1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
S &ME has been contracted by Motiva Enterprises LLC ( Motiva) to assist with project
requirements in accordance with Sections 404 and 401 of the Clean Water Act
Accordingly, S &ME hereby submits this application for impacts to Waters of the U S in
accordance with the conditions of Nationwide Permit (NWP) No 12 and the corresponding
North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3884 The project will involve
construction of approximately 5,200 linear feet (If) of 12 -inch steel pipeline to transport
ethanol The proposed pipeline will be located within a 50 -foot wide combined temporary
and permanent maintenance corridor, of which 25 feet will be permanently maintained over
the proposed pipeline
This Pre - construction Notification (PCN) is being provided to the U S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) for approval, and complies with all applicable conditions of NWP No
12 Wntten concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR)
is also required in part because the proposed project does not meet condition numbers 10,
16, and 17 of WQC No 3884, as specified below
• Condition No 10 The proposed ethanol line will not cross all streams within the
project corridor at a near - perpendicular angle Adjacent existing refined petroleum
storage tanks and an existing CSX railroad limit this crossing angle at one location.
Condition No 16- The proposed pipeline construction corridor will exceed 40 feet
through wetlands and streams. A 50 -foot wide construction corridor is proposed in
order to accommodate equipment, timber mats, and facilitate the installation of the
pipeline
Condition No 17 The proposed project will require a permanently - maintained
right -of -way (ROW) that exceeds 15 feet in width The WQC includes an
exemption for pipelines, so long as mitigation is provided for wetland fills To meet
their operational requirements, Motiva is requesting an additional 5 feet for a total
maintained width of 25 feet at stream and wetland crossings Please note, however,
that permanent placement of fill material will not be required
Impacts due to pipeline activities and installation are minimal in nature and are attributable
to the clearing of new ROW over the proposed pipeline It should be noted that project
impacts will not result in the loss of Waters of the U S , and no fill will be placed
permanently in jurisdictional waters A completed PCN and Agent - Authorization are
attached as Appendix I
Motiva is proposing to construct the pipeline from a CXS Rail Yard to its facility located at
410 Tom Sadler Road, in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (Figures 1 -4) Currently,
ethanol is transported to the Motiva facility via tanker trucks The proposed pipeline will
eliminate the need for trucking the ethanol, reduce safety concerns associated with
transporting ethanol in this manner, and increase the efficiency and cost effectiveness of fuel
transport to the Motiva facility
Ethanol Pipeline Project S &ME Project No 4226 -14 -030
Preconstruction Notification July 23, 2014
This PCN is for authorization of temporary and permanent impacts to Waters of the U S.,
including wetlands The pipeline origin is located Just south of an existing CSX rail line
(35 2748 °N, -80 9299 °W) on an existing CSX rail yard The pipeline will be installed via
Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) for approximately 750 if beneath the railroad and will
exit on City of Charlotte property north of Fred D Alexander Blvd The pipeline will then
turn west for approximately 535 If, crossing a wetland and stream complex At the adjacent
Marathon terminal, the pipeline will run above ground on pipe racks, eventually terminating
at the Motiva facility The pipe for the HDD pullback will be staged and welded within
temporary workspace (TWS) which will be located on the City of Charlotte property The
pipeline is depicted on a Site Vicinity Map (Figure 1), USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2),
Soil Survey Map (Figure 3), and Approximate Waters of the U.S. Map (Figure 4), attached
Project -wide impacts to wetlands and streams are limited to 0.26 acre of wetlands and
199 If of stream Permanent impacts are limited to 0.02 acre, and will result from
establishment of new permanent easement through a forested wetland Two streams will
be temporarily impacted as a result of pipeline activities, however, affected banks will be
returned to original grade and contour, stabilized with coir matting, and seeded with a
native riparian seed mix During design of the pipeline, the alignment was adjusted to
reduce impacts to the extent practicable. Please note that no loss of Waters of the U S
will occur as a result of this project
2. SITE DESCRIPTION AND SURROUNDING LAND USE
S &ME personnel visited the site on March 19th �and,June 17th 2014 to evaluate the
proposed route for jurisdictional features and review the corridor for protected species or
their habitat Jurisdictional features were limited to the southern portion of the route, and
representative photos of jurisdictional features and the project corridor are attached as
Appendix II.
The City of Charlotte property, which includes the subject wetlands, is bisected by a
southwest -to- northeast historic roadway embankment that falls adjacent to and along the
parcel boundary, and extends from the CSX railway ROW on the southern site extent to
the Marathon property at the northern extent. A majority of the site is wooded and
largely undeveloped, but is located adjacent to multiple developed industrial properties
Tree species identified during the reconnaissance include loblolly pine (Pinus taeda),
sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), white oak (Quercus alba), willow oak (Q phellos)
northern red oak (Q rubra), American elm (Ulmus americana), eastern red cedar
(Juniperus virginiana), pignut hickory (Carya glabra), shagbark hickory (C ovata),
flowering dogwood (Corpus florida), and American holly (Ilex opaca) Understory
vegetation include poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Japanese honeysuckle
(Lonicerajaponica), grape (Vitas sp ), Chinese privet (Ligusrum sinense), and Nepalese
browntop (Microstegium vimineum)
The surrounding land use is largely wooded and is surrounded by commercial, industrial,
and residential development in the immediate vicinity

3. JURISDICTIONAL WATERS
S &ME visited the project corridor on March 19th and June 17th 2014 to determine the
presence or absence of Waters of the U S within the pipeline corridor For identification
of wetlands, S &ME followed guidance set forth in the, 1987 USACE Wetlands
Delineation Manual as amended by the Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional
Supplement Guide. Field conditions were documented using USACE Routine Wetland
Determination Data Forms, as appropriate. Stream features were classified following
guidance described in the 2010 NCDWR Stream Identification Methodology of
Intermittent and Perennial Streams and Their Origins ver. 4.11 The delineation revealed
the presence of two jurisdictional wetlands and two jurisdictional streams within or near the
proposed pipeline corridor, referenced herein as Stream 1, Stream 2, Wetland 1, and
Wetland 2 Representative photographs of these features are attached to this application
as Appendix H.
Stream 1 (Photos 1 and 2) is an approximate 710 -1f, intermittent stream that originates
within the site and flows west to a culvert located near the southern site extent at the ,CSX
railroad embankment Stream 1 is a jurisdictional stream that flows to an unnamed
tributary of Paw Creek Stream 1 is characterized by bed material comprised of sand and
artificial substrate, weak in- channel structure and moderate depositional and alluvial
deposits Recorded field score for Stream 1 was 28 (Intermittent)
Stream 2 (Photos 3 and 4) is an approximate 120 -1f, intermittent stream that originates
within the site and terminates at it confluence with Stream 1 Characteristics of Stream 2
include weak channel bed and bank continuity, weak in- channel structure and
development, and limited to no sinuosity of channel thalweg Recorded field score for
Stream 2 was 22 (Intermittent)
Wetland 1 (Photos 5 and 6) is located at the headwaters of`Stream 2 and is connected to
Stream 2 through the culvert located at the historic road embankment Soils within
Wetland 1 exhibited hydric soil indicator F3 (Depleted Matrix) as evidenced by a higher
value, low - chroma soil within the upper six inches of the soil surface Canopy vegetation
included sweetgum, swamp chestnut oak (Quercus michauxu), and American elm. Sub -
canopy vegetation included Japanese honeysuckle, common elderberry (Sambucus
canadensis), Chinese privet, deertongue (Dichanthehum clandestinum), and Nepalese
browntop Wetland 1 is approximately 0 33 acre in size and is classified as a palustrine
unconsolidated bottom system
Wetland 2 (Photo 7) abuts Stream I along a majority of its southern bank within the site
with its geomorphic position within the floodplain of Stream 1 Soils within Wetland 2
exhibited hydric soil indicator F3 (Depleted Matrix) as evidenced by a higher value, low -
chroma soil within the upper six inches of the soil surface Overstory and understory
vegetation included species similar to those identified in Wetland 1 Wetland 2 is
approximately 0 30 acre in size and is classified as palustrine unconsolidated bottom
system

4. PROTECTED SPECIES
To comply with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16
USC 1531- 1543), S &ME initially consulted with the U S Fish & Wildlife Service
( USFWS) and the North Carolina Natural Hentage Program ( NCNHP). S &ME reviewed
the NCNHP and USFWS webpages for records of federally protected threatened or
endangered species that are known to have current or historic populations within
Mecklenburg County, N C Listed species and their respective Federal and County
record status are identified in Table 1 A pedestrian review of the corridor was
performed on March 19, 2014 Please note that aquatic species were not reviewed as part
of the pedestrian reconnaissance No habitat or individuals were noted for the plant
species listed below For the mollusk, while potentially suitable habitat may exist, this
mussel species occurs in drainages of Duck Creek and Goose Creek The streams
delineated drain to Paw Creek, which drains to the Catawba River.

Portions of the pipeline corridor that matched descriptions of preferred habitat for
protected species listed in Table 1 were classified as potential habitat for protected
terrestrial species Please note, a survey for aquatic species was not conducted. A
description of these species, and typical habitat associated with each species are provided
below
Carolina heelsplitter— Federally Listed Endangered
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
The Carolina heelsplitter is most often found in small to large streams with shaded banks in
4
Ethanol Pipeline Project SWE Project No 4226 -14 -030
Preconstruction Notification July 23, 2014
a variety of substrates The shell covenng of this mollusk is typically yellowish, greenish
brown, and may have greenish brown or black rays The general shape of the shell is
trapezoidal. There are two lateral teeth in the left valve and one in the right valve
The Carolina heelsplitter mussel is known from two streams in the Yadkin -Pee Dee basin
in North Carolina, Goose Creek and Duck Creek in Union County Jurisdictional waters
in the study area are limited to two unnamed tributaries of Paw Creek, which does not
drain into the headwaters of Duck or Goose Creeks Accordingly, no impacts to Carolina
heelsplitter are anticipated to result from the proposed project
Schwe►nitz's sunflower— Federally Listed Endangered
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial that regularly grows approximately 6 5 feet tall
(though it can be shorter,if young or injured) and can occasionally reach heights of
16 feet. It has thickened roots that are specially designed to store starch. The stem is
purple, and the upper third bears secondary branches at 45- degree angles The leaves are
arranged in pairs on the lower part of the stem but usually occur singly on the upper part
Leaves grow out from the stem at a right angle, and the tips of the leaves tend to droop
The leaves are thick and stiff, with a rough upper surface They have broad spiny hairs
that are directed toward the tip, and soft white hairs cover the underside The plant
produces small yellow flowers. Schweinitz's sunflower blooms from late August until
frost It occurs in full to partial sun and is found in areas with poor soils, such as thin
clays that vary from wet to dry This preference for poor soil helps minimize competition
from other species. The habitat of Schweinitz's sunflower is open woods, roadsides, and
power line rights -of -way, often on basic soils with bare spots or a gravel component The
preferred sites are characterized by abundant sunlight and little competition in the
herbaceous layer Schweinitz's sunflower is listed as a current record for Mecklenburg
County
The property does not contain suitable habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower Forest
margins and the railroad right -of -way, which may be considered appropriate habitat for
Schweinitz's sunflower on some sites, were dominated by competitive species that are
prevalent on sites that are disturbed at a frequency or level that is not consistent with the
moderate level and occasional frequency of disturbance associated with Schweinitz's
sunflower No individuals of Schweinitz's sunflower were observed during field review
Accordingly, potential future development of the property is not expected to impact this
species
Michaux's sumac — Federally Listed Endangered
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
Michaux's sumac is a non - poisonous, low - growing, deciduous, densely hairy shrub The
erect stems grow from an underground rhizome to a height of one to three feet The
compound leaves are alternate and divided into long rows of 9 to 13 stalk less leaflets
The leaflets are 1 6 to 3 5 inches long, oblong, winged at the base, dull on the top, hairy
on the bottoms, with toothed edges The terminal leaflet has a two -inch long winged
petiole Flowers grow at the top of the plant in a dense, erect cluster, colored greenish-
5

yellow to white, and are four -to five -parted Fruit are hairy reddish drupes, each
containing one seed. This plant is listed as a current record in Mecklenburg County
The property does not contain suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac. Michaux's sumac
prefers sandy, loamy swales and depressions, acidic and circum - neutral uplands, and
rocky open woods It grows best where disturbance has maintained an open area
Michaux's sumac has been found along roadsides, in powerline clearings, and areas
where forest canopies have been opened up by blowdowns and /or hurricane damage.
Episodic fires accentuate habitat for this species and reduce hardwood encroachment,
recycle nutrients, and aid regeneration of longleaf pine /wiregrass communities No
individuals of Michaux's sumac were observed during field review Accordingly,
potential future development of the property is not expected to impact this species
Smooth coneflower— Federally Listed Endangered
BIOLOGICAL CONCLUSION NO EFFECT
Smooth coneflower is a perennial herb that grows up to 3 3 feet tall from a vertical root
stock The large basal leaves may reach 8 inches in length and 3 0 inches in width and
taper into long petioles toward the base They are smooth to slightly rough in texture The
stems are smooth, with few leaves The mid -stem leaves are smaller than the basal leaves
and have shorter petioles. Flower heads are usually solitary. Flowering occurs from late
May through mid -July and fruits develop from late June to September The fruiting
structures often persist through the fall
The property does not contain suitable habitat for the Smooth coneflower as optimal sites
are characterized by abundant sunlight and little competition in the herbaceous layer The
Smooth coneflower is typically found in open woods, glades, cedar barrens, roadsides,
clearcuts, dry limestone bluffs, and power line nghts -of -way, usually on magnesium and
calcium rich soils Smooth coneflower occurs in plant communities that have been
described as xeric hardpan forests, diabase glades of- dolomite woodlands. This plant is
listed as a current record in Mecklenburg County. No individuals of the Smooth
coneflower were observed during field review. Accordingly, potential future
development of the property is not expected to impact this species
5. HISTORICAL RESOURCES
S &ME reviewed the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS
website for historical resources near,or within the °project corridor The results of this
review indicated the presence of one�eligible site,'Thrift Mill, located approximately one
mile west of the project corridor As such, it is not anticipated that archaeological or
historical resources will be impacted as a result of pipeline activities A copy of the
website map depicting the location of the Thrift Mill and approximately location of
pipeline disturbance is attached as Appendix IV
6. PROPOSED PROJECT IMPACTS
The proposed project involves temporary wetland impacts that will occur as a result of
trench excavation, temporary side casting of material and placement of timber mats for the
2

equipment crossings The project will result in conversion of forested wetlands to
herbaceous wetlands within permanent maintained ROW, but will not result in a loss of
Waters of the U S Work in wetlands and streams will be limited to a 50 -foot wide corridor
throughout the project, except where additional workspace is needed for the HDD staging
areas Cleanng of new permanent easement (permanent conversion) will be limited to the
amount necessary to establish a 25 -foot wide permanently maintained easement throughout
the project A summary of project impacts are outlined below in Tables 2 and 3

The project will result in temporary impacts to 115 if of stream through placement of
equipment bridges and isolation crossing methods (dam and pump or flume) around a
segment of stream that will be temporarily excavated for pipe installation. Stream 1 will
be returned to original grade, dimension and profile, and affected banks will be stabilized
with coir'mattmg and a native riparian seed mix No riprap or hard armoring will be
used.
As previously stated, project -wide impacts (combined temporary and conversion) will be
0.26 acre Of those total impacts, maintenance of the new ROW project wide will result in
conversion of 0.02 acre of forested wetland to herbaceous wetlands All wetlands impacted
by construction will be seeded with a native wetland, mix
Proposed project impacts are depicted on Figure 5, attached Typical stream and wetland
crossings details are depicted on Figures 6 and 7 Following construction, temporarily -
disturbed wetlands within the permanent ROW will be restored to an herbaceous state.
7. AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
The applicant has minimized impacts to Waters of the U S to the extent practicable The
project as proposed will result in impacts to two wetlands and two streams, project -wide
Additionally, affected areas will be returned to original grade and contour and stabilized
Ethanol Pipeline Project SWE Project No 4226 -14 -030
Preconstruction Notification July 23, 2014
using native seed mixes, per the attached Restoration Plan (Appendix V)
Where streams are trenched for pipe installation, impacts will be minimized by
stabilizing the temporarily- affected banks with coir matting and seeding with a native
riparian seed mix Stream sedimentation impacts will be minimized through the use of
the dry-ditch construction methods, such as bypass pumping though silt bags or
temporary de- watering structures, or by use of dam and flumes. Wetland impacts will be
minimized during construction through the use of equipment mats at crossings and trench
plugs to prevent alterations to wetland hydrology
Additionally, construction equipment operating within the wetland will be limited to that
equipment necessary for clearing, excavation, pipe installation and restoration activities
Wetland vegetation will be cut at ground level, leaving existing root systems in place to
promote re- growth. To the extent practicable, wetland topsoil will be segregated from
the underlying subsoil in areas disturbed by trenching, except in areas with standing
water or saturated soils, or where no topsoil is evident Total disturbance through streams
and wetlands is limited to a 50 -foot corridor within the pipeline corridor and an area
where clearing of trees will be necessary for the drill rig set up
No grubbing or below - ground vegetation removal will occur within wetlands or along
stream banks outside of the construction corridor Where the pipe will be installed
conventionally (e g. "open- cut "), grubbing will be limited, to the extent practicable, to the
trench line Select portions of the ROW may require rough grading to facilitate safe
passage of equipment, and to prepare a suitably -level work surface Appropriate
sediment and erosion control measures will be installed following initial soil disturbance
as the project progresses Within wetland areas where extensive rutting or soil
disturbance may occur, timber mats are planned for use to provide work and travel space
for equipment
Following construction, all affected stream and wetland crossings will be restored to
original grade and contour. The proposed project will not result in permanent changes in
pre - construction elevation contours or stream dimension, pattern or profile. Excess
material will be removed to a high ground disposal area
All work within Waters of the U S. will be conducted in accordance with the applicable
permits Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be employed at all stream and wetland
crossings to prevent an inadvertent discharge to a Waters of the U S.
8. MITIGATION
Although the project will not result in a loss of Waters of the U S , conversion of forested
wetlands to herbaceous wetlands will occur as a result of ROW establishment It should
be noted that permanent conversion is limited to 0 02 acre of wetland S &ME does not
anticipate compensatory mitigation because the impact is less than the 0 10 acre threshold
requiring mitigation for wetland loss and due to the very limited nature of permanent
impact
9
Ethanol Pipeline Project SWE Project No 4226 -14 -030
Preconstruction Notification July 23, 2014
Stream impacts associated with the project are also temporary, therefore it is anticipated
that compensatory mitigation will not be required The bed and banks of temporarily -
affected stream channels will be restored to their original dimension and profile, and
stabilized with coir matting Riprap will not be employed. At both stream crossings and
wetlands, Motiva will use native seed mixes to provide soil stabilization. The
Restoration Plan submitted with this PCN outlines the seed mixes and application
methods (Appendix V)
Mitigation has also been provided by avoidance and minimization procedures
implemented during the design phase of the proposed project Impacts to streams and
wetlands within the project corridor have been reduced by route selection and by
eliminating temporary workspace through wetlands and streams where possible

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.anylorm of Corps
permit authorization based on a preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and, other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
are Jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes any challenge to
such Jurisdiction in any administrative or Judicial compliance or enforcement
action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court, and (7) whether
the applicant elects to use either an approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable Further, an approved JD, a proffered
individual permit (and all terms and conditions contained therein), or individual
permit denial can be administratively appealed pursuant to 33 C F R Part 331,
and that in any administrative appeal, Jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C F R 331 5(a)(2)) if, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA Jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of Jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable
This preliminary JD finds that there "maybe" 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
informati
later jurisdictional determinations.

RESTORATION PLAIN
Ethanol Pipeline Project
Mecklenburg 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. Further, disturbed wetland areas and
streambanks will be permanently stabilized with a native vegetative cover The measures
outlined below will be specified in the contract documents prepared for construction of
the proposed project.
Proposed restoration activities will include the removal of placed fill material and
restoration of original pre - disturbance contours Excavated material shall be returned to
the trench to the extent possible, and remaining material relocated and,retained on an
upland site Excavated topsoil will be stockpiled separately 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 portions of the ROW
comprised of wetlands
