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 2 Ethanol Pipeline Project S &ME Project No 4226 -14 -030 Preconstruction Notification July 23, 2014 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 Ethanol Pipeline Project S &ME Project No 4226 -14 -030 Preconstruction Notification July 23, 2014 The necessary supporting documentation, including supportive data forms for the USACE and the DWR, for a Preliminary JD Request is attached as Appendix III 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.

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 Ethanol Pipeline Project SWE Project No 4226 -14 -030 Preconstruction Notification July 23, 2014 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 Ethanol Pipeline Project S &ME Project No 4226 -14 -030 Preconstruction Notification July 23, 2014 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 Table 2: Stream Impacts Table 3: Wetland Impacts •a h ;Impact Amount Crossing, �2�-� °Features ID FlowlRegime � Type of Impact = ,� , , .

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 0 V r mm E ;P N V; v 76 H"te ad J r log T :R7 Ilk 1�4 J.

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 Table 1!
