Project Description and History 4a.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 new line will originate at a proposed station site located within the southern portion of the landfill and will extend generally southwest for approximately 4.4 miles before tying into DENC's existing T-12/T-12B pipeline easement. 4b.Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project(including all prior phases)in the past?* O Yes O No 0 Unknown 4f.List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.146 4g.List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property: 282 4h.Explain the purpose of the proposed project:* The purpose of the new pipeline is to transport methane gas recovered from the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill facility,which is operated by a private third-party company,to a point of connection to an existing DENC transmission pipeline.The route consists primarily of a mixture of pine and hardwood forests in various stages of development,land disturbed for silvicultural purposes,or other areas that have been developed in connection with residences,roadways,and other utility easements. 4i.Describe the overall project in detail,including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:* Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits,jurisdictional boundaries,and other associated workspaces,etc.In high ground areas,additional temporary workspace(TWS)adjacent to the proposed easement will generally be required to safely install the new pipe.At stream and wetland crossings,the TWS has been eliminated or reduced, and the pipe will be installed within the proposed 50-foot permanent easement. The 50-foot width of the proposed easement is required to adequately support:1)aerial and ground leakage surveys;2)aerial patrolling for possible encroachment activity near the pipeline;3)accurate identification of possible repairs and maintenance;4)promotion of damage prevention in that the easement can be more easily identified by the public,and;5) minimization of potential canopy encroachment,which creates visibility concerns. Once the limits of disturbance have been demarcated,clearing of forested areas will commence.Temporary equipment crossings will be installed across streams and along one side of the easement to facilitate logging equipment passage,timber removal,and prevent excessive rutting and ground disturbance in the wetlands.Where necessary,low areas and environmental resources will be protected by use of temporary measures such as staked waddles,compost filter socks,or other less-invasive siltation barriers that can temporarily be installed during this phase of the project.Installation of silt fence,silt fence outlets,and other measures requiring ground disturbance will occur following removal of timber and will proceed in conjunction with grading operations. Grubbing and below-ground vegetation removal will be minimized within wetlands or along streambanks,where it will be limited to the trench line and portions of travel lane,if necessary, for safety reasons.Select portions of the easement may require rough grading to facilitate safe passage of equipment and to prepare a suitably-level work surface.Within wetland areas where extensive rutting or soil disturbance may occur,timber or composite mats are planned for use to provide work and travel space for equipment. Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary erosion and sediment control(E&SC)measures,the trench will be excavated along the"non-working"side of the easement.Subsurface disturbance will only be conducted within the trench line at wetlands and stream crossings.Stump removal or light grading may occur on the working side of the easement if required for safety reasons.The work will be performed from the timber mats placed along the working side of the easement.In certain areas,including wetlands and fields supporting crops,efforts will be made to segregate topsoil from the subsoil.If necessary,trench breakers(temporary barriers generally constructed of sand bags or similarly suitable material)will be installed within the trench to slow the flow of subsurface water. In general,lengths of the new pipe will be trucked to the site from temporary storage yards,strung along the easement,and placed on skids(wooden pedestals).Specialized machines will be used to bend individual segments of pipe to fit the contours of the trench where necessary.The pipe segments will be welded together,x-rayed,the structural integrity and surface coating inspected,and then lowered into the trench.Portions of the trench may require dewatering or"padding"to prevent large rocks or other debris from coming in contact with the pipe. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and the trench backfilled.In areas where segregation of the subsoil and topsoil is required,the topsoil will be replaced last.Affected areas will then be"cleaned up"by rough-grading and conducting temporary seeding,if necessary,followed by final grading,permanent seeding,and mulching to restore the easement as closely as possible to pre-disturbance contours and conditions. 5.Jurisdictional Determinations 5a.Have the wetlands or streams been delineated on the property or proposed impact areas?* • Yes No Unknown Comments: 5b.If the Corps made a jurisdictional determination,what type of determination was made?* 0 Preliminary 0 Approved ® Not Verified 0 Unknown 0 N/A Corps AID Number: N/A 5c.If 5a is yes,who delineated the jurisdictional areas?

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation 0 1.Avoidance and Minimization 1a.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project: To minimize impacts to waters of the US,DENC has proposed to limit the work space at stream and wetland crossings to 50 feet,and locate additional workspace areas outside of the jurisdictional areas and stream buffers.The project was also routed to avoid multiple streams and wetlands. 1 b.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques: The project has been designed to incorporate appropriate erosion and sediment control practices outlined in the most recent version of the"North Carolina Erosion and Sedimentation Control Planning and Design Manual"and approved by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources(NCDENR)prior to construction. As proposed,the project will comply with applicable conditions of the USACE NWP No.12 and NCDWR WQC GC No.4244.Following the construction, the temporarily-affected streambanks and wetlands will be restored in accordance with the accompanying construction documents.Temporarily- disturbed streambanks and wetland areas will be restored to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Unless otherwise authorized by the appropriate permits,no fills or spoils of any kind will be permanently placed within wetlands or along streambanks. Further,disturbed streambanks will be permanently stabilized using coir matting(with no plastic or nylon)and native vegetative cover. 2.Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S.or Waters of the State 2a.Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S.or Waters of the State? • Yes No 2c.If yes,mitigation is required by(check all that apply): • DWR Corps 2d.If yes,which mitigation option(s)will be used for this project? • Mitigation bank Payment to in-lieu fee program Permittee Responsible Mitigation 3.Complete if Using a Mitigation Bank 3a.Name of Mitigation Bank: EBX 3b.Credits Purchased/Requested(attach receipt and letter) Type: Quantity: Riparian wetland 0.66 Riparian buffer 18465 3c.Comments See attached credit availability letters 4.Complete if Making a Payment to In-lieu Fee Program 4a.Approval letter from in-lieu fee program is attached.

(S&ME) is submitting this pre- construction notification (PCN) to inform you of work they plan to conduct in order to install a proposed natural gas pipeline in Person County, North Carolina. The project as proposed will require authorization from the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). The applicable authorizations are Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12 (Utility Line Activities) and Water Quality Certification (WQC) General Certification (GC) No.4244, respectively. In support of this PCN, the following accompanying information has been submitted through the NCDWR electronic PCN website (https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Pre-Construction Notification Form): Appendix I - Authorization to Act as Agent Appendix II - Figures Appendix III - Site Photographs Appendix IV- Delineation Information Appendix V- Stream/Wetland/Riparian Buffer Impact Exhibits Appendix VI - Typical Construction Details Appendix VII - North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) Database and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) Reports Appendix VIII - Three Oaks Aquatic Species Survey Report Appendix IX - SHPO Letter(September 23, 2021) Appendix X - General Restoration Plan S&ME, Inc. 19751 Southern Pine Boulevard I Charlotte, NC 28273 I p 704.523.4726 I f 704.525.3953 I www.smeinc.com Pre-Construction Notification DENC Person County Pipeline Project I I Person County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 216697 General Project Information DENC is planning to install approximately four miles of new, natural gas pipeline within a new 50-foot easement in Person County, North Carolina. The purpose of the new pipeline is to transport methane gas recovered from the Upper Piedmont Environmental Landfill facility, which is operated by a private third- party company, to a point of connection to an existing DENC transmission pipeline.The new line will originate at a proposed station site located within the southern portion of the landfill and will extend generally southwest for approximately 4.4 miles before tying into DENC's existing T-12/T-12B pipeline easement. Figures prepared for this PCN are included in Appendix II.The approximate location of the proposed route is depicted on the Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1), appropriate portions of the Moriah, North Carolina U.S. Geological Survey(USGS) Topographic Exhibit (Figure 2), the Person County Soils Exhibit (Figure 3) and Aerial Orthoimagery Exhibits (Figures 4-11). The route consists primarily of a mixture of pine and hardwood forests in various stages of development, land disturbed for silvicultural purposes, or other areas that have been developed in connection with residences, roadways, and other utility easements. Photographs of the general site conditions are included in Appendix III. A majority of the project is located within the Tar-Pamlico River Basin, although a shorter segment is also located in the Neuse River Basin. Based on review of FEMA floodplain mapping available at https://fris.nc.gov website, the pipeline will not encroach upon areas classified as FEMA-designated floodplain. Review of the appropriate NC USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2) indicated that the proposed route crosses three streams, which are depicted by either solid or dashed blue lines. Streams in the northern portion of the route ultimately drain to Cub Creek (NCDWR Index No. 28-3, WS-IV; NSW) while most of those in the south drain to Rock Fork Branch (NCDWR Index No. 27-3-4-1, WS-III; ORW; NSW). In addition to the three streams depicted by the USGS maps, multiple drainage features are also shown on the published soil survey. The predominant soil types mapped within the project area are depicted on Figure 3 and include Lignum silt loam (Aquic Hapludults), Herndon loam (Typic Kanhapludults), Georgeville silt loam (Typic Kanhapludults), Cid silt loam (Aquic Hapludults) and Goldston very channery silt loam (Typic Dystrudepts). Chewacla loam (Fluvaquentic Dystrudepts) is mapped along some of the drainageways. With the exception of Chewacla loam, none of the predominant soils mapped at the site are classified as hydric. Jurisdictional Areas Jurisdictional features located within the project corridor were delineated by S&ME on September 29 and October 1, 2021. Additional delineation efforts were conducted on October 18-19, 2021 to account for segments of the proposed pipeline that were re-routed to avoid/minimize potential impacts. The delineation was conducted utilizing currently accepted methods for wetland determination, as set forth in the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual and the Eastern Mountain and 2 Pre-Construction Notification dime DENC Person County Pipeline Project Person County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 216697 Piedmont Regional Supplement.When necessary, stream assessments were conducted in accordance with NCDWR and USACE guidelines. S&ME also determined which on-site streams were subject to riparian buffer rules. In both the Tar- Pamlico and Neuse River watersheds, streams depicted on either the most recent printed version of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil survey map or the most recent version of a USGS 1:24000 (7.5 minute) topographic quad map are subject to riparian buffer rules, except in cases where the NCDWR can verify that the depicted stream is not present in field. On December 16, 2021, S&ME met on- site with NCDWR personnel to review streams within the project corridor that were potentially subject to the buffer rules. Following the site visit, NCDWR provided a January 20, 2022 Buffer Determination Letter confirming their concurrence with S&ME's findings. A copy of the Buffer Determination letter is included in Appendix IV, along with wetland determination data forms representative of the general wetland types observed within route, NCDWR Stream classification forms and information other information relative to a request for Delineation Concurrence (DC). Description of the Work and Proposed Impacts Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits,jurisdictional boundaries, and other associated workspaces, etc. In high ground areas, additional temporary workspace (TWS) adjacent to the proposed easement will generally be required to safely install the new pipe. At stream and wetland crossings, the TWS has been eliminated or reduced, and the pipe will be installed within the proposed 50-foot permanent easement. The 50-foot width of the proposed easement is required to adequately support: 1) aerial and ground leakage surveys; 2) aerial patrolling for possible encroachment activity near the pipeline; 3) accurate identification of possible repairs and maintenance;4) promotion of damage prevention in that the easement can be more easily identified by the public, and; 5) minimization of potential canopy encroachment, which creates visibility concerns. Once the limits of disturbance have been demarcated, clearing of forested areas will commence. Temporary equipment crossings will be installed across streams and along one side of the easement to facilitate logging equipment passage, timber removal, and prevent excessive rutting and ground disturbance in the wetlands.Where necessary, low areas and environmental resources will be protected by use of temporary measures such as staked waddles, compost filter socks, or other less-invasive siltation barriers that can temporarily be installed during this phase of the project. Installation of silt fence, silt fence outlets, and other measures requiring ground disturbance will occur following removal of timber and will proceed in conjunction with grading operations. Grubbing and below-ground vegetation removal will be minimized within wetlands or along streambanks, where it will be limited to the trench line and portions of travel lane, if necessary, for safety reasons. Select portions of the easement may require rough grading to facilitate safe passage of equipment and to prepare a suitably-level work surface. Within wetland areas where extensive rutting or soil disturbance may occur, timber or composite mats are planned for use to provide work and travel space for equipment. Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary erosion and sediment control (E&SC) measures, the trench will be excavated along the "non-working" side of the easement. Subsurface disturbance will only be conducted within the trench line at wetlands and stream crossings. Stump 3 Pre-Construction Notification DENC Person County Pipeline Project Person County, North Carolina 411111 S&ME Project No. 216697 removal or light grading may occur on the working side of the easement if required for safety reasons. The work will be performed from the timber mats placed along the working side of the easement. In certain areas, including wetlands and fields supporting crops, efforts will be made to segregate topsoil from the subsoil. If necessary, trench breakers (temporary barriers generally constructed of sand bags or similarly suitable material) will be installed within the trench to slow the flow of subsurface water. In general, lengths of the new pipe will be trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the easement, and placed on skids (wooden pedestals). Specialized machines will be used to bend individual segments of pipe to fit the contours of the trench where necessary.The pipe segments will be welded together, x-rayed, the structural integrity and surface coating inspected, and then lowered into the trench. Portions of the trench may require dewatering or"padding" to prevent large rocks or other debris from coming in contact with the pipe. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and the trench backfilled. In areas where segregation of the subsoil and topsoil is required, the topsoil will be replaced last.Affected areas will then be "cleaned up" by rough-grading and conducting temporary seeding, if necessary, followed by final grading, permanent seeding, and mulching to restore the easement as closely as possible to pre-disturbance contours and conditions. All work within wetlands and streams will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permits. Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be employed at all stream and wetland crossings to help prevent siltation or inadvertent discharges to a waters of the U.S. Jurisdictional Impact exhibits (Figures 12-16) included in in Appendix V. Typical construction details associated with stream and wetland crossings are included Appendix VI. Proposed Project Impacts Project-wide wetland and stream impacts are summarized in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. Note that all stream impacts are temporary. Wetland impacts will result from conversion of forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands, but will not involve a loss of waters of the US.

Federally Protected Species To assist you with determining compliance with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME submitted a request for information to the NCNHP.The NCNHP responded with a July 22. 2021 and September 28, 2021 reports that listed natural areas and protected 5 Pre-Construction Notification DENC Person County Pipeline Project Person County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 216697 species with documented occurrences within one mile of the project area. The report identified no occurrences of federally protected species within one mile of the site. S&ME also consulted the USFWS IPaC system for a list of species that are known or expected to be near the assessment area. The IPaC report identified the following species as having potential for direct or indirect affected by activities in the assessment area. S&ME also subcontracted Three Oaks Engineering to conducted habitat evaluations and surveys for this target aquatic species in September 2021. Table 4: Federall Protected S.ecies for Person Count Federal Scientific Name Common Name Category Status Habitat Present?

Monarch Butterfly Status: Candidate Biological Determination: No Effect The monarch butterfly(Danaus plexippus) is reddish/orange in color with black vein like markings. It has a black border around its wings with white spots. In the spring and summer, the monarch butterfly's primary habitat is open field and meadows containing milkweed. In the winter it can be found on the coast of southern California as well as high altitudes of central Mexico. The project as proposed should not have a significant effect on monarch butterfly because the project site does not contain suitable habitat for this species. Neuse River Waterdog Status: Proposed Threatened Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect The Neuse River waterdog (Necturus lewisi) is a freshwater salamander endemic to the Neuse and Tar River basins of North Carolina. It grows up to 11 inches in length and has a reddish/brown body with an irregular pattern of large blue or black spots. Specific habitat characteristics include low to moderate gradient streams with low current velocity. It is a fully aquatic salamander, which means it does not leave the water. It lacks lungs, getting oxygen from the water via external gills and needs clean, flowing water with high dissolved oxygen concentrations.The species dwells in streams wider than 15 meters but has 6 Pre-Construction Notification DENC Person County Pipeline Project I I Person County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 216697 been found in smaller creeks.The species thrives in cold water and is much more active in colder seasons and when water is near-freezing. Stream SA exhibited marginally-suitable habitat for the listed aquatic species, and therefore, a survey by a firm experienced and licensed to conduct such aquatic survey work was recommended. On November 2, 2021, Three Oaks Engineering (sub-consultant to S&ME) personnel conducted habitat evaluations and surveys for this target aquatic species. Surveys for this species was conducted from a point approximately 400 meters downstream of the project crossing upstream to a point approximately 100 meters upstream of the proposed project crossing. Marginally suitable habitat for the species is present in the pool habitats surveyed in the unnamed tributary to Cub Creek; however, no individuals of this species was detected during the surveys.Therefore, impacts to this aquatic species are unlikely to occur within the project area. Carolina Madtom Status: Endangered Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect The Carolina madtom (Noturus furiosus) is a freshwater fish endemic to the Neuse and Tar River basins of North Carolina. It is a small catfish, reaching a maximum length of approximately five inches. The species occurs in riffles, runs, and pools in medium to large streams and rivers. Ideally, it inhabits fresh waters with continuous, year-round flow and moderate gradient in both the Piedmont and Coastal Plain physiographic regions. Optimal substrate for the Carolina madtom is predominantly silt-free, stable, gravel and cobble bottom habitat, and it must have cover for nest sites, including under rocks, bark, relic mussel shells, and even cans and bottles. Stream SA may exhibit potentially-suitable habitat for the listed aquatic species, and therefore, a survey by a firm experienced and licensed to conduct such aquatic survey work was recommended. On November 2, 2021, Three Oaks Engineering personnel conducted habitat evaluations and surveys for this target aquatic species. Surveys for this species was conducted from a point approximately 400 meters downstream of the project crossing upstream to a point approximately 100 meters upstream of the proposed project crossing. While appropriate habitat for this species is present, no individuals of this species were detected during the surveys.Therefore, impacts to this aquatic species iare unlikely to occur within the project area. Atlantic Pigtoe Status: Threatened Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect The Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni) is a freshwater mussel found in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The shell of the Atlantic pigtoe is a chunky, rhombus shape, like that of a pig's hoof/toe.There is a distinct posterior ridge.The outer surface of the shell is yellow to dark brown and parchment-like, while the inner layer is iridescent blue to salmon, white, or orange. The preferred habitat of the Atlantic pigtoe is coarse sand and gravel, and rarely in silt and detritus. Historically, the best populations existed in small creeks to larger rivers with excellent water quality, where flows were sufficient to maintain clean, silt-free substrates. Stream SA may exhibit potentially-suitable habitat for the listed aquatic species, and therefore, a survey by a firm experienced and licensed to conduct such aquatic survey work was recommended. 7 Pre-Construction Notification DENC Person County Pipeline Project Person County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 216697 On November 2, 2021, Three Oaks Engineering personnel conducted habitat evaluations and surveys for this target aquatic species. Surveys for this species was conducted from a point approximately 400 meters downstream of the project crossing upstream to a point approximately 100 meters upstream of the proposed project crossing. Appropriate habitat was present specifically in deeper pools; however, no mussels of this species were found during the surveys. Therefore, impacts to this aquatic species are unlikely to occur within the project area. Dwarf Wedgemussel Status: Endangered Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect The dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) is a small bivalve that is typically greenish brown in color. The dwarf wedgemussel appears to be a generalist in terms of its preference for stream size, substrate and flow conditions. It inhabits small streams less than five meters wide to large rivers more than 100 meters wide. It is also found in a variety of substrate types including clay, sand, gravel and pebble, and sometimes in silt depositional areas near banks; and it usually inhabits hydrologically stable areas, including very shallow water along streambanks and under root mats. Dwarf wedgemussels are often patchily distributed in rivers. Stream SA may exhibit potentially-suitable habitat for the listed aquatic species, and therefore, a survey by a firm experienced and licensed to conduct such aquatic survey work was recommended. On November 2, 2021, Three Oaks Engineering personnel conducted habitat evaluations and surveys for this target aquatic species. Surveys for this species was conducted from a point approximately 400 meters downstream of the project crossing upstream to a point approximately 100 meters upstream of the proposed project crossing. Appropriate habitat was present specifically in deeper pools; however, no mussels of this species were found during the surveys. Therefore, impacts to this aquatic species are unlikely to occur within the project area. Yellow Lance Status: Threatened Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect The yellow lance (Elliptio lanceolata) is a freshwater mussel found in specific basins of Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. It is a bright yellow mussel with a shell more than twice as long as it is tall, reaching just over three inches in length. The yellow lance is a sand-loving species often found buried deep in clean, coarse to medium sand, although it can sometimes be found in gravel substrates. Yellow lances are often moved with shifting sand and eventually settle in sand at the downstream end of stable sand and gravel bars. This species depends on clean, moderate flowing water with high dissolved oxygen. This species is found in medium-sized rivers to smaller streams. Stream SA may exhibit potentially-suitable habitat for the listed aquatic species, and therefore, a survey by a firm experienced and licensed to conduct such aquatic survey work was recommended. On November 2, 2021, Three Oaks Engineering personnel conducted habitat evaluations and surveys for this target aquatic species. Surveys for this species was conducted from a point approximately 400 meters downstream of the project crossing upstream to a point approximately 100 meters upstream of the proposed project crossing. Appropriate habitat was present specifically in deeper pools; however, no 8 Pre-Construction Notification DENC Person County Pipeline Project Person County, North Carolina mom S&ME Project No. 216697 mussels of this species were found during the surveys. Therefore, impacts to this aquatic species are unlikely to occur within the project area. Copies of the NCNHP and USFWS IPaC reports are included in Appendix VII, and the Three Oaks report is included in Appendix VIII. Historic Sites S&ME provided an August 21, 2021 scoping letter to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (NCSHPO). The scoping letter included a description of the proposed project and exhibits that depicted the proposed route and requested that they review and provide comment on the project. NCSHPO responded with a September 23, 2021 letter stating that they had conducted a review of the project and were aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project. Therefore, NCSHPO had no comment on the project as proposed.A copy of the NCSHPO response letter is provided in Appendix IX. Avoidance and Minimization To minimize impacts to waters of the US, DENC has proposed to limit the work space at stream and wetland crossings to 50 feet, and locate additional workspace areas outside of the jurisdictional areas and stream buffers.Additionally, construction equipment operating near the streams and wetlands will be limited to that necessary for pipe installation and restoration activities. The project has been designed to incorporate appropriate erosion and sediment control practices outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Erosion and Sedimentation Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) prior to construction. As proposed, the project will comply with applicable conditions of the USACE NWP No. 12 and NCDWR WQC GC No.4244. Following the construction, the temporarily-affected streambanks and wetlands will be restored in accordance with the accompanying construction documents. Temporarily-disturbed streambanks and wetland areas will be restored to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Unless otherwise authorized by the appropriate permits, no fills or spoils of any kind will be permanently placed within wetlands or along streambanks. Further, disturbed streambanks will be permanently stabilized using coir matting (with no plastic or nylon) and native vegetative cover. Additional details are provided in the General Restoration Plan (Appendix X). Mitigation Because the project will not result in permanent stream impacts, compensatory stream mitigation should not be required.Although the project will not result in a loss of waters, the project will result in conversion of 0.141 acre of forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands.The project will also impact 15,421 sf of sf Zone 1 riparian buffer and 14,255 sf of Zone 2. Based on the appropriate Table of Uses in the respective Riparian Buffer Rules, mitigation is required only for Zone 1 impacts associated with perpendicular crossings of permanent maintenance corridors for below-ground utilities that are greater than 30 linear feet wide. Further, any wetland areas located within the buffers are subtracted from the square-footage requiring mitigation. The appropriate amount of mitigation credit is determined by multiplying the 9 Pre-Construction Notification Ammo DENC Person County Pipeline Project I Person County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 216697 amount of Zone 1 impacts (sf) by three. DENC plans to purchase the necessary wetland and riparian buffer mitigation credit in the appropriate watersheds from a private bank and the NC Division of Mitigation Services. Once the appropriate credit availability letters have been received, copies will be forwarded to the USACE and NCDWR for your approval. Closing Thank you for your review of this PCN.

Version:May 2017 Page 3 Jurisdictional Determination Request F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERMINATION(JD)TYPE (Select One) v I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminary 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. II 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). riI am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information to inform my decision. G. ALL REQUESTS nMap of Property or Project Area. This Map must clearly depict the boundaries of the review area. ✓ Size of Property or Review Area — 26 acres.

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 "maybe"waters of the U.S. and/or that there "maybe"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: SUPPORTING DATA.

DENC is committed to providing safe, reliable natural gas service, and projects like these are part of our routine natural gas operations throughout its service territory. To begin this project, a land survey and engineering study is needed to determine routing of the new pipeline facility and to collect information pertinent to the development of the plans that will be used to construct the new pipeline facility. A surveyor's "right-of-entry" is provided for under North Carolina General Statute 40A-11. This letter is to notify you of our intent to enter the property for the preliminary survey, but this does not necessarily mean your property will be impacted. Our contracted surveyors and engineers include: Diversified Energy Services, Inc., S&ME and Energy Land & Infrastructure, PLLC. The survey process is typically routine and minimally disruptive to the property. It may be necessary in some cases, however, to take core soil samples during the engineering phase. Should that be the case, Dominion, or its contractor(s), will coordinate with individual property owners prior to the sampling process. Dominion is committed to restoring any such area to its original state after the survey and assessment process has been completed. If we determine that your property will be impacted, a representative of Dominion will contact you to arrange just compensation for the land rights needed to proceed with this project. As a part of this process, an exhibit of your property will be prepared, showing where the proposed easement for the pipeline project is situated in relation to your property. This will NOT involve the purchase or relocation of homes. Our land agents will attempt to contact you after sending this notification to answer any questions you may have about the survey process and to learn about features of your property we should be aware of prior to entry. With your permission, we would like to begin surveying sooner than 30 days, however, if you do not grant permission we will certainly wait the 30 days as required by the NC General Statute referenced above. If you have any questions, you may contact one of our contracted right of way agents from Diversified Energy Services, Inc. at(919) 776-2232. Dominion is committed to being as open and transparent as possible throughout this process and to minimizing any inconvenience to you. We look forward to working with you and thank you in advance for your consideration. Sincerely yours, ter Engineer II Dominion Energy DocuSign Envelope ID: D9B130C3-E1C4-4BF4-BCA8-200AD6935298 4:_-tc STATE 0''", ", '3 OI1 ROYCOOPER -5 1 ,_- Ar Governor V O` ELIZABETH S.BISER ` L,za Secretary '*fAf ou v�vlot0*_- S.DANIEL SMITH NORTH CAROLINA Director Environmental Quality January 20,2022 Dominion Energy North Carolina 220 Operation Way MC C221 Cayce, SC 29033 Subject: Buffer Determination Letter DENC Person County Pipeline Person County NBRRO#21-413 Dear Dominion Energy North Carolina: On December 16,2021,Alys Hannum of the Division of Water Resources(DWR)Raleigh Regional Office conducted an on-site review of the features located on the DENC Person County Pipeline property at the request of S&ME Inc.,to determine the applicability of the Tar-Pamlico River Basin Buffer Rule, Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B .0734. The table and maps below summarize the features evaluated for subjectivity to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer Rule.Features that are identified as"Subject"have been located on either the most recent published NRCS Soil Survey of Person County or the most recent copy of the USGS Topographic map, have been located on the ground, and possess characteristics that qualify them to be at least intermittent streams.Features that are identified as"Not Subject"are not located on either of the required maps,are not present on the property,or have been determined not to be at least intermittent. There may be other streams or features on the property that may be considered jurisdictional according to the US Army Corps of Engineers and therefore subject to the Clean Water Act. This project may require a Section 404/401 Permit for proposed activity within buffers or within waters of the state.Any inquiries should be directed to the US Army Corp of Engineers(Raleigh Regulatory Field Office) at(919)-554-4884.

Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one-mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one-mile radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report. If a Federally-listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one-mile radius of the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here: https://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37. Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission. The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally- listed species are documented near the project area.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information.An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized, funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any federally-listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the Service is necessary. In addition to the federally-protected species list, information on the species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or 09/28/2021 Event Code: 04EN2000-2021-E-04778 2 evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the web site often for updated information or changes If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally-listed species known to be present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. If you determine that the proposed action may affect(i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely to adversely affect) a federally-protected species, you should notify this office with your determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects, before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed action will have no effect(i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles. Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan(http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/ eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats. Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http:// www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http:// www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdlssues/Hazards/ towers/comtow.html. Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7 consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/ We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species.

The Federally Endangered Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon, DWM) and Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus, CMT), and the Federally Threatened Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni, AP),Yellow Lance (Elliptio lanceolata, YL), and Neuse River Waterdog (Necuturus lewisi, NRWD), are protected species known from the upper Tar River Basin. Additionally,the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information, Planning, and Consultation (IPaC) system indicates these species could potentially be affected by activities in this location (USFWS IPaC 2021a). As such, Three Oaks Engineering, Inc. (Three Oaks)was contracted to perform surveys in the UT Cub Creek project area for mussel species, Carolina Madtom, and Neuse River Waterdog. Tables 1 lists the nearest element occurrence (EO) in approximate river miles (RM) for target species relative to the proposed project crossing of UT Cub Creek. Data is according to the NC Natural Heritage Program database (NCNHP 2021)most recently updated in October 2021.

Species Characteristics The DWM was originally described as Unio heterodon (Lea 1829). Simpson (1914) subsequently placed it in the genus Alasmidonta. Oilivann (1919)placed it in a monotypic subgenus Prolasmidonta, based on the unique soft-tissue anatomy and conchology. Fuller (1977) believed the characteristics of Prolasmidonta warranted elevation to full generic rank and renamed the species Prolasmidonta heterodon. Clarke (1981)retained the genus name Alasmidonta and considered Prolasmidonta to be a subjective synonym of the subgenus Pressodonta (Simpson 1900). The specific epithet heterodon refers to the chief distinguishing characteristic of this species, which is the only North American freshwater mussel that consistently has two lateral teeth on the right valve and only one on the left(Fuller 1977). All other laterally dentate freshwater mussels in North America normally have two lateral teeth on the left valve and one on the right. The DWM is generally small,with a shell length ranging between 25 millimeters (mm) (1.0 inch) and 38 mm (1.5 inches). The largest specimen reported by Clarke (1981)was 56.5 mm (2.2 inches) long, taken from the Ashuelot River in New Hampshire. The periostracum is generally olive green to dark brown; nacre bluish to silvery white,turning to cream or salmon colored towards the umbonal cavities. Sexual dimorphism occurs in DWM,with the females having a swollen region on the posterior slope, and the males are generally flattened. Clarke (1981)provides a detailed description of the species. Nearly all freshwater mussel species have similar reproductive strategies; a larval stage (glochidium)becomes a temporary obligatory parasite on a fish. Many mussel species have specific fish hosts,which must be present to complete their life cycle. Based upon laboratory infestation experiments, Michaelson and Neves (1995) determined that potential fish hosts for the DWM in North Carolina include the Tessellated Darter(Etheostoma olmstedi) and the Johnny Darter(E. nigrum). McMahon and Bogan (2001) and Pennak(1989) should be consulted for a general overview of freshwater mussel reproductive biology. 2.1.2. Distribution and Habitat Requirements The historic range of the DWM is confined to Atlantic slope drainages from the Peticodiac River in New Brunswick, Canada, south to the Neuse River,North Carolina. Occurrence records exist from at least 70 locations, encompassing 15 major drainages, in 11 states and one Canadian Province (USFWS 1993). When the recovery plan for this species was written,the DWM was believed to have been extirpated from all but 36 localities, 14 of them in North Carolina (USFWS 1993). The most recent assessment(2013 5-Year Review) indicates that the DWM is currently found in 16 major drainages, comprising approximately 75 "sites" (one site may have multiple occurrences). At least 45 of these sites are based on less than five individuals or solely on relict shells. It appears that the populations in North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland are declining as evidenced by low densities, lack of reproduction, or inability to relocate any individuals in follow-up surveys. Populations in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 2 Connecticut appear to be stable,while the status of populations in the Delaware River watershed affected by the multiple flood events between 2004 and 2006 are still being studied(USFWS 2019b). Strayer et al. (1996) conducted range-wide assessments of remaining DWM populations and assigned a population status to each of the populations. The status rating is based on range size, number of individuals and evidence of reproduction. Seven of the 20 populations assessed were considered "poor," and two others are considered "poor to fair" and"fair to poor," respectively. In North Carolina, populations are found in portions of the Neuse and Tar River basins; however, they are believed to have been extirpated from the main-stem of the Neuse River. The DWM inhabits creeks and rivers of varying sizes (down to approximately two meters wide), with slow to moderate flow. A variety of preferred substrates have been described that range from coarse sand, to firm muddy sand, to gravel (USFWS 1993). In North Carolina, DWM often occurs within submerged root mats along stable streambanks. The wide range of substrate types used by this species suggests that the stability of the substrate is likely as important as the composition. 2.1.3. Threats to Species The cumulative effects of several factors, including sedimentation,point and non-point discharge, stream modifications (impoundments, channelization, etc.)have contributed to the decline of this species throughout its range. Except for the Neversink River population in New York, which has an estimated population of over 80,000 DWM individuals, all the other populations are generally small in numbers and restricted to short reaches of isolated streams. The low numbers of individuals and the restricted range of most of the surviving populations make them extremely vulnerable to extirpation from a single catastrophic event or activity (Strayer et al. 1996). Catastrophic events may consist of natural events such as flooding or drought, as well as human influenced events such as toxic spills associated with highways, railroads, or industrial-municipal complexes. Siltation resulting from substandard land-use practices associated with activities such as agriculture, forestry, and land development has been recognized as a major contributing factor to degradation of mussel populations. Siltation has been documented to be extremely detrimental to mussel populations by degrading substrate and water quality, increasing potential exposure to other pollutants, and direct smothering of mussels (Ellis 1936,Marking and Bills 1979). Sediment accumulations of less than one inch have been shown to cause high mortality in most mussel species (Ellis 1936). In Massachusetts, a bridge construction project decimated a population of the DWM because of accelerated sedimentation and erosion (Smith 1981). Sewage treatment effluent has been documented to significantly affect the diversity and abundance of mussel fauna (Goudreau et al. 1988). Goudreau et al. (1988) found that recovery of mussel populations may not occur for up to two miles below points of chlorinated sewage effluent. DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 3 The impact of impoundments on freshwater mussels has been well documented (USFWS 1992a, Neves 1993). Construction of dams transforms lotic habitats into lentic habitats,which results in changes in aquatic community composition. The changes associated with inundation adversely affect both adult and juvenile mussels, as well as fish community structure,which could eliminate possible fish hosts for upstream transport of glochidia. Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee River in northern Alabama, once the richest site for naiads (mussels) in the world, is now at the bottom of Wilson Reservoir and covered with 19 feet of muck(USFWS 1992b). Large portions of all the river basins within the DWM's range have been impounded; this is believed to be a major factor contributing to the decline of the species (Master 1986). The introduction of exotic species such as the Asian Clam (Corbiculafluminea) and Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha)has also been shown to pose significant threats to native freshwater mussels. The Asian Clam is now established in most of the major river systems in the United States (Fuller and Powell 1973), including those streams still supporting surviving populations of the DWM. Concern has been raised over competitive interactions for space, food and oxygen with this species and native mussels, possibly at the juvenile stages (Neves and Widlak 1987,Alderman 1995). The Zebra Mussel,native to the drainage basins of the Black, Caspian, and Aral Seas, is an exotic freshwater mussel that was introduced into the Great Lakes in the 1980s and has rapidly expanded its range into the surrounding river basins, including those of the South Atlantic slope (O'Neill and MacNeill 1991). This species competes for food resources and space with native mussels and is expected to contribute to the extinction of at least 20 freshwater mussel species if it becomes established throughout most of the eastern United States (USFWS 1992b). The Zebra Mussel is not currently known to be present in any river supporting DWM population. 2.2 Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masons) 2.2.1.Species Characteristics The Atlantic Pigtoe was described by Conrad(1834) from the Savannah River in Augusta, Georgia. Although larger specimens exist, the Atlantic Pigtoe seldom exceeds 50 mm (2 inches) in length. This species is tall relative to its length, except in headwater stream reaches where specimens may be elongated. The hinge ligament is relatively short and prominent. The periostracum is normally brownish, has a parchment texture, and young individuals may have greenish rays across the entire shell surface. The posterior ridge is biangulate. The interdentum in the left valve is broad and flat. The anterior half of the valve is thickened compared with the posterior half, and, when fresh, nacre in the anterior half of the shell tends to be salmon colored, while nacre in the posterior half tends to be more iridescent. The shell has full dentation. In addition to simple papillae, branched and arborescent papillae are often seen on the incurrent aperture. In females, salmon colored demibranchs are often seen during the spawning season. When fully gravid, females use all four demibranchs to brood glochidia(VDGIF 2014). The Atlantic Pigtoe is a tachytictic (short-term)breeder,brooding young in early spring and releasing glochidia in early summer. The Bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and Shield Darter (Percina peltata) have been identified as potential fish hosts for this species (O'Dee and Waters 2000). Additional research has found Rosefin Shiner(Lythrurus ardens), Creek Chub (Semotilus atromaculatus), and Longnose Dace (Rhynichthys cataractae) are also suitable hosts (Wolf DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 4 2012). Eads and Levine (2011) found White Shiner(Luxilus albeolus), Satinfin Shiner (Cyprinella analostana), Bluehead Chub (Nocomis leptocephalus), Rosyside Dace (Clinostomus funduloides), Pinewoods Shiner(Lythrurus matutinus), Swallowtail Shiner(Notropis procne), and Mountain Redbelly Dace (Chrosomus oreas)to also be suitable hosts for Atlantic Pigtoe. 2.2.2.Distribution and Habitat Requirements Johnson (1970)reported the range of the Atlantic Pigtoe extended from the Ogeechee River Basin in Georgia north to the James River Basin in Virginia; however,recent curation of the H. D. Athearn collection uncovered valid specimens from the Altamaha River in Georgia(USFWS 2021c). In addition,USFWS (2021c) citing Alderman and Alderman (2014)reported two shells from the 1880's that also documented the historical occurrence in the Altamaha River Basin. It is presumed extirpated from the Catawba River Basin in North and South Carolina south to the Altamaha River Basin (USFWS 2021c). The general pattern of its current distribution indicates that the species is currently limited to headwater areas of drainages and most populations are represented by few individuals. In North Carolina, aside from the Waccamaw River, it was once found in every Atlantic Slope River basin. Except for the Tar River, it is no longer found in the mainstem of the rivers within its historic range (Savidge et al. 2011). It is listed as Endangered in Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, and as Threatened in Virginia. It has a NatureServe rank of G2 (imperiled). The Atlantic Pigtoe has been found in multiple physiographic provinces, from the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, through the Piedmont and into the Coastal Plain, in streams less than one meter wide to large rivers. The preferred habitat is a substrate composed of gravel and coarse sand,usually at the base of riffles; however, it can be found in a variety of other substrates and lotic habitat conditions. 2.2.3. Threats to Species Threats to the Atlantic Pigtoe and many other species are similar to those described above for the DWM. A majority of the remaining Atlantic Pigtoe populations are generally small in numbers and restricted to short reaches of isolated streams. Strayer et al. (1996)postulated that the low numbers of individuals and the restricted range of most of the surviving populations of the Dwarf Wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), another imperiled freshwater mussel species,make them extremely vulnerable to extirpation from a single catastrophic event or activity. This vulnerability to extirpation also applies to the Atlantic Pigtoe, given that majority of the remaining populations are generally small in numbers and restricted to short reaches of isolated streams. In the Piedmont region,there has been an approximately 48% loss of former stream representation compared to historical representation (USFWS 2021c). Catastrophic events may consist of natural events such as flooding or drought, as well as human influenced events such as toxic spills associated with highways,railroads, or industrial-municipal complexes. DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 5 2.2.4.Designated Critical Habitat The Atlantic Pigtoe is listed as a Federally Threatened Species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA)with Section 4(d) Rule and Critical Habitat Designation. In accordance with Section 4 of the ESA, Critical Habitat for listed species consists of: (1) The specific areas within the geographical area occupied by the species at the time it is listed, in which are found those physical or biological features (constituent elements)that are: a. essential to the conservation of the species, and b. which may require special management considerations or protection (2) Specific areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species at the time it is listed in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Act, upon a determination by the Secretary that such areas are"essential for the conservation of the species." On November 16, 2021,USFWS listed the Atlantic Pigtoe as a Threatened species under the ESA. Critical habitat was revised with the listing (86 FR 64000) and consists of the following (USFWS 2021c): • Unit 1 (JR1) - 29 river mi (46.7 river km) of Craig Creek in Craig and Botetourt Counties, Virginia • Unit 2 (JR2) - 1 mile (1.6-km) of Mill Creek in Bath County,Virginia • Unit 3 (CR1) - 4 miles (6.6 km) of Sappony Creek in the Chowan River Basin in Dinwiddie County,Virginia • Unit 4 (CR2) - 64 river miles (103 river km) of the Nottoway River and a portion of Sturgeon Creek in Nottoway, Lunenburg, Brunswick, Dinwiddie, and Greenville Counties,Virginia • Unit 5 (CR3) - 5 miles (8 km) of the Meherrin River in Brunswick County,Virginia • Unit 6 (RR1) - 14 miles (22.5 km) of the Dan River in Pittsylvania County,Virginia and Rockingham County,North Carolina • Unit 7 (RR2) - 12 miles (19.3 km) of Aarons Creek in Granville County,North Carolina and along the Mecklenburg County-Halifax County line in Virginia and North Carolina • Unit 8 (RR3) —3 miles (4.8 km) of Little Grassy Creek in the Roanoke River Basin in Granville County,North Carolina • Unit 9 (TR1) - 91 miles (146.5 km) of the mainstem of the upper and middle Tar River as well as several tributaries (Bear Swamp Creek, Crooked Creek, Cub Creek, and Shelton Creek), in Granville,Vance, Franklin, and Nash Counties,North Carolina. • Unit 10 (TR2) - 50 miles (80.5km) of Sandy/Swift Creek in Granville, Vance, Franklin, and Nash Counties,North Carolina • Unit 11 (TR3) - 85 miles (136.8 km) in Fishing Creek, Little Fishing Creek, Shocco Creek, and Maple Branch located in Warren, Halifax, Franklin, and Nash Counties,North Carolina DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 6 • Unit 12 (TR4) - 30 miles (48.3 km) of the Lower Tar River, lower Swift Creek and lower Fishing Creek in Edgecombe County,North Carolina • Unit 13 (NR1) - 60 river miles (95 river km) in four subunits including Flat River, Little River, Eno River, and the Upper Eno River in Person, Durham, and Orange Counties, North Carolina • Unit 14 (NR2) - 61 river miles (98.2 river km) in five subunits including Swift Creek, Middle Creek,Upper Little River,Middle Little River, and Contentnea Creek in Wake, Johnston, and Wilson Counties,North Carolina • Unit 15 (CFI) - 4 miles (6.4 km) of habitat in the New Hope Creek in Orange County, North Carolina • Unit 16 (CF2) - 10 river miles (16.1 river km) of Deep River in Randolph County, North Carolina,including the mainstem as well as Richland Creek and Brush Creek • Unit 17 (YR1) - 40 miles (64.4 kin) of Little River in Randolph and Montgomery Counties,North Carolina *JR, CR, RR, TR,NR, CF and YR denote James River, Chowan River, Roanoke River, Tar River,Neuse River, Cape Fear River and Yadkin River Basins,respectively. Critical Habitat Unit 9 is closest occurring 3.6 RM downstream (Figure 2-2). 2.3 Yellow Lance (Elliptio lanceolata) 2.3.1. Species Characteristics The Yellow Lance was described from the Tar River at Tarboro,North Carolina in 1828, by I. Lea(Lea 1828). Johnson (1970) synonymized this species with 25 other named species of lance- shaped elliptio mussels into Elliptio lanceolata species complex. Genotypic and phenotypic analysis suggests that some of these formally described species are valid, including Elliptio lanceolata(Bogan et al. 2009). This species differs from other lanceolate Elliptios by having a "waxy" bright yellow periostracum that lacks rays. Some older specimens are brown towards the posterior end of the shell. The periostracum can also have brown growth rests. Yellow Lance have a distinct pallial line and adductor muscle scars. The posterior ridge is distinctly rounded and curves dorsally towards the posterior end. The nacre ranges from an iridescent blue on the posterior end, sometimes becoming white or salmon colored on the anterior end. The lateral teeth are long,with two on the left and one on the right. Each valve also has two psuedocardinal teeth; on the left valve one tooth is before the other with the posterior tooth tending to be vestigial, and on the right valve the two teeth are parallel and the more anterior one is vestigial (Adams et al. 1990). The Yellow Lance is a tachytictic (short-term)breeder,brooding young in early spring and releasing glochidia in early summer. White Shiner(Luxilus albeolus) and Pinewoods Shiner (Lythrurus matutinus) are potential fish hosts for Yellow Lance (Eads and Levine 2011). DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 7 2.3.2. Distribution and Habitat Requirements This species taxonomy has changed several times and therefore so has its range. The Yellow Lance is currently thought to be distributed in the Atlantic Slope river basins from the Neuse River Basin in North Carolina north to the Rappahannock River Basin in Virginia, except for the Roanoke River Basin, the Patuxent River Basin in Maryland and possibly the Potomac River Basin in Virginia and Maryland(USFWS 2017). It is in considerable decline throughout its range; however, extant populations still occur in all the historic river basins, except possibly the Potomac (USFWS 2017). This species has been found in multiple physiographic provinces, from the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, through the Piedmont and into the Coastal Plain, in small streams to large rivers, in substrates primarily consisting of clean sand, and occasionally gravel,with a high dissolved oxygen content(USFWS 2017,Adams et al. 1990). No remaining populations appear below point source pollution or other nutrient-rich areas (Alderman 2003). Associate mussel species include Atlantic Pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Tar River Spinymussel (Parvaspina steinstansana),Yellow Lampmussel (Lampsilis cariosa), Notched Rainbow(Villosa constricta), Triangle Floater(Alasmidonta undulata), Paper Pondshell (Utterbackia imbecillis), Eastern Lampmussel (Lampsilis radiata), Creeper(Strophitus undulatus), and other Elliptio species (Adams et al. 1990). 2.3.3. Threats to Species Threats to the Yellow Lance and many other species are similar to those described above for the DWM. Factors that influence long term viability of this species are discussed in detail in the USFWS Yellow Lance Species Status Review(2017). 2.3.4. Designated Critical Habitat The Yellow Lance is listed as a Federally Threatened Species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)with Critical Habitat Designation. In accordance with Section 4 of the ESA, Critical Habitat for listed species consists of: (1) The specific areas within the geographical area occupied by the species at the time it is listed, in which are found those physical or biological features (constituent elements)that are: a. essential to the conservation of the species, and b. which may require special management considerations or protection (2) Specific areas outside the geographical area occupied by the species at the time it is listed in accordance with the provisions of Section 4 of the Act,upon a determination by the Secretary that such areas are"essential for the conservation of the species." On April 8, 2021,Yellow Lance Critical Habitat was designated with the listing (86 FR 18189- 18215) and consists of the following (USFWS 2021d): • Unit 1 (PR1) - 10 river mi (16 river km) of the Patuxent River • Unit 2 (RR1) - 44 mi (71-km)in the Rappahannock Subbasin DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 8 • Unit 3 (RR2) - 9 mi (14-km) in the Rapidan Subbasin • Unit 4 (YR1) - 8 mi (13-km) in the South Ana River • Unit 5 (JR1) - 14 mi (23-km) in Johns Creek • Unit 6 (CR1) - 41 mi (66-km) in the Nottoway Subbasin • Unit 7 (TR1) - 91 mi (146-km) in the Tar River • Unit 8 (TR2) - 31 mi (50-km) in the Sandy/Swift Creek Subbasin • Unit 9 (TR3) - 37 mi (60-km) in the Fishing Creek Subbasin • Unit 10 (NR1) - 24 mi (39-km) in Swift Creek • Unit 11 (NR2) - 10 mi (16-km) in the Little River *PR, RR,YR, JR, CR, TR and NR denote Patuxent River, Rappahannock River,York River, James River, Chowan River, Tar River, and Neuse River Basins, respectively. Critical Habitat Unit 7 is closest occurring 11.16 RM downstream (Figure 2-3). 2.4 Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi) The Neuse River Waterdog is a fully aquatic salamander and was first described by C.S. Brimley in 1924 as a subspecies of the Common Mudpuppy (N. maculosus); it was elevated to species status in 1937 by Percy Viosca, Jr. The Neuse River Waterdog ranges in size from 6-9 inches (15.24—22.86 cm) in length; record length is 11 inches (27.94 cm). It has a somewhat stocky, cylindrical body with smooth skin, a rather flattened, elongate head with a squared-off nose, and small limbs. The tail is vertically flattened with fins on both the top and bottom. Distinct from most salamanders,the Neuse River Waterdog, and other Necturus species,have four toes on each foot. The Neuse River Waterdog is a rusty brown color on the dorsal side and dull brown or slate colored on the ventral side. Both dorsal and ventral sides are strongly spotted but the ventral side tends to have fewer and smaller markings; spots are dark bluish to black. They also have a dark line running through the eye. Adults are neotenous and retain three bushy, dark red external gills usually seen in larval amphibians. Both male and female are similar in appearance and can be distinguished only through differences in the shape and structure of the cloaca(Beane and Newman 1996; Conant and Collins 1998; EDGE of Existence 2016). Individuals become sexually mature at approximately 5-6 years of age. Breeding normally occurs in the spring. The male deposits a gelatinous spermatophore that is picked up by the female and used to fertilize between 30-50 eggs. The fertilized eggs are attached to the underside of flat rocks or other submerged objects and guarded by the female until they hatch in June or July (Conant and Collins 1998; EDGE of Existence 2016). 2.4.1.Distribution and Habitat Requirements The Neuse River Waterdog is found only in the Neuse and Tar River basins of North Carolina (AmphibiaWeb 2006; Beane and Newman 1996; Frost 2016). DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 9 Neuse River Waterdogs inhabit rivers and larger streams,where they prefer leaf beds in quiet waters. They need high levels of dissolved oxygen and good water quality. The Neuse River Waterdog is generally found in backwaters off the main current, in areas with sandy or muddy substrate. Adults construct retreats on the downstream side of rocks or in the stream bank where they remain during the day. They are active during the night, leaving these retreats to feed. Neuse River Waterdogs are carnivorous, feeding on invertebrates, small vertebrates, and carrion. Neuse River Waterdogs are most active during winter months even when temperatures are below freezing. During summer months,they will burrow into deep leaf beds and are rarely found. It has been suggested that this inactivity in summer may be an adaptation to avoid fish predators, which are more active at these times. In addition,Neuse River Waterdogs produce a defensive, toxic skin secretion that is assumed to be distasteful to predators (AmphibiaWeb 2006; Beane and Newman 1996; Conant and Collins 1998; EDGE of Existence 2016;NatureServe Explorer 2016). 2.4.2. Threats to Species Any factors that reduce water quality are threats to the Neuse River Waterdog. These can include changes that result in siltation and pollution reducing habitat quality (e.g., channelization, agricultural runoff, and industrial and urban development). Impoundments are also a threat to the dispersal of the species as it is unable to cross upland habitat; Neuse River Waterdogs do not climb and are unlikely to use fish passages (NatureServe Explorer 2016). 2.4.3.Designated Critical Habitat The Neuse River Waterdog has received listing under the ESA as a Threatened Species with Section 4(d) Rule and Critical Habitat Designation. Critical habitat designation provided(CFR Vol. 84 No. 99)consists of the following (USFWS 2021b): • Unit 1 - 8.6 river mi (13.8 river km) of the Upper Tar River in Granville County • Unit 2 - 10.5 river mi (16.9 river km) of Upper Fishing Creek in Warren County • Unit 3 - 63 river mi (101 river km) of lower Little Fishing Creek in Halifax,Nash, and Edgecombe Counties. • Unit 4 - 68-river-mi (110-river-km) segment of Sandy Creek and Red Bud Creek in Franklin,Nash, and Edgecombe Counties • Unit 5 - 100-river-mi (161-river-km) segment of the Middle Tar River in Franklin, Nash, and Edgecombe Counties • Unit 6 - 60 river mi (96.6 river km) in the Lower Tar River Subbasin including portions of Town Creek, Otter Creek, and Tyson Creek in Edgecombe and Pitt Counties • Unit 7 - 41.5 river mi (66.8 river km) of the Eno River in Orange and Durham Counties • Unit 8 - 17.4-river-mi (28-river-km) segment of the Flat River in Person and Durham Counties • Unit 9 - 7.6-river-mi (12.2-river-km) stretch of Middle Creek in Wake and Johnston Counties • Unit 10 - 23.35-river-mi (37.6-river-km) stretch of Swift Creek in Johnston County DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 10 • Unit 11 - 89.6-river-mi (144.2-river-km) segment of the Little River including Buffalo Creek in Franklin, Wake, Johnston, and Wayne Counties • Unit 12 - 18.7-river-mi (30-river-km) segment of Mill Creek in Johnston and Wayne Counties • Unit 13 —40-river-mi of(64.4-river-km) of Middle Neuse River in Wayne and Lenoir Counties • Unit 14— 117-river-mi (188.3-river-km) of Contentnea Creek,Neuse River,Nahunta Swamp, and Pinetree Creek in Wayne, Greene, Wilson, Lenoir, Pitt, and Craven Counties • Unit 15 — 10-river-mi (16-river-km) of Swift Creek in Craven County • Unit 16— 62-river-mi (100-river-km) of Trent River including Beaver Creek in Jones County The Study Area is 15.15 RM upstream of proposed Critical Habitat Unit 1 in the Tar River (Figure 2-4). 2.5 Carolina Madtom (Noturus furiosus) The Carolina Madtom (a small catfish)was described at Milburnie, near Raleigh,NC in the Neuse River by Jordan (Jordan 1889). The Carolina Madtom reaches a maximum size of 132 mm (5.2 inches). Compared to other madtoms within its range, it has a relatively short stout body and a distinctive color pattern of three to four dark saddles along its back that connect a long black stripe on the side running from the snout to the tail. The adipose fin is mostly dark, making it appear that the fish has a fourth saddle. The Carolina Madtom is tan on the rest of its body and yellow to tan between the saddles. The adipose fin and caudal fin are fused together, a distinguishing characteristic from other members of the catfish family (Ictaluridae). There are no speckles on the belly, and the tail has two brown bands that follow the curve of the tail. The Carolina Madtom, like other catfishes,has serrae on its pectoral fins and is thought to have the most potent venom of any of the catfish species (NCWRC 2010). 2.5.1.Distribution and Habitat Requirements The Carolina Madtom is endemic to the Piedmont/Inner Coastal Plain portion of the Tar/Pamlico and Neuse River basins. It occurs in creeks and small rivers in habitats generally consisting of very shallow riffles with little current over coarse sand and gravel substrate (Lee et al. 1980). Burr et al. (1989) found most records came from medium to large streams, e.g.,mainstem Neuse and Tar Rivers and their major tributaries. The population in the Trent River system (part of the Neuse River basin) is isolated from the rest of the Neuse River basin by salinity levels,therefore it is considered a separate population, though it has not been detected in Trent River in the last five years (Sarah McRae,USFWS, personal communication). In the lower portions of these rivers, Carolina Madtom is usually found over debris piles in sandy areas. During nesting season,which is from May to July, they prefer areas with plenty of cover to build their nests with shells,rocks, sticks, bottles, and cans, being suitable cover types. Males guard the nests in which females may lay between 80 and 300 eggs. DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 11 Carolina Madtom is found in usually free flowing water that ranges from clear to tannin rich. It is generally rare throughout its range and is apparently in decline. The Tar River population has historically been more robust than the Neuse River population (Burr et al. 1989), which has shown declines in recent years (Midway 2008). The Little River of the Neuse River Basin has the largest population of Carolina Madtom in the Neuse River Basin, with records from 2016 indicating it is present(Sarah McRae,USFWS,personal communication). A few specimens have been collected from Swift Creek of the Neuse River Basin. Fishing Creek and Swift Creek of the Tar River Basin are also productive systems in regard to Carolina Madtom populations, with around 14 specimens collected in the mid-1980s from Swift Creek(water levels in Fishing Creek prevented sampling during that study). In 2016, a total of 17 individuals were recorded in Swift Creek and a total of four individuals were recorded in Fishing Creek(Sarah McRae, USFWS,personal communication). The Carolina Madtom has been observed in at least 36 localities (Burr et al 1989). Carolina Madtom has a lifespan of about four years with sexual maturity being reached around two years in females and three years in males. Sampling for Carolina Madtom is most effective at dawn and dusk when they are most active and feeding (Mayden and Burr 1981). Their diet consists mostly of benthic macroinvertebrates,which they collect by scavenging for food on the bottom of the stream. 2.5.2. Threats to Species Identified threats to the species include water pollution and construction of impoundments (Burr et al. 1989). Carolina Madtom is susceptible to threats due to its limited range and low population densities (Angermeier 1995, Burr and Stoekel 1999). As a bottom-dwelling fish, Carolina Madtom is susceptible to habitat loss when stream bottoms are impacted by urbanization, impoundments, deforestation, etc. 2.5.3.Designated Critical Habitat The Carolina Madtom has received listing under the ESA as an Endangered Species with Critical Habitat Designation. Critical habitat designation provided at that time (CFR Vol. 84 No. 99) consists of the following (USFWS 2021b): • Unit 1 —26 river miles (42 river km) of Tar River in Franklin, Granville, and Vance Counties • Unit 2 — 66 river miles (106 km) of Sandy/Swift Creek in Edgecombe, Franklin, Halifax, Nash, and Warren Counties • Unit 3 — 86 river miles (138 km) of the Fishing Creek Subbasin in Edgecombe, Franklin, Halifax,Nash, and Warren Counties • Unit 4—20 river miles (32 km) of the Upper Neuse River Subbasin (Eno River) in Durham and Orange Counties • Unit 5 —28 river miles (45 km) of the Little River in Johnston County • Unit 6 — 15 river miles (24 km) of Contentnea Creek in Wilson County DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 12 • Unit 7 — 15 river miles (24 kin) of the Trent River in Jones County The Study Area is located 27.5 RM miles upstream of Critical Habitat Unit 1 in The Tar River (Figure 2-5). 3.0 SURVEY EFFORTS Habitat evaluations and surveys for target species were conducted on November 2, 2021,by Three Oaks personnel Tom Dickinson (Permit 21-ES00343), Trevor Hall, and Lizzy Stokes- Cawley. 3.1 Stream Conditions UT Cub Creek The channel in the surveyed portion of UT Cub Creek ranged from 3 to 7 meters wide,with clay/rocky banks up to 1 meter high that ranged from stable to eroded and undercut. The surveyed reach encompassed a series of mostly shallow riffle/run/pool habitat sequences with mixed cobble, gravel, sand, silt, and clay substrates. Due to persistent dry conditions at the time of the survey, portions of the riffle/run habitats were intermittently dry. Water depth in pools ranged up to two feet deep. Some scour was noted although bedrock present armored much of the channel from significant downcutting. Surrounding land use consists of recently clear-cut forest with a moderate-width,mature hardwood forest buffer present along the creek. 3.2 Methodology Surveys for mussels, Carolina Madtom, and Neuse River Waterdog were conducted from a point approximately 400 meters downstream of the project crossing upstream to a point approximately 100 meters upstream of the proposed project crossing (Figure 1) 3.2.1.Mussels Areas of appropriate habitat were searched, concentrating on the stable habitats preferred by the target species. The survey team spread out across the creek into survey lanes. Visual surveys were conducted using glass bottom view buckets (bathyscopes). Tactile methods were employed, particularly in streambanks and under submerged rootmats. All freshwater bivalves were recorded and returned to the substrate. Timed survey efforts provided Catch Per Unit Effort(CPUE) data for each species. Relative abundance for freshwater snails and freshwater clam species were estimated using the following criteria: DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 13 ➢ (VA)Very abundant> 30 per square meter ➢ (A) Abundant 16-30 per square meter ➢ (C) Common 6-15 per square meter ➢ (U) Uncommon 3-5 per square meter ➢ (R) Rare 1-2 per square meter ➢ (P-) Ancillary adjective "Patchy" indicates an uneven distribution of the species within the sampled site. 3.2.2. Carolina Madtom During the mussel survey effort for the project,the presence of preferred habitats for the Carolina Madtom were assessed and targeted visual surveys were conducted by overturning rocks and debris in these areas. To supplement these efforts, electrofishing surveys were conducted to establish a representative fish community for the site. The fish surveys were conducted within the reach using one Smith Root LR-24 backpack electrofishing unit and dip nets. All habitat types in the survey reach (riffle, run, pool, slack-water, etc.)were sampled. Stunned fish were placed into buckets and were identified, counted, assigned a relative abundance, and released live onsite. Relative abundance reported was estimated using the following criteria: ➢ (VA)Very abundant: > 30 collected at survey reach ➢ (A) Abundant: 16-30 collected at survey reach ➢ (C) Common: 6-15 collected at survey reach ➢ (U) Uncommon: 3-5 collected at survey reach ➢ (R) Rare: 1-2 collected at survey reach It should be noted that relative abundances of particular species can be affected by survey methodologies and site conditions. Thus, some species, particularly those that are found in deeper pools and runs and those that can seek cover quickly, may be under-represented, or not detected within the survey reach. 3.2.3.Neuse River Waterdog Neuse River Waterdog habitat was evaluated as part of the mussel and Carolina Madtom surveys for this project. When present in robust populations, the Neuse River Waterdog can readily be observed by turning over cover objects,which was conducted throughout the survey reach during mussel surveys. The species can also be captured while electroshocking. Additional dip net sweeps through leaf packs and underneath submerged rootmats were conducted to supplement these efforts. 4.0 RESULTS Target species were found during the survey efforts. The specific survey and results are presented below. DENC Person Co Pipeline Aquatic Surveys December 2021 Three Oaks Job#21-336 Page 14 4.1 Mussels While appropriate habitat was present,particularly in deeper pools, no mussel or other aquatic mollusk evidence was found in 3.75 person hours of survey time. 4.2 Carolina Madtom A total of 10 fish species were captured collectively during the efforts in 1,526 seconds of intermittent shocking time (Table 2). The Carolina Madtom was not observed, and fish were found in relative low abundance.

The small size of the stream is likely limiting colonization in the area and known records occur well downstream (Section 1.0). Based on these survey results, impacts to protected aquatic species are very unlikely to occur in the project area. Strict adherence to erosion control standards should minimize the potential for any adverse impacts to occur.

Therefore,we have no comment on the project as proposed. 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, contact Renee Gledhill-Earley, environmental review coordinator, at 919-814-6579 or environmental.review@ncdcr.gov. In all future communication concerning this project, please cite the above referenced tracking number. Sincerely, Ramona Bartos, Deputy State Historic Preservation Officer Location:109 East Jones Street,Raleigh NC 27601 Mailing Address:4617 Mail Service Center,Raleigh NC 27699-4617 Telephone/Fax:(919)814-6570/814-6898 Appendix X General Restoration Plan General Restoration Plan DENC Person County Pipeline Project Rougemont, Person County, North Carolina The proposed project has been designed to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts where practicable. As part of mitigation for unavoidable impacts, the following plan shall be implemented to restore temporarily- affected wetlands and streams.This plan entails restoration of temporarily-disturbed streambanks and wetland areas to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Unless otherwise authorized by the appropriate permits, no fills or spoils of any kind will be permanently placed within wetlands or along streambanks. Further, disturbed streambanks will be permanently stabilized using coir matting (with no plastic or nylon) and native vegetative cover. Proposed restoration activities will include the removal of placed fill material and restoration of original pre- disturbance contours. Excavated material shall be returned to the trench to the extent possible, and remaining excess material relocated and retained on an upland site. Excavated topsoil or streambed substrate will be stockpiled separately, kept viable, and then replaced uniformly over the area of excavation from which it was removed. The native seed mix identified in Table 1 below will be utilized at temporarily-disturbed streambanks and wetland areas. Table 1: Native North Carolina Piedmont Ri.arian Seed Mix Scientific Name Common Name Percentage of Mix Sorghastrum nutans Indiangrass 29.9 Elymus virginicus Virginia Wildrye 20.0 Panicum virgatum Switchgrass 20 Panicum anceps Beaked Panicgrass 10.0 Chasmanthium latifolium River Oats 5.0 Panicum rigidulum Redtop Panicgrass 5.0 Chamaecrista fasciculata Partridge Pea 3.0 Carex vulpinoidea Fox Sedge 2.0 Coreopsis lanceolata Lanceleaf Coreopsis 2.0 Juncus effusus Soft Rush 0.5 Vernonia noveboracensis New York Ironweed 0.4 Helenium autumnale Common Sneezeweed 0.2 TOTAL 100 Native seed mix is to be applied to the disturbed wetland areas and along streambanks.The recommended application rate is 20 pounds per acre.To provide quicker cover, the mix specified in Table 1 should also be augmented with the appropriate cover/companion species, as identified in Table 2. 1 Table 2: Cover/Com•anion S•ecies Scientific Common Season to Name Name Plant Mix Comments Secale cereale Grain Rye September 1 to 30 lbs./acre Grows 3-4' tall, but not a strong a Aril 30 comsetitor. Extremely tolerant of wet soils; Echinochloa Japanese May 1 to August has cold-climate tolerance; helps 10 lbs./acre esculenta Millet 31 reduce weed growth; increases biomass .roduction. Substitutions to the native seed mix identified in this restoration plan may be made with prior approval.Any substitutions shall continue to consist of appropriate native species. Additional information related to restoration activities is included on the Typical Wetland and Stream Crossing Details. Note that in the event of a conflict, the specifications of the approved E&SC plan shall govern. The native seed mix (ERNMX-307) can be obtained from: Ernst Seeds 8884 Mercer Pike Meadville, Pennsylvania 16335 1-800-873-3321 814-336-2404 sales@ernstseed.com 2
