4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose is to provide natural gas service to the Woods Creek Elementary School and strengthen the existing system.
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 construction limits, jurisdictional boundaries, and other associated workspaces. Appropriate erosion and sedimentation
control (E&SC) measures will be installed as construction proceeds to help prevent sedimentation of adjacent jurisdictional features. Grubbing or below -ground vegetation removal outside
of the trenching or for safety will be limited within streamside areas, and impacts to or conversion of forested wetlands is not required.
Following preparation of the workspace area and installation of necessary E&SC measures in upland areas, the trench will be excavated along the "non -working" side of the existing ROW
easement. Lengths of the new pipe will be trucked to the site, strung along the easement, and placed on skids (i.e., wooden pedestals). The pipe segments will be heat -welded together,
inspected, and then lowered into the trench. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and then the trench will be backfilled. Affected areas will then be "cleaned
up" by grading, permanent seeding, and mulching to restore the area as closely as possible to pre -disturbance contours and conditions. All instream work at the proposed crossings will be
conducted in accordance with the applicable permit conditions.

Dear Mr. Phillips and Mr. Wojoski,
On behalf of our client, Dominion Energy North Carolina (Dominion Energy), S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) hereby
submits this notification to inform you of work they plan to conduct in accordance with Nationwide
Permit (NWP) No. 12 and the corresponding North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 4244.
The project will involve installation of a natural gas pipeline primarily within the existing North Carolina
Department of Transportation (NCDOT) right-of-way (ROW) along Woods Creek Road. To accommodate
widening of road, a short segment of the new pipeline will be installed within property currently owned by
Wake County, where Woods Creek Elementary School is under construction. However, NCDOT plans to
expand their ROW at this location such that this segment of the gasline will also be located within the
roadside ROW.
The application and accompanying support information is being submitted through the North Carolina
Department of Water Resources (NCDWR) electronic pre -construction notification (E-PCN) website
(https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/Pre-Construction Notification Form\). The following support materials

Pre -construction written approval is also required from NCDWR because a portion of the new pipeline will
be installed parallel to and within ten feet of a stream, and it was not practicable to design one of the
crossings at a near -perpendicular angle. The project site is not located within a watershed subject to
state -administered riparian buffers.
- Description of the Proposed Work
DENC is currently planning to install approximately 9,045 linear feet of 8-inch diameter plastic natural gas
pipeline and 255 feet of 4-inch diameter plastic natural gas pipeline that will in part provide natural gas
service to the Woods Creek Elementary School located on Woods Creek Road in the Town of Holly
Springs, Wake County, North Carolina.
A majority of the pipeline will be installed within the existing NCDOT ROW. As indicated previously, a
short segment of the new pipe will be installed within property currently owned by Wake County, to
accommodate road -widening and eventually expansion of the NCDOT ROW at that location. The pipelines
will require a minimum disturbed width of 20 feet or from the outside edge of the ROW to the edge of
pavement (whichever is greater). The proposed project includes conventional pipeline crossings of two
streams and additional temporary impacts to an adjacent stream to accommodate workspace for
construction of one of the crossings. At each crossing location, insufficient cover is available above the
existing culverts or headwall to install the pipe within the road shoulder.
The approximate location of the pipeline project area is depicted on the Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1),
appropriate portions of the New Hill, North Carolina U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Exhibit
(Figure 2), the Soils Exhibit (Figure 3), and on the Aerial Orthoimagery Exhibits (Figures 4-7).
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of construction limits, jurisdictional
boundaries, and other associated workspaces. Appropriate erosion and sedimentation control (E&SC)
measures will be installed as construction proceeds to help prevent sedimentation of adjacent
jurisdictional features. Grubbing or below -ground vegetation removal outside of the trenching or for
safety will be limited within streamside areas, and impacts to or conversion of forested wetlands is not
required.
Following preparation of the workspace area and installation of necessary E&SC measures in upland areas,
the trench will be excavated along the "non -working" side of the existing ROW easement. Lengths of the
new pipe will be trucked to the site, strung along the easement, and placed on skids (i.e., wooden
pedestals). The pipe segments will be heat -welded together, inspected, and then lowered into the trench.
Permanent trench breakers will then be installed where necessary and then the trench will be backfilled.
Affected areas will then be "cleaned up" by grading, permanent seeding, and mulching to restore the area
as closely as possible to pre -disturbance contours and conditions. All instream work at the proposed
crossings will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permit conditions.

S&ME Project No. 22350100
Jurisdictional Areas
S&ME visited the project area on February 23, 2022 to delineate jurisdictional features located therein.
S&ME followed the procedures set forth in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and the
appropriate Regional Supplemental Guidance. Field conditions were documented using USACE Routine
Wetland Determination Data Forms, as appropriate. The field review also included identification of
tributaries (streams or jurisdictional ditches) within the project area.
Drainage features identified during the field review were assessed to determine the jurisdictional status of
each tributary. Drainage features were classified as either non -jurisdictional or jurisdictional. S&ME used
the NCDWR Stream Classification Form (Version 4.11) to document characteristics of identified drainage
features on the day of the assessment. During the site assessment, the boundaries of regulated surface
waters were demarcated using sequentially numbered flagging. The location of the jurisdictional features
is depicted on Figures 4-7, and in greater detail on the Impact Exhibits (Figures CD1-2). NCDWR Stream
Forms, and typical photographs of the subject features that will be impacted are included with this
submittal.
Five jurisdictional features were identified within the proposed project area during the site visit. Impacts to
Streams S1 and S2 could be avoided, while impacts to S3, S4, and S5 cannot. The streams are summarized
in Table 1 below.

We understand that an Approved JD was obtained by others for the adjacent Woods Creek Elementary
School property (SAW-2020-00033). DENC provided S&ME with a copy of Wake County's development
plans for the school site, which depicted the limits of the previous delineation conducted on that tract.

Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Woods Creek Road GME
Wake County, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 22350100
S&ME relied on that existing delineation for the portion of the project that crosses the County property,
where S3 is located.
At the two crossing impact locations, insufficient cover exists over the NCDOT culverts in order to install
the new pipe above them. Accordingly, DENC will effort to install the new pipe beneath the existing
streambed. To accommodate excavation and installation of the pipe, additional workspace is required
between the edge of pavement and the outside edge of the existing or proposed NCDOT ROW.
Additional temporary workspace is also required downstream of the proposed crossing locations to
adequately establish a clean -water bypass system.
All of the proposed impacts are temporarily in nature, and no forested wetland will be converted to
herbaceous wetlands. Typical wetland and stream crossing construction details (Figures CD3-8) are
included with the information submitted online with the E-PCN. Following construction, the temporarily
affected jurisdictional areas will be returned to their pre -construction contours and conditions including
being seeded and stabilized.
With respect to riparian buffers, the proposed utility crossings are considered exempt from the riparian
buffer protection rules because they will occur within the maintained NCDOT ROW, where no permanent
overstoryvegetation removal is required, and the existing, on -going use (a maintained easement) will not
change.
Protected Species
To determine the project's compliance with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of
1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME conducted a search of the NCNHP database to identify element
occurrences (EO's) of such species listed as potentially occurring within and near the project area. The
NCNHP list was compared to USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) list. Additionally,
S&ME personnel conducted a pedestrian field review of the site in conjunction with the jurisdictional
delineation to locate potential habitat or the presence of protected terrestrial species that were identified
through the records review. The assessment did not include sampling or a habitat assessment for aquatic
or state -listed species.
The NCNHP report identified no records of federally protected species within the project area or within a
one -mile radius of the site. The USFWS IPaC report identified the following federally protected species
with potential habitat in the vicinity (Table 2):

The USFWS IPaC report did not identify critical habitats within the project area. Based on S&ME's
assessment, the project corridor (i.e., the existing NCDOT ROW an adjacent school construction site) does
not contain suitable habitat for red -cockaded woodpecker, monarch butterfly, or bald eagle. Similarly, the
subject stream channels are either of insufficient size or, in the case of Little White Oak Creek, did not
exhibit habitat of suitable quality likely to support Cape Fear shiner.
However, because the project consists largely of disturbed roadside areas, potentially suitable habitat for
Michaux's sumac is present. A summary of this species is provided below.

Michaux's sumac is a rhizomatous, densely hairy shrub with erect stems approximately one to three feet in
height. The compound leaves are evenly serrated, oblong to lanceolate, acuminate leaflets. Flowers are
small, borne in a terminal, erect, dense cluster and are greenish yellow to white in color. Michaux's sumac
flowers between June and July and the fruit, a red drupe, is produced through the months of August to
October.
Michaux's sumac grows in sandy or rocky open woods in association with basic soils, surviving best in
areas where some form of disturbance has provided an open area. In North Carolina, observed
populations have been identified on highway rights -of -way, roadsides, or on the edges of artificially
maintained clearings. It is commonly observed with species such as pitchfork crowngrass (Paspalum
bifidum), woodland sunflower (Helianthus divaricatus), Carolina fluffgrass (Tridens carolinianus), winged
sumac (Rhus copallinum), green silkyscale (Anthaenantia villosa), skeletongrass (Gymnopogon sp.), and
woolysheath threeawn (Aristida lanosa). This species does not tolerate shade or wet soils.
Current threats to this species include its low reproductive capability, a reduction in habitat due to fire
suppression and habitat destruction due to residential, commercial, and industrial development.
The project corridor contains areas of potentially suitable habitat for this species. However, no individuals
of Michaux's sumac were observed during S&ME's field survey conducted on May 5, 2022, within the
limits of the optimal survey window. Therefore, based on our pedestrian field review, it is not anticipated
that this project will adversely affect populations of this species. S&ME understands that, if necessary, the
USACE will coordinate with the USFWS for concurrence with our findings.
Historic and Archaeological Resources
To help determine the project's compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) of 1966, S&ME conducted a background literature review and records search was conducted at
the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) and at the NCSHPO on February 28, 2022. The
records examined at the NCSHPO included National Register and survey files for properties listed in or
eligible for inclusion in the National Register and an examination of HPOWEB 2.0, a GIS-based program
containing information about aboveground historic resources in North Carolina. Records examined at
OSA included master archaeological site maps, state archaeological site files, and associated
archaeological reports. The area examined was a one -mile radius around the project area (Figure 8)

Our review of HPOWEB 2.0 and the files at OSA indicated there are five previously recorded
archaeological sites, ten survey only resources, and two previously conducted cultural resources surveys
within a one -mile radius of the project area (Table 3 and Figure 8). None of the previously recorded
resources or the previously completed cultural resource surveys are within or adjacent to the project
corridor.

Although the project area has not been previously surveyed, the proposed project corridor is within the
existing NCDOT ROW. The continued maintenance and construction within the existing ROW suggest that
no intact archaeological sites will remain. It is the opinion of S&ME that no additional cultural resource
work would be necessary, and that the project should have no effect on historic resources. We understand
that, if necessary, the USACE will complete coordination with NCSHPO for concurrence with our findings.
• Avoidance and Minimization
The proposed pipeline was routed to minimize stream impacts and avoid wetlands by utilizing areas that
have been previously developed (i.e., the NCDOT ROW) to the extent practicable. A dam -and -pump
system or flume will be used to divert clean water flow around the work area until the stream crossings
are completed. Once work affecting the stream is initiated, it will be carried to completion in an
expeditious manner to minimize the period of disturbance. Typical details for a temporary coffer dam and
pump methodology for isolation of the trench excavation were included in the information submitted
online with the E-PCN.

Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Woods Creek Road GME
Wake County, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 22350100
Project best management practices (BMPs) used in connection with the conventional stream crossings
include the following:
The crossings will be executed in as minimal amount of time necessary.
Sufficient equipment to execute the crossings in an expeditious, environmentally responsible manner
will be available on site prior to initiation of the crossing.
Efforts will be made to perform the crossings during anticipated low flow conditions.
Local weather conditions will be monitored such that, to the extent possible, stormwater events will
be avoided during and immediately following installation of the pipe.
The crossing will be monitored during installation by personnel experienced in stream crossing
procedures, familiar with site conditions, and knowledgeable of North Carolina environmental
regulations. The monitor shall have the authority to stop work should conditions change, and if
additional or different measures are needed.
The upstream and downstream portions of the crossing point will be sealed to isolate the crossing for
pipeline installation "in the dry." Clean steel plates, sandbags, or similar measures will be inserted to
temporarily dam the flow. Steel plates will be cleaned prior to use on streams using biodegradable
products or heat. On both sides of the installed plates (both upstream and downstream) sandbags will
additionally be placed to secure the plates, reinforce the damming of water, and provide a secondary
barrier to seepage. The excavated trench will be monitored for groundwater intrusion and, if noted,
excess water will be pumped to a discharge site located 50'-100' from the top of bank of the receiving
stream. Discharged water from the trench will be filtered through an appropriate E&SC measure.
The top 6-12 inches of streambed substrate will be stockpiled separately from the subgrade material
and kept saturated during the installation.
Pumps will be obtained and staged prior to executing the crossing. Back-up pumps shall be kept on -
site should the primary pump(s) malfunction, or to control high flows. All pumps will have screened
intakes and will be placed in secondary containment for the duration of the installation. In the event
an unforeseen weather event occurs during installation, pumps near the crossing will be monitored
24-hours a day until normal flow conditions are present.
Pump flow rates will be monitored to ensure adequate flow is achieved such that water neither
accumulates behind the upstream dam nor is discharged too rapidly on the downstream side. At the
downstream discharge location, flow discharge rates shall be controlled such that scouring of the
stream bed and/or banks does not occur. Efforts will be made to aerate the water prior to its
downstream discharge into the receiving stream.
Removal of in -stream control devices will be conducted in such a manner as to allow a gradual re-
introduction of flowing water into the channel.
Banks will be restored in a careful manner, achieving pre -construction contours to the extent practical.
Affected streambanks monitored for stability following construction and for the duration of the
pipeline construction. Restoration will be considered complete when herbaceous vegetation reaches
80-percent coverage.
All disturbed areas on streambanks will be seeded with a customized seed mix that will extend 10 feet
landward of the jurisdictional boundary. Stream banks temporarily affected by trenching will be
stabilized with a native seed mix specifically designed for riparian areas, and with biodegradable coir
matting. The affected wetland area will be seeded with a native wetland seed mix; however, no heavy
mulching will occur within the wetland.
Construction equipment operating near the streams will be limited to that necessary for excavation,
pipe installation and restoration activities. Vegetation near the stream will be cut at ground level,
leaving existing root systems in place to promote re -growth.

Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Woods Creek Road GME
Wake County, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 22350100
Appropriate E&SC practices outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and
Erosion 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.
The project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 12 and WQC No. 4244. Following the work,
the affected areas will be restored to their original contours and conditions. As proposed, the project will
not result in permanent changes to the ground surface elevation(s) in the proposed easement or
permanently affect the dimension, pattern, or profile of the subject streams. Temporarily affected areas
are proposed to be restored in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (attached).
Mitigation
The project will not result in the loss of wetlands or Waters of the U.S. In addition, the project will not
convert forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands, and all affected areas will be restored to original
contours and conditions. Therefore, purchase of wetland mitigation credits is not required.
No permanent stream impacts are proposed. Stream impacts authorized under NWP No. 12 are
considered temporary if the affected streams are restored to original pre -construction contours once
construction is completed and do not involve the permanent placement of hard armor. A general stream
and wetland restoration plan is provided. Accordingly, the purchase of stream mitigation credits is
not required.
Closing
Thank you for your review of this courtesy letter associated with the PCN. If you have questions or need

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat
(collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS)
jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list
may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be
directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood and
extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional site -
specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed
activities) information.
.ti
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS
office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section that
follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for additional
information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of project
level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species.
Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of
the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a
dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly
impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move,
and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the
project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -
specific information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary
information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area of
such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any Federal
agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can only be
obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see
directions below) or from the local field office directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website and
request an official species list by doing the following:
1. Log in to IPaC.
2. Go to your My Projects list. Yr‘'
3. Click PROJECT HOME for this project.
4. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA Fisheries ).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown on this list.
Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction.
1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also shows
species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for more
information. IPaC only shows species that are regulated by USFWS (see FAQ).
2. NOAA Fisheries, also known as the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is an office of the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration within the Department of Commerce.
The following species are potentially affected by activities in this location:

Probability of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project activities
to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ "Proper
Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to interpret this
report.
Probability of Presence ( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A
taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used

2/3/22, 11:12 AM IPaC: Explore Location resources
to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the
presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week
where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For
example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of
them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is
calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence
across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted
Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week
of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is
0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of
presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season ( ) k
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its
entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.
Survey Effort (I) N
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys
is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data ( )
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all
years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any
location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur
in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding
their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be
breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be
advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present
on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Rirrls of Cnncervatinn C'nnrarn (RCC) and other species that
may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knn AAPrdge Network
.(AKN) The AKN data is based on a growing collection of qi ir\/ey, hanriing, And riti7Pn crienre rdata'Pts and is queried
and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects,
and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle
(Fagie Art requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or
development.

Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not
representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your
project area, please visit the AKN PhPnnIngy Tnnl
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring
in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian
Knnvwledge Netwnrk (AKN) This data is derived from a growing collection of cl Irvey, handing, and riti7en crienre
datasets
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To
learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability
of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area?
onik
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-
round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or (if you
are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell I ah of lrnithningy Nentrnpiral Rirrds guide If a bird
on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project
area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated,
then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
\ps)
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Plimr\
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range
anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the
continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC -Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of
the Fag e Art requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain
types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to
avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For
more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts
and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird
species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also
offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review.
Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS
Integrative statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year,
including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on
marine bird tracking data, see the Dieing Bird ctl Idy and the nanntag_ctl Idles or contact r'alPh Crieg I or Pam Loring

What if I have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to ohtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle
Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern.
To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your
project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my
specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid
cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at
the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal
bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can
be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and,
therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they
might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm
presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential
impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit
the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at
the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level information
on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high altitude imagery.
Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error is inherent in the use
of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in revision of the wetland
boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts, the
amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted. Metadata
should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be
occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and the
actual conditions on site.
Vv
Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial
imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged aquatic
vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters. Some
deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory. These
habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a
different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this
inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish the
geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in activities
involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal, state, or

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, and/or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project
boundary. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
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 documented within the project area or 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/Di rectory/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.
Also please note that 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 an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler@ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.

General Restoration Plan
Restoration Plan
Dominion Energy North Carolina
Woods Creek Road Gas Main Extension
Wake 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 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 the
streambanks. Further, disturbed wetland areas and 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 and conditions. 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 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 within temporarily -disturbed
streambanks and riparian buffer areas.
