4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG) Line 473 project (Project) is to meet customer demands and continue to provide reliable service to its epsting and future customers in
the greater Clayton area.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*

The Project includes the construction and operation of an approximately 1.75-mile, 8-inch natural gas pipeline. The pipeline will tie into the existing Line 94 pipeline south of NC
Business Route 70 and at the southern terminus of Wildwood Drive. The pipeline will then travel north along Wildwood Drive and cross NC Business Route 70 and the North Carolina
Railroad via Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD). The route then continues northwest paralleling NC Business Route 70 and the railroad before turning northeast/east along Highway 42.
The pipeline extends along Highway 42 for approximately 0.8-miles before crossing to the north side of the road via a conventional bore and terminating at the Flowers Plantation
Regulator Station. The pipeline terminus points are at: south/west (35.626745,-78.43911) and north/east (35.643098,-78.430338). An approximately 0.3-acre launcher and main line
valve station is proposed at the southern terminus and the Flowers Plantation Regulator Station is approximately 0.5 acres.
The pipeline will be installed using conventional open cut construction in most areas. Conventional open cut construction of the line will require a 50-foot-wide to 150-foot-wide
construction corridor. The permanent easement will be 50-feet-wide north of NC Business Route 70 and 30-feet-wide south of NC Business Route 70 due to landowner negotiations.
The permanently maintained corridor through wetlands and streams will be 30-feet-wide as detailed in the attached PNG Permanently Maintained Access Protocol and noted on the
construction drawings. For the three stream crossings and wetlands along Highway 42 (Streams A, C, and D), the 50-foot-wide permanent easement will be acquired with a 30-foot-wide
maintained corridor and the remaining 20-foot-wide area will serve as temporary construction workspace. There is no additional temporary workspace proposed outside the 50-foot-wide
permanent easement at the stream crossings and within the 50-foot riparian buffer in an effort to reduce impacts to the %use River protected riparian buffers and to reduce impacts to
Wetland A and Wetland C.
Maintaining a minimum 50-foot-wide construction corridor throughout the Project maintains a standard equipment and labor force workflow, particularly around waterbody crossings,
trenches, and other hazards. The minimum 50-foot-wide construction corridor will reduce variability in day-to-day activities and, therefore, helps to minimize jobsite hazards. Additionally,
the wider 75-foot-wide construction corridor through Wetland A and Stream A north of NC Business Route 70 is required because the route parallels the railroad along the north side of
NC Business Route 70, which limits access points to the construction corridor. The additional temporary workspace is needed to install proper matting and for equipment to move in both
directions along this portion of the route. Construction will involve the use of common heavy construction equipment (e.g., excavators, dozers, scrapers, side booms) and Will comply with
all necessary permits and regulatory conditions.
Construction and operation of the Project will result in the permanent conversion of approximately 0.2-acres of PFO wetlands to PEM wetlands. There will be no net loss of wetlands as a
result of the Project. There will be a short-term direct impact to 79 linear feet of perennial stream and 167 linear feet of intermittent stream during construction. The stream bed and
bank will be returned to preconstruction conditions once the pipeline has been installed. Indirect impacts to waters should be minimal as Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be
installed for the purposes of erosion and sediment controls. BMPs will be checked regularly to confirm they are functioning as designed and expected.
PNG plans to begin construction in January 2021; and the anticipated in-service date is April 2021.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation U'
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The pipeline was routed to followeAsting roads and highways instead of cutting through large areas of undisturbed forest containing wetland and
stream features. Additionally, no additional temporary workspace is proposed for the three stream crossings along Highway 42 in an effort to reduce
impacts to streams, wetlands, and the protected Meuse River riparian buffers. Please see attached No Practical Alternative for more information.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Construction matting will be used at the open cut stream crossings and through the wetland crossings. The project will be constructed in accordance
with state/local and federal guidelines pertaining to minimizing impacts during construction. An approved and certified erosion and sediment control
plan will be provided to the contractor for proper implementation of appropriate BMPs. Additionally, measures to minimize wetland and stream channel
impacts from vehicle activity will be utilized.

Re Project: Piedmont Natural Gas — Line 473
This document confirms that Piedmont Natural Gas (Applicant) for the Piedmont Natural Gas — Line
473 (Project) has expressed an interest to utilize 0.23 Riparian Wetland Mitigation Credits from the
EBX-Neuse sponsored Neu -Con Wetland & Stream Umbrella Mitigation Bank, specifically from the
Hannah Bridge Site in the Neuse HUC 03020201. As the official Bank Sponsor, EBX-Neuse I, LLC,
attests to the fact that mitigation is available for reservation at this time.
These mitigation credits are not considered secured, and consequently are eligible to be used for alternate
purposes by the Bank Sponsor, until payment in full is received from the Applicant resulting in the
issuance of a Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate by the bank acknowledging that the Applicant has
fully secured credits from the bank and the Banker has accepted full responsibility for the mitigation
obligation requiring the credits/units.
The Banker will issue the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate within three (3) days of receipt of the
purchase price. Banker shall provide to Applicant a copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer Certificate and
a documented copy of the debit of credits from the Bank Official Credit Ledger(s), indicating the permit
number and the resource type secured by the applicant. A copy of the Mitigation Credit Transfer
Certificate, with an updated Official Credit Ledger will also be sent to regulatory agencies showing the
proper documentation.

PIEDMONT NATURAL GAS: PERMANENTLY
MAINTAINED ACCESS CORRIDOR PROTOCOL

PIEDMONT NATURAL GAS
Permanently Maintained Access Corridor Protocol
To Comply with NC Water Quality General Certification No. 4133
To comply with the NC Water Quality General Certification No. 4133 condition for permanent maintained
access corridors in wetlands and across stream channels to not exceed 30 feet wide for gas utility lines,
Piedmont Natural Gas has implemented the following protocol.
Piedmont Natural Gas does not use herbicides to maintain vegetation on permanent access corridors.
Mowing equipment and tree trimming equipment is utilized where feasible to ensure there is a clear line
of sight of the pipeline corridor to perform inspections per Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) regulations. Much of the inspections are conducted using aerial patrols which is
why it is important to ensure the tree canopy does not cover the pipeline corridor.
Piedmont Natural Gas right-of-way(ROW) maintenance staff utilize GIS software to identify permanent
access corridors based on recorded property easement data imported to the company internal asset
management system. Note, the ROW maintenance staff do not use construction or permit drawings to
plan maintenance activities. Once a project obtains environmental permits and/or approvals, the
shapefile data of the jurisdictional features delineation is imported to the internal asset management
system, displaying on an environmental layer which allows the jurisdictional boundaries viewable by the
ROW maintenance staff when planning maintenance activities.
Piedmont Natural Gas ROW maintenance staff have been trained on the NC GC 4133 conditions for
permanent maintained access corridors and are aware of the allowable maintenance widths. Often it is
difficult to perform vegetation maintenance in wetlands and at stream channels where there is steep
terrain or wet conditions limiting vehicular use resulting in less than 30 feet maintained, thus complying
with the NC GC 4133.

Please give a brief project description below.*

The Project includes the construction and operation of an approximately
1.75-mile, 8-inch natural gas pipeline. The pipeline will tie into the existing
Line 94 pipeline south of NC Business Route 70 and at the southern
terminus of Wildwood Drive. The pipeline will then travel north along
Wildwood Drive and cross NC Business Route 70 and the North Carolina
Railroad via Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD). The route then continues
northwest paralleling NC Business Route 70 and the railroad before turning
northeast/east along Highway 42. The pipeline extends along Highway 42
for approximately 0.8-miles before crossing to the north side of the road via
a conventional bore and terminating at the Flowers Plantation Regulator
Station. The pipeline terminus points are at: south/west (35.626745, -
78.43911) and north/east (35.643098,-78.430338). An approximately 0.3-
acre launcher and main line valve station is proposed at the southern
terminus and the Flowers Plantation Regulator Station is approximately 0.5
acres.
Please give a couple of dates you are available for a meeting.
