4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Dominion Energy is currently planning an appro>mately 2.3-mile natural gas pipeline extension near Knightdale, Wake County, North Carolina. The purpose of the project is to connect
two existing natural gas lines that are currently located along Poole Road.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The pipeline is proposed for construction within an wasting ROW owned by the NCDOT, and in most areas, the disturbed width will be approximately 10 feet. The project includes a
proposed horizontal directional drill (HDD) crossing of Marks Creek, and a conventional crossing of an unnamed tributary (Stream 1) and wetlands that are located adjacent to the
stream. At this location, insufficient cover is available above the epsting culverts and headwall to install the pipe within the road shoulder.
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of disturbance 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 the wetland area, and conversion of forested wetlands is not required.
Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary E&SC measures in upland areas, industry -standard equipment will be used to excavate a trench 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 ROW and placed on skids (wooden pedestals). The
pipe segments will be heat -welded together, inspected, and then lowered into the trench. Affected areas will then be "cleaned up by backfilling the trench, applying permanent seeding
and mulch, and restoring the affected area as closely as possible to pre -disturbance contours and conditions. All work within the wetland and at the stream crossing will be conducted in
accordance with the applicable permit conditions.
4j. Please upload project drawings for the proposed project.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation U
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The proposed pipeline was routed to avoid and/or minimize wetland and stream impacts by utilizing areas that have been previously developed (the
NCDOT ROW). The crossing of Marks Creek (S3) has been designed as an HDD such that impacts are avoided. Similarly, impacts to another on -site
stream (S1) will be avoided by installing the new pipe in the NCDOT ROW above the wasting culvert.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
At the S2/WA crossing, Dominion Energy plans to conduct all work within the wasting NCDOT easement. At this crossing, a dam -and -pump system will
be used to divert clean water flowaround 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.

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:

r Yes r No
5j. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat?
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 locate
potential habitat or the presence of protected terrestrial species that were identified through the records review.
The NCNHP provided an August 26, 2020 report that identified one record of red -cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis) and Michaw>ts sumac
within one mile of the site. The report did not identify additional records of rare federal species, within one mile of the site.
Based on pedestrian assessments conducted by S&ME, it was determined that the project corridor does not contain suitable habitat for red -cockaded
woodpecker. Marks Creek is the only waterbody within the project corridor with potentially -suitable habitat for any of the aquatic species listed.
Because the crossing of Marks Creek is proposed as an HDD, impacts to the listed aquatic species are not anticipated.
Following the USACE's informal review of the information initially provided by S&ME in September 2020, their office determined that the proposed
project would have no effect on endangered, threatened or proposed -for -listing species, under Section 7 of ESA. The reaches that would be impacted
are zero- and first -order tributaries directly upstream from a large pond/lake. Further, the streams are filled with silt/sediment, with very little substrate,
and there does not appear to be suitable habitat.

7a. Will this project occur in or near an area that the state, federal or tribal governments have designated as having historic or cultural preservation status?*
r Yes r No
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological resources?*
S&ME reviewed the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS web mapping service, which identified several sites within one mile of the project
area. However, because the new pipe will be installed within eAsting NCDOT ROW, and no temporary workspace will be necessary in areas propmate
to these sites, the project should have no effect on historic resources.

RE: Wendell-Knightdale Connector; 7335-20-095
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:
httr)s://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 rod ney.butlerCo�ncdcr.aov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

Consultation Code: 04EN2000-2020-SLI-1800
Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-04096
Project Name: Wendell-Knightdale Connector
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

09/09/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-04096
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 6 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.

Restoration Plan
DENC Wendel l-Knightdale Connector
Wendell, North Carolina
The proposed project has been designed to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts where practicable. As
part of mitigation for unavoidable impacts, the following plan shall be implemented to restore temporarily -
affected wetlands and 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.
