PNG Catawba River Crossing Project
Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties, North Carolina
S &ME Project No. 4335 -14 -058
Dear Mr. Brown and Ms. Higgins:
S &ME, Inc. (S &ME) hereby submits a Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) for the
proposed installation of a segment of 16 -inch diameter natural gas pipeline under the bed
of the Catawba River between Gaston and Mecklenburg Counties in North Carolina.
S &ME has been retained by PNG to provide support services related to Section 10
(Rivers and Harbors Act) and Section 404 (Clean Water Act) authorization by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and Section 401/Buffer Authorization from the N.C.
Division of Water Resources (NCDWR). This project will also require a separate Duke
Energy Conveyance Permit for crossing the Catawba River, which is licensed by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Committee and managed by Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC.
The purpose of the Project is to install an alternative connection between existing 16 -inch
diameter pipelines on opposite sides of the river. The present existing connection is a 12-
inch diameter pipeline segment that was installed prior to current safety inspection
standards that require passage of an in -line inspection device (ILID, aka a "smart pig ")
through the pipeline. The existing 12 -inch connection poses a data collection problem for
ILID inspections; therefore, a new 16 -inch diameter connection needs to be installed.
The Project will also temporarily affect up to 213 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to
the Catawba River (Stream 1), but will not result in any loss of waters of the United
States. The Project entails a horizontal directional drill (HDD) crossing under the bed of
the Catawba River. The temporary impacts to Stream 1 will occur as a result of tie -in and
pipe stringing activities.

In support of this PCN, we have included the following:
• Figures: Site Vicinity Map (Figure 1), USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2), Aerial
Photograph (Figure 3), and Soil Survey Map (Figure 4);
• Appendix I: Pre - Construction Notification (PCN) and Agent Authorization Form;
• Appendix II: Construction Plans;
• Appendix III: Site Photographs;

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
As indicated, S &ME was retained by PNG to assist with the Project. As part of these
efforts, S &ME has performed pedestrian reconnaissances of the proposed crossing entry
and exit workspaces, including assessments for the possible presence of jurisdictional
waters and federally - protected species within these workspaces. A jurisdictional
delineation of the project area was later performed by Engineering Consulting Services
(ECS).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
As indicated, PNG is proposing to connect existing main 16 -inch pipe natural gas
pipelines outside of the lake boundary with a new 16 -inch pipeline segment that will be
installed under the bed of the Catawba River, in close proximity and parallel to the
existing 12 -inch segment. This option will best meet USDOT safety inspection and
assessment requirements, and allow PNG to remain in compliance with federal safety
regulations. Following disconnection, the 12 -inch pipeline segment will be capped and
left in place.
Crossing of the Catawba River is proposed to be done by HDD. The approximate center -
point of this proposed crossing is 35.31207° N, - 80.99372° W. Workspace entrance and
exit points of the HDD will be in existing, maintained PNG rights -of -way (ROW).
Installation of the new pipeline segment may include clearing and grubbing throughout
the workspaces, as well as excavating a trench to connect the pipeline within the HDD
workspace. Construction activities will temporarily affect one stream, but are not
anticipated to have significant adverse impacts down - gradient in the watershed or on
adjacent properties.
The HDD from entry to exit will be for a run of approximately 775 feet. The minimum
depth of the HDD will be 25 feet below the lake bottom. Additional details of the HDD
are shown on the Construction Plans in Appendix II.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
As indicated, S &ME was retained by PNG to assist with the Project. As part of these
efforts, S &ME performed a pedestrian reconnaissance of the proposed crossing entry and
exit workspaces (April 10, 2014), including assessments for the possible presence of

Pre - Construction Notification
PNG Catawba River Crossin
S &ME Project No. 4335 -14 -058
Mav 22. 2014
federally - protected species within these workspaces. Within the existing right -of way
ROW, vegetation was predominantly maintained herbaceous species, consisting of
grasses and various weedy dicots. Scattered woody species (mowed tree and shrub /small
sapling stumps, or cut woody vine stumps) are present, and would be expected to
reestablish, but the maintenance of the ROW prohibits maturing growth of woody
species.
Outside of the ROW corridor, the natural plant community is an upland mix of young,
maturing hardwoods. A dense understory of invasive vegetation was also observed.
Species present included red maple (Acer rubrum), box elder (A. negundo), tulip poplar
(Liriodendron tulipifera), sweet -gum (Liquidambar styraciflua), sycamore (Platanus
occidentalis), elm (Ulmus americana) and oaks (Quercus spp.). Understory vegetation
included shrubs and small trees such as redbud (Cercis canadensis) and Chinese privet
(Ligustrum sinense). Photos of existing conditions at the site are included in Appendix
III.
The project area was assessed for the presence of jurisdictional waters by ECS on April
14, 2014. Aside from the river boundary, ECS determined that one jurisdictional stream
with perennial flow (Stream 1) was present within the project area. Stream 1 is an
unnamed tributary that drains to the Catawba River, and flows through the proposed pipe
stringing area and across the existing ROW. Bank widths generally ranged from four -to-
six feet, with water depths ranging from several inches to more than a foot. A portion of
the stream within the existing ROW has been rip- rapped and appears regularly crossed by
all- terrain vehicle traffic.
ECS did not identify wetlands or other regulated surface waters within the project
boundaries. Information obtained from ECS is included in the Request for Preliminary
JD (Appendix IV).
STREAM AND BUFFER IMPACTS
Identified in the tables below are the stream and buffer impacts that will result from the
proposed project.

Impacts to Stream 1 will occur at two locations. Within the existing ROW a temporary
equipment bridge over the stream will be constructed near the existing rip- rapped area.
Coffer dams will then be constructed upstream and downstream of the existing 12 -inch
pipe location, such that excavation of the old 12 -inch pipe and installation of the new 16-
inch pipe will occur "in the dry." In addition to this, a segment of Stream 1 just upstream
of the existing ROW within the proposed pipe- string area will be spanned with timber

Pre - Construction Notification S &ME Project No. 4335 -14 -058
PNG Catawba River Crossina Proiect Mav 22. 2014
mats to provide vehicular access and safely string the pipe. It should be noted that we
have identified the entire length of Stream 1 within the stringing area as subject to impact
in order to provide the contractor with the flexibility to place mats to the extent they
determine is required for safety. Placement of mats across the entire length of stream
may not be required if the contractor determines that the stringing area can be safely
established with less. The locations of temporary impacts to Stream 1 are depicted on the
Temporary Impact Map in Appendix V.
Upon project completion, affected streambanks will be restored to original grade and
contour, seeded with a native riparian seedmix and stabilized using coir matting. Native
woody vegetation will also be installed on affected streambanks within the temporary
workspace.
The new segment of pipe will be installed near the southern edge of PNG's existing
ROW, and will require clearing of an additional 20 -foot wide strip along that side. The
new 20 -foot ROW segment will be permanently- maintained. The buffer impacts are
identified in Table 2:

Machinery and equipment will be operating within PNG's existing ROW adjacent to the
river, but these areas are already cleared, and, as such, no additional permanent buffer
impacts will occur. Temporarily- affected portions of the buffers within PNG's existing
ROW will be restored and re- planted with native riparian seed mix upon completion of
the project. The buffer impact areas, both permanent and temporary, are depicted on the
Buffer Impact Map in Appendix V.
Establishment and maintenance of the additional permanent ROW at the location of the
replacement segment is required in order to support: 1) leakage surveys from ground
mobile units or aerial technology; 2) aerial patrolling for possible encroachment activity
near the pipeline; 3) identification of possible repairs and maintenance; 4) promotion of
damage prevention through ready, public visual recognition of the easement; and, 5)
minimization of potential canopy encroachment (which creates visibility problems).
PROTECTED SPECIES
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) list of federally - protected species (updated
September 22, 2010) was consulted for a listing of protected species documented within
Gaston and Mecklenburg counties. Listed flora and fauna and their federal rank and
county status are identified in Table 3. Explanations of rankings are included at the end
of the table.

As part of the protected species inquiry, S &ME also reviewed the North Carolina Natural
Heritage Program ( NCNHP) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) files of Element
Occurrence (EO) and Natural Heritage Areas available from NC OneMap. This search
revealed no element occurrences within a two -mile radius circle that included the entire
Project area.
An Information Request letter was sent to USFWS on April 10, 2014. The USFWS
response letter, dated April 18, 2014, stated that the project area may contain habitat
suitable for Schweinitz's sunflower. The Project alignment is along maintained ROW,
which includes both natural vegetation areas of herbaceous and low woody growth, and
maintained lawn areas. Therefore, S &ME's Michael Wolfe, an S &ME botanist with
extensive knowledge of Schweinitz's sunflower during all stages of its development,
reviewed the Project alignment; no specimens of Schweinitz's sunflower were observed.
Consequently, S &ME believes that the proposed project is not likely to adversely affect
this plant species.
As for the remaining federally - protected species listed for these counties, they were likely
not regarded with particular concern by NCNHP or USFWS due to their presence in the
respective county being relatively far removed from the project area. During its
reconnaissance, S &ME did not observe any specimens of the listed plants. There was no
supportive habitat for either the bog turtle or the Carolina heelsplitter, and, though bald
eagles are present along the Catawba River system, there were no eagle nests in the
vicinity of the project.
CULTURAL AND HISTORIC RESOURCES
S &ME sent an Information Request letter to the North Carolina State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO) on March 10, 2014. SHPO's response letter, dated March
24, 2014, stated that they are aware of "no historic resources that would be affected by
project."

AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
To minimize impacts to waters of the U.S. and limit habitat fragmentation, PNG will
install the new pipeline adjacent to its ROW. Additionally, construction equipment
operating near the jurisdictional areas will be limited to that necessary for excavation,
pipe installation and restoration activities. Vegetation near Stream 1 will be cut at ground
level, leaving existing root systems in place to promote re- growth. To the extent
practicable, the stream substrate will be segregated from the underlying subsoil and
stockpiled for replacement following project completion. Yearly vegetation maintenance
is planned to be limited to the existing permanent maintenance corridor.
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices outlined in the most recent version of
the "North Carolina Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual' and
approved by the local governing authority shall be in compliance with specifications
governing the proper design, installation, operation and maintenance of such BMPs to
comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard.
As proposed, the project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 12 and
WQC No. 3884. Following construction, affected stream banks will be restored to their
original grade and contour. As proposed, the project will not result in permanent changes
in pre - construction elevation contours or affect dimension, pattern or profile of the
affected stream.
MITIGATION
Because the pipeline will cross beneath the river, and impacts to Stream 1 are temporary,
the project will not require stream mitigation. The project will not impact wetlands.
Affected streambanks will be restored in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan
(Appendix VII) following completion of the work.
With respect to the Catawba River Basin riparian buffers, temporarily affected portions
of the buffers within PNG's existing ROW will be restored and stabilized with native,
riparian seed mix upon completion of the project. Permanent removal of overstory
vegetation within the ROW will affect 217 square feet of Zone 1 and 276 square feet of
Zone 2. Zone 2 will remain grassed upon project completion, and, as such, no mitigation
is required. Mitigation for the permanent Zone 1 impacts will be satisfied through
payment to the NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program ( NCEEP) with the appropriate
multiplier. An acceptance letter from NCEEP is included in Appendix VII.

No stream crossings within project workspace areas.
3d.
Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the work is to replace a segment of pipe that will not currently accommodate an in -line inspection device.
3e.
Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
PNG will install a new 16 -inch diameter natural gas pipe parallel to an existing 12 -inch pipe, which is being replaced. The
new pipe will be installed beneath the Catawba River by horizontal directional drill (HDD). The existing, 12 -inch segment
will then be grouted and retired in place. The new 16 -inch pipe will be welded to the ends of the existing 16 -inch lines on
either side of the river, providing a seamless 16 -inch pipeine through which an in -line inspection device can travel.
Installation of the new pipe segment will first involve identification of the clearing limits of the HDD entry and exit
workspaces within the existing right -of -way (ROW). Efforts will be made to minimize soil disturbances, and impacts to
forested areas. A temporary equipment crossing will be installed along one side of the ROW and over Stream 1 to
facilitate equipment passage and prevent excessive rutting and ground disturbance. Equipment mats may be placed over
portions of the stream where it flows through the pipe stringing area. Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures
will be installed to prevent sedimentation of nearby waters as a result of construction. An equipment crossing of the
Catawba River is not required.
The HDD will begin in high ground on the west side of the Catawba River, pass beneath the river, and terminate at a high
ground tie -in point on the east side of the river. Where the pipe crosses beneath the Catawba River it will be located
approximately 25 feet below the river bottom. Conventional pipe installation (trenching) will be required at the entry and
exit workspaces .
During construction, the pipe will be strung along the temporary work space and placed on skids (wooden pedestals).
The pipe segments will be welded together, x -rayed and inspected for structural integrity, and then pulled through the
hole drilled by the HDD rig. Following installation of the new pipe, affected areas will be cleaned up, regraded, seeded
and mulched to restore the ROW to general pre- disturbance contours and conditions.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Project design was dictated by USDOT safety regulations, which determined the location, extent and alignment of the pipeline
replacement. Avoidance and minimization could not factor into design, per se. Rather, construction techniques (see below)
had to be the means for avoiding and minimizing impacts.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts to the Catawba River will be avoided by installing the pipe via HDD methods. Buffer impacts were minimized as
practicable, but were not entirely avoidable relative to construction and future inspection and maintenance requirements.
Impacts to Stream 1 will be minized by using in part an existing rip -rap crossing. Impacts to stream 1 through the pipe
stringing area will be minimized by spanning the banks with timber mats.

E. REVIEW PERFORMED FOR SITE EVALUATION (CHECK ALL THAT
APPLY):
❑ Office (Desk) Determination. Date:
❑ Field Determination. Date(s)
1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
2. In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or
a Nationwide General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring
"pre- construction notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non - reporting
NWP or other general permit, and the permit applicant has not requested an
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting
the terms and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4)
that the applicant can accept a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply
with all the terms and conditions of that permit, including whatever mitigation
requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary; (5) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court; and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary

to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be "waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:
SUPPORTING DATA. Data reviewed for preliminary JD (check all that
apply) - checked items should be included in case file and, where checked

Dear Mr. Lawler:
Subject: Federally Endangered and Threatened Species Assessment, PNG Gas Pipeline
Replacement and Catawba River Crossing Project, in Gaston and Mecklenburg
Counties, North Carolina
On March 13, 2014, we received a letter from you in which you requested our review and
comments for the proposed project. We have reviewed the information presented and we are
providing the following comments in accordance with the provisions of the Fish and Wildlife
Coordination Act, as amended (16 U.S.C. 661- 667e), and section 7 of the Endangered Species
Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 -1543) (Act).
According to the information you provided, the project will consist of installing a new 16 -inch
pipeline under the bed of the Catawba River to connect with existing 16 -inch pipeline currently
in place on both sides of the river. The new pipeline will replace an existing 12 -inch pipeline
connector that was installed under the river bed. The new 16 -inch pipeline is needed so that
proper inspection devices such as ILIDs (in -line inspection devices or "smart pigs ") can be used
to conduct pipeline integrity inspections.
Endangered Species. Based on the project location and pictures you provided, there appears to
be suitable habitat for the federally endangered Schweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus
schweinitzii). There are multiple occurrences of this species within a 2,000 -foot radius of the
property. Schweinitz's sunflower occurs in relatively open habitats —road, power line, and other
maintained rights -of -way; early successional fields; forest ecotonal margins; forest clearings; etc.
The species thrives in full sun but also grows in the light shade of open stands of
oak -pine- hickory. Schweinitz's sunflower generally occurs on soils characterized as moist to
dryish clays, clay - loams, or sandy -clay loams that often have high gravel content. Your letter
did not indicate whether surveys have been conducted for this or other rare plant species within
the project impact area. Because there appears to be suitable habitat at the site we recommend
that surveys be conducted for Schweinitz's sunflower. Unless an area has been specifically
surveyed for this listed species or no appropriate habitat exists, a survey should be conducted to
ensure that this species is not inadvertently lost. Schweinitz's sunflower is difficult to identify at

any time, but even more so outside the flowering season of late August to October, so we
recommend that surveys for this species be conducted during this period. In accordance with the
Act, it is the responsibility of the appropriate federal agency or its designated representative to
review its activities or programs and to identify any such activities or programs that may affect
endangered or threatened species or their habitats. If it is determined that the proposed activity
may adversely affect any species federally listed as endangered or threatened, formal
consultation with this office must be initiated.
Erosion Control and Wetland /Stream Protection. Given the proximity of the project to
aquatic environments, measures to control sediment and erosion should be installed before any
ground disturbing activities occur. Grading and backfilling should be minimized, and existing
vegetation should be retained (if possible) to maintain shoreline cover for fish and wildlife.
Disturbed areas should be re- vegetated with native grass and tree species as soon as the project is
completed.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide these comments. If we can be of assistance or if you
have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bryan Tompkins of our staff at
828/258 -3939, Ext. 240. In any future correspondence concerning this project, please reference
our Log Number 4 -2 -14 -149.
Sincerely,

APPENDIX V11: RESTORATION PLAN AND NCEEP
ACCEPTANCE LETTER

RESTORATION PLAN
PNG Catawba River Crossing Project
Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties, North Carolina
The proposed project has been planned to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts where
practicable. As part of mitigation for unavoidable impacts, the following plan is proposed
for implementation to restore temporarily - affected portions of Stream 1 and affected
buffer areas. This plan entails restoration of temporarily - disturbed buffer areas and
streambanks to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon
project completion. Further, it specifies that formerly- wooded portions of Zone 1 will be
permanently stabilized with a native vegetated cover and re- planted with native, woody
vegetation. The measures outlined below will be reviewed with the project contractor
prior to the plan's implementation.
Proposed restoration activities include removal of temporarily - placed fill material at the
tie -in areas and restoration streambanks of original pre- disturbance contours.
Streambanks will be stabilized using coir matting, native riparian seed mix and native,
woody vegetation along banks that were previously wooded. Excavated material shall be
returned to the area from which it was removed, and excess remaining material will be
relocated and retained on an upland site. Excavated streambed substrate shall be
stockpiled separately and then replaced uniformly over the area of excavation from which
it was removed. The native seed mix species identified in Table 1 below shall be applied
to temporarily- disturbed portions of the buffer and streambanks in combination with a
relatively rapid - germinating cover species.

• Combination seed mix to be applied to all disturbed streambanks, extending five feet landward following construction.
• Recommended application rate: 10 -12 lbs. riparian seed mix plus 10 -12 pounds of companion species /acre.
To provide relatively rapid establishment of cover, 50 percent of the total seed mix shall consist
of perennial rye (Lolium perenne) and/or German (foxtail) millet (Setaria italica) as
companion species. Either of these species will germinate and grow quickly, but will not
interfere with development of the riparian seed mix species.

area (per previously prescribed application rate) following planting of the woody species.
Suitable substitutions to the species identified in Table 2 are acceptable following approval
of an S &ME botanist.
Seed and woody planting materials must be from local region suppliers. Listed below are
local suppliers of native seed and plant material. S &ME does not endorse these specific
suppliers; they are listed only for informational purposes. Other local suppliers of native
seed and plant materials may be available and suitable
