4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: *
The purpose of the proposed project is to install a 6-inch steel gas pipeline.
4i. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used: *
Dominion Energy proposed to install a 6-inch steel gas pipeline along NC-98/Wake Forest Highway and will be primarily located within the existing NCDOT Right -of -Way (ROW). The
proposed work to be conducted in and around Laurel Creek will be installed via open -cut trench, which will result in temporary stream impacts, temporary wetlands impacts, and temporary
impacts to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer. Approximately 83 linear feet of temporary stream impacts will result from the stream dewatering and will be restored to existing conditions
following installation of the gas pipeline. Approximately 0.09 acres of temporary forested wetlands impacts will result from the temporary construction easement and workspace needed for
the installation of the gas pipeline. The forested wetland will be allowed to return to its natural state following construction. Approximately 8,732 square feet of temporary impacts to Zone 1
of the riparian buffer are anticipated, and approximately 12,359 square feet of temporary impacts to Zone 2 of the riparian buffer are anticipated. Where the project impacts environmental
features double silt fence will be utilized within the disturbance areas to reduce the impacts from construction. Runoff from impacts will follow silt fence to outlet at compost filter sock silt
fence outlets. Upon construction completion, the area will be restored to its original conditions.
All land disturbing activities shall be conducted in accordance with NCDEQ standards. All temporary erosion control measures shall be maintained in proper working condition during the
period of construction. The ROW extents shall be staked/flagged. Wetlands, stream edges, and buffer zones will be clearly identified prior to land disturbing activities. Erosion control
measures will be installed as needed. Clearing will be as necessary to install erosion control devices. Prior to grading or other earth disturbance of the ROW, sediment barriers and down
slope erosion control measures will be installed. Once all required erosion control measures are in place ditching, stringing, and bending operations may begin. All erosion control
measures will be inspected and maintained, if needed, at least once per week and within 24 hours after a 1.0-inch or more rainfall event. Denuded areas will be stabilized with seed and
mulch, permanent stabilization includes replacement of topsoil and permanent seeding. When construction is complete, all areas will have achieved over 80% permanent vegetative cover
and all remaining temporary sediment pollution controls will be removed.

Impacts are temporary, the buffer area will be returned to pre-existing conditions. The existing NCDOT ROW within the Riparian Buffer is approximately
45 feet wide.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The majority of the project will utilize the NCDOT ROW to minimize impacts to undeveloped areas. Upon completion of the project, the temporary
workspaces will be allowed to regenerate naturally to minimize impacts to wetlands. The stream crossing was designed to be perpendicular. All work to
be conducted will be temporary and all disturbed areas will be returned to existing conditions following construction.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Erosion control devices such as silt fencing would be installed around the project area to prevent construction debris from entering jurisdictional wetlands
and Waters of the U.S. The width of the LOD is the minimum required to safely complete the proposed pipe installation. The work area will be dewatered
and no work will occur in a live stream channel. Down stream flows will be maintained.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
Yes No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why:
The project will not result in a permanent loss of forested wetlands or stream bed. The project falls under the buffers rules as 15A NCAC 02B 0.0714 (11)(nn)(ii) "allowable upon
authorization."
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR) O
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
la. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
Yes No
What type of SCM are you providing?
Level Spreader
Vegetated Conveyance (lower SHWT)
Wetland Swale (higher SHWT)
Other SCM that removes minimum 30% nitrogen
Proposed project will not create concentrated stormwater flow through the buffer

Authorization
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina
Kleinfelder Project No. 20221261.001A
Dear Mr. Thomas and Ms. Gibby:
On behalf of Dominion Energy North Carolina (DENC), Kleinfelder, Inc. (Kleinfelder) respectfully
submits this Pre -construction Notification (PCN), in pursuant to Section 401 of the Clean Water
Act and Neuse River Riparian Buffer authorization, for the proposed DENC NC-98 Enhancement
project (the Project) located in Durham County, North Carolina (35.982249,-78.719321). The
project consists of installing a 6-inch steel gas pipeline parallel to NC-98/Wake Forest Highway,
primarily within the existing NCDOT Right -of -Way (ROW); see Appendix F for the ROW
encroachment agreement. A portion of the temporary construction easement will encroach upon
Parcel ID 195198. DENC is in the process of obtaining a temporary easement from the property
owner. A copy will be provided when received. Approximately 950 linear feet of pipe will be
installed in the vicinity of Laurel Creek via open -cut trench, which will result in temporary stream
impacts, temporary wetland impacts, and temporary impacts to the Neuse River Riparian Buffer.
The impacts to the riparian buffer fall under the buffer rules as 15A NCAC 02B 0.0714 (11)(nn)(ii)
as "allowable upon authorization". The proposed construction corridor is approximately 75 feet
wide, which is greater than the limits covered under Water Quality General Certification No. 4244.
Approximately 83 linear feet of temporary stream impacts will result from the stream dewatering
and pipe installation, and will be restored to existing conditions following installation of the gas
pipeline. Approximately 0.09 acres of temporary forested wetlands impacts will result from the
temporary construction easement and workspace needed for the installation of the gas pipeline.
The forested wetland will be allowed to return to its natural state following construction.
Approximately 8,732 square feet of temporary impacts to Zone 1 of the riparian buffer are

anticipated, and approximately 12,359 square feet of temporary impacts to Zone 2 of the riparian
buffer are anticipated.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Information for Planning and Construction (IPaC)
lists four federally threatened/endangered species with the potential to occur within the Project's
LOD. These species include the Neuse River Waterdog (Necturus lewisi), Carolina madtom
(Noturus furiosus), Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii), and Scweinitz's sunflower (Helianthus
schweinitzii). In addition to these four species, the monarch butterfly (Danuas plexippus) and
tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus) are listed as candidate and proposed endangered,
respectively, and are not subject to Section 7 requirements under the Endangered Species Act.
The USFWS IPaC Resource List is attached as Appendix B.
Suitable habitat is present for Michaux's sumac and Schweinitiz's sunflower within the maintained
ROW. Kleinfelder conducted aquatic resources surveys on September 3 and October 6, 2021,
which is within the USFWS optimal survey window for both species. During these field surveys,
neither Michaux's sumac nor Schweinitz's sunflower were observed.
Suitable habitat is not present for the Carolina madtom or Neuse River waterdog within Laurel
Creek. Laurel Creek contains the substrate and stream size that is associated with Carolina
madtom habitat; however, water depths in the portion of Laurel Creek that is within the LOD
ranges from 3 to 6 inches, which is less than the required depths for this species. Laurel Creek is
not large enough to support the Neuse River waterdog. This species is found in streams/rivers
wider than 15 meters and deeper than 1 meter. See Appendix C for photos depicting stream
characteristics. Additionally, the Project is located in the Middle Falls Lake watershed (HUC
0302020105). Occurrences by HUC10 Watershed figures were obtained from the NC Wildlife
Resources Commission. These maps indicate that there are no recent records of Carolina
madtom in the Middle Falls Lake watershed, and that this watershed is likely not occupied by the
Neuse River waterdog. The Occurrences by HUC10 Watershed figures are attached as
Appendix D.
The project meets the requirements of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide Permit 12 and
Nationwide Permit General Conditions. The stream crossing was designed to be perpendicular.
All stream impacts to Laurel Creek will be temporary and, the existing stream channel substrate
will be used to backfill the installation trench. Riprap will not be used within the stream channel.
The work area will be dewatered and no work will occur in a live stream channel. Down stream
flows will be maintained. The wetland impact will be temporary and will not result in permanent
conversion of forested wetlands. Construction mats will be used when working in the wetland. All
disturbed areas will be returned to existing conditions following construction.
In addition to this permit application, Durham County has issued a Floodplain Development Permit
for the temporary floodplain impacts; the permit is attached as Appendix E.

IPaC U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical
habitat (collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's
(USFWS) jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced
below. The list may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but
that could potentially be directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area.
However, determining the likelihood and extent of effects a project may have on trust
resources typically requires gathering additional site -specific (e.g., vegetation/species
surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of proposed activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the
USFWS office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to
each section that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI
Wetlands) for additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that
section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis
of project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each
species. Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes
areas outside of the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in
that area (e.g., placing a dam upstream of a fish population even if that fish does not occur at
the dam site, may indirectly impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow
downstream). Because species can move, and site conditions can change, the species on this
list are not guaranteed to be found on or near the project area. To fully determine any
potential effects to species, additional site -specific and project -specific information is often
required. 4 T>
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the
Secretary information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be
present in the area of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted,
funded, or licensed by any Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list
which fulfills this requirement can only be obtained by requesting an official species list from
either the Regulatory Review section in IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field
office directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC
website and request an official species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed speciesl and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown
on this list. Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction.
1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also
shows species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for
more information. IPaC only shows species that are regulated by USFWS (see FAQ).

Probability of Presence Summary
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely
to be present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your
project activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and
understand the FAQ "Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before
using or attempting to interpret this report.
Probability of Presence ( )
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s)
your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-
week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey
effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One
can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also
high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in
the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events
for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted
Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in
week 12 is 0.25.
https://ipac.ecosphere.fws.gov/location/OKFFPTYFQNHB5J5L4NFAQAYJAU/resources 7/13

1 /25/23, 1:49 PM
IPaC: Explore Location resources
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of
presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum
probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of
presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence
at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of
presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2.
3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the
probability of presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds
across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your
project area.
Survey Effort (1) .00 .
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of
surveys performed for that species in the 1 Urn grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The
number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
4
No Data IlIllik Y;
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are
based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory
birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all
birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds
are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the
locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure.
To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of
Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity
you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified
location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC), and other
species that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge
Network (AKN).. The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science
datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid
cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because
they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a
particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development.

Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area.
It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially
present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially
occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by
the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey., banding, and
citizen science datasets.
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes
available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret
them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering 4
migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the and look at the range maps
provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each bird in your results. If a bird
on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your
project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds
elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? %�Aklo
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Core tion Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their
range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin
Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in
the continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either
because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in
offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or
longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in
particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of
rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and
minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and
groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data
Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to
you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal
maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird
Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.

If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating
the Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of
priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what
other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory
birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability
of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project
footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black
vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is
the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as
more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a
lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for
identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there,
and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look
for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to
avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn
more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement
to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources
page.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory
(NWI)
Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes. IIIIAk
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers District. �
Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to
update our NWI data set. We recommend you verify these results with a site visit to
determine the actual extent of wetlands on site.
This location overlaps the following wetlands:
FRESHWATER FORESTED/SHRUB WETLAN
PF01 A
A full description for each wetland code can be found at the National Wetlands Inventory
website
NOTE: This initial screening does not replace an on -site delineation to determine whether
wetlands occur. Additional information on the NWI data is provided below.
Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level
information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of
high altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A
margin of error is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular
site may result in revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image
analysts, the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work
conducted. Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any
mapping problems.

IPaC: Explore Location resources
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There
may be occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted
on the map and the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of
aerial imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or
submerged aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and
nearshore coastal waters. Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also
been excluded from the inventory. These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial
imagery.
Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe
wetlands in a different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or
products of this inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local
government or to establish the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies.
Persons intending to engage in activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should
seek the advice of appropriate Federal, state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory
programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may affect such activities.
