(S &ME) hereby submits this Pre - construction Notification (PCN) for temporary stream and wetland impacts, along with riparian buffer impacts, in connection with the above - referenced project. The project entails replacement of a circuitous segment of natural gas pipeline with a shorter, straight segment of pipe by horizontal direction drill (HDD). Construction of the new pipeline segment will involve removal of above - ground vegetation within portions of a new right -of -way (ROW) adjacent to an existing Duke Energy ROW. The proposed work conforms with Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12/ General Water Quality Certification (GC) No. 3884, and is part of a larger project that entailed reclamation of PNG's existing Line 330 ROW. Authorization for buffer impacts associated with the parent project (S &ME project No. 1357 -14 -090) was granted on August 21, 2014 (DWR Project No. 14- 0781). The pipeline replacement activities currently proposed by PNG will involve 27 linear feet (If) of temporary stream impact, 0.13 acre of temporary wetland impact, as well as additional riparian buffer impacts. None of the wetland or stream impacts will be permanent or result in a loss of waters of the U.S. The project area is located in Guilford County, North Carolina, within the Randleman Lake Watershed. In support of this application, please find enclosed the following: • Figures: Site Vicinity Map (Figure 1), USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2) and a 2013 Aerial Photograph (Figure 3) S &ME, INC. / 9751 Southern Pine Blvd / Charlotte, NC 28273 / p 704.523.4726 / f 704.525.3953 / www.smeinc.com Pre - Construction Notification SWE Project No. 4335 -14 -212 Line 330 HDD Replacement Project November 24, 2014 • Appendix I: Completed PCN and Authorization to Act as Agent • Appendix II: Site Photographs • Appendix III: Buffer Impact Table • Appendix IV: Impact Drawings • Appendix V: Agency Scoping Responses • Appendix VI: Restoration Plan and Mitigation Request Letter A completed PCN and Agent Authorization Form are included in Appendix I. Because the project does not involve activities requiring submission of a PCN to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ( USACE) under NWP -12, a copy of this application is being provided to the USACE only as a courtesy. PROJECT BACKGROUND PNG is in the process of ROW maintenance and pipeline integrity inspection activities in the Greensboro, North Carolina area. The parent project, within which the proposed HDD work will be conducted, is identified as Line 330. Line 330 originates at an existing station site of Old Greensboro Road in Kernersville, North Carolina, and then runs generally southeast for approximately 20.7 miles while terminating at a second existing station site on the west side of Hunt Road in Pleasant Garden. The proposed HDD work area is located roughly near the mid -point of the route (36.003667 N, - 79.914401 W), south of Guilford College Road and north of Stanford Road in Greensboro, North Carolina. The general project location is depicted on the Site Vicinity Map (Figure 1), and in greater detail on the appropriate USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2), and a 2012 Aerial Photograph (Figure 3). The combined buffer impacts previously authorized by NCDWR in connection with the parent project were limited to 2,056 square feet. There were no stream or wetland impacts associated with that work. PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED The purpose of the replacement is to retrofit the subject segment of pipeline to accommodate passage of an in -line inspection device (aka "smart pig ") by eliminating a series of incompatible bends. As the pipe is currently configured, the smart pig would not be able to travel through the pipe and continuously record data that would allow the pipeline to be assessed in terms of its structural integrity. The data collected by the smart pig are necessary to identify areas that require further inspection, potential repairs or remediation. While the new pipe will be installed within PNG's existing ROW where possible, new ROW has been acquired in order to establish a continuous path for the replacement segment. That portion will abut an existing Duke Energy ROW. The new pipe segment will be tied back to the existing line within PNG's existing easement. PNG considers establishment and regular maintenance of the existing ROW system an important part of their responsibility to provide safe and reliable energy to the 2 Pre - Construction Notification SWE Project No. 4335 -14 -212 Line 330 HDD Replacement Project November 24, 2014 communities they serve. To that end, maintaining and adequate amount of easement on each side of the pipe is required to support: • Leakage surveys from ground mobile units or aerial technology. • Aerial patrolling for possible encroachment activity near the pipeline. • Aid in identification of possible repairs and maintenance. • Promotion of damage prevention in that the easement can be more easily identified by the public. • Minimization of potential canopy encroachment, which creates visibility concerns. • Minimum turn- around requirements for mechanized mowing and side - trimming equipment. In this instance, the new ROW will abut an existing Duke Energy ROW. As such, the new pipe must be sited at least 25 feet from the edge of the Duke Energy ROW. Limiting the width of the new maintained ROW to 30 feet at this location would leave only 5 feet of cleared easement along the south side of the ROW, or require an "island" of trees between the existing Duke Energy and PNG easements. Accordingly, PNG proposes to clear and maintain the entire 50 feet in this location. PNG is prepared to provide appropriate riparian buffer mitigation for these additional required impacts. EXISTING ENVIRONMENT The project area consists primarily of PNG's existing maintained ROW, which is bordered to the north by a Duke Energy powerline easement. The project area is bisected by a sewer line and active railroad and a parking area associated with a municipal training center, beneath which the new pipe will be installed. The project area is located in the Piedmont physiographic province in the Randleman Lake watershed, which itself comprises part of the Cape Fear River basin (HUC 03030003). The nearest stream is an unnamed tributary that drains to Bull Run (Index No. 17 -5 -(1) — Class WS -IV), which is located approximately 1,800 feet northwest of the project area. Land use in the vicinity of the project corridor consists primarily of a mix of woodland, open, maintained land residential and urbanized institutional /light industrial and commercial areas. To determine which streams within the Line 330 ROW, which includes the current HDD project area, were subject to the buffer rules, S &ME originally conducted field reviews over a period ranging from April 8, 2014 through April 28, 2014. In addition to those features that appeared on the most recent version of the appropriate Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey or the appropriate 1:24,000 scale (7.5 minute) quadrangle topographic maps, those that scored greater than 19.0 points on the NCDWR Stream Assessment Form (Version is 4.11, effective September 1, 2010) were considered subject to the buffer. Results of the field assessment were provided to NCDWR as part of the Line 330 ROW Reclamation Project. 3 Pre - Construction Notification SWE Project No. 4335 -14 -212 Line 330 HDD Replacement Project November 24, 2014 S &ME re- visited the site on October 9, 2014 to confirm that stream conditions remained consistent with those previously observed, and to delineate wetlands located within the project area. To conduct the delineation, S &ME followed the procedures set forth in the 1987 US Army Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (Eastern Mountains and Piedmont Regional Supplement Guide). Streams within the current project area were identified as SRI (perennial) and SR2 (intermittent). Two wetland areas (Wetlands WR1 and WR6, both of which are classified as headwater forest wetlands currently in an herbaceous state, will be affected by the project. Typical vegetation observed within the existing ROW was varied, but generally included species such as rye grass (Lolium sp.), goldenrod (Solidago sp.), sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata), big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), broomsedge (Andropogon virginicus), blackberry (Rubus spp.), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), little buttercup (Ranunculus abortivus), and various grasses (Festuca spp.). Soft rush (Juncus effuses), Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium vimineum), tearthumb (Polygonum sagittatum) and shallow sedge (Carex lurida) were observed in wetter areas. Woody saplings observed within less - frequently maintained portions of the ROW included various oaks (Quercus spp.), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), black cherry (Prunus serotina), Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense), winged sumac (Rhus copallina), red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), shortleaf (Pinus echinata) and loblolly pine (P. tadea). Tag alder (Alnus serrulata) and black willow (Salix nigra) shrubs and saplings were observed in the wetland areas. Photos of the typical project corridor conditions are included in Appendix II. PROJECT IMAPCTS Construction of a temporary road to afford the equipment access to the west side of the project area will impact 271f of Stream SRI and 0.05 acre of Wetland WR1. Both the stream and the wetland are located within PNG's exiting ROW. At the eastern end of the project area, establishment workspace to accommodate the drill rig will temporarily affect 0.076 acre of Wetland WR6. All of the affected wetlands are herbaceous, and timber removal will not be required. Zone 1 Buffer impacts associated with the temporary access road, drill rig workspace and clearing the new easement total 26,540 sf. Of these impacts, 14,555 sf will result from permanent removal of trees, while the remaining 11,985 sf will result only from temporary disturbance to accommodate the equipment. With respect to Zone 2, the project will affect 11,254 sf. Of this, 3,018 sf of forested area will be converted to grassed area, while the remaining 8,236 sf will result only from temporary disturbance to accommodate the equipment. These impacts are broken out by crossing on the Riparian Buffer Impact Table (Appendix III), and are depicted on the attached drawings (Appendix IV). 4 Pre - Construction Notification SWE Project No. 4335 -14 -212 Line 330 HDD Replacement Project November 24, 2014 ADDITIONAL REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS Protected Species Pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 1543), S &ME provided the N.C. Natural Heritage Program ( NCNHP) and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service ( USFWS) with a scoping package that included maps and information related to the proposed project on October 6, 2014. The NCNHP responded with an October 20, 2014 letter stating that database does not show any records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project area. Within one mile of the site, the only record of the NCNHP identified was for the Greensboro burrowing crayfish (Cambarus catagius), a state - listed species of special concern. At the time of the submittal, no response from the USFWS has been received. S &ME also review of the USFWS list of federally protected species was consulted for a listing of protected species documented within Guilford County, North Carolina. This review identified only one federally - protected species (a plant) - small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides). A majority of the proposed work will occur within and adjacent to an existing ROW where gas and overhead electric utilities are co- located. Habitat in this area is not suitable for small whorled pogonia, and no plants resembling small whorled pogonia were observed in the wooded area during an October 9, 2014 site visit by S &ME. Historic Properties Pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, S &ME provided the N.C. State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) with a scoping package that included maps and information related to the proposed project. The SHPO responded with an October 21, 2014 letter stating that they had conducted a review of the project and are aware of no historic resources which would be affected by the project, and therefore, had no further comment. Although unlikely, in the event previously unknown historic, cultural or archeological remains and artifacts are encountered while performing the work, the USACE will be notified, and to the maximum extent practicable, reclamation activities that may affect the remains and artifacts will be avoided until the required coordination has been completed. Copies of the agency scoping responses are included in Appendix V. Sediment and Erosion Control An appropriate Sediment and Erosion Control Plan incorporating best measures practices as outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" shall be approved and implemented to comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard. 5 Pre - Construction Notification SWE Project No. 4335 -14 -212 Line 330 HDD Replacement Project November 24, 2014 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION Through agency coordination, the project has implemented avoidance and minimization procedures. Impacts will be minimized by incorporating the following best management practices (BMPs): • Woody vegetation within the buffers shall be cleared at ground level. No land grubbing or grading will be minimized. • Vegetative root systems within the buffer shall be left intact to maintain the integrity of the soil. Stumps shall remain. • No fertilizer shall be used other than a one -time application to re- establish vegetation. • Construction activities shall minimize the removal of woody vegetation, the extent of the disturbed area, and the time in which areas remain in a disturbed state. • Active measures shall be taken following the reclamation and during routine maintenance to promote diffuse flow of stormwater through the buffer. MITIGATION Mitigation for impacts to Zone 1 of the riparian buffer will be provided through the N.C. Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NCEEP). Mitigation for impacts to Zone 2 is not required, as the area is to remain grassed without above -grade construction or impervious surface. A letter requesting the appropriate amount of credit (14,555 sf x 3 = 43,655) is included in Appendix VI. CLOSING Thank you for your review of this PCN and associated support materials.

Therefore, if you have projects that occur within the Raleigh Field Office's area of responsibility (see attached county list), you no longer need to contact the Raleigh Field Office for a list of federally- protected species. Our web page contains a complete and frequently updated list of all endangered and threatened species protected by the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)(Act), and a list of federal species of concern] that are known to occur in each county in North Carolina. Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non - federal representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized, funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any federally- listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the Service is necessary. In addition to the federally- protected species list, information on the species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or evaluation and can be found on our web page at http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh. Please check the web site often for updated information or changes. 1 The term "federal species of concern" refers to those species which the Service believes might be in need of concentrated conservation actions. Federal species of concern receive no legal protection and their designation does not necessarily imply that the species will eventually be proposed for listing as a federally endangered or threatened species. However, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid or minimize adverse impacts to federal species of concern. If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally- listed species known to be present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys. If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely to adversely affect) a federally - protected species, you should notify this office with your determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects, before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles. With regard to the above - referenced project, we offer the following remarks. Our comments are submitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, provisions of the Endangered Species Act. Based on the information provided and other information available, it appears that the proposed action is not likely to adversely affect any federally- listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at these sites. We believe that the requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied for your project. Please remember that obligations under section 7 consultation must be reconsidered if: (1) new information reveals impacts of this identified action that may affect listed species or critical habitat in a manner not previously considered; (2) this action is subsequently modified in a manner that was not considered in this review; or, (3) a new species is listed or critical habitat determined that may be affected by the identified action. However, the Service is concerned about the potential impacts the proposed action might have on aquatic species. Aquatic resources are highly susceptible to sedimentation. Therefore, we recommend that all practicable measures be taken to avoid adverse impacts to aquatic species, including implementing directional boring methods and stringent sediment and erosion control measures. An erosion and sedimentation control plan should be submitted to and approved by the North Carolina Division of Land Resources, Land Quality Section prior to construction. Erosion and sedimentation controls should be installed and maintained between the construction site and any nearby down - gradient surface waters. In addition, we recommend maintaining natural, vegetated buffers on all streams and creeks adjacent to the project site. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has developed a Guidance Memorandum (a copy can be found on our website at (http: / /www.fws.gov /raleigh) to address and mitigate secondary and cumulative impacts to aquatic and terrestrial wildlife resources and water quality. We recommend that you consider this document in the development of your projects and in completing an initiation package for consultation (if necessary). 2 We hope you find our web page useful and informative and that following the process described above will reduce the time required, and eliminate the need, for general correspondence for species' lists.

The NCNHP database does not show any records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation /managed areas within the proposed project area as depicted in the map(s) submitted with your request for information. Within one mile of the proposed project, the NCNHP database shows an element occurrence record for the following rare species: * For status definitions, please see the Help document at http: / /www.ncnhp.org /web /nhp /database- search. Of the two occurrences of Greensboro Burrowing Crayfish documented within one mile of the project area, one is located ca. 0.75 miles northwest in the vicinity of Guilford Road, and the other is ca. 0.7 miles south in the vicinity of Vickery Chapel Road. In addition, the NCNHP database shows several parcels identified as Guilford County open space and owned by the Town of Jamestown within one mile of the project area; one is ca. 0.2 miles northwest of the proposed project area, one is ca. 0.4 miles northeast, and another is ca. 0.9 miles southwest of the project area. Please note that although the NCNHP database may not show records for rare species within the proposed project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed.

Sincerely, Allison Schwarz Weakley, Conservation Planner NC Natural Heritage Program APPENDIX V: MITIGATION REQUEST LETTER AND RESTORATION PLAN RESTORATION PLAN LINE 330 HDD Replacement Project Guilford 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 is proposed for implementation to restore the temporarily- affected wetland areas. This plan entails restoration of temporarily - disturbed areas to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable upon project completion. Further, it specifies that disturbed wetland areas will be permanently stabilized with a native vegetative cover, and affected streambanks seeded and matted. The measures outlined below will be specified in the contract documents prepared for construction of the proposed project. Proposed restoration activities include removal of temporarily - placed fill material and restoration of original pre - disturbance contours. Excavated material shall be returned to the tie -in trench to the extent possible, and remaining material relocated and retained on an upland site. Excavated topsoil shall be stockpiled separately and then replaced uniformly over the area of excavation from which it was removed. At temporarily- affected wetlands and portions of the riparian buffer, the native riparian seed mix specified in Table 1, or a similar, native substitute, shall be utilized. Table 1: Riparian Seed Mix* Species Common Name Percentage of Mix EI mus vi r inicus Virginia wild rye 15 Panicum vir atum Switch grass 15 Agrostis stolinifera Creeping bent grass 10 Rudbeckia hirta, NC ecotype Black-eyed Susan 10 Coreopsis lanceolata Lance leaf tickseed 10 Panicum clandestinum Deer tongue 10 Andropogon gerardii Big bluestem 05 Juncus effusus Soft rush 05 Echinochloa muricata Awned barnyard grass 05 Schizach rium scoparium Little bluestem 05 Sorghastrum nutans Indian grass 05 Tripsacum dact loides Gamma grass 05 100 • Riparian Seed Mix to be applied to all disturbed streambanks, extending five feet landward following construction. • Recommended application rate: 20 -25 lbs. per acre Restoration Plan S &ME Project No. 4335 -14 -212 Line 330 HDD Replacement Project — Guilford County, NC November 24, 2014 To provide quicker cover, the mix specified in Table should also be augmented with the appropriate cover /companion species, as identified in Table 2.
