Piedmont Natural Gas proposes to construct the Ramsey Road segment of
the Highway 17 North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT)
Distribution Replacement Project (Project) near the City of Jacksonville in
Onslow County, North Carolina. The Project is located along a 3.19-mile
section of Ramsey Road (Route 1324) and Kellum Loop Road, northeast of
the City of Jacksonville. The Project will begin approximately 0.17 miles
east of the intersection of Route 1324 and Carolina Forest Boulevard,
proceeds east along Route 1324 for approximately 3.12 miles, turns
southeast and proceeds for 0.17 miles along Kellum Loop Road, and ends
at New Bern Highway (Highway 17).
The Project is being constructed to replace a portion of an existing natural
gas distribution pipeline that extends along Highway 17. This portion of the
pipeline will be decommissioned and removed due to a proposed NCDOT
project involving Highway 17. The NCDOT project will consist of widening
and reconfiguring Highway 17, and the existing pipeline needs to be
relocated to allow for the expansion. A location map has been provided in
Appendix D.
The Project will consist of installing approximately 16,922 linear feet of 8-
inch medium -dense polyethylene (MDPE) natural gas distribution pipeline
within a proposed 35-foot-w4de construction easement. The easement will
consist of a 20-foot-wide temporary work area and a 15-foot-wide
permanent maintenance easement to remain post -construction.
Construction will involve 11,309 feet of conventional open cut trenching,
5,438 feet of horizontal directional drilling (HDD), and 175 feet of auger
bore. Construction will involve the use of typical heavy construction
equipment (e.g., excavators, dozers, scrapers, side booms) and will be
executed in compliance with all required permits and regulatory conditions.
The Project will span across wetlands and tributaries associated with Wolf
Swamp. The majority of the construction easement will be located within
existing maintained utility easements; however, some tree clearing will be
required within the construction easement to allow proper access and
clearance for construction activities.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
