Dear Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG), S &ME, Inc. (S &ME) hereby submits this
request for re- verification of an existing Nationwide Permit (NWT) No. 12 /General
Water Quality Certification (GC) No. 3884 for temporary wetland and permanent riparian
buffer impacts associated with the above - referenced project. This project involves
replacement of the portion of gasline located beneath N.C. Highway 61 in Gibsonville,
North Carolina (36.115656 N, - 79.548891 W) by horizontal direction drill (HDD).
Staging, access and tie -in excavation activities will affect streams and wetland areas
located on the west side of the highway, but will result in no loss of waters of the U.S.
The original NWP 12 authorization (U.S. Army Corps Engineers [ USACE] - Action ID
No. SAW -2013- 00618) entailed impacts associated with removal of aboveground
vegetation and construction of several permanent stream and wetland crossings within
PNG's existing 50 -foot wide natural gas pipeline right -of -way (ROW), and was issued on
September 10, 2014. Subsequent to that work, authorization for new pipeline relocation
activities that resulted in an additional 125 linear feet (If) of temporary impact to one
perennial stream, was issued on October 21, 2013.
In support of this current application, please find enclosed the following:

• Appendix VI: Restoration Plan and EEP Request Letter
As the project is located in the B. Everett Jordan Lake watershed, it is subject to riparian
buffer rules. The buffer rules state that existing and ongoing uses, such as utility line
ROWs, are exempt. However, only portions of the riparian buffer occupied by the
footprint of the existing use (maintained portions of the ROW) are exempt, and activities
necessary to maintain the use are only allowed provided that the site remains similarly
vegetated.
A copy of this PCN is also being provided to the USACE pursuant to Section 404
requirements. A completed PCN form for the additional impacts that will result from the
proposed relocation is included in Appendix I.
GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND
The proposed pipeline relocation is part of a larger PNG project referred to as Line 386,
or the Greensboro Reclamation. The overall route originates on the south side of N.C.
Highway 150 in the community of Oak Ridge, Guilford County, and extends generally
east - southeast for approximately 40 miles, terminating at a station on the west side of
N.C. Highway 54, south of Burlington in Alamance County. The Greensboro
Reclamation project involved above - ground removal of woody vegetation within portions
of PNG's 50 -foot ROW that have grown up over the years. To accommodate equipment
access, pipes were placed within two jurisdictional streams and grubbing /grading
occurred in a wetland area prior to authorization from the USACE. Impacts to 195 if of
stream channel (153 if temporary and 42 if permanent) and 0.47 acre of wetland (0.41
acre temporary and 0.06 acre permanent) resulted from the work. To account for these
impacts, an "after- the - fact" permit application was submitted to the USACE on May 13,
2013. These impacts were authorized by the USACE on September 10, 2013. That work
has been completed and the temporarily- affected areas restored.
Subsequently, replacement of an existing segment of the gasline immediately north of
Brandt Ridge Drive resulted in an additional 125 linear feet (If) of impact to a perennial
stream (Stream 7a), and authorization was issued on October 21, 2013. That work has
also been completed, and the temporarily- affected areas restored.
Copies of the original permit authorization letters are included in Appendix II.
The purpose of the current replacement project is to address integrity concerns associated
with the segment of pipe located beneath Highway 61. Recent inspection of the line
found that the pipe was installed in a leaking casing. Further, portion of the pipe
approximately 15 east of the end of the casing under Highway 61 was found to be
compromised by corrosion, and must be replaced. Replacement of this segment by
traditional jack and bore methods is not possible due to shallow rock. Accordingly, the
work must be performed by HDD, which requires that a longer segment of the pipe must

Request for Re- verification of Existing NWP -12 SWE Project No. 4335 -14 -133
Line 386 — Hiahwav 61 Drill Replacement — Gibsonville. NC June 11. 2014
be replaced in order to achieve the appropriate horizontal radius of curvature and avoid
the rock.
The old segment of pipe will be removed or grouted and abandoned in place, and the new
segment constructed within PNG's existing 50 -foot ROW. This will require clearing 20
feet of PNG's existing ROW that was not previously maintained. Clearing and
maintaining this additional 20 feet is required in order to comply with federally- mandated
safety and inspection requirements, and in order to safely accommodate construction
activities. A new temporary access road will be constructed from Highway 61 north of
the existing ROW in order to avoid crossing two streams which currently flow through
the area.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The project area is located in the Piedmont physiographic province in the Cape Fear
River Basin (03030002) and Haw Sub - basin. Land use in the vicinity of the project
corridor consists primarily of a mix of residential development, woodland, open,
maintained land and scattered light commercial areas.
Vegetation within the existing PNG ROW was mowed in 2013, and contained fescue
(festuca), rye grain (Secale cereale), blackberry (Rubus sp.), (Andropogon gerardii),
dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus) and
goldenrod (Solidago sp.). Wooded portions of the project area were vegetated with red
maple (Acer rubrum), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), box elder (A. negundo),
sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) and eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana).
Additional mid -and understory and herbaceous species observed included Chinese privet
(Ligustrum sinense), autumn olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) and ironwood (Carpinus
caroliniana). Catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia) and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans)
were also observed.
Streams within the larger Greensboro Reclamation Project, which includes the Highway
61 Drill project area, were originally assessed for buffer subjectivity in January and
February 2013. The primary stream within the current project area was identified as
Stream 29, and classified as a perennial channel.
S &ME visited the project area on May 28, 2014 to re- assess the site for the presence of
wetlands and to update the stream assessment of Stream 29. S &ME followed the
procedures set forth in the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation
Manual (Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement Guide). Wetlands
within the project area were identified with a GPS unit and subsequently mapped by
Regional Land Surveyors (RLS), a registered land surveyor. A second stream channel,
Stream 29A, was also identified as a tributary to Stream 29, and mapped.
Photos of the typical project corridor conditions are included in Appendix III, and
information relating to a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (Pre -JD) of the project
area is included in Appendix IV.

JURSIDICTIONAL IMAPCTS
There were no impacts to Streams 29 and 29A proposed in connection with the currently
authorized NWP No. 12 (SAW- 2013 - 00618). However, the proposed relocation will
temporarily impact 0.265 acre of wetlands, and result in permanent conversion of 0.013
acre of forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands. The project will also result in 599 sf
of impact to Zone 1 buffers, and 298 sf of impact to Zone 2 buffers.
The jurisdictional limits identified and mapped by RLS are depicted on the Jurisdictional
Boundary Drawing (Sheet 1 of 1) along with the project alignment sheet, in Appendix V.
Wetland and buffer impacts authorized in connection with the original permit, along with
the additional impacts that are now currently proposed, are summarized in the following
tables.

As shown in Table 3, the project will permanently impact 599 sf of Zone 1 and 298 sf of
Zone 2. No temporary impacts will result. As noted, no additional permanent or
temporary stream impact is proposed.
ADDITIONAL REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
Protected Species
The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) list of federally protected species was
consulted for a listing of protected species documented within Guilford County, North
Carolina. This review identified only one federally - protected species (a plant) - small
whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides). The proposed work will occur within and

Request for Re- verification of Existing NWP -12 SWE Project No. 4335 -14 -133
Line 386 — Hiahwav 61 Drill Replacement — Gibsonville. NC June 11. 2014
adjacent to an existing ROW where gas and overhead electric utilities are co- located.
Habitat in this area is not suitable for small whorled pogonia, and no plants resembling
small whorled pogonia were observed in the wooded area during a May 28, 2014 site
visit by S &ME.
Historic Properties
To comply with General Condition No. 20 (Historic Properties), S &ME conducted a
review of the Historic Preservation Office GIS Web Service, which indicated that the
closed site listed on the National Register of Historic Places is identified as the Wagoner
House (GF1873), located on Highway 61, approximately 1,500 feet north of the project
site. There were no other properties currently listed or determined eligible for listing in
the National Register of Historic Places within 0.5 mile of the project.
Although unlikely, in the event previously unknown historic, cultural or archeological
remains and artifacts are encountered while performing the work, the USACE will be
notified, and to the maximum extent practicable, reclamation activities that may affect the
remains and artifacts will be avoided until the required coordination has been completed.
Sediment and Erosion Control
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices outlined in the most recent version of
the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" shall be
in compliance with specifications governing the proper design, installation, operation and
maintenance of such best management practices to comply with the appropriate turbidity
water quality standard.
Avoidance and Minimization
The project has implemented avoidance and minimization procedures by replacing the
new line by HDD, and conducting the work within PNG's existing easement. The project
will also incorporate the following best management practices (BMPs):
• Woody vegetation within the buffers shall be cleared by hand. No land grubbing or
grading will be allowed.
• Vegetative root systems within the buffer shall be left intact to the extent practicable,
to maintain the integrity of the soil. Stumps shall remain, except where required to
accommodate safe working conditions.
• No fertilizer shall be used other than a one -time application to re- establish vegetation.
• Construction activities shall minimize the removal of woody vegetation, the extent of
the disturbed area, and the time in which areas remain in a disturbed state.
• Active measures shall be taken following the reclamation and during routine
maintenance to promote diffuse flow of stormwater through the affected area.

Line 386 — Hiahwav 61 Drill Replacement — Gibsonville. NC June 11. 2014
RESTORATION OF AFFECTED AREAS
Details of PNG's plans to restore the wetland and buffer areas are described in the
Restoration Plan in Appendix VI. Wetlands and buffers will be restored to the extent
practicable to near original grade and contour, seeded with a native seed mix and lightly
mulched with straw. Excess fill material fill will be removed and the underlying area
retuned to pre- disturbance contours.
MITIGATION
Cumulatively, the project will not result in wetland impacts exceeding 0.10 acre.
According, we do not anticipate that additional compensatory mitigation will be required.
Mitigation for impacts to Zone 1 of the riparian buffer will be provided through the N.C.
Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Mitigation for impacts to Zone 2 is not
required, as the area is to remain grassed without above -grade construction or impervious
surface. A letter requesting the appropriate amount of credit (599 sf x 3 = 1797) is
included in Appendix VI.
CLOSING

Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The proposed pipeline relocation is part of a larger PNG project referred to as Line 386, or the Greensboro Reclamation.
The purpose of the current replacement project is to address integrity concerns associated with the segment of pipe
located beneath Highway 61. Recent inspection of the line found that the pipe was installed in a leaking casing. Further,
portion of the pipe approximately 15 east of the end of the casing under Highway 61 was found to be compromised by
corrosion, and must be replaced. Replacement of this segment by traditional jack and bore methods is not possible due
to shallow rock. Accordingly, the work must be performed by HDD, which requires that a longer segment of the pipe must
be replaced in order to achieve the appropriate horizontal radius of curvature and avoid the rock.
3e.
Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The old segment of pipe will be removed or grouted and abandoned in place, and the new segment constructed within
PNG's existing 50 -foot ROW. This will require clearing 20 feet of PNG's existing ROW that was not previously
maintained. Clearing and maintaining this additional 20 feet is required in order to comply with federally- mandated safety
and inspection requirements, and in order to safely accommodate construction activities. A new temporary access road
will be constructed from Highway 61 north of the existing ROW in order to avoid crossing two streams which currently
flow through the area. Industry standrad HDD and pipe installation equipment will be used.

land surveyor. A second stream channel, Stream 29A, was also identified as a tributary to Stream 29, and mapped.
5. Project History
5a. Have permits or certifications been requested or obtained for
® Yes ❑ No ❑ Unknown
this project (including all prior phases) in the past?
5b. If yes, explain in detail according to "help file" instructions.
The proposed pipeline relocation is part of a larger PNG project referred to as Line 386, or the Greensboro Reclamation.
The overall route originates on the south side of N.C. Highway 150 in the community of Oak Ridge, Guilford County, and
extends generally east - southeast for approximately 40 miles, terminating at a station on the west side of N.C. Highway
54, south of Burlington in Alamance County. The Greensboro Reclamation project involved above - ground removal of
woody vegetation within portions of PNG's 50 -foot ROW that have grown up over the years. To accommodate equipment
access, pipes were placed within two jurisdictional streams and grubbing /grading occurred in a wetland area prior to
authorization from the USACE. Impacts to 195 If of stream channel (153 If temporary and 42 If permanent) and 0.47 acre
of wetland (0.41 acre temporary and 0.06 acre permanent) resulted from the work. To account for these impacts, an
"after- the - fact" permit application was submitted to the USACE on May 13, 2013. These impacts were authorized by the
USACE on September 10, 2013. That work has been completed and the temporarily- affected areas restored.
Subsequently, replacement of an existing segment of the gasline immediately north of Brandt Ridge Drive resulted in an
additional 125 linear feet (If) of impact to a perennial stream (Stream 7a), and authorization was issued on October 21,
2013. That work has also been completed, and the temporarily- affected areas restored.

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Construction equipment operating within the buffers will be limited to that necessary for pipe tie -in installation and restoration
activities. Vegetation within the buffer (with the exception of the trenchline) will be cut at ground level, leaving existing root
systems in place to promote re- growth, except as needed for safety.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
The project will also incorporate the following best management practices (BMPs): 1) Woody vegetation within the buffers
shall be cleared by hand. No land grubbing or grading will be allowed. 2) Vegetative root systems within the buffer shall be
left intact to maintain the integrity of the soil. Stumps shall remain wher practicable. 3) No fertilizer shall be used other than a
one -time application to re- establish vegetation. 4) Construction activities shall minimize the removal of woody vegetation, the
extent of the disturbed area, and the time in which areas remain in a disturbed state. 5) Active measures shall be taken
following the reclamation and during routine maintenance to promote diffuse flow of stormwater through the buffer.

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
2

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

RESTORATION PLAN

RESTORATION PLAN
LINE 386 — HIGHWAY 61 Drill
Gibsonville, 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 is
proposed for implementation to restore the temporarily - affected wetland areas. This plan
entails restoration of temporarily- disturbed areas to their original contours and conditions
to the degree practicable upon project completion. Further, it specifies that disturbed
wetland areas will be permanently stabilized with a native vegetative cover, and affected
portions of the Zone 1 buffer planted with woody species. The measures outlined below
will be specified in the contract documents prepared for construction of the proposed
project.
Proposed restoration activities include removal of temporarily - placed fill material and
restoration of original pre- disturbance contours. Excavated material shall be returned to
the tie -in trench to the extent possible, and remaining material relocated and retained on an
upland site. Excavated topsoil shall be stockpiled separately and then replaced uniformly
over the area of excavation from which it was removed.
At temporarily- affected wetlands and portions of the riparian buffer, the native riparian seed
mix specified in Table 1, or a similar, native substitute, shall be utilized.

343) and is not required to purchase credits from a mitigation bank.
X There are no known mitigation banks with the requested credit type located in
the hydrologic unit where this impact will take place (link to DWQ list) (see
"approved mitigation bank" link under "Options for compensatory mitigation" heading)
I have contacted the mitigation bank(s) in the hydrologic unit where the
impacts will occur and credits are not available.
The DWQ or the Corps of Engineers did not approve of the use of a mitigation
bank for the required compensatory mitigation for this project.
Note: It is the applicant's responsibility to document any inquiries made to private
mitigation banks regarding credit availability.
I have read and understand EEP's refund policies (attached)
