4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this application: *
The general project area is located within an existing, maintained roadside easement and abuts a maintained sewer line easement on the south side of Williamsboro Road. An exposed
segment of natural gas pipeline is exposed in the bed of Coon Creek and will be removed. Coon Creek is a large, sandy, perennial stream with banks approximately 8 to 10 feet deep and
an active channel width exceeding 30 feet. The creek flows south beneath Williamsboro Road through a series of box culverts, and a large sandbar is located along the left bank. The
exposed natural gas pipe and an adjacent sewerline can be observed within the creek. The vicinity consists of a variety of land uses, including forested areas, residential and light
commercial development.
4b. Have Corps permits or DWR certifications been obtained for this project (including all prior phases) in the past?*
0 Yes 0 No O Unknown
4f. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
0.055 acre in LOD
4g. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams on the property:
33 feet in LOD
4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
Dominion Energy North Carolina (DENC) is planning to remove a segment of their natural gas transmission pipeline that is currently exposed in Coon Creek. This portion of the pipeline is
scheduled to be retired, and the exposed segment will not require replacement.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
DENC plans to remove a segment of their existing pipeline that has become exposed in a streambed. To facilitate equipment access to the creek, timber mats will be placed across the
herbaceous wetlands located within the existing easement on each side of the creek.
The pipe segment will be removed by first excavating an area at the base of each bank. A small coffer dam will be constructed around the segment of excavated bank in order to prevent
flowing water from coming into contact with the work surface. The exposed pipe will then be cut at each end and pulled from the creek. The excavation and cutting will take place "in the
dry." Turbidity curtains will be installed at the downstream end of the easement in order to inhibit minor turbidity that may occur while the cut pipe segment is removed from the water.
Upon completion of the pipe removal, affected portions of the stream will be restored to the approximate pre -disturbance contours and conditions, seeded with a customized riparian seed
mix and stabilized with coir matting. Timber matts will be removed from the wetland areas and a native wetland seed mix applied.

Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Coon Creek Exposure
Oxford, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 22350309
General Project Information
Dominion Energy North Carolina (DENC) is planning to remove a segment of their natural gas
transmission pipeline that is currently exposed in Coon Creek. This portion of the pipeline is scheduled to
be retired, and the exposed segment will not require replacement. The general project area is located
within an existing, maintained roadside easement and abuts a maintained sewer line easement on the
south side of Williamsboro Road in Oxford, Granville County, North Carolina. The general location of the
review area is depicted on the attached Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1). The review area is also depicted on
the appropriate portions of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Exhibit (Figure 2), Soils Exhibit
(Figure 3), and an Aerial Orthoimagery Exhibit (Figure 4).
The proposed work will be conducted entirely within the existing easement, and portions of the
streambanks that are temporarily affected by the work will be restored and stabilized upon completion of
the work.
The review area is located in the Upper Tar Sub -Basin (03020101) and Coon Creek is subject to Tar -
Pamlico riparian buffer rules. However, because the work will take place entirely within an existing,
maintained easement, it is considered "deemed allowable" and buffer authorization from NCDWR is not
required.
The appropriate USGS Topographic Exhibit (Figure 2) depicts Coon Creek and adjacent wetlands in the
within the project area. The USFWS National Wetland Inventory (NWI) dataset also identified areas on the
west side of the stream as freshwater forested/shrub wetlands. Review of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain and floodway datasets revealed that Coon Creek is within a FEMA
floodway and the areas adjacent to the floodway are included in the 100-year floodplain. As such, the
project will also require approval from the Oxford/Granville County, as appropriate, for the temporary
floodplain encroachment.
Predominant soil types mapped within the project area are depicted on Figure 3 and include Appling-
Urban land complex, 2 to 10 percent slopes (AuC); Chewacla and Wehadkee soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes,
frequently flooded (ChA); and Pacolet sandy loam, 10 to 25 percent slopes (PaE). Of these soil types only
Chewacla and Wehadkee soils may be considered hydric.
It is anticipated that the total land disturbance associated with removal of the pipe is 0.70 acre.
Accordingly, submittal of an Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) Plan to the North Carolina Department
of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Land Quality Section for approval will not be necessary.
Jurisdictional Areas
The assessment area was delineated by S&ME on May 5, 2022. Coon Creek (DWR Index No. 28-11-5; Class
C,NSW) is a large, sandy, perennial stream with banks approximately 8 to 10 feet deep and an active
channel width exceeding 30 feet. The creek flows south beneath Williamsboro Road through a series of
box culverts, and a large sandbar is located along the left bank. The exposed natural gas pipe and an
adjacent sewerline can be observed within the creek.

Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Coon Creek Exposure
Oxford, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 22350309
S&ME also assessed the remaining review area for the presence of wetlands or additional water bodies.
Three herbaceous wetland areas were identified within the existing easement. but no additional streams
or water bodies were identified.
Information relative to a Delineation Concurrence is included in Appendix I, and representative data
forms and photographs of the site are included in Appendix II.
Description of the Work
DENC plans to remove a segment of their existing pipeline that has become exposed in a streambed. To
facilitate equipment access to the creek, timber mats will be placed across the herbaceous wetlands
located within the existing easement on each side of the creek.
The pipe segment will be removed by first excavating an area at the base of each bank. A small coffer dam
will be constructed around the segment of excavated bank in order to prevent flowing water from coming
into contact with the work surface. The exposed pipe will then be cut at each end and pulled from the
creek. The excavation and cutting will take place "in the dry." Turbidity curtains will be installed at the
downstream end of the easement in order to inhibit minor turbidity that may occur while the cut pipe
segment is removed from the water.
Upon completion of the pipe removal, affected portions of the stream will be restored to the approximate
pre -disturbance contours and conditions, seeded with a customized riparian seed mix and stabilized with
coir matting. Timber matts will be removed from the wetland areas, and a native wetland seed mix
applied. Proposed Construction Drawings (CD01-CD06) are provided in Appendix III.
A summary of impacts is provided in Table 1.

The combined workspace (0.70 acre) will not exceed 1.0 acre of land disturbance. Therefore, submittal of
an Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) Plan to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ), Land Quality Section for approval will not be required. However, an E&SC Plan was prepared for
DENC's use and will be on -site, implemented and adhered to during performance of the work.

Protected Species
To assist you with determining compliance with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME submitted a request for information to the NCNHP. The NCNHP
responded with a report dated May 23, 2022 (Appendix IV) that lists element occurrences, natural areas,
and managed areas within a one -mile radius of the project area. The report identified no occurrences of
federally protected species or natural areas within a one -mile of the project area.
S&ME also consulted the USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) system for a list of
species that are known or expected to be near the assessment area. The IPaC report identified the species
listed in Table 2 as having potential for direct or indirect affected by activities in the assessment area.

S&ME Project No. 22350309
The study corridor was reviewed by S&ME Natural Resources Professionals for the presence of protected
species with known, current populations within the project area as indicated in the table preceding table.
S&ME also contracted Three Oaks Engineering to conduct an aquatic species survey of the project area on
June 3, 2022 and did not identify any of the target species. Based on the literature review, habitat
assessment, and pedestrian field review of the site, the following conclusions are given regarding listed
protected species:
Surveys of the study corridor did not identify the presence of federally protected terrestrial or
aquatic species. However, it should be noted that the aquatic survey could not be conducted
during the appropriate sampling period for Neuse River waterdog. Therefore, we understand
that the USACE will initiate consultation with the FWS for concurrence with our may affect but
is not likely to adversely affect determination for this species. A copy of the Three Oaks report
will be provided as soon it is received by S&ME.
Effects to federally protected species due to alteration/fragmentation of habitat will not
occur, as the work will take place within an existing, maintained easement.
The potential for direct and indirect short-term effects during construction should be minimal
with implementation of DENC's prescribed avoidance, minimization and mitigative measures,
and in USACE consultation with the USFWS as applicable.
Adverse effects to fish, mussels, and other aquatic species are not anticipated as excavation
will occur within de -watered portions of the creek at the base of each bank.
Potential effects to water quality due to increased turbidity/siltation should be minimal as the
project will employ stringent Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) measures and Best
Management Practices (BM Ps) to reduce the potential for off -site siltation.
Our opinion is that proposed project will have either: 1) no effect on the federally listed species, or with
implementation of the appropriate mitigative measures, or 2) may affect but is not likely to adversely affect
the remaining species identified in the preceding table.
Historic and Archaeological Resources
On May 13, 2022, a background literature review and records search were conducted at the North
Carolina Office of State Archaeology (OSA) and at the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The
records examined at SHPO included a review of National Register and survey files for properties listed in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register and an examination of HPOWEB, 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.
A review indicated there are six previously recorded archaeological sites, three survey only resources, one
survey only area, 20 survey -only resources in a National Register Listed District, two NRHP-listed areas,
two North Carolina Study Listed resources, three North Carolina Study Listed historic districts, and one
previously conducted cultural resource survey within a one -mile radius of the project area (Table 3). None
of the resources or the previously conducted survey are within or directly adjacent to the project area.

Although the project area has not been previously surveyed, the site is within an area that has been
previously disturbed by roadway and utility construction and maintenance. The closest historic property is
roughly 0.4-mile from the project area. It is S&ME's opinion that no historic properties will be affected by
the proposed project and that no additional cultural resource work is necessary for the project as it is
currently proposed.

Avoidance and Minimization
Pre -Construction Notification
DENC Coon Creek Exposure
Oxford, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 22350309
To minimize impacts to Waters of the U.S., DENC has proposed to limit the space for the project to the
existing easement. Additionally, construction equipment operating near the stream will be limited to that
necessary for pipe removal and streambank stabilization activities.
All of the proposed excavation work necessary to expose and cut the buried segments of pipe at the base
of each streambank will be conducted "in -the -dry" behind temporary coffer dams to prevent flowing
water from coming in contact with the work surface. To inhibit off -site siltation during removal of the
exposed segment once it has been cut, a turbidity curtain will be installed at the downstream edge of the
easement.
DENC will conduct a pre -construction meeting with relevant company and contractor personnel, and a
qualified DENC Environmental Inspector will also be present on -site during performance of the work.
The project has been designed to incorporate appropriate erosion and sediment control practices
outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Erosion and Sedimentation Control Planning
and Design Manual" and approved by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR) prior to construction.
Restoration activities at areas temporary affected by the work are described on the construction drawings
and associated details and are also summarized in the Restoration Plan (Appendix V).
As proposed, the project will comply with the remaining applicable conditions of the aforementioned
NWP and GWC. Following the pipe removal work, the temporarily -affected banks of Coon Creek will be
restored in accordance with the accompanying construction documents. Because the project will not
result in permanent stream or wetland impacts, compensatory mitigation should not be required.
• Closing
Thank you for your review of this PCN. Based on our previous communications and understanding of the
appropriate notification requirements, written concurrence from the USACE and NCDWR is required for
the project. Please feel free to contact us at 704.604. 6474 with questions or if you need additional

GENERAL NOTES
1. TIMBER MATS SHALL EXTEND A MINIMUM OF 10 FEET OUTSIDE OF WETLAND
BOUNDARIES.
2. TIMBER MATS MAY ABUT COMPOST FILTER SOCK IF THE SOCKS MAINTAIN AN
EFFECTIVE HEIGHT GREATER THAN THE ADJACENT TIMBER MATS. IF THIS IS
NOT PRACTICAL DUE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF TIMBER MATS OR OTHER FACTORS,
THAN A GAP BETWEEN THE COMPOST FILTER SOCK AND TIMBER MAT SHOULD
BE UTILIZED. ALTERNATIVELY COMPOST FILTER SOCKS OR OTHER MATERIALS
MAY BE USED FOR SIDEBOARDS WITH APPROVAL, PRIOR TO INSTALLATION,
FROM OWNER'S DESIGNATED ENVIRONMENTAL REPRESENTATIVE.
3. INSTALL STABLE APPROACH RAMPS TO TIMBER EQUIPMENT MATS (IF
NECESSARY). EARTHEN RAMPS TO BE CONSTRUCTED OF UPLAND MATERIAL.
TOP SOIL SHALL NOT BE USED TO CONSTRUCT EARTHEN RAMPS.
4. INSTALL TIMBER MATS THROUGH WETLANDS WHERE TRAVEL LANE IS NEEDED.
POSITION A SERIES OF TIMBER MATS TO CREATE A SAFE, FLAT TRAVEL LANE.
TIMBER MATS SHALL BE POSITIONED TO ABUT EACH OTHER.
5. TIMBER MATS SECTIONS ARE TYPICALLY ATTACHED.
T TRAVEL 6. USE ADDITIONAL TIMBER MAT LAYERS TO RAISE TIMBER MAT TRAVEL LANE
JIDTH ABOVE GRADE WHERE POOR SOIL CONDITIONS EXIST. ATTEMPT TO USE NO
NS VARY MORE THAN TWO (2) LAYERS IN WETLANDS.
UIPMENT 7. IF SURFACE WATERS ARE LOCATED WITHIN A WETLAND SYSTEM, EXTEND
MENTS TIMBER EQUIPMENT MATS TO THE TEMPORARY BRIDGE USED TO CROSS THE
WATERBODY IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR CONTINUOUS TIMBER EQUIPMENT MAT
COVERAGE THROUGH THE WETLAND AND SURFACE WATERS AREA.
8. EROSION CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE INSTALLED ADJACENT TO TIMBER
MATS AS SHOWN ON PLAN DRAWINGS.
9. DURING TIMBER MAT TRAVEL LANE INSTALLATION THE CONTRACTOR SHALL
PREVENT THE INTRODUCTION OF UPLAND SOILS OR OTHER MATERIALS INTO
WETLANDS.
10. CLEARING IN WETLANDS MUST BE CONDUCTED WITH AS MINIMAL
DISTURBANCE AS PRACTICAL. WHEN USING MECHANIZED EQUIPMENT; TIMBER
MATS, COMPOSITE MATS, LOW -GROUND PRESSURE EQUIPMENT, OR OTHER
MEASURES MUST BE UTILIZED TO PREVENT THE MIXING OF TOPSOIL AND
ROACH SUBSOIL.
E 3) 11. GRUBBING OR BELOW GROUND VEGETATION REMOVAL SHALL BE LIMITED TO
THAT NECESSARY FOR INSTALLATION OF TIMBER MATS FOR WORK AREA, AND
SAFETY.
MAINTENANCE NOTES
1. INSPECT AT LEAST ONCE PER 7 CALENDAR DAYS AND WITHIN 24 HOURS OF A
RAIN EVENT GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 1.0-IN. IN 24 HOURS. INSPECT MORE
FREQUENTLY DURING PERIODS OF HEAVY USE.
2. TIMBER MATS AND ALL OTHER MATERIALS SHALL BE COMPLETELY REMOVED
DURING FINAL CLEAN-UP. REMOVAL OF THIS STRUCTURE IS NOT CONTINGENT
UPON ESTABLISHMENT OF PERMANENT VEGETATION.

RE: Coon Creek Exposure REpair 22350309
Dear Ashley Bentz:
Roy Cooper. Governor
D. Reid Wilson, Secretary
Misty Buchanan
Deputy Director, Natural Heritage Program
NCNHDE-18037
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, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates
that there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary, or within a one -mile radius of
the project boundary.
Please note that although there may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within or
near the project boundary, it does not imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been
surveyed. The results of this query should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat
exists. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so
that we may update our records.
Please also 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 also not be redistributed without
permission.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at [e-mail] or 919.707.8603.

Project Code: 2022-0045348
Project Name: Coon Creek Exposure
May 23, 2022
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered

05/23/2022 2
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see hops://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/e0-13186. php.

05/23/2022 3
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of
this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit
to our office.

Migratory Birds
Certain birds are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act1 and the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Actz.
Any person or organization who plans or conducts activities that may result in impacts to
migratory birds, eagles, and their habitats should follow appropriate regulations and consider
implementing appropriate conservation measures, as described below.
1. The Migratory Birds Treaty Act of 1918.
2. The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940.
3. 50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)
The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the
USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your
project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this
list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location,
nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact
locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project
area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species
on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing
the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to
additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your
migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be
found below.

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 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.
Breeding Season ( )
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)
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.

05/23/2022 3
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.

Migratory Birds FAQ
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?

05/23/2022 4
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern
(BCC) 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
Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding,
and citizen science datasets 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 (Eagle Act
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 Phenology Tool.
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 Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing
collection of survey, banding, and citizen science 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?
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 Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds 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.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
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 Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles)

05/23/2022 5
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 Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel 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 obtain 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.

Appendix V
Restoration Plan

Restoration Plan
Dominion Energy North Carolina
Coon Creek Exposure
Oxford, 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 the stream. 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 for coffer dam construction or
access and restoration of original pre -disturbance contours and conditions. Excavated material from the base
of the stream where access to the exposed pipe will be made shall be returned to the pit to the extent
possible, and remaining excess material relocated and retained on an upland site. Excavated
topsoil/streambed substrate will be stockpiled separately, kept viable, and then replaced uniformly over the
area of excavation from which it was removed. The native seed mix identified in Table 1 below will be utilized
within temporarily -disturbed streambanks and riparian buffer areas.

Wetland seed mix is to be applied to the disturbed wetland areas. The recommended application rate: 20
pounds per acre. To provide quicker cover, the mixes specified in Tables 1 and 2 should also be augmented
with the appropriate cover/companion species, as identified in Table 3.
Table 3: Cover/Companion Crops
Secale cereale
Cereal or
Winter rye
Early Spring or

Substitutions to the riparian and wetland seed mixes identified in this restoration plan may be made with
prior approval. Note that any substitutions shall consist of appropriate native species, and in the event of a
conflict, the seed mixes identified on the E&SC Plan shall be used.
Additional information related to streambank and wetland restoration activities is included on the
construction drawings and details. Riparian and wetland seed mixes are available at:
