Proposed PSNC Energy Line T -11 Pipeline Improvements
Durham County, North Carolina
S &ME Project 7235 -14 -007
Dear Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of our client (PSNC Energy), S &ME, Inc. (S &ME) is submitting this Pre -
Construction Notification (PCN) for the above - referenced project as application for a
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) Nationwide Permit Number 12 (NWP 12)
Verification for utility line activities.
The following Appendices include documentation in support of our request:
• Appendix I: Pre - Construction Notification (PCN);
• Appendix II: Figures — Durham County Soil Survey Map (Figure 1), USGS
Topographic Map (Figure 2), Color Aerial Map (Figure 3), Wetland Impact Map
(Figure 4), National Wetlands Inventory Map (Figure 5), Threatened and
Endangered Species Map (Figure 6), Cultural Resource Map (Figure 7);
• Appendix III: Site Photographs
• Appendix IV: USACE Routine Data Forms
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The location of the project area is depicted on the Northeast Durham (2013) USGS
Topographic Map (Figure 1), the Durham County Soil Survey Map (Figure 2), and a
Color Aerial Map (Figure 3). Additional figures are included in Appendix II, including
the Wetland Impact Map (Figure 4).
PSNC proposes to replace a portion of an existing natural gas pipeline in the vicinity of
Falls Lake in order to conduct in -line structural inspections. The project will include
removal of approximately 3,250 linear feet of 10 -inch diameter steel pipeline and
replacing it with the same amount of 12 -inch diameter steel pipeline in the same trench.
PSNC is also proposing to remove an existing gravel station site comprising
approximately 1,273 square feet and replacing it with a new gravel station site
comprising approximately 3,492 square feet.

Water Quality Certification #3884 Application S &ME Project No. 7235 -14 -007
Proposed PSNC Energy Line T -11 Pipeline Improvements July 2 2014
S &ME performed an on -site wetland assessment on June 12, 2014 and submitted a
request for a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (JD) dated June 27, 2014. Wetland
Determination Data Forms and a signed Agent Authorization Form were previously
submitted with the JD request. A stream call request was submitted to NC Division of
Water Resources (NC DWR) on June 23, 2014 and a site visit was conducted on June 26,
2014 with Ms. Cherri Smith of the Raleigh Regional Office. Neither feature shown on the
USDA Durham County 1976 Published Soil Survey nor the feature shown on the USGS
topographic map were determined to be subject to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer
Rules.
PROPOSED PROJECT IMPACT AND MITIGATION
The proposed project will result in a permanent impact to 0.0098 acres of jurisdictional
wetland and a temporary impact to 0.0017 acres of jurisdictional wetland, as depicted on
the Site Maps included in Appendix Il. The USACE deemed mitigation unnecessary due
to the size of the impacts and the no net loss of wetlands.
CLOSING
By copy of this correspondence and completed PCN, we are requesting your written
concurrence with this WQC No. 3884 permit application. If we can provide additional
information or answer questions you may have, please feel free to contact us at
919.872.2660 or email Ashley Steele at asteele(2smeinc.com.

existing, permanently maintained easement with the exception of a small portion approximately 50 feet long which is 35-
40 feet wide This portion is associated with the delineated wetland feature approximately 750 linear feet southwest o the
intersection of Electra Road and Redwood Road Surrounding land use is primarily rural residential The easement
crosses a small airport to the north, southwest through a residential neighborhood, and ends adjacent to,a property used
as a training range for the Sheriff's Office
3b
List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property
0 056 ac
3c List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property

,3d
Explain the purpose of the proposed project-
The purpose of this proiect'is,to replace. an existing portion of an existing natural gas pipeline in order to conduct in -line
structural'inspections Approximately 3;250 linear feet of 10 -inch diameter steel pipeline will be removed and replaced
with the same.amount of 12 -inch diameter, steel pipeline
3e
Describe'the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment,to be used
The portion of pipeline being replaced is within an existing 50 -foot maintained easement Construction and associated
disturbances will be located within the existing easement Approximately 3,250 linear feet of 10 -inch diameter steel
pipeline will be removed and replaced with the same amount of 12-,inch diameterrsteel pipeline 'Due to the nature of
construction and in order to allow,for flexibility during construction, PSNC anticipates a disturbed width of'approximately
50 feet during pipe installation PSNC is also proposing to remove an existing gravel station site,compnsing
approximately 1,273 square feet and replace it with a new gravel station site comprising approximately 3,492 square,feet
Standard construction equipment will be used

C. PROPOSED IMPACTS INVENTORY
2. Wetland Impacts
2h Comments The delineated wetland is comprised of two parts, existing maintained
herbaceous and forested headwater wetland. The existing pipeline is directly adjacent to the tree line,
requiring impacts to the forested wetland in order to access the pipeline Once cleared, the wetland will be
returned to original grade throughout The portion of °the wetland that is currently forested will be
permanently converted to an herbaceous wetland and will be maintained as part of the permanent
easement Temporary impacts to the wetland will total 0 0017 acres and permanent impacts to the wetland
will total 0.0098 acres Mitigation has been deemed unnecessary by the USACE due to the size and no net
loss of wetlands
