Piedmont Natural Gas Line 5B Looping Project
Johnston, Wayne, and Greene Counties, North Carolina.
Dear Ms. Greer and Mr. Scheller,
-- I I V-
� NO
This letter is in reference to the Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG) Line 5B Looping Project. The project
entails construction of approximately 25 miles of natural gas pipeline in Johnston, Wayne, and Green
Counties, North Carolina. The Project consists of approximately 25 miles of 12 -inch diameter natural gas
pipeline from Piedmont's Bentonville Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Plant in Johnston County
(35.328916 °N, 78.264026 °W) continuing cross country through Wayne County, and ending at
Piedmont's Junction B interconnect ( 35.496219 0N, 77.757180 °W) in Greene County. The Project will
loop PNG's existing 10 -inch Line 5B Pipeline to provide additional capacity to the growing area of
Goldsboro, NC. Although being permitted as one project, in an effort to minimize
construction /operational impacts on the local community, the project has been divided into two
segments; Line 58 Loop West and Line 58 Loop East. The "West" segment will begin at the Bentonville
LNG Plant and will parallel PNG's existing Line 5B Right -of -Way (ROW) where feasible for approximately
12 miles where it will tie back into the existing Line 5B at PNG's Junction E site (35.385795 0N,
78.099343 °W), located at the intersection of Old Smith Field Road and Rosewood Road in Wayne
County. At this Junction PNG will use the existing Line 5B Pipeline to transport natural gas through the
greater Goldsboro area. The "East" segment will begin at a new pipeline "Junction" to be located along
NC Highway 111 (35.433066 0N, 77.962990 °W), approximately 670 -feet North of the intersection of
Cotton Wood Drive. The Project then continues cross country paralleling the existing Line 5B ROW
where feasible in an easterly direction for approximately 13 miles into Greene County, terminating at
PNG's Junction B Compressor Station in Snow Hill, NC.

Permitting History
AK Environmental, LLC (AK), on the behalf of PNG submitted a Pre - Construction Notification for the
impacts to waters of the U.S. in accordance with Nation Wide Permit (NWP) No. 12 and the
corresponding North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC 3884) was submitted to the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) and the United States Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) on
January 29, 2013. Piedmont received authorization by the NCDWQ (DWQ Project No. 13 -0101) and the
USACE (Action ID SAW- 2013 -0057) on February 22, 2013 and March 7, 2013, respectively.
Need for Route Revision
During the initial route planning stage, Biologist and Archaeologists from AK investigated 29.13 miles
(46.88 kilometers) of mainline route, including reroutes, 18.3 miles (29 kilometers) of proposed access
roads, 20.16 acres (8.16 hectares) of proposed pipeyards, and 73.9 acres (29.9 hectares) of proposed
additional temporary work spaces. For segments of the mainline route, where the proposed pipeline
parallels the existing Line 5B pipeline, AK surveyed a 270 -foot (82.3- meter) corridor. The 270 -foot survey
corridor was centered over the existing Line 5B 50 -foot permanent easement. Effectively, AK surveyed
two 110 -foot survey corridors located to the north and south of the existing easement. For segments of
the proposed pipeline that deviate from the existing Line 5B pipeline, a 300 -foot (90- meter) corridor was
surveyed. AK surveyed a 33 -foot (10- meter) corridor for all unimproved access roads.
Following the Phase I Cultural Investigation, AK identified and recorded 32 new archaeological sites and
16 isolated finds. In addition, AK relocated three previously recorded sites. AK recommended avoidance
or further testing to determine their eligibility for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places
(NRHP) for 18 of the sites. AK and PNG developed reroutes and other Project design changes to avoid
affecting these sites.
Two proposed reroutes around Site 31JT389 and 389 ** and Site 31GR211 came into question by project
stakeholders (i.e. landowners). Site 31JT389 & 389 * *, located approximately 1,300 feet East of the
Scout Road crossing, is a high density prehistoric site with a low density historic component located
across a large finger ridge overlooking the Mill Creek floodplain. Analysis of the artifact assemblage
indicates the site was occupied during the Late Archaic, and the Early, Middle, and Late Woodland
periods. Site 31GR211 consists of a high density prehistoric artifact scatter located in a mature second
growth forest with thick undergrowth, and an adjacent agricultural field. The site is located at the end of
Cow Town Drive. AK recommended avoidance or further testing to determine if the site is eligible for
inclusion in the NRHP for Site 31JT389 & 389* *Subsequently, AK surveyed and Piedmont adopted
reroutes to the south that would avoid impacts to the high research potential areas of each site.
During land acquisition agreements, the affected landowners requested that the proposed line parallel
the existing Line 5B easement. Therefore PNG contracted AK to perform a Phase II Investigation at each
of these sites. Further investigation and verbal communication with the North Carolina State Historical
Preservation Office (SHPO) revealed that these site are not eligible for inclusion of the NRHP, thus the
proposed route was adjusted to parallel the existing easement. Copies of the SHPO concurrence letters
are included in Attachment A.

Revised Impacts
As a result of the proposed revisions, four additional wetlands (W200, W201, and W222) that were
identified during the initial biological survey and one newly delineated wetland (W301) will now have
temporary and permanent impacts. However, paralleling the existing easement and reducing the Limit
of Disturbance (LOD) in these areas have minimized the impacts. Wetlands W200, W201, and W203 are
located between Sta. 80 +00 and Sta. 81 +00 of the Western Segment of the Project. Impacts to W200
will result in 0.04 acres of permanent and 0.01 acres of temporary impacts, while W201 will result in
0.01 acres of permanent impacts only. W200 and W201 are essential the same wetland, but are
hydraulically disconnected by an existing access road. In contrast, the proposed temporary and
permanent impacts to wetland W203 will be reduced by 0.07 acres and 0.03 acres, respectively.
Wetlands W222 and W301 are located between Sta. 500 +00 and Sta. 513 +00 of the Eastern Segment.
Crossing wetland W222 will result in 0.05 acres of permanent and 0.05 acres of temporary impacts,
while crossing W301 will result in 0.04 acres of permanent and 0.01 acres of temporary impacts. All
permanent impact described her are a result of permanent conversion from a forest wetland to an
emergent wetlands. Although not considered a "loss" of waters of the U.S. conversions are still
considered a permanent impact. All temporary impacts will be allowed to return to their
preconstruction vegetative state, following construction activities. Revised alignment sheets and
revised impact tables are included in Attachment B and C, respectively. Data forms for the additional
stream and wetland Impacts are included in Attachment D. A Summary of the impacts is summarized
below:

Mitigation
The proposed revision will result in a net increase 0.07 additional acres of permanent conversion
impacts and 5 linear feet of permanent stream impacts. The additional temporarily impacted areas will
be allowed to return to their preconstruction vegetative state. Because the additional impacts specified
are below the compensatory mitigation requirement, mitigation beyond that already proposed and
accepted with the original application (purchase of 9.50 acres of mitigation credit from the NCEEP)
should not be required. In addition, to returning to the existing PNG 5B easement, a reduce construction
corridor (i.e. neck -down) has been incorporated, thus reducing impacts to a minimum.

Re: Management Summary, Archaeological Survey; Phase II Work Plans for 31JT389 &389 ** and
31 GR211; and 404/401 Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) (DWQ EXP. No. 13 -0101) for the
Piedmont Line 5B Loop Project; Johnston, Wayne, and Greene Counties, ER 12 -2106
Dear Mr. Mitchell:
Thank you for your letter of February 28, 2013, that details proposed Phase 11 Work Plans for 31JT389 &389 **
and 31GR211. On February 4, 2013, we received AK Environmental Staff Archaeologist Jonathan Libbon's
letter of January 31, 2013, accompanying the management summary for the archaeological survey of the
proposed pipeline. Days later we received a copy of the 404/401 Pre - Construction Notification for the pipeline
from Mr. Roberto L. Scheller of the Division of Land Quality, NCDENR.
We will begin our comments with the management summary of the archaeological survey, which we agreed to
review in advance of a full Phase I survey report because of the tight time -frame for the project.
During the course of the survey, 48 sites16 of them isolated finds —were located within the project area. An
additional three previously recorded sites, 31WY3 &31WY3 * *, 31W-Y4, and 31GR84 &84 * *, were revisited.
The following properties are determined not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places:
31 GR213

Location: 109 East Jones Street, Raleigh NC 27601 Mailing Address: 4617 iilall Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699 -4617 Telephone /Fax: (919) 807 - 6570/807 -6599
Mr. Libbon has recommended that no further archaeological investigation be conducted at these 16 sites. We
concur with this recommendation since these sites are not significant archaeological resources.
The following sites are recommended for avoidance orif they cannot be avoided, further archaeological
investigation to determine their eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places:
31 GR211
31 GR212
31 GR216
31 GR84 &84 **
31JT389 &389 **
31JT390 &390 **
31JT392 &392 **
31JT398 &398 **
31 WY3 &3 **
31 WY4
31 WY492 &492 **
31 WY494
31 WY495 &495 **
31 WY498
31 WY500 **
31WY501 &501 **
31 WY505
31 WY508 **
Through project re- routes, horizontal directional drills, placement of protective mats, and other project- related
design changes, the majority of these sites have been successfully meted for avoidance. Should plans later
change, we request the opportunity for review and comment prior to any ground disturbing activities.
For two of the above -listed sites, 31JT389 &389 ** and 31GR211, line placement through the sites, parallel to
the original pipeline corridor, became the preferred route, necessitating additional archaeological investigations
to determine their eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
We support the measures discussed in your letter of February 28, 2013, for this work, setting forth three loci
(Locus 1, Locus 2, and Locus 3) within each site.
Briefly, the measures described for work at the two sites are:
31TT389 &389 **
Locus 1: No more than 12 1x1 -m units; two near shovel tests N10W180 of B11, seven
across the testing area, and three judgmental
Locus 2: No more than 30 close - interval (5 m apart) shovel tests followed by no more
than 10 1x1 -m units
Locus 3: No more than 186 close - interval shovel tests followed by no more than 35
1x1 -m units
31 GR211
Locus 1: No additional work needed, because the majority of Phase I positive shovel
tests were on the north side of the corridor
Locus 2: No more than 26 close - interval shovel tests, followed by no more than nine
1x1 -m test units
Locus 3: A 1x2 -m unit near Test B70N1OE1O (possible cache); two 1x1 -m units near
Test B70N1 OE30, where a number of Mount Pleasant (Middle Woodland
time period) sherds were found; and an additional 12 units, for a total of 16
We understand the shovel tests will be used to refine placement of subsequent test units, and that we will be
contacted with their results and a test excavation strategy. We believe this is a thorough approach and look
forward to further consultation with you.
In addition, sites 31JT399 &399 ** and 31WY507 remain unassessed, but are in areas that have been dropped
from consideration. Because they will not be affected by the project as proposed, no further work is
recommended for them. We concur with this recommendation.
Two copies of the resulting archaeological survey report should be forwarded to us for review and comment as
soon as it is available. The Phase 11 work may be included in this document, or submitted on its own. When
submitting the Phase I report please include a table listing all sites in permanent site number order (including
isolated finds), county, AK temporary site number, site name, recommendations for them, their status, and a
brief temporal description. Please note that sites 31JT389 &389 * *, 31JT390 &390 * *, 31JT392 &392 * *, and
31JT398 &398 ** are missing from the management summary's Table 4.
We understand a separate, Phase 11, report will be submitted detailing the investigations at 31JT389 &389 ** and
31 GR211.
Please submit site forms for both the revisits and newly recorded sites, attaching individual site maps and
artifact inventories to each, prior to submission of the report, or accompanying it. Please complete both new
and revisit forms for 31JT389 &389 ** and 31GR211.
Please consider not including copies of any future archaeological reports in permit application documents. Site
findings and locations may be discussed in general, but we prefer their locations not be specified, as these are
protected under State Statute (GS 70 -18).
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR
Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the above comment,
please contact Renee Gledhill- Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919- 807 -6579. In all future
communication concerning this project, please cite the above - referenced tracking number.

(31JT389 &389 * *) and the Baker Site (31GR211), Piedmont Natural Gas Line 5b Looping Project in
Johnston, Wayne, and Greene Counties, ER 12 -2106
Dear Mr. Libbon:
Thank you for your letter of April 16, 2013, enclosing a copy of the management summary for the Phase 11
evaluation of 31JT389 &389 ** and 31GR211.
After reviewing your summary of the shovel tests and test units excavated during this Phase 11 work, we concur
that those portions of the following properties within the proposed pipeline APE are determined not eligible
for listing in the National Register of Historic Places:
31JT389 &389 ** and 31GR211
Because the low density of material culture encountered, the limited number of diagnostic artifacts recovered,
and a lack of cultural features, limits these sites' ability to contribute to an understanding of the prehistory and
history of the area.
AK Environmental has recommended that no further archaeological investigation be conducted in the portions
of these two sites within the proposed APE for the pipeline. We concur with this recommendation since these
site portions are not significant archaeological resources.
We, therefore, recommend no additional archaeological investigation be conducted at 31JT389 &389 ** and
31 GR211. Should project plans change, necessitating pipeline work within untested portions of
31JT389 &389 ** and 31GR211, please contact us.
We appreciate the manner in which phases of this project have been presented to us, and look forward to
receipt of the overall final report, incorporating all project phases in one volume. Two copies of this report
should be forwarded to us for review and comment.

Instructions for completion of worksheet (located on page 2): Begin by determining the most appropriate ecoregion based on
location, terrain, vegetation, stream classification, etc. Every characteristic must be scored using the same ecoregion. Assign points
to each characteristic within the range shown for the ecoregion. Page 3 provides a brief description of how to review the
characteristics identified in the worksheet. Scores should reflect an overall assessment of the stream reach under evaluation. If a
characteristic cannot be evaluated due to site or weather conditions, enter 0 in the scoring box and provide an explanation in the
comment section. Where there are obvious changes in the character of a stream under review (e.g., the stream flows from a pasture
into a forest), the stream may be divided into smaller reaches that display more continuity, and a separate form used to evaluate each
reach. The total score assigned to a stream reach must range between 0 and 100, with a score of 100 representing a stream of the
highest quality.
Total Score (from reverse)' 57 Comments: Channel appears as intermittent on the USGS topographic map, but appeared
to be perennial during site inspections. Flowing water at the time of inspection. Channel is bordered on west side by wetlands, and on east side by strip of forested uplands.
Evaluator's Signature Date
This channel evaluation form is intended to be used only as a guide to assist landowners and environmental professionals in
gathering the data required by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to make a preliminary assessment of stream
quality. The total score resulting from the completion of this form is subject to USACE approval and does not imply a
particular mitigation ratio or requirement. Form subject to change - version 06/03. To Comment, please call 919- 876 -8441 x 26.
