Subject: Stream Crossing Revision Request
Stream Crossing No 7.1
Piedmont Natural Gas
DWQ No. 12 -0072 v2
Mecklenburg County
Dear Mr. Long,
This Office is in receipt of your request to change the method of stream crossing at Stream No.
7.1 from a jack and bore to an open cut. In your original application, Stream crossing number 7.1 was
permitted as a jack and bore, with a 70 -foot construction corridor (30 feet permanent and 40 feet
temporary) to account for removal of stream bank vegetation, potential bank grading and piling placement
to accommodate a temporary equipment bridge. It is our understanding that the contractor has been
unable to successfully penetrate the rock since November, 2012, due to presence of sub - surface bed
rock. Such being the case, your request to have Stream crossing No. 7.1 changed from a jack and bore
to a conventional (trenched) crossing as an amendment to the existing 401 Certification is hereby
granted. It is our understanding that the stream impacts expected during this trenched crossing were
authorized in the original 401 Certification, and that no additional impacts will be incurred as a result of
this change in crossing method.
If you have any questions, please contact Michael Burkhard in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-
663 -1699 or Ms. Karen Higgins in the Central Office in Raleigh 949 - 807 -6360.
Sincerely,
�.
for Charles Wakild, P. E.
