Mr. McMillan
My name is Ashley Bullock, Jr.
I live in Greensboro and work with International Textile Group, but my family is from Delco.
My step-mother, my brother and I are the owners of lots on Livingston Creek off of Livingston
Hill Road and Delco Cemetery Road.

In response to Public Notice Action ID#: SAW-2010-01309 Piedmont Natural Gas Co. Inc.
natural gas pipeline between Hamlet and Wilmington.
These lots are located on Livingston Creek and any lots located on water have a long term value
that can not necessarily be measured presently. This property will be developed if allowed to
develop and in our family's case will flow down to my Nephew and Niece. As the Wilmington
area and Brunswick County area on the Cape Fear River Basin continue to move in southeastern
Columbus County's direction, the long term value of these lots will increase and the near term
opportunity of housing and increased tax basin moving into the area improves. The pipeline
current path will eliminate this opportunity for my family and the future use of others. The part
of Livingston Creek that this pipeline will affect is currently utilized by those in the community
for recreation and fishing.
Another major concern is the impact on the current flow of the creek and its basin. It would
appear to be very unlikely that his pipeline will not cause harm to the creek, the flow of the creek
and the basin in times of significant rainfall during storms and hurricanes. As someone that still
visits the area monthly the flood plain basin has to have environmental value to the area and will
be disturbed by this pipeline.

The change of path for flow of water in Livingston Creek as a result could lead to additional
issues that impact the environment, wildlife and future enjoyment and use by my family and the
community.
Thank you and the Corp of Engineers for the research and evaluation of this project. The overall
benefit has to be weighed against the cost. The cost of this project is impactful on the area, the
people that utilize this area and on my family's future opportunity to build and re-settle in the
area.
Best Regards,
