Riparian wetlands cover the majority of the site. Multiple Duke Energy transmission and distribution are located on the site and in the general vicinity. The site was recently clear for a
new transmission line (Grants Creek - Jacksonville 230k). Hand -clearing methods were used to remove the trees from the project area during the transmission line construction portion
of the project. The original construction for the transmission line was determined by the USACE to be covered under NWP 12 without notification being required due to no proposed
regulated Section 404 discharges being proposed. All original clearing was completed by hand and work was performed from mats to avoid ground disturbance.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*

r Yes r No r Unknown
4c. If yes, please give the DWR Certification number or the Corps Action ID (exp. SAW-0000-00000).

The proposed project is to construct a gravel access road and pad for mobile transmission line access. A truck with a trailer will be used to bring in a mobile transmission switch. The
mobile transmission switch is needed for routine line maintenance.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project will involve extending the existing gravel drive and building a gravel access drive to a gravel substation pad. There will be geotextile under the gravel. The grading the of
pad will require additional grading to the areas outside the pad. Standard construction equipment (excavator, backhoe, dump trucks) will be used. 0.2 acres of wetlands will be
permanently impacted and 0.05 acres of wetlands will be temporarily impacted in order to install the erosion control measures (silt fence).

Expiration of Acceptance: 1/8/2021
Project: Grants Creek - Jacksonville 230kV Transmission Switch Access County: Onslow
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

Upon receipt of payment, DMS will take responsibility for providing the compensatory mitigation. The
mitigation will be performed in accordance with the In -Lieu Fee Program instrument dated July 28, 2010.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause

Hydrologic Soil Group—Onslow County, North Carolina
Description
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive
precipitation from long -duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and
three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively
drained sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water
transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well
drained soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of
water transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink -swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay
layer at or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious
material. These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in
their natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.

Duke Energy Progress, LLC — Grants Creek 230kV Gravel Switch Access and Pad
Project History: Hand -clearing methods were used to remove the trees from the project area during the
transmission line construction portion of the project. The original construction for the transmission line
was determined by the USACE to be covered under NWP 12 without notification being required due to
no proposed regulated Section 404 discharges being proposed. All original clearing was completed by
hand and work was performed from mats to avoid ground disturbance.
Compensatory Mitigation Proposal
The proposed project will permanently impact 0.2 acres of riverine forested wetlands.
The currently proposed pad and gravel access road was not part of the original proposal as it was not
anticipated at that time. Construction of this pad and gravel access does constitute a regulated
discharge under NWP 12 and the applicant is proposing compensatory mitigation for the impact. The
permanent wetlands impacts are the result of the construction of a gravel access road and pad that will
be used for mobile transmission switch access and staging in Onslow County. Duke Energy proposes to
mitigate the 0.2 acres of wetland impacts at a 1:1 ratio.

Duke Energy Progress, LLC — Grants Creek 230kV Gravel Switch Access and Pad
Project History: Hand -clearing methods were used to remove the trees from the project area during the
transmission line construction portion of the project. The original construction for the transmission line
was determined by the USACE to be covered under NWP 12 without notification being required due to
no proposed regulated Section 404 discharges being proposed. All original clearing was completed by
hand and work was performed from mats to avoid ground disturbance.
Compensatory Mitigation Proposal
The proposed project will permanently impact 0.2 acres of riverine forested wetlands.
The currently proposed pad and gravel access road was not part of the original proposal as it was not
anticipated at that time. Construction of this pad and gravel access does constitute a regulated
discharge under NWP 12 and the applicant is proposing compensatory mitigation for the impact. The
permanent wetlands impacts are the result of the construction of a gravel access road and pad that will
be used for mobile transmission switch access and staging in Onslow County. Duke Energy proposes to
mitigate the 0.2 acres of wetland impacts at a 1:1 ratio.
Mitigation credits for HUC 03020302 were not available for purchase through the mitigation banks. See
attached NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services acceptance letter 0.2 acres of riparian wetland.
