Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Hwy 751 Phase 2A Pipeline
Chatham/Wake Counties, NC
S&ME Project No. 7335-20-032
Written concurrence from the USACE is required because the project will occur within a maintained
roadside easement, which is considered suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac (Rhus michouxi), although
no populations of this species were observed. The project will otherwise comply with applicable
conditions of NWP-12.
Written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) is required because
the project may not cross all stream channels at a near -perpendicular angle but will otherwise comply
with the application conditions of WQC 4133. Similarly, NCDWR approval for Jordan watershed riparian
buffer impacts is not required because the work will occur within an existing, maintained easement and
will not result in a change to its existing use. Therefore, this activity is identified as "exempt" by the rules.
General Project Information
Dominion Energy is currently planning a natural gas pipeline extension in Chatham and Wake Counties,
North Carolina. The purpose of the project is to provide natural gas service and improve system strength
in the existing service area.
The new pipe will extend from a point on the west side of New Hill Olive Chapel Road in Wake County
northward to a proposed station site on the south side of Lewter Shop Road in Chatham County
(35.793498°N,-78.944536°W). A portion of the new route will cross property owned by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (USACE), but within a designated limits of disturbance (LOD) located within the
NCDOT right-of-way (ROW). The new pipe will be approximately 5.4 miles in length and will also cross
White Oak Creek and its associated riparian wetland areas. As indicated, however, the pipe will be
installed within the existing NCDOT ROW adjacent to Highway 751 such that impacts are avoided.
The approximate location of the revised pipeline relocation project area is depicted on the Site Vicinity
Exhibit (Figure 1), appropriate portions of the Green Level, NC and 2002 New Hill, NC USGS Topographic
Quad Sheets shown on the USGS Topographic Map Exhibit (Figure 2), NRCS Soils Map Exhibit (Figure 3) ,
and on the Aerial Orthoimagery Exhibit (Figure 4). The project vicinity consists primarily of a mixture of
residential development, open land and forested areas.
Description of the Proposed Work
The pipeline will be installed within a designated LOD located within the NCDOT ROW. 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. No
grubbing or below -ground vegetation removal will occur within wetland areas except for the trench line
and for safety purposes.
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 within the wetlands and at the stream

crossings will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permit conditions. Typical stream and
wetland crossing details are provided with the information submitted online.
Jurisdictional Areas
S&ME initially visited the project area on March 19, 2020 and again on June 9, 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. The field
review also included identification of tributaries (streams or jurisdictional ditches) 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, and again on June 9, 2020. During the site visits, the boundaries of
regulated surface waters were demarcated using sequentially -numbered flagging. The location of the
jurisdictional features is depicted on Figures 5 and 6. Representative Wetland/Upland Data Forms and
typical photographs of the subject features were included with the information submitted online and are
attached.
Multiple jurisdictional features were identified within the proposed project area during the site visit. The
temporarily affected wetlands within the project are characterized as headwater wetlands. Project -wide
stream and wetland 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 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.
To determine which of the affected streams are subject to riparian buffer rules, S&ME conducted field
reviews of the project corridor as part of the delineation efforts. Those features that appeared on the most
recent version of the appropriate Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey or the appropriate

Pre -Construction Notification

S&ME Project No. 7335-20-032
1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps, and scored greater than 19.0 points on the
NCDWR Stream Assessment Form (Version is 4.11, effective September 1, 2010) were considered subject
to the buffer.
The project will result in temporarily disturbance within buffers at the stream crossing locations. However,
the crossings are exempt because they will occur within the maintained NCDOT ROW where no
permanent vegetation removal is required, and the existing, on -going use (a maintained easement) will
not change. Upon completion of the work, affected portions of the buffer will be restored, seeded, and
mulched with a native riparian seed mix.
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 March 10, 2020 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 (IPaQ 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.
Review of the aforementioned database identified the following records of significant natural
communities or habitat areas, game lands, federal or state property, or managed conservation lands
crossed or adjacent to the project route:
White Oak Creek Floodplain
B. Everett Jordan Dam and Lake
White Oak Creek Floodplain Registered Heritage Area
The report also identified the following additional natural areas and protected sites within a one -mile
radius of the proposed route:
Beaver Creek Floodplain

The NCNHP database report identified an occurrence of bald eagle within one mile of the project route.
The reported occurrences of bald eagle are located along the shoreline of Jordan Lake. The closest
occurrence is approximately 1,200 feet west of the project route where it parallels NC Highway 751.
Based on pedestrian assessments conducted by S&ME, it was determined that the project corridor does
not contain suitable habitat for any of the aquatic species, nor the following terrestrial species: red -
cockaded woodpecker, southern hognose snake and bog spicebush. Habitat for bald eagle is located near
but not within the proposed project corridor. A summary of the sole remaining terrestrial species,
Michaux's sumac, is provided below.
Michaux's Sumac
Status: Federally -Listed Endangered
Biological Determination: May Affect Not Likely to Adversely Affect
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 (Pospolum
bifidum), woodland sunflower (Helianthus divaricatus), Carolina fluffgrass (Tridens carolinionus), winged
sumac, green silkyscale (Anthoenantio villoso), skeletongrass (Gymnopogon sp.), and woolysheath
threeawn (Aristida lanosa). This species does not tolerate shade or wet soils.

Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Hwy 751 Phase 2A Pipeline
Chatham/Wake Counties, NC
S&ME Project No. 7335-20-032
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.
A copy of the Match 10, 2020 NCNHP report is included with the information submitted online with the E-
PCN.
Historic and Archaeological Resources
To help determine compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966,
S&ME submitted a scoping letter to the NCSHPO on March 9, 2020. NCSHPO responded with an April 15,
2020 letter stating that they conducted a review of the project and are not aware of any historic resources
which would be affected by the project. Therefore, NCSHPO has no comment on the project as proposed.
A copy of the SHPO letter is provided with the information submitted online.
Avoidance and Minimization
The proposed easement was routed to avoid wetlands and streams where feasible and utilize areas that
have been previously developed (the NCDOT ROW). Once work affecting a stream or wetland is initiated,
it will be carried to completion in an expeditious manner to minimize the period of disturbance. Typical
details for stream/wetland crossings are 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.
Equipment working in wetlands will do so from timber or composite mats, or other measures will be
employed to limit ground disturbance and mixing of topsoil and subsoil.
At streams, 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.

S&ME Project No. 7335-20-032
The top 6-12 inches of wetland topsoil or 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 within wetlands or 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. The affected wetland area will be seeded with a native wetland seed mix;
however, no heavy mulching will occur within the wetland.
Construction equipment operating near the streams and wetland areas will be limited to that
necessary for excavation, pipe installation and restoration activities.
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. 12 and WQC No. 4133. Following the work,
the affected areas will be restored to their original grade and contour (see General Restoration Plan). 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 loss of wetlands or waters of the US. In addition, the project will not convert
forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands, and all affected areas will be restored to original grade and
contour. 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. Stream impacts authorized under NWP 12 are considered temporary if the affected streams are
restored to original pre -construction contours once construction is completed, and do not involve the
permanent placement of hard armor. A general stream and wetland restoration plan was provided with

Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Hwy 751 Phase 2A Pipeline
Chatham/Wake Counties, NC
S&ME Project No. 7335-20-032
the information submitted online with the E-PCN. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that purchase of
stream mitigation credit will be required.
The project will cross two streams subject to Jordan reservoir riparian buffer rules. However, the crossings
will occur within an existing easement and will not result in a change in use. Accordingly, these crossings
are considered exempt from the buffer rules, and do not require mitigation.

General Restoration Plan
DENC Hwy 751 Phase 2A Pipeline
Chatham/Wake Counties, NC
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 the 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 within wetlands or along the
stream banks. Further, disturbed wetland areas and 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. 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 buffer areas.

Riparian Seed Mix is to be applied to all disturbed streambanks and buffer areas. The recommended
application rate: 20 lbs. per acre.

The native seed mix identified in Table 2 below will be utilized within the temporarily -disturbed wetland
areas.

Wetland Seed Mix is to be applied to the disturbed wetland areas. The recommended application rate: 20 lbs.
per acre. To provide quicker cover, the mixes specified in Tables 1 and 2 should also be augmented with the
appropriate cover/companion species, as identified in Table 3.

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.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. 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 documented within the project area or 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.
Also please note that 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 an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is 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 rodney.butlerLncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

Project Name: DENC Hwy 751 Phase 2A
June 29, 2020
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

06/29/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-03264
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
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://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratory birds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis
of this office at [e-mail].

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
if you have questions.
