessed to determine the jurisdictional status of the tributary.
Drainage features were classified as either non -jurisdictional or jurisdictional. S&ME used the NCDWR
Stream Classification Form to document characteristics of identified drainage features on the day of the
assessment. During the site visit, the boundaries of regulated surface waters were demarcated using
sequentially -numbered flagging. The location of the jurisdictional features is depicted on Figure 5.
Representative photographs of the subject features were included with the information submitted online.
Two jurisdictional streams (S1 and S2) were identified within the proposed project area during the site
visit. Although wetland areas were identified, they are located outside of the ROW, and will be avoided.
Project -wide stream impacts are summarized in Table 1.

All of the proposed impacts are temporarily in nature, and no forested wetland will be converted to
herbaceous wetlands. Typical construction details (Figures D01-11303) are included with the information
submitted online with the E-PCN. Following construction, the temporarily affected jurisdictional areas will
be returned to their pre -construction grade and contour, seeded, and stabilized.
Protected Species
To determine the project's compliance with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of
1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME conducted a search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program
(NCNHP) database to identify element occurrences (EOs) of such species listed as potentially occurring
near the project area. The NCNHP list was compared to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) service list. Additionally, S&ME personnel conducted a
pedestrian field review of the site in conjunction to locate potential habitat or the presence of protected
terrestrial species that were identified through the records review. The assessment did not include
sampling or a habitat assessment for aquatic or state -listed species.

The NCNHP provided a February 14 2020 report that did not identify records of federally protected
species within one mile of the site. Property managed open space and a park by Fuquay Varina are
identified within one mile of the route but will not be affected by the project. The NCNHP report is
included in the accompanying information submitted with the online PCN.
Review of the USFWS database identified the following federally -protected species with documented
populations in Wake County (Table 3).

Based on pedestrian assessments conducted by S&ME, it was determined that neither of the on -site
streams exhibited suitable habitat of the listed aquatic species. Similarly, the project corridor does not
contain suitable habitat for any of the listed terrestrial species, with the exception of Michaux's sumac.
Michaux's Sumac
Status: Federally -Listed Endangered
Biological Determination: No Effect
Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub with erect stems approximately one to three feet in
height. The compound leaves are evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Flowers are
small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster and are greenish yellow to white in color. Michaux's sumac

flowers between June and July and the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to
October.
Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils, surviving best in
areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. In North Carolina, observed
populations have been identified on highway rights -of -way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially
maintained clearings. It is commonly observed with species such as pitchfork crowngrass (Pospa(um
bifidum), woodland sunflower (He(ionthus divaricatus), Carolina fluffgrass (Tridens caro(inionus), winged
sumac, green silkyscale (Anthoenontio vi((oso), skeletongrass (Gymnopogon sp.), and woolysheath
threeawn (Aristido (anosa). This species does not tolerate shade or wet soils.
Threats to this species include its low reproductive capability, a reduction in habitat due to fire
suppression and habitat destruction due to residential and industrial development. The project corridor
contains areas of potentially suitable habitat for the above species. However, no individuals of Michaux's
sumac were observed. Based on our pedestrian field review, it is not anticipated that this project will
adversely affect populations of this species.
Copies of the NCNHP report is included with the information submitted online with the E-PCN.
Historic and Archaeological Resources
With respect to cultural resources, S&ME conducted a review of the National Historic Preservation Act GIS
database for structures that are eligible for listing within a one -mile radius of the project site. Review of
this database indicated that there the closest list site is the Robert Walkers House, located over 2,000 feet
southeast of the site. Otherwise, there are no properties listed by the site within 0.5-mile of the project
route.
Avoidance and Minimization
The proposed easement was routed to avoid wetlands and utilize areas that have been previously
developed (the NCDOT ROW) where practicable. At each stream crossing, DENC plans to limit its
workspace to the width of the existing NCDOT ROW, and a dam -and -pump system will be used to divert
clean water flow around the work area until the crossing is completed. Once work affecting the stream is
initiated, it will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner to minimize the period of disturbance.
Typical details for a temporary coffer dam and pump methodology for isolation of the trench excavation
were included in the information submitted online with the E-PCN.
Project BMPs used in connection with the conventional stream crossing include the following:
The crossings will be executed in as minimal amount of time necessary.
Sufficient equipment to execute the crossings in an expeditious, environmentally responsible manner
will be available on site prior to initiation of the crossing.
Efforts will be made to perform the crossings 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 crossing will be monitored during installation by personnel experienced in stream crossing
procedures, familiar with site conditions, and knowledgeable of North Carolina environmental

regulations. The monitor shall have the authority to stop work should conditions change and
additional or different measures be needed.
The upstream and downstream portions of the crossing point 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.
The top 6-12 inches of streambed substrate will be stockpiled separately from the subgrade material
and kept saturated during the installation.
Pumps will 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.
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.
Affected streambanks 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.
All disturbed areas on stream banks will be seeded with a customized seed mix that will extend 10-
feet landward of the jurisdictional boundary. Stream banks temporarily affected by trenching will be
stabilized with a native seed mix specifically designed for riparian areas, and with biodegradable coir
matting.
Construction equipment operating near the streams will be limited to that necessary for excavation,
pipe installation and restoration activities. Vegetation near the streams will be cut at ground level,
leaving existing root systems in place to promote re -growth.
Appropriate E&SC practices outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by the local governing authority shall be in
compliance with specifications governing the proper design, installation, operation, and maintenance of
such BMPs to comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard.
The project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 18 and WQC No. 4139. Following the work,
the affected areas will be restored to their original grade and contour. As proposed, the project will not
result in permanent changes to the ground surface elevation(s) in the proposed easement or permanently
affect the dimension, pattern, or profile of the subject streams. Temporarily affected areas are proposed
to be restored in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (submitted online with the E-PCN)
following completion of the work.

Mitigation
The project will not result in impacts to wetlands. Therefore, purchase of wetland mitigation credit is not
required.
The project will temporarily impact less than 150 linear feet of stream. No permanent stream impacts are
proposed. It is our understanding that stream impacts are generally considered temporary if the affected
portion is restored to original pre -construction contours once construction is completed, and the work
does not involve the permanent placement of hard armor. A general stream restoration plan was provided
with the information submitted online with the E-PCN. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that purchase of
stream mitigation credit will be required.

Restoration Plan
Arlington Meadows / Geneva Project
Fuquay Varina, North Carolina
S&ME Project 7335-20-21
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 the
temporarily -affected stream. This plan entails restoration of temporarily -disturbed areas to their original
contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Unless otherwise authorized by
the appropriate permits, no fills or spoils of any kind will be permanently placed along the stream banks.
Further, disturbed streambanks will be permanently stabilized using coir matting (with no plastic or nylon)
and native vegetative cover.
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 excess material relocated and retained on an upland site. The top several inches of excavated
streambed substrate 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 buffer areas.

Project Name: Angier Road Project
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or

web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://

Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at john_ellis@fws.gov.

Endangered Species Act Species
There is a total of 4 threatened, endangered, or candidate species on this species list.
Species on this list should be considered in an effects analysis for your project and could include
species that exist in another geographic area. For example, certain fish may appear on the species
list because a project could affect downstream species.
IPaC does not display listed species or critical habitats under the sole jurisdiction of NOAA
Fisheriesi, as USFWS does not have the authority to speak on behalf of NOAA and the
Department of Commerce.
See the "Critical habitats" section below for those critical habitats that lie wholly or partially
within your project area under this office's jurisdiction. Please contact the designated FWS office

RE. DENC Angier Rd Project, 7335-20-021
Dear Joey Lawler.
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 rodnev.butlerWncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program
