Written Approval - 401 Water Quality Certification
Transco - Bank Stabilization and Maintenance of Exposed 36-inch Pipeline
in a Tributary to Abernethy Creek
Gaston County, Bessemer City, North Carolina
Submar Job #SB2999
On behalf of Transco, Submar, Inc. is submitting this request for a Section 401 Water Quality
Certification Written Approval to conduct bank stabilization activities and restore cover to
natural gas pipelines within waters of the United States. Based on a review of the Corps of
Engineers Regulatory Program, it appears that the work proposed herein could meet the criteria
established for authorization under Nationwide Permits (NWP) No. 3 - Maintenance and
No. 18 - Minor Discharges, as found in the March 12, 2007, Federal Register, Reissuance of
Nationwide Permits (72 FR 11180). Please refer to the enclosed Pre-Construction Notification
for project specific details. We will comply with the general and regional conditions of the
permits during construction.

Attn: Brandon M. Clark
The Transco right-of-way (ROW) crosses a tributary to Abernethy Creek in Gaston County,
about 2 miles south of Bessemer City, North Carolina (Figure 1- Vicinity Map). The GPS
coordinates for the site are N35.25887° and W81.27697° (Figure 2 - Topographic Map).
The stream flows in a southeasterly direction where it crosses the ROW. The site is located in a
wooded area between Interstate 85 and US Highway 29 (Kings Mountain Highway). The banks
within the ROW are vegetated with a variety of grass and forbs. Outside of the ROW, the banks

are also vegetated with brush and trees of varying sizes. The soil in the area is composed of clay,
rock, and sand. The banks are 5 feet high and steep.
There are three natural gas pipelines in this section of ROW. The upstream line is the 36-inch
Line C, followed by the 30-inch Line A. The 36-inch Line B is the downstream pipeline.
Headcuts migrating upstream have exposed the top of Line B across the creek. A headcut is
currently located between Lines A and C. There is a low-water crossing for local ATV traffic on
the downstream end of the ROW. Downstream of the low-water crossing, the creekbed is
covered in rocks (Figures 4 and S - Site Photos).
Submar proposes to cut back both banks to create gentler, stable slopes and place fill around the
exposed Line B. Submar will then armor all three pipelines with a system of articulating
concrete revetment mats. The mat system will cover the pipelines in the creekbed and extend up
both banks. The tail on the downstream end of the mat system will articulate with the creekbed
to prevent the upstream migration of future headcut erosion. Submar's articulating concrete mat
system will provide and maintain cover over the pipelines in the matted area (Sheet 3 - Proposed
Design).
The Submar Revetment Mattress is an articulating concrete mat used primarily for erosion
control. The mat is 4.5-inches thick and has a low hydraulic profile when placed in a streambed.
Pipeline companies prefer our mat over their pipelines for several reasons. If the stream
undergoes significant changes, the mats can be repositioned to compensate for changing flow
patterns. The mat has open areas that allow revegetation through the mat. The design for matted
areas includes a rapid return to a natural appearance.
PURPOSE AND NEED
The pipeline is exposed, so a repair to restore cover is required. Headcuts migrating upstream
have exposed the top of Line B across the creek. A headcut is currently located between Lines A
and C. There is a low-water crossing for local ATV traffic on the downstream end of the ROW.
At some point, this Line B exposure may likely suffer structural damage. This unfortunate event
could cause environmental damage and endanger the public.
DIRECT AND INDIRECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The proposed project involves the installation of 21 articulating concrete mats over the exposed
pipeline to restore cover. Of the 21 total mats proposed, 6 (approximately 9 cubic yards) will be
installed below the ordinary high water mark. About 4 cubic yards of clean uncontaminated fill
will also be placed below the ordinary high water mark. It appears that the project may
permanently impact about 0.02 acre of other waters of the United States. It is anticipated that no
wetlands will be impacted. We expect temporary impacts (approximately 0.07 acre) during
construction; however, anticipate no long-term adverse impacts to the project area.

ADDITIONAL PERMITS TO BE REQUESTED
Page 3
No other state or federal environmental permits are required for the subject work. NWP-3 and
NWP-18 are certified Nationwide Permits under the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Program; therefore, an individual
WQC will not be required. However, written approval is being requested from DWQ.
Your prompt attention and approval of this permit request will be appreciated. If you have any
questions, or if I may be of further service, please call me at (800) 978-2627. Thank you in

3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
The site is currently being maintained as a right-of-way for existing natural gas pipelines. Current land cover is (311)
Managed Herbaceous Cover and (321) Managed Shrublands while land use is categorized as (1.06.02.02) Gas Storage
and Transmission.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:

3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
Project purpose is to conduct erosion control activities within a tributary to Abernethy Creek to restore protective cover to
Line B, an exposed natural gas pipeline and to protect two other lines, Line A and Line C, from future exposure.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Submar proposes to cut back the right bank to create a gentler, more stable slope (2:1) and place fill around the exposed
Line B. We will then armor all three pipelines with a system of articulating concrete revetment mats. Proposed project
involves the installation of 21 articulating concrete mats over the exposed pipeline to restore cover. Of the 21 total mats
proposed, 6 (approximately 9 cubic yards) will be installed below the ordinary high water mark. About 4 cubic yards of
clean uncontaminated fill will also be placed below the ordinary high water mark. It appears that the project may

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Project is designed to minimize the amount of material to be placed within the stream, but maximize the protection of the
currently exposed line and additional lines within the section of right-of-way.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Measures to control sediment and erosion will be implemented prior to any ground disturbance and will be maintained
throughout project construction. Permanent grass will be planted to help control erosion immediately following any fianl
ground disturbing activity. Native annual small grains and herbs appropriate for the season will be planted. Fescue based
mixtures will be avoided. Also, fertilizers and pesticides will not be used near streams. Additionally, construction best
management practices, using pre-formed concrete mats, working in the dry, clean uncontaminated fills, and permanent soil
stabilization measures.
