Re: T -9B Distribution Line, Gaston County, North Carolina
Ms Strickland.
PSNC Energy is proposing the construction of the T -9B natural gas distribution line. The
proposed line consists of an approximately 5 mile long, 50 -foot wide corridor routed on
new location, extending from an existing substation located outside of Stanley, North
Carolina, routing south to Ranlo, North Carolina.
Wetland impacts will typically consist of converting forested areas to shrub /scrub or
herbaceous systems. The proposed route has been tweaked to include several existing PSS
systems, to reduce the permanent impact to approximately 0.54 acre Stream channel
impacts will be temporary in nature, including an open trench and refill method. Channel
work will be conducted in dry conditions, utilizing a dam - and -pump or flume system to
temporarily redirect channel flow during pipeline installation. Two stream channels will be
directionally drilled, including the South Fork Catawba River crossing.
Potentially suitable habitat is present within the proposed corridor for the federally
Endangered species, Schwemtiz's sunflower. Surveys were conducted for this species
during the appropriate season, finding no evidence the species is present within the
corridor. A concurrence letter has been sent to the U S Fish and Wildlife Service outlining
the methods and findings Additionally, the concurrence letter outlines site conditions and
requests guidance concerning Northern Long Eared Bat, which is currently proposed for
protection under the Endangered Species Act. Upon receipt of a response, the
recommendations will be acted upon and the letter will be forwarded for inclusion in the
permit file.
A copy of the permit application has been forwarded to Mr William Elliot, U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. A courtesy copy of the permit application has been forwarded to Mr.
Alan Johnson ( NCDWR) for his review
A concurrence letter has been submitted to the N.0 State Historic Preservation Office.
Upon receipt of the continents, their letter will be forwarded for inclusion in the permit
file

We understand that mitigation will likely be necessary for this project Because the nature
of the permanent impact is conversion of wetland type, rather than elimination of
jurisdictional status, we feel that a ratio of 1.1 is warranted. No private wetland mitigation
banks exist within the project vicinity. A letter request will be submitted to the N C
Ecosystem Enhancement Program m -heu fee program for 0.5 acre of mitigation to offset
the permanent impacts.
Attached is the Permit Application and supporting documentation for Nationwide Permit
12 and a check in the amount of $240 00 for the application fee.
I appreciate your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or comments, or need
any additional information, please feel free to contact me at (828) 772 -0269

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project
The majority of the project will take place outside of jurisdictional areas No grubbing or below - ground vegetation removal will
occur within wetlands or along stream banks outside of the construction corridor The pipe will be installed conventionally
within most of the alingment and grubbing will be limited, to the maximum extent practicable, to the trench line Select upland
portions of the ROW may require rough grading to facilitate safe passage of equipment, and to prepare a suitably -level work
surface Appropriate E &SC 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
1 b Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques
Construction will be limited within junsdcitional areas to ensure the least amount of disturbance practicable within jursdicttonal
areas The largest stream crossing, South Fork Catawba River, will be directionally bored, as will an unnamed tributary to
Mauny Creek (Stream 3) and wetland area 5 Stream reach 8 will be avoided
All stream channel work will be conducted in dry conditions, utlizing a dam - and -pump or flume system to temporarily divert
channel flow during pipe installation Timber mats will be utlizied to minimize impacts to wetland areas All work in
jurisdictional areas will be executed in the minimal amount of time necessary to properly install the pipeline, and then returned
to pre - impact contours
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State

(e g , typically 3 months)
3 Supporting documentation ispresented in Section,lII F

SECTION III: CWA ANALYSIS
A. TNWs AND WETLANDS ADJACENT TO TNWs
The agencies will assert jurisdiction over TNWs and wetlands adjacent to TNWs. If the aquatic resource is,a TNW; complete
Section III.A.1 and Section III.D.1. only; if the aquatic resource is a wetland adjacent to a TNW, complete Sections III.A.1 and 2
and Section III.D.1.; otherwise, see Section HI,B below
1. TNW
Identify TNW South Fork Catawba River
Summarize rationale supporting determination It is a large river capable of supporting sizeable craft
Wetland adjacent to TNW
Summarize rationale supporting'conclusion that wetland is "adjacent"
B. CHARACTERISTICS,OF TRIBUTARY (THAT 1SNOT A TNW) AND ITS ADJACENT WETLANDS (IF ANY):
This section' summarizes information, regarding characteristics of the triliutary,and its,adjacent wetlands, if any, and it helps
determine whether or not'the standards for jurisdiction established under Rapanos have been met.
The,agencies'will assert jurisdiction over. non-,navigable tributaries of TNWs where the tributaries are "relatively permanent
waters" (RPWs), i.e. tributaries that typically flow year -round or have continuous flow at least seasonally (e.g., typically 3
months). A wetland that directly abuts an RPW is,also,jurisdictional. If the aquatic resource is not,a TNW, but has year -round
(perennial),flow, skip to Section III.D.2. If the,aquatic resource is a wetland directly abutting a tributary with perennial'-flow,
skip to Section III.D.4.
A- wetland that is adjacent to but that does not directly abut an RPW requires a significant nexus evaluation. Corps districts and
EPA regions will include in the record any avail able'information that documents the existence of a significant nexus between a
relatively permanent tributary that is not perennial (and its,adjacent wetlands if any) and a traditional navigable water, even
though a significant nexus finding is not required as a matter oflaw.
If the waterbody4 is not an RPW, or a wetland,directly abutting.an RPW, a JD will require additional data to determine if the
waterbody has a significant nexus with a TNW. If the tributary has adjacent wetlands, the significant nexus evaluation must
consider the tributary in combination with all of its adjacent wetlands. This significant nexus evaluation that combines, for
analytical purposes, the tributary and,all,of its,adjacent wetlands is,used whether the,review area identified in the JD request is
the,tributary, or its adjacent wetlands, or both. If the JD covers a-tributary with adjacent wetlands, complete Section M.B.1 for
the tributary, Section III.B.2 for any onsite wetlands, and Section IH.B.3 for all wetlands adjacent to that tributary, both onsite
and offsite. The determination whether a,significant,nexus,exists is determined in Section III.0 below.

C. SIGNIFICANT NEXUS DETERMINATION
A significant nexus analysis will,assess the flow characteristics and functions of She tributary itself and the functions performed
by any wetlands adjacent to the tributary to,determine,if they °significantly affect the,chemical, physical, and biological integrity
of a TNW. For,each of the following, situations, a,significant -nexus exists if the tributary, in combination with all of its adjacent
wetlands, has more than a speculative or insubstantial effect on the chemical, physical and/or biological integrity of a TNW.
Considerations when evaluating significant, nexus include, but are,not limited to the'volume, duration, and frequency of the flow
of water in the tributary and its proximity to a TNW, and the'functions performed by'the tributary and'all its,adj'acent
wetlands. It is not appropriate to,determine significant nexus based,solely on any specific threshold of distance (e.g. between a
tributary'and its adjacent wetland,or between a tributary and the TNW). Similarly, the fact an adjacentrwetland lies within or
outside of a floodplain,is, not, solely, determinative �oftsignificant nexus.
Draw connections between,the4eatures documented and the effects on the TNW, as identified in the Rapanos Guidance,and
discussed in the;Instructional Guidebook. Factors'to consider'includeJor example:
• Does the tributary,.in,combination with its,adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to carry pollutants or flood waters to
TNWs, or to reduce the amount of pollutants or flood waters reaching;a TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with,its,adjacent,wetlands (if any), provide =habitat'and lifecycle support functions for fish and
other species, such as feeding, nesting, spawning, or rearing young for species that are present in the TNW?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have the capacity to transfer nutrients and organic carbon that
support downstreamufoodwebs?
• Does the tributary, in combination with its adjacent wetlands (if any), have other relationships to,the physical, chemical, or
biological integrity of the TNW?
Note: the above-list of considerations is not inclusive and,other functions. observed or known to occur should be'documented
below:
Significant,nexus`findings for non -RPW that has no adjacent wetlands and.flows directly,orindirectly intoTNWs. Explain
findings of presence or absence of significant nexus below, based on the tributary itself, then go to Section III D

❑ Demonstrate that irnpoundment�wasi created,from, "waters of the US , ",or
❑ Demonstrate that,water meets the, criteria for one of,theccategones presented above,(1 -6), or
❑ Demonstrate that water is isolated with a nexus,to commerce (see,B,below)
E. ISOLATED [ INTERSTATE OR INTRA- STATE] WATERS, INCLUDING ISOLATED WETLANDS, THE USE,
DEGRADATION OR DESTRUCTION'OF WHICH COULD AFFECT INTERSTATE COMMERCE, INCLUDING ANY
SUCH WATERS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):'"
❑, which are or could be used by interstate or'foreign travelers for recreational or other purposes
❑ from which,fish or shellfish are or could be taken and sold in mterstate,or foreign commerce
❑ which are or could be used for.mdustnal purposes by industries in interstate commerce
❑ Interstate isolated waters Explain
❑ Other factors Explain
Identify water body,and summarize rationale supporting determination:

10 Prior to asserting or declining CWA jurisdiction based solely on this category, CorpsDistricts will elevate `the action to Corps and EPA HQ for
review consistent with the process, described in the Corps/EPA Meneorandum Regarding CWA Act Jurisdiction Following Rapanos.

Provide, estimates for jurisdictional waters m.the review area (check all that apply)
IM Tributary waters linear feet width (ft)
❑ Other non - wetland waters acres
Identify type(s) of waters
❑ Wetlands
acres
F. NON - JURISDICTIONAL WATERS, INCLUDING WETLANDS (CHECK ALL THAT APPLY):
❑ If potential wetlandsswere assessed within the review area, these areas did not meet the criteria in the 1987 Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual and/or appropriate Regional Supplements
❑ Review area included isolated waters, with no substantial nexus to interstate (or foreign) commerce
❑ Prior to the Jan 2001 Supreme Court decision in "SWANCC," the review area would have been regulated based solely on the
"Migratory Bird Rule" (MBR)
❑ Waters do notmeet the " Sigmficant Nexus" standard, where,such a finding is required for jurisdiction Explain
❑ Other (explain, if notcovered above)
Provide acreage estimates for non- lunsdictional waters in thexeview area, where the sole potential basis of jurisdiction is the MBR
factors (i e , presence of migratory birds, presence of endangered species, use of water for irrigated agriculture), using best professional
judgment (checkAl that apply)
❑ Non - wetland waters, (re , rivers, streams) linear feet width (ft)
❑ Lakes/ponds acres
❑ Other non - wetland waters acres Lisf type, of aquatic resource
❑ Wetlands acres
Provide acreage estimates for non- lunsdictional waters m`the,review area that do not meet the "Significant Nexus" standard, where such
a finding is,required for jurisdiction(cheek)all thahapply) ,
❑ Non - wetland waters (i e, rivers, "streams) lmear feet, width (ft)
