Re: Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Request for
Piedmont Natural Gas Line 473
Johnston County, North Carolina
Burns & McDonnell PN: 118874
Dear Mr. Hopper:
Burns & McDonnell Consultants, Inc. (Burns & McDonnell) was retained by Piedmont Natural
Gas (PNG) to provide wetland delineation services for the Line 473 Project. PNG is proposing
the installation of approximately 1.75 miles of 8-inch transmission pipeline, Line 473, from its
existing Line 94 and ending on the proposed Flowers Crossing Regulator Station on NC
Highway 42 (Project). Additionally, PNG is proposing to construction a new launcher and main
line valve station at the beginning point at Line 94.
The proposed Project has the potential to impact wetlands or other waterbodies that may be
under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as designated by Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act. In an effort to minimize potential impacts on regulated waterbodies, Burns &
McDonnell teamed with Maser Consulting P.A. to conduct a wetland and waterbody delineation
survey along a 300-foot-wide study corridor, centered over the proposed pipeline route in
October 2019. A follow-up delineation survey was conducted in June 2020 to further define the
boundary and extent of the identified wetlands and waterbody features near the proposed Project,
and to conduct a delineation survey of the proposed temporary construction lydown yard near
Pony Farm Road. These two delineation events combine for a total Study Area of approximately
71 acres.
Included in the request for a preliminary jurisdictional determination are the following
documents:
• Pipeline Route Map and Laydown Yard Displaying Landowner information
• Project -specific Agent Authorization Form
• Jurisdictional Determination Request Form
• Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination Form
• Table of Wetlands and Waterbodies within Study Area

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
0 I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
❑ I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a
Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre -
construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or
other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) the
applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can
accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and
conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has
determined to be necessary; (5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance
or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7)
whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms
and conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively
appealed pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On behalf of Burns and McDonnell, Maser Consulting conducted field delineations for the Piedmont
Natural Gas (PNG) Line 473 Project located within Clayton City, Johnston County, North Carolina near
the intersection of NC Highway 42 and NC Business Route 70. Duke Energy is proposing the
installation of approximately 1.4 miles of Normal Pipe Size (NPS) 8" Transmission pipeline from
existing Line 94 towards the existing Clayton City Gate 92 Regulation Station on NC Highway 42. In
addition, two new regulator stations are proposed at the connection points (beginning and ending) of Line
473. A laydown area is also proposed located approximately 1620 feet southwest of the intersection of
NC Business Route 70 and Pony Farm Road.
A Project Study Area that is approximately 71.398 acres in size was investigated to identify potential
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) and wetlands subject to Federal or State regulatory
jurisdiction. Based on the field investigations, four (4) stream features and three (3) wetland areas were
delineated within the Project Study Area by Maser Consulting on October 3, 2019 and June 25, 2020. A
total of 6.409 acres of jurisdictional wetland and 2,322 linear feet of jurisdictional stream was
delineated within the Project Boundary. Of the 6.409 acres of wetland, a total of 6.054 acres of
palustrine forested wetland (PFO) and 0.355 acres of palustrine emergent wetland (PEM) were
delineated. Of the 2,322 linear feet of stream, a total of 774 linear feet of perennial stream (R3)
and 1,548 linear feet of intermittent stream (R4) were delineated. It is Maser Consulting's
professional opinion that Wetland Areas "A", `B", and "C" and Stream Features "A", `B", "C", and "D"
would be considered jurisdictional WOTUS and wetlands since these features drain to Mill Creek, which
drains to the Neuse River.
Additional environmental encumbrances such as Waters of the U.S. Permitting and Riparian Buffers are
also discussed in the report. Based on an examination of these environmental encumbrances, there are
approximately 64.989 acres of developable land located outside jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
(WOTUS) and wetlands. In addition, Stream Features "A", "C", and "D" would be applicable to the
Neuse River Buffer Rules and would have a 50-foot Neuse River Buffer associated with them. Based on
the wetland and surface water delineation conducted by Maser Consulting, it is recommended that
information packages be prepared requesting a Jurisdictional Determination from the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) and a Neuse River Riparian Buffer Determination from the North Carolina Division
of Water Resources (NC DWR).

2.0 INTRODUCTION
The PNG Line 473 project is located within Clayton City, Johnston County, North Carolina near
the intersection of NC Highway 42 and NC Business Route 70. Duke Energy is proposing the
installation of approximately 1.4 miles of NPS 8 Transmission pipeline from Line 94 towards
Clayton City Gate 42 Regulation Station on NC Highway 42 in Clayton, North Carolina within
Johnston County. In addition, two new regulator stations are proposed. A laydown area is also
proposed located approximately 1620 feet southwest of the intersection of NC Business Route 70
and Pony Farm Road. The purpose of the project will be to continue to provide reliable service to
its existing and future customers in the greater Clayton Area.
The Project Boundary was investigated to identify potential jurisdictional Waters of the U.S.
(WOTUS) and wetlands subject to Federal or State regulatory jurisdiction. According to the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
regulations described in Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 CFR Section 328.3 and 40 CFR
Section 230.3) respectively, wetlands are "...areas that are inundated or saturated with surface or
ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances
do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions."
3.0 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The Project Boundary is located within the Neuse River Basin (HUC 03020201), and more
specifically, is located within the following four (4) sub -watersheds: Little Creek, Mill Creek-
Neuse River, Poplar Creek-Neuse River, and Cooper Branch. The western section of the Project
Boundary drains to Little Creek, which has a North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NC
DWR) Stream Index Number of 27-43-12 and a Stream Classification of C and Nutrient Sensitive
Waters (NSW). The central section of the Project Boundary drains to the Neuse River, which has
a NC DWR Stream Index Number of 27-(36) and a Stream Classification of Water Supply
Watershed V (WS-V) and NSW. The northern section of the Project Boundary drains to
Beddingfield Creek, which has a NC DWR Stream Index Number of 27-37 and a Stream
Classification of C and NSW. The proposed laydown area drains to Cooper Branch, which has a
NC DWR Stream Index Number of 27-43-13 and a Stream Classification of C and NSW. The
WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT PAGE 2

Project Boundary does not contain a floodway or a floodplain according to NC FIRM Maps
3720166800K, Version Number 2.3.3.2 and 3720167700K, Version Number 2.3.3.2 (both maps
revised June 20, 2018). Approximately 70 percent of the Project Boundary is comprised of
forested areas with a mixture of oak, hickory, and pine species dominating the canopy layer. The
remaining 30 percent of the Project Boundary is comprised of agricultural fields.
4.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Prior to onsite field investigations, several publicly available sources of information were reviewed
to determine the likelihood of wetlands and surface waters occurring within Project Boundary.
These mapping resources generally include, but are not limited to, the United States Geological
Survey (USGS) maps (Figure 1. Project Location Map, Appendix A), the U.S. Department of
Agriculture - Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) soils database (Figure 2. Soil Series
Map, Appendix A), National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) database (Figure 3. National Wetlands Inventory Map).
4.1 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEYMAP
The Project Boundary appears on the Clayton, NC Quadrangle USGS Map (Figure 1. Project
Location Map, Appendix A) and is depicted as primarily undeveloped forested land and cleared
land for agricultural uses. There is also a railroad that parallels NC Business Route 70, which the
proposed project crosses. The USGS map shows an intermittent stream feature within Project
Boundary located near NC Highway 42 and an intermittent stream feature within the proposed
laydown area. Based on the USGS map, elevations at the Project Boundary range from 260 to 300
feet above mean sea level (MSL).
4.2 SOIL SURVEY
The NRCS Web Soil Survey depicts the following eight (8) map units within the Project Boundary
and provides the corresponding drainage descriptions: CoB, FaB, GoA, McB, NoA, Ra, VrA, and
VrB.

• Cowarts loamy sand, 2 to 6 percent slopes (CoB) - Well drained and moderately slow
permeable soils with a depth to water table greater than 6 feet.
• Faceville sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes (FaB) - Well drained and moderately slow
permeable soils with a depth to water table greater than 6 feet.
• Goldsboro sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes (GoA) - Moderately well drained and
moderately high to highly permeable soils with a depth to water table greater than 2 to 3
feet.
• Marlboro -Cecil complex, 2 to 8 percent slopes (McB)- Moderately well drained and
moderate permeable soils with a depth to water table greater than 6 feet.
• Norfolk loamy sand 0 to 2 percent slopes (NoA) - Poorly drained and moderately slow
permeable soils located on broad interstream areas with a depth to water table within 1
foot.
• Rains sandy loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes (Ra) - Poorly drained and moderately permeable
soils with a depth to water table within 6 foot.
• Varina loamy sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes (VrA) - Well drained and moderately permeable
soils with a depth to water table greater than 4 feet.
• Varina loamy sand, 2 to 6 percent slopes (VrB) - Well drained and moderately low to
moderately high permeable soils with a depth to water table greater than 4 to 6 feet.
Of the eight (8) map units, the Norfolk loamy sand (NoA) and Rains sandy loam (Ra) soils are
listed as being hydric and are most likely to contain wetlands primarily due to the shallow seasonal
high-water table. In addition, the Soil Survey Map (Figure 2. Soil Survey Map, Appendix A)
shows four (4) intermittent stream features that are unnamed tributaries to Little Creek and the
Neuse River and one (1) intermittent stream feature that is an unnamed tributary to Cooper Branch
within the Project Area. The Soil Survey Map also shows open water bodies, or ponds, located
outside the Project Area along NC Highway 42 and within the central section.

5.0 WETLAND & SURFACE WATER DELINEATION METHODOLOGY
The wetland delineation methodologies developed by the USACE and the USEPA, as described
in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual, Technical Report Y-87-1 and the
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic & Gulf
Coastal Plain Region (Version 2.0) and subsequently issued USACE regulatory guidance
regarding the identification of jurisdictional stream channels through the recognition of field
indicators of an ordinary high-water mark within drainage features (Environmental Laboratory,
1987; USACE 2012; USACE 2005), were utilized during our investigation. These methodologies
generally involve the review of three parameters (vegetation, soils, hydrology) when making a
wetland or non -wetland determination. In addition, surface waters were delineated based upon the
methodology outlined in the NC DWR Methodology for Identification of Intermittent and
Perennial Stream and Their Origins (Version 4.11).
The Project Boundary was walked, community types were characterized, and wetland and surface
water boundaries were flagged. Sample stations were established along the boundaries to examine
vegetation, soils, and hydrology. Using this data, boundaries were established based on changes
in vegetation, soils, hydrology, and surface water characteristics.
6.0 WETLAND AND SURFACE WATER DELINEATION RESULTS
6.1 WETLAND AND SURFACE WATER SUMMARY
The on -site delineation did verify the presence of wetlands and surface waters within Project
Boundary. A summary of the jurisdictional areas identified within the Project Boundary is
provided below in Table 1: Jurisdictional Area Summary. The location and size of jurisdictional
areas delineated are shown on Figure 5: Wetland Determination Map (Appendix A).

6.2 VEGETATION
Representative plant species within the wetland areas include the following: American sycamore
(Platanus occcidentalis), red maple (Acer rubrum), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), river
birch (Betula nigra), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), water oak (Quercus nigra), ironwood
(Carpinus caroliniana), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium
vimineum), Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica), sedges (Carex sp.), and common rush
(Juncus effusus).
Representative plant species within the upland areas include the following: white oak (Quercus
alba), flowering dogwood (Corpus florida), American beech (Fergus grandifolia), loblolly pine
(Pious taeda), tulip poplar (Liriodendron tuilipifera), blackberry (Rubus argutus), bush clover
(Lespedeza sp.), goldenrod (Solidago sp.), and Japanese honeysuckle. Based on the Guide to the
Natural Communities of North Carolina (Schafale and Weakley, 2012), the upland forested areas
would be considered a dry-mesic oak hickory forest community. The dynamics of the dry-mesic
oak -hickory forest community are unevenly aged with older trees present and are generally
dominated by even -aged pine stands which are replaced by the climax oaks and hickories, only as
the pines die.
6.3 SOILS
Hydric soils are defined as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding
long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part of the
WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT PAGE 6
PNG LINE 473
CLAYTON CITY, JOHNSTON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA REVISED JULY 10, 2020

soil (USDA 2003). The soils in the wetland areas were variable, but for the most part, exhibited
low chroma matrices with redoximorphic features. Soils within the wetland areas onsite exhibit
low chroma matrix colors and concentrations that are characteristic of reducing anaerobic
conditions associated within the formation of hydric soils. Wetland soils are typically very dark
brown (10YR 2/2), very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2), and dark gray (10YR 4/1) within the
upper 8 inches. Jurisdictional soils are generally underlain by gray (1-YR 511), grayish brown
(10YR 5/2), or light brownish gray (10YR 6/2) down to 15 inches. Redox concentrations greater
than 3% were observed between 0 and 15 inches below soil surface and are typically dark
yellowish brown (10YR 4/6), yellowish brown (10YR 5/4), or strong brown (7.5YR 5/6, 7.5YR
4/6). Soils within jurisdictional areas meet the F3 Depleted Matrix hydric soil indicator. Textures
within the jurisdictional areas include silt, silt clay, loamy sand, sandy loam, sandy clay loam, and
clay. The upland soils within each area varied from brown (10YR 3/2) to strong brown (7.5YR
4/6) within the upper 16 inches. Soil textures include sandy loam, sandy clay loam, clay loam,
and loam.
6.4 HYDROLOGY
The delineated wetlands exhibited primary and secondary indicators of wetland hydrology.
Positive indicators of wetland hydrology on the property included the following: surface water
(Al), high water table (A2), saturation (A3), algal mat or crust (134), water -stained leaves (139),
and oxidized rhizospheres on living roots (0). Secondary indicators include drainage patterns
(1310), and the FAC-neutral test (135). Indicators of wetland hydrology are largely absent in upland
areas.
7.0 WETLAND DELINEATION CONCLUSION
Four (4) stream features and three (3) wetland areas were delineated within the Project Boundary
by Maser Consulting on October 3, 2019 and June 25, 2020. A total of 6.409 acres of jurisdictional
wetland and 2,322 linear feet of jurisdictional stream was delineated within the Project Boundary.
Of the 6.409 acres of wetland, a total of 6.054 acres of palustrine forested wetland (PFO) and 0.355
acres of palustrine emergent wetland (PEM) were delineated. Of the 2,322 linear feet of stream, a
WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT PAGE 7
PNG LINE 473
CLAYTON CrrY, JOHNSTON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA REVISED JULY 10, 2020

i
total of 774 linear feet of perennial stream (R3) and 1,548 linear feet of intermittent stream (R4)
were delineated.
Field investigations were conducted in accordance with the manuals, methodologies, and
regulatory guidance procedures as stated in Section 5.0 Wetland and Surface Water Delineation
Methodology. It is Maser Consulting's professional opinion that Wetland Areas "A", "B", and
"C" and Stream Features "A", "B", "C", and "D" and would be considered jurisdictional WOTUS
and wetlands since these features drain to Mill Creek, which drains to the Neuse River. Most of the
wetland areas located within the Project Boundary are characterized as forested wetland systems;
however, Wetland Features `B" and "C" have emergent wetland systems associated with them. The
unnamed tributaries to Mill Creek located within the Project Boundary vary between 1 to 2 feet wide
and range from 0.5 to 1.5 deep. The location and size of jurisdictional areas delineated are shown
on Figure 5. Wetland Determination Map (Appendix A).
8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
In addition to identifying potential jurisdictional WOTUS and wetlands subject to Federal or State
regulatory jurisdiction as part of this Wetland Delineation Report, Maser Consulting examined
other environmental encumbrances associated with the Project Boundary, to include the following:
Waters of the U.S. Permitting and Riparian Buffers.
8.1 WATERS OF THE U.S. PERMITTING
A Nationwide Permit (NWP) can be utilized if the project is designed to impact less than 0.50-
acre of jurisdictional wetlands/waters of the U.S. including a maximum of 300 linear feet of stream
channel impact. Construction activities proposing to impact wetland and/or streams may require
a permit depending on the specific activity within the wetland and/or stream. Pre -construction
notification (PCN) and approval from the USACE is required for those specific construction
activities that meet certain criteria and/or threshold levels. The processing time for PCN is 45 days
with the USACE and 60 days with DWR. All projects qualifying under a NWP are required to
submit a report (post -construction notification) within 30 days of completing the construction
WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT PAGE 8
PNG LINE 473
CLAYTON MY, JoHNSTON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA REVISED JULY 10, 2020

i
activity, describing and quantifying the impacts and stating that the conditions of the NWP have
been adhered to.
Utility line activities generally require a PCN if the project meets any of the following criteria:
(1) mechanized land clearing in forested wetlands;
(2) a section 10 permit is required;
(3) exceeds 500 feet in waters of the United States (excluding overhead lines);
(4) utility line placed within a jurisdictional area and runs parallel to or along a stream
bed that is within that jurisdictional area;
(5) discharges that result in the loss of greater than 0.10 acre of waters of the United
States;
(6) permanent access roads are constructed above grade in waters of the United States for a
distance of more than 500 feet;
(7) permanent access roads are constructed in waters of the United States with impervious
materials.
Mitigation Fees for Stream and Wetland Impacts
The USACE can require mitigation for any stream or wetland impacts. In most cases, stream
mitigation is not triggered until stream impacts approach 150 linear feet; wetland mitigation is
usually triggered when impacts exceed 0.1 acre. The following is the current fee schedule from
the NC Division of Mitigation Services (NC DMS) that allows for payment to offset wetland and
stream impacts.

*Note:
The Project Boundary is located within the Neuse River Basin (ITUC 03020201). The Neuse 03020201 is considered a "Premium
Rate Area" according to NC DMS; and therefore, rate is larger than Standard Service Area.
8.2 RIPARIAN B uFFERS
The Project Boundary is located within the Neuse River Basin. NC DWR has adopted buffer rules for
the Neuse River Basin (15A NCAC 02B. 0233). This rule applies 50-foot wide riparian buffers in the
WETLAND DELINEATION REPORT
PNG LINE 473
CLAYTON CITY, JOHNSTON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
PAGE 9
REVISED JULY 10, 2020

Neuse River Basin, directly adjacent to surface waters (intermittent and perennial streams, lakes, ponds,
and estuaries) excluding wetlands. For the purpose of this rule, surface waters must be present in the
field and be depicted on either the published USDA County soil survey map or the most recent USGS
topographic quadrangle map. Based on the field investigations, Stream Features "A", "C", and "D"
would have a 50-foot Neuse River Buffer associated with them. Streams within the Subject Property
that are applicable to the Neuse River Buffer Rules are shown on Figure 5. Wetland Determination Map
(Appendix A).
Allowable development activities within the stream buffers is dependent upon the type of use and
whether that activity is designated as Exempt, Allowable, Allowable With Mitigation, and/or
Prohibited. In general, utility line crossings are considered Exempt, Allowable, or Allowable With
Mitigation activities. You do not have to request a Buffer Authorization from NC DWR for
Exempt activities. You do have to request a Buffer Authorization from NC DWR for Allowable
activities. You do have to request a Buffer Authorization from NC DWR and provide mitigation
for Allowable With Mitigation activities. The following are the activity parameters for utility
lines:
Utility Line Exempt Activities:
- Perpendicular crossings that disturb equal to or less than 40 linear feet of riparian buffer
with a maintenance corridor equal to or less than 10 feet in width.
Utility Line Allowable Activities:
- Perpendicular crossings that disturb greater than 40 linear feet but equal to or less than 150
linear feet of riparian buffer with a maintenance corridor equal to or less than 10 feet in
width.
Utility Line Allowable With Mitigation Activities:
- Perpendicular crossings that disturb greater than 40 linear feet but equal to or less than 150
linear feet of riparian buffer with a maintenance corridor greater than 10 feet in width, or
- Perpendicular crossings that disturb greater than 150 linear feet of riparian buffer

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.
