RE: PNG- ROSEBURG LUMBER
SAW-2023-01051
WELDON, HALIFAX COUNTY, NC
Mr. Scarbraugh:
Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc. (PNG) is proposing to construct 2,875 ft of 4-inch steel natural gas pipeline in
Halifax County, NC. A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) was submitted to your attention on June 14,
2023, by Mr. Joey Lawler with S&ME, Inc., which was followed by your concurrence by email on August 2, 2023. The
Pre -Construction Notification (ePCN) has been completed utilizing the on-line portal as required. As such, the
following is additional information supporting the submittal for permit coverage under Sections 404 and 401 of the
Clean Water Act:
Protect Description
Roseburg Lumber, LLC, has requested natural gas supply to operate their lumber facility at 290 Power Place in
Weldon, NC. The project requires 2,875 ft of 4-inch steel natural gas pipeline be installed within a new 50-ft-wide
cross country easement between a new tap on Line 427 in the vicinity and a new M&R facility on the Roseburg
Lumber facility that will be designed and constructed by Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG). Access to the project will be
along existing driveways and/or roads contiguous to the project corridor. A laydown yard within the bounds of the
existing project limits of disturbance will be utilized by the project.
Protect Purpose & Need
The purpose of the project is to construct 2,875 ft of new 4-inch steel natural gas pipeline and a new M&R facility in
Halifax County, NC. The need for the project is associated with the request for natural gas supply by Roseburg
Lumber, LLC, to operate their lumber facility at 290 Power Place.

Project Impacts
The Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) was submitted to your attention on June 14, 2023, by Mr. Joey
Lawler with S&ME, Inc. Approximately 0.35 acres of wetlands (WA, WC, WF, WG, amd WH) and 1,135 linear feet of
streams (S1, S3, S4, S5, and S6) are within the project corridor. The proposed project (northern route) will cross 2
wetlands (WA, WC) and 3 streams (S1, S3, S4). The following describes the impacts anticipated:
Wetlands
The 0.35 wetland acres within the project corridor are palustrine forested (PFO). The pipeline will be constructed
through 0.13 acres of the wetlands (WA, WC) utilizing open -cut methods. The open -cut trenching through the two
wetlands will permanently impact 0.13 acres due to tree removal within the trench corridor. Therefore, a total of
0.13 acres of forested wetlands will be permanently converted to herbaceous wetlands by the proposed project.
However, no net loss of wetlands is anticipated. Compensatory mitigation for the 0.13 acres of permanent
conversion will be obtained at a 1:1 ratio from the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS) as accepted by their office by letter of August 4, 2023 . The project is within the Roanoke
River Basin. There are no private wetland mitigation banks within the associated HUC8 03010107.
Streams
Of the 1,135 linear feet of streams within the project corridor, approximately 133 linear feet (921 ftz) will
experience temporary impacts by the pipeline construction process through open -cut trenching and/or temporary
crossing of streams S1, S3, and S4. No permanent impacts are anticipated for these open -cut areas; therefore, no
compensatory mitigation is warranted. Pre -construction conditions will be returned after the gas line has been
constructed.
We appreciate your review of the project. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact
me at [phone] or by email at [e-mail].
Cultural Resources
North Carolina State Historic Preservation office is currently reviewing impacts to Cultural Resources. S&ME inc.
has submitted additional information to the NCSHPO on 8/14/23 for their review. This review has been assigned
number ER23-1522.

This message originated outside of S&ME. Please report this as phishing if it implies it is from an S&ME
employee.
Good afternoon,
On May 17, 2023, we received information from S&ME, Inc. submitted on your behalf
requesting the Wilmington District, Regulatory Division to review and concur with the
boundaries of an aquatic resource delineation.

We have reviewed the information provided by you concerning the aquatic resources, and by
copy of this e-mail, are confirming that the aquatic resources delineation has been verified by
the Corps to be a sufficiently accurate and reliable representation of the location and extent of
aquatic resources within the identified review area. The location and extent of these aquatic
resources are shown on the delineation, labeled Figure 6 entitled, "Potential Waters of the
U.S. Exhibit)", dated June 20, 2023.
Regulatory Guidance Letter (RGL) 16-01
https://usace.contentdm.ocic.org/utils/getfile/collection/pl602lcol19/id/1256 provides
guidance for Jurisdictional Determinations (JD) and states "The Corps generally does not issue
a JD of any type where no JD has been requested". At this time, we are only verifying the
delineation. This delineation may be relied upon for use in the permit evaluation process,
including determining compensatory mitigation. "This verification does not address nor
include any consideration for geographic jurisdiction on aquatic resources and shall not be
interpreted as such. This delineation verification is not an Approved Jurisdictional
Determination (AJD) and is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program
Administrative Appeal Process (33 CFR Part 331). However, you may request an AJD, which
is an appealable action.
If you wish to receive a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD), or an Approved
Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) please respond accordingly, otherwise nothing further is
required, and we will not provide any additional documentation.
The delineation included herein has been conducted to identify the location and extent of the
aquatic resource boundaries and/or the jurisdictional status of aquatic resources for purposes
of the Clean Water Act for the particular site identified in this request. This delineation may
not be valid for the Wetland Conservation Provisions of the Food Security Act of 1985, as
amended. If you or your tenant are USDA program participants, or anticipate participation in
USDA programs, you should discuss the applicability of a certified wetland determination
with the local USDA service center, prior to starting work.

Jurisdictional Determination Request
F. JURISDICTIONAL DETERNIINATION (JD) TYPE (Select One)
❑✓ I am requesting that the Corps provide a preliminM JD for the property identified herein.
A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD) provides an indication that there may
be "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United States"on a property.
PJDs are sufficient as the basis for permit decisions. For the purposes of permitting, all
waters and wetlands on the property will be treated as if they are jurisdictional "waters of
the United States". PJDs cannot be appealed (33 C.F.R. 331.2); however, a PJD is
"preliminary" in the sense that an approved JD can be requested at any time. PJDs do
not expire.
❑ I am requesting that the Corps provide an approved JD for the property identified herein.
An Approved Jurisdictional Determination (AJD) is a determination that
jurisdictional "waters of the United States" or "navigable waters of the United
States" are either present or absent on a site. An approved JD identifies the limits of
waters on a site determined to be jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act and/or
Rivers and Harbors Act. Approved JDs are sufficient as the basis for permit
decisions. AJDs are appealable (33 C.F.R. 331.2). The results of the AJD will be
posted on the Corps website. A landowner, permit applicant, or other "affected
party" (33 C.F.R. 331.2) who receives an AJD may rely upon the AJD for five years
(subject to certain limited exceptions explained in Regulatory Guidance Letter 05-
02).
I am unclear as to which JD I would like to request and require additional information
to inform my decision.
G. ALL REQUESTS

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option
to request and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an
informed decision after having discussed the various types of JDs and their
characteristics and circumstances when they may be appropriate.
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 AJD for the
activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has
elected to seek a permit authorization based on a PJD, which does not make an
official determination of jurisdictional aquatic resources; (2) the applicant has the
option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit
authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could possibly result
in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) 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) 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) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject
permit authorization without requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance
of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered
individual permit) or undertaking any activity in reliance on any form of Corps permit
authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that all aquatic resources in the
review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as jurisdictional, and
waives 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 AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, 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. If, during an administrative appeal, it
becomes appropriate to make an official determination whether geographic
jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources in the review area, or to provide an official
delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in the review area, the Corps will
provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable. This PJD finds
that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be" navigable waters of
the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in the review
area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:

County: Halifax
The purpose of this letter is to notify you that the NCDEQ Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) is willing to
accept payment for compensatory mitigation for impacts associated with the above referenced project as
indicated in the table below. Please note that this decision does not assure that participation in the DMS in -
lieu fee mitigation program will be approved by the permit issuing agencies as mitigation for project impacts.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to contact permitting agencies to determine if payment to the DMS will
be approved. You must also comply with all other state, federal or local government permits, regulations or
authorizations associated with the proposed activity including G.S. § 143-214.11.
This acceptance is valid for six months from the date of this letter and is not transferable. If we have not
received a copy of the issued 404 Permit/401 Certification within this time frame, this acceptance will
expire. It is the applicant's responsibility to send copies of the permits to DMS. Once DMS receives a copy
of the permit(s) an invoice will be issued based on the required mitigation in that permit and payment must
be made prior to conducting the authorized work. The amount of the in -lieu fee to be paid by an applicant is
calculated based upon the Fee Schedule and policies listed on the DMS website.
Based on the information supplied by you in your request to use the DMS, the impacts for which you are
requesting compensatory mitigation credit are summarized in the following table. The amount of mitigation
required and assigned to DMS for this impact is determined by permitting agencies and may exceed the
impact amounts shown below.

BMP PLAN FOR MANAGEMENT OF HDDs

Best Management Plan for Management of Horizontal Directional Drilling Mud
NEW Best Management Plan (BMP) for Management of
Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Mud - North Carolina
➢ What Is HDD mud?
❖ HDD mud is utilized to
o Remove cuttings from a borehole being constructed to accommodate
installation of a pipeline
o Lubricate and cool the bit and drilling assembly
o Stabilize the hole through formation of a suitable mud cake on the borehole
wall
o Suspend drilled cuttings during static periods
o Transmit hydraulic energy to the bit in the case of using a mud motor or
other fluid powered drilling head assembly.
❖ Used HDD mud can consist of:
o Water, soil, debris, or rock cuttings generated while drilling
o Bentonite clay, water, soil, debris, or rock cuttings generated while drilling
o Any additives mixed with the drilling mud to make it more suitable for its
intended purpose in prevailing borehole conditions.
• Additional additives may or may not be introduced to the mud in
this application, depending on formation conditions and materials
encountered.
➢ Reclamation
❖ Most large projects use a system to reclaim and recycle the drilling fluid (aka "drilling
mud") by separating cuttings from the drilling fluid to maintain suitable fluid
properties. The drilling mud and cuttings will both be containerized once they
become "spent." The mud will contain significant volumes of fluid prior to dewatering
or mechanical stabilization performed before transferring the material offsite.
o The drilling fluid, once it is considered spent and no longer possessing
the properties necessary for drilling, is a solid waste, and the separated
cuttings will be sent to an appropriate waste disposal facility once
waste characterizations have been completed.
❖ Smaller projects, may or may not utilize a reclamation system. Without a
reclamation system, drilling mud is not separated from the cuttings;
accordingly, the entire mixture is stabilized, characterized, and sent to an
appropriate facility for disposal.
➢ Waste Determination (Applicable to all drilling mud mixtures)
❖ All waste streams, prior to the final disposition, must have a waste determination
performed on them in accordance with 40 CFR 262.11. This may be through
"Generator Knowledge" or it may require sampling and analysis.
o If "Generator Knowledge" is used, a note to file and any corresponding
documentation must be kept with the other shipment papers detailing why
the reliance on "Generator Knowledge" was justified and where the waste
was disposed.
• A Note to file or Memo to File is documentation to keep with the shipment
records that "Generator Knowledge" has been utilized to determine if the
waste is hazardous or non -hazardous. This note outlines the logic of how
"Generator Knowledge" was utilized. If sample analytics are utilized the
sample analytics must be kept with shipment records.
o For water only created mud or bentonite with no additives, generator
Page 1 of 4

Best Management Plan for Management of Horizontal Directional Drilling Mud
knowledge may be sufficient to make a waste determination.
o For Bentonite and additives, the material will need to be sampled and
analyzed to properly characterize the material in accordance with current
regulatory guidance. This is done by composite sampling and analysis of
TCLP metals, at a minimum. Other analyses may be required depending on
introduction of other additives and the suspected contamination, if any, of the
media being drilled through.
o If the HDD mud is determined to be a non -hazardous waste, it can be disposed at
any lined NC facility both permitted and willing to accept the waste stream based
on current regulatory guidance.
o If the HDD mud is determined to be hazardous waste, PCB waste, or
petroleum contaminated media, the HDD mud must be shipped to a Duke
Energy vendor permitted to receive the waste.
• Hazardous waste must be properly containerized and shipped
utilizing the EPA Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest.
• PCB and petroleum contaminated waste may be shipped
utilizing the EPA Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest; however,
the use of the EPA manifest is not required unless the shipment
is 50 ppm PCB or greater.
• EPA Waste Identification number will need to be obtained prior
to shipping the waste if the weight of the hazardous waste
generated over a month is equal to or exceeds 220 pounds.
• The 'Note to File' or the analytical data will be sufficient for
three years. After the three-year time frame, more sampling and
testing, or another waste determination by the generator must
be developed.
❖ The waste stream must be able to pass the "paint filter test" prior to disposal.
o The "paint filter test" entails placing a representative sample in a paint filter and
suspending it over a graduated cylinder. If in 5 minutes no liquid is seen dripping
into the cylinder and the container is dry, the waste is sufficiently dry to allow land
disposal. If there is liquid dripping in the container in five (5) minutes or the
container contains moisture, the waste stream must be dried, dewatered, pressed,
liquids absorbed, or solidified prior to disposal.
HDD muds without commercially manufactured additives but including the dirt and
rocks being removed, are considered "earthen materials" (i.e. drilling with only
water).
❖ For any HDD mud that the contractor claims do not have additives; the
contractor or person with knowledge must submit a signed document that the
HDD mud is without additives.
❖ Keep this signed statement with the shipment papers or with any other
documents regarding the generation and disposal of the mud from this
site.
❖ Verification, either audible or written, from the landfill that they will be able to
accept the HDD mud and what volume they can accept is necessary prior to
hauling the waste. This verification is needed since the landfill may not be able to
take the entire waste stream or may limit the amount of the waste stream to a
certain volume per day. Other landfills may be needed to augment the disposal of
the waste stream. The name of the landfill used needs to be recorded on the note
in the file for disposal of the waste. Load tickets and acceptance documents must
be obtained and copies of such will be forwarded to Duke Energy/Piedmont
Natural Gas.
Guidance for Specific Drilling Mud Mixtures
➢ Water only
❖ When utilizing water to construct a borehole in which to place lines or pipes,
Page 2 of 4

Best Management Plan for Management of Horizontal Directional Drilling Mud
The resulting mud retrieved from the borehole will contain entrained native soil and rock
cuttings.
• Mud will be assumed to be non -hazardous unless there is reason to believe
that area drilled through would have hazardous constituents.
• With landowner / homeowner approval this material may be left on site after
seeding and placing straw to stabilize material.
o This approval / waiver will need to be in writing with the home /
land owner
HDD mud runoff must be controlled. Water with a high volume of total
suspended solids (TSS) must not be allowed to enter storm drains, water
bodies, or Environmentally Sensitive Areas.
o The material can be placed in an appropriate pit for drying and
or solidification.
o The addition of inert material (such as wood pellets, sawdust or
other approved inert, absorbent material) to absorb the liquid
and solidify the mud is an acceptable practice.
If landowner / homeowner does not approve of leaving material, it will need to
be removed from the property. Once the material can pass the paint filter test
and depending on the waste determination, the material may be
o Used to backfill or
o Placed for disposal in an appropriate location.
NOTE: Land Clearing Inert Debris (LCID) landfills CANNOT be
utilized unless written consent is given by the NC DEQ solid
waste section.
If being utilized in a utility right-of-way
o material may be left on site after preparation, seeding, and
placing straw to stabilize material.
Material must be applied in the general vicinity of the drilling location. It should
not be hauled significantly or consolidated for a single project.
➢ Bentonite Clay and water
When utilizing Bentonite clay and water to construct a borehole in which to place lines or pipes,
NOTE: The brand Best Bentonite clay must not be used for this process. June 17, 2016,
the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered lead (Pb) in levels 7 times the TCLP
limits. Under certain acidic conditions the lead can become leachable.
(https://www.fda.gov/ICECl/EnforcementActions/Warnin.Letters/2016/ucm529433.htm)
o The resulting mud retrieved from the void will be an aqueous fluid containing bentonite
clay, native soil, and rock cuttings.
• Mud will be assumed to be non -hazardous unless there is reason to believe
that area drilled through would have hazardous constituents.
• Water runoff from the HDD mud must be controlled. Water containing a high
volume of total suspended solids (TSS) must not be allowed to enter storm
drains, bodies of water, or Environmentally Sensitive Areas.
o The material can be placed in an appropriate pit for drying and
or solidification.
o The addition of inert material (such as wood pellets, sawdust or
other approved inert, absorbent material) to absorb the liquid
and solidify the mud is an acceptable practice.
• Bentonite clay and soil mixtures may be spread at a depth of no greater than
2 inches in the utility right-of-way.
o If applicable, native subsoils and top soils must be applied
over the bentonite clay, and the area of bentonite clay and
mud must be seeded and covered with straw to stabilize
material.
o For large areas, erosion control measures may be needed
to minimize potential impacts.
Page 3 of 4

Best Management Plan for Management of Horizontal Directional Drilling Mud
If it is in a residential area, permission must first be obtained to leave the
mud in place.
o This approval / waiver will need to be in writing with the home / land
owner
o Area of bentonite clay and mud must be seeded and covered with
straw to stabilize material.
o If landowner / homeowner does not approve of leaving, material will
need to be removed from property. Once it can pass the paint filter
test and depending on the waste determination, the material may be
o Used as beneficial backfill in an approved location or
o Placed for disposal in appropriate location
➢ Bentonite clay, additives, and water
❖ When utilizing Bentonite clay, additives, and water to construct a borehole in which to place
lines or pipes,
o The resulting mud recovered from the hole will be bentonite clay, additives, and any
entrained native soils or rocks.
❖ When commercially manufactured additives are used in the process, the HDD
mud, including the soils and rocks being removed, creates an industrial waste
when considered spent and no longer displaying the properties necessary to
construct a high -quality borehole or when declared surplus and, therefore, a solid
waste. This waste stream must be disposed of properly. Disposal must be in a
facility permitted to receive the waste as characterized unless alternative
disposal means are obtained from the state.
• Disposal by land treatment/application farming is not approved.
Duke Energy shall retain and disclose documentation related to its HDD projects as required by law.

HDD CONTINGENCY PLAN (TEMPLATE)

This HDD Contingency Plan is a template. The contractor will use this plan as a baseline for the
development of a specific Roseburg Lumber HDD Contingency Plan.
HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
HDD is a common method used to install underground utilities through heavily developed areas,
roadways, waterways, steep slopes, and environmentally sensitive areas to minimize the
surface disturbance that traditional open -cut trenching methods typically require. HDD
construction generally limits disturbances along project corridors which may result in a smaller
environmental footprint.
HDD operations have the potential to release drilling fluids into the surface and subsurface
environments through nearby utilities, unconsolidated sediments, fractured bedrock and faulting
or other local structural features. The drilling fluid typically will flow into the surrounding rock and
sand and travel toward the ground surface. The drilling fluid, a bentonite slurry (other additives
may be included as well), is used as a lubricant during the drilling of the bore hole, enabling the
rock and soil cuttings from the drilling process to be carried back to a containment bay at the
ground surface at the drilling site. It also builds a borehole mud cake or lining which can act as a
seal to prevent migration of fluids either into or out of the borehole and enhance the stability and
integrity of the bore hole. Bentonite is a non -toxic, naturally occurring clay commonly used for
agricultural purposes such as decreasing water loss in ponds and soils. Other common
additives include:
Additives Functions
Polymers
Aids in maintaining borehole integrity; control
of fluid loss; management of fluid viscosity;
cuttings encapsulation; viscosifier, friction
reduction and flocculant
Clay Inhibitors / Surfactants
Reduces swelling and sticking tendencies
during drilling operations and down time;
torque reduction
Drilling Detergents
Reduces surface tension and sticking
tendency of clay cuttings; aids in prevention of
bit balling and mud rings; torque reduction
Pyrophosphates
Dispersant; aids in thinning and reduction of
flocculation in the drilling fluid; aids with bit
balling
Soda Ash
Reduces hardness of make-up water; aids the
yielding process
Note that there is no hydraulic fracturing of shale for oil or gas production associated with this
method of directional drilling on the site. The HDD bores should be designed to provide
sufficient depth below water crossings and/or wetlands to reduce the risk of drilling fluid
releasing into such features.
While drilling, fluid seepage away from the borehole is most likely to occur near the bore entry
and exit points where the drill head is shallow; although seepage can occur in any location
along an HDD. This Horizontal Direction Drilling Contingency Plan (Plan) establishes
operational procedures and responsibilities for the prevention, containment, reporting and
cleanup of fluid loss incidents associated with an HDD project. Project drawings and
specifications also provide details of the HDD portion of the project.
The contractor responsible for the work must adhere to this Plan during the HDD process.
Although HDD Contingency Plans are not routinely reviewed or commented upon by regulatory
Page 1 July 12, 2018

HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
agencies during project review and approval processes, such plans are often requested by
regulatory agencies when Inadvertent Releases (IRs) occur. Therefore, the Plan and IR reports
may come under regulatory review during regulatory visits, inspections or IR response actions.
The specific objectives of this plan are to:
1. Minimize the potential for a drilling fluid release associated with HDD activities;
2. Protect environmentally sensitive areas;
3. Provide for the timely detection of drilling fluid releases;
4. Ensure an organized, timely, and efficient response in the event of a release of
drilling fluid; and
5. Ensure appropriate notifications are made immediately to appropriate Duke Energy
project and environmental support staff. Duke Energy will be responsible for
notifications to appropriate regulatory agencies.
Pre -Construction Measures
Before any HDD commences, an environmental safety meeting will take place. This Plan will be
discussed, questions answered and any potential conflicts reconciled. The Site Supervisor shall
ensure a copy of this Plan is available (onsite) and accessible to all construction personnel. The
Site Supervisor shall ensure all workers are properly trained and familiar with the necessary
procedures for response to a drilling fluid release prior to commencement of drilling operations.
Other best -management measures are listed below:
1. Anticipated drilling fluid mixtures descriptions are to be provided during the project
review process, including all product Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) of commercial mud
mixes and additives. All such SDSs shall be maintained at the project site.
2. Appropriate HDD drilling fluid spill response items (See Appendix A) shall be kept
onsite and used if an IR of drilling fluid occurs.
3. Prior to construction, the work areas must be flagged and the environmental limits
defined (wetland boundaries, setbacks, etc.). Erosion and sediment controls will be
placed on downgradient sides of the drilling rig location and around the drilling fluid
containment bays as a preventative measure against drilling fluids leaving the drill rig
site. If the project has not necessitated the preparation of a formal Sediment &
Erosion Control Plan, Best Management Plan (BMP) details for appropriate controls
should be reviewed and considered from the Duke Energy Construction Stormwater
Planning Manual (April 2017; Document GDLP-ENV-EVS-00006). Additional details
regarding environmental sensitive areas and construction activities can be found in
this document.
Fluid Loss Response and Measures
The response of the field crew to a drilling fluid loss shall be immediate and in accordance with
procedures identified in this Plan. All appropriate emergency actions that do not pose additional
threats to sensitive resources will be taken, as follows:
1. Containment bays will be in place at both the drill entry and exit points to prevent
drilling fluid from leaving the drill rig site at the entry and exit points. Sufficient
freeboard (two (2) feet) shall be maintained in all containment bays. Silt fences,
Page 2 July 12, 2018

HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
wattles, or other appropriate measures shall be placed along the downgradient
boundaries of the drill rig site.
2. The viscosity, pressure and volume of drilling fluids will be closely observed by the
drilling contractor during HDD activities to watch for indications of fluid loss or
developing borehole conditions that could increase the likelihood of an Inadvertent
Release.
3. Drilling operations will be halted by the drill rig operators immediately upon detection
of a loss of circulation, a drop in drilling pressure or any other indicator of fluid loss.
The loss of drilling fluid to the surface is typically greatest at shallow locations,
typically near the entry and exit points of the HDD.
4. Characterization and documentation of any inadvertent release shall begin
immediately. The Site Supervisor and Site Environmental Inspector shall be notified
immediately. Once IR identification occurs, the Site Supervisor shall immediately
notify Duke Energy Environmental support staff. Photographs, details of the release,
location, volume released, receiving stream characteristics and other important
information should be collected and reported immediately to the appropriate Duke
Energy Environmental staff. Containment efforts in accordance with this Plan shall
commence immediately but clean-up of drilling fluid IRs must wait until appropriate
consultation and concurrence from Duke Energy Environmental support staff.
5. In the event of a loss of drilling fluid, the Site Supervisor and Site Environmental
Inspector shall conduct an evaluation of the situation and direct recommended
mitigation actions, based on the following guidelines of the severity of the fluid loss:
a. If the loss of drilling fluid is minor, easily contained, has not reached the
surface and is not threatening environmentally sensitive areas, drilling
operations may resume after use of an approved leak stopping compound,
redirection of the bore or alteration of drilling techniques as applicable based
on site geological conditions and equipment or operator capabilities.
b. If drilling fluid reaches the land surface, the area will be isolated with silt fence,
wattles or similar measures to contain drilling fluid.
i. A containment or relief bay may be installed on high ground to keep
drilling fluid from reaching environmentally sensitive areas and
removal will begin by vac -truck or hand tools.
ii. In areas that cannot be reached by a vac -truck for drilling fluid
removal, a tiered system of contained areas will relay drilling fluid to a
location accessible by a vac -truck and removed.
iii. If it is not possible to relay drilling fluid to a suitable location for
removal by a vac -truck, drilling contractor workers will use hand tools
and vacuums to remove the drilling fluid from contained areas.
iv. Any material coming into contact with drilling fluids shall be removed
to a depth where there are no visible signs of the spilled material,
contained and properly disposed of, as required by Duke Energy
policies. The drilling contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that
the drilling fluid material is either properly disposed of at an approved
Page 3 July 12, 2018

HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
disposal facility or properly recycled in an approved manner.
Contractor must provide Duke Energy with documented proof of
disposal.
c. If drilling fluid reaches the surface in surface waters or wetlands, the following
actions will be initiated.
i. For low volume, low flowing streams, a coffer dam (or equivalent) for
containment will be installed downstream.
ii. Photographs, details of the release, location, volume released,
receiving stream characteristics and other important information
should be collected and reported immediately to the appropriate Duke
Energy Environmental staff.
iii. For higher volume, larger flowing streams, a coffer dam (or
equivalent) may be installed both upstream and downstream.
Consideration should be given to use of bypass pumping to ensure no
flooding or potential loss of containment.
iv. Removal of drilling fluid released to high -ground will begin by
appropriate equipment or hand tools immediately. If the fluid loss is
widespread, the Site Supervisor may discuss the use of a vac -truck
with Duke Energy Environmental staff.
v. Due to potential adverse environmental impacts, no released material
located within streams or wetlands shall be removed without prior
discussion with Duke Energy Environmental support staff.
vi. Duke Energy Environmental support staff will be responsible for any
regulatory notifications.
Response Close-out Procedures
When the IR has been contained and cleaned up, response closeout activities will be conducted
at the direction of the Site Supervisor and Site Environmental Inspector and shall include the
following:
1. The recovered drilling fluid will either be recycled or hauled to an approved facility for
disposal. Contractor shall provide Duke Energy Environmental support staff with
documented proof of disposal. No recovered drilling fluids or materials will be
discharged into streams, wetlands, storm drains or any other environmentally sensitive
areas;
2. All spilled drilling fluid excavation and clean-up high ground sites will be returned to pre -
project contours using clean fill, appropriate seeding activities, as necessary. Clean up
to areas within wetlands, streams or other sensitive environmental areas will be on a site
specific basis in consultation with Duke Energy Environmental support staff and
regulatory agencies, if appropriate; and
3. All containment measures (wattles, straw bales, silt fences, etc.) will not be removed
until the site is properly stabilized and such removal is authorized by Duke Energy
Environmental support staff.

HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
In addition to the HDD IR Documentation Form (See Appendix B) the Site Supervisor and Site
Environmental Inspector shall record narrative details of drilling fluid losses or IRs in their daily
log. The narratives shall include any notes or details regarding containment, characterization,
cleanup or stabilization activities not otherwise captured from the HDD IR Documentation Form.
Construction Re -start
For small releases which do not reach surface waters, wetlands or other environmentally
sensitive areas, drilling may continue if the release is promptly contained and cleaned up, and at
least one member of the clean-up crew remains at the drilling fluid loss location throughout the
remainder of the drilling of the bore.
For all other releases which impact environmentally sensitive areas, construction activities will
not restart without prior approval from Duke Energy Environmental staff. IRs into
environmentally sensitive areas will require at least one member of the clean-up crew to remain
at the drilling fluid loss location throughout the remainder of the drilling of the bore as well as
having one member track with, or slightly behind, the drilling head to observe any signs of
potential releases.
Bore Abandonment
Abandonment of the bore will only be considered when all efforts to control the drilling fluid loss
within the existing HDD have failed or borehole conditions have deteriorated to the extent that
completing the bore is infeasible. The borehole will be completely abandoned and a new
location determined. Any borehole abandonment locations will be documented and shown on
any as -built documents.
The following steps will be implemented during abandonment of the borehole:
1. Determine the new location for the HDD crossing.
2. Insert casing, as necessary to remove the pilot string.
3. Pump a thick grout plug into the borehole to securely seal the abandoned borehole.
Communications During an HDD Project
Communications for routine aspects of an HDD should be between the HDD Contractor Site
Supervisor and Duke Energy/Piedmont Project Manager. During IRs, the Duke Energy
Environmental Support staff should be incorporated into such dialogs for guidance and
concurrence on IR response actions. The Duke Energy Environmental Field Support staff will
provide IR details to the Duke Energy Water Subject Matter Expert (SME) for consultation and
determinations regarding regulatory notifications and response activities. The Duke Energy
Water SME will consult with appropriate Duke Energy management representatives regarding
verbal and/or written regulatory notifications and guidance for any response actions. Design
consultant should also be integrated into the activities to benefit from experience or educational
opportunities to improve or enhance HDD design or construction aspects.

S&ME Project No. 23350022
Dear Mr. Sowell:
S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is pleased to present Energy, Land, & Infrastructure, PLLC (ELI) with this letter report
summarizing the results of the Phase I Summer Bat Habitat Assessment for the project referenced above.
The scope of services was performed in general accordance with a Change Order for Services associated
with revised S&ME Proposal No. 22350022, dated July 5, 2023. Original authorization for the project was
provided by execution of the ELI Subconsultant agreement dated March 13, 2023 by Louis Barrentine of
ELI.
Project Background
Project information was provided in January 10 and March 10, 2023 e-mail correspondence to Joey Lawler
of S&ME by Uri Sowell of ELI. Revised project information provided on July 13, 2023 included a Google
Earth KMZ file showing the revised route of the project area. Accordingly, S&ME understands that ELI is
assisting Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG) with services related to design/construction of a natural gas service
line from a proposed tap location on PNG Line 427 to a location within the Roseburg Lumber facility in
Roanoke Rapids, Halifax County, North Carolina. The approximate location of the linear project area is
depicted on Exhibit I - Site Location included within Appendix I.
Based on a series of April and June 2023 email communications among S&ME, ELI, and PNG, S&ME
prepared a June 14, 2023 proposal to perform a bat acoustic survey of the proposed route. However,
further review of the project by Duke Energy's bat specialist, James McRacken, indicated an acoustic
survey was not likely required to meet Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) consultation
requirements. During a June 28, 2023 conference call between S&ME project scientists and Mr. McRacken,
it was determined that a targeted assessment of potential roost trees within the proposed limits of
disturbance (LOD) containing suitable habitat should be conducted. ELI requested that S&ME conduct a
bat habitat assessment to determine if trees on site were suitable summer roosting habitat for the
northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionatis/NLEB) and tricolored bat (Perimyotis subf(avus/TCB).

Species Descriptions
Northern Long-eared Bat
NLEB is a medium-sized bat about 3 to 3.7 inches in length but with a wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. As its
name suggests, this bat is distinguished by its long ears, particularly as compared to other bats in its
genus, Myotis, which are actually bats noted for their small ears (Myotis means mouse -eared). White -nose
syndrome, a fungal disease known to affect bats, is currently the predominant threat to this bat.
Foraging occurs within forests, along forest edges, over forest clearings, and occasionally over ponds.
Hibernation occurs primarily in caves, mines, and tunnels, typically those with large passages and
entrances, relatively constant and cool temperatures, high humidity, and no air currents. Hibernators
frequently roost in crevices, drill holes, and similar sites where they may be overlooked during surveys but
roosting in the open is not uncommon. A lack of suitable hibernacula may prevent occupancy of areas
that otherwise have adequate habitat.
Most nursery colonies are in cavities or beneath loose bark in trees or snags in upland forests, with roost
entrances generally below or within the tree canopy. Reproductive females use a wide range of tree
species. Roosts of males and nonreproductive females include tree hollows as well as cooler locations,
including caves and mines.
Hibernation occurs from late summer/early fall to spring. In summer, an activity peak generally occurs one
to two hours after sunset, with a secondary peak seven to eight hours after sunset. Bat activity may
generally mirror the activity of nocturnal insects, which often exhibit a strong flight period beginning
before sunset, peaking near midnight, and waning throughout the early morning hours, and a second but
less intense flight period may occur before sunrise. Note that in coastal plain portions of the range, NLEB
populations are expected to be active year-round.
Tricolored Bat
The TCB is small, varying from 2.8 to 3.4 inches long with a wingspan of 8 to 10 inches. It is distinguished
by its unique tricolored fur which often appears yellowish to nearly orange. The species range stretches
from the eastern and central United States north to southern Canada, and south into Central America. This
species overwinters in caves and abandoned mine shafts but is known to frequently roost in road -
associated culverts in the southern United States where caves are scarce. The greatest extinction risk to
the TCB is white -nose syndrome, a deadly disease affecting cave dwelling bats. TCB populations have
experienced estimated declines in infected populations that are upwards of 90 percent.
During the spring, summer, and fall, collectively referred to as the non -hibernating seasons, TCBs primarily
roost among live and dead leaf clusters of live or recently dead deciduous hardwood trees. In the
southern and northern portions of the range, TCB will also roost in Spanish moss (Ti((andsia usneoides)
and Usnea trichodea lichen, respectively. In addition, TCB have been observed roosting during summer
among pine needles, eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), within artificial roosts like barns, beneath
porch roofs, bridges, concrete bunkers, and rarely within caves. Female TCB exhibit high site fidelity,

returning year after year to the same summer roosting locations, form maternity colonies, and switch
roost trees regularly. Males roost singly.
Riparian areas and roost habitat with a closed canopy has been shown to be preferred by TCB. The species
tends to avoid deep woods and open field habitat. Foraging is often done over water bodies such as rivers
or lakes where insect populations are typically highest.
TCB is currently Proposed Endangered for listing under the ESA. While this species is not currently
protected, it is expected to be listed as Endangered late 2023 or early 2024. (Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) Environmental Conservation Online System (ECOS). https:Hecos.fws.goq v/ecp1.)
Methods
On July 18, 2023, Project Scientist Andrew Hook with S&ME performed a Phase I Summer Bat Habitat
Assessment at the referenced site in accordance with the March 2023 USFWS Range -Wide Indiana Bat &
Northern Long -Eared Bat Survey Guidelines (The Guidelines).
S&ME conducted the habitat assessment by walking through the project area, noting potential roost
trees, and characterizing the overall habitat. Suitable roost trees are characterized by a diameter at breast
height (DBH) of three inches or greater that exhibit features such as exfoliating bark, crevices, or cracks.
S&ME also noted exposure to solar radiation and canopy cover that would facilitate bat accessibility.
Findings
The proposed project area is located north of U.S. Highway 158, extending cross-country off Ponderosa
Road and Aqueduct Road to the west near Power Place (Exhibit 1 — Site Location) and comprises
approximately 2.52 acres and 2,750 linear feet. A majority of the proposed pipeline route passes through a
wooded area, while the eastern portion of the route passes through an open, grassy area associated with
an RV campground. Land use in this area consists mainly of residential development (including the
campground), some commercial development, industrial and institutional development, and open fields.
A water treatment plant, the Roanoke River, and its floodplain are located to the north. The Roanoke
Canal Trail parallels a portion of the project area to the north, and a former manufacturing facility is
located to the south (Exhibit 2 — Aerial Imagery).
S&ME began the habitat assessment on the eastern portion of the project area and continued to the west.
The site cover consists of two habitat types (Exhibit 3 — Habitat Types): forested and open habitat.
Forested habitat (1.78 acres) is predominately mature mixed pine -hardwood. Species composition
includes loblolly pine (Pinus taeda), white oak (Quercus a(ba), red oak (Q. rubra), yellow poplar
(Liriodendron tu(ipifera), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyracif(ua), and shagbark hickory (Carya ovata). Most
trees within the project area are mature, with an average DBH greater than 12 inches. Canopy trees exhibit
full canopy closure. Mid- and understory growth are limited, resulting in a mostly open and sparsely -
vegetated forest floor. The open habitat (0.72 acre) within the project area is mostly grassed and primary
cover is tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea); several large individual red maples (Acer rubrum) are located
within the open habitat.

Roseburg Lumber South
Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 23350022
The forested habitat, as well as the individual trees within the open habitat, provide suitable roosting
habitat for NLEB and TCB. A considerable number of mature shagbark hickory and oak trees with a DBH
greater than three inches and exfoliating bark were identified within the project area. The individual red
maples within the open habitat were greater than 36-inch DBH and had exfoliating bark, cracks, crevices,
and cavities. Several large snags were identified, as well as multiple mature trees with cracks or crevices.
The hardwood and pine tree foliage within the project area provides substantial roosting habitat for the
TCB.
S&ME also made observations at a house and mobile home that were located within the project area. The
roof and underside of each structure are exposed to elements. No evidence of bat roosting (guano/urine)
could be observed from outside of the structures. The structures were not deemed suitable for entry.
Typical habitat photographs and those of representative roost trees are located in Appendix I, Photo
Index. Photograph locations and direction are shown on Exhibit 4. A USFWS Phase I Habitat
Assessment summarizing the results of the survey is also attached in Appendix II.
Conclusions and Regulatory Considerations
S&ME had previously conducted a project inquiry of an adjacent, alternate route using the NLEB
Determination Key (DKey) on the USFWS Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) tool. The DKey
generated a "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect" determination for NLEB. Following the July 18
habitat assessment, S&ME completed an updated NLEB DKey for the current route, which also generated
a "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect" determination. The USFWS Consistency Letter, dated July
24, 2023, is provided in Appendix II.
The project area contains suitable roosting habitat for both NLEB and TCB. However, since the USFWS
IPaC Dkey for NLEB produced a determination of "May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect," no further
summer and/or potential hibernacula surveys for NLEB are recommended. Per the USFWS Consistency
Letter, in order to complete ESA consultation, the Federal action agency (i.e., U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers) must review the NLEB DKey and finalize the determination to produce a concurrence letter,
thereby completing ESA consultation requirements.
TCB is not currently protected under the ESA; however, it is expected to be listed as Endangered in late
2023 or early 2024. In the event TCB is listed as a protected species prior to development, we recommend
revisiting this species to make a determination based upon updated guidance from the USFWS.

Project code: 2023-0105211
Project Name: Roseburg Lumber South
Federal Nexus: yes
Federal Action Agency (if applicable): Department of Energy
Subject: Technical assistance for'Roseburg Lumber South'
Dear Andrew Hook:
July 24, 2023
This letter records your determination using the Information for Planning and Consultation
(IPaC) system provided to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on July 24, 2023, for
'Roseburg Lumber South' (here forward, Project). This project has been assigned Project Code
2023-0105211 and all future correspondence should clearly reference this number. Please
carefully review this letter. Your Endangered Species Act (Act) requirements are not
complete.
Ensuring Accurate Determinations When Using IPaC
The Service developed the IPaC system and associated species' determination keys in accordance
with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) and based on a standing analysis. All information submitted by the Project proponent into
IPaC must accurately represent the full scope and details of the Project.
Failure to accurately represent or implement the Project as detailed in IPaC or the Northern
Long-eared Bat Rangewide Determination Key (Dkey), invalidates this letter. Answers to certain
questions in the DKey commit the project proponent to implementation of conservation
measures that must be followed for the ESA determination to remain valid.
Determination for the Northern Long -Eared Bat
Based upon your IPaC submission and a standing analysis, your project is not reasonably certain
to cause incidental take of the northern long-eared bat. Unless the Service advises you within 15
days of the date of this letter that your IPaC-assisted determination was incorrect, this letter
verifies that the Action is not likely to result in unauthorized take of the northern long-eared bat.

07/24/2023 IPaC Record Locator: 166-129124902
Other Species and Critical Habitat that May be Present in the Action Area
The IPaC-assisted determination for the northern long-eared bat does not apply to the following
ESA -protected species and/or critical habitat that also may occur in your Action area:
• Atlantic Pigtoe Fusconaia masoni Threatened
• Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Candidate
• Tricolored Bat Perimyotis sub flavus Proposed Endangered
You may coordinate with our Office to determine whether the Action may cause prohibited take
of the animal species listed above. Note that if a new species is listed that may be affected by the
identified action before it is complete, additional review is recommended to ensure compliance
with the Endangered Species Act.
Next Step
Consultation with the Service is necessary. The project has a federal nexus (e.g., Federal funds,
permit, etc.), but you are not the federal action agency or its designated (in writing) non-federal
representative. Therefore, the ESA consultation status is incomplete and no project activities
should occur until consultation between the Service and the Federal action agency (or designated
non-federal representative), is completed.
As the federal agency or designated non-federal representative deems appropriate, they should
submit their determination of effects to the Service by doing the following.
1. Log into IPaC using an agency email account and click on My Projects, click "Search by
record locator" to find this Project using 166-129124902. (Alternatively, the originator of
the project in IPaC can add the agency representative to the project by using the Add
Member button on the project home page.)
2. Review the answers to the Northern Long-eared Bat Range -wide Determination Key to
ensure that they are accurate.
3. Click on Review/Finalize to convert the `not likely to adversely affect' consistency letter to
a concurrence letter. Download the concurrence letter for your files if needed.
If no changes occur with the Project or there are no updates on listed species, no further
consultation/coordination for this project is required for the northern long-eared bat. However,
the Service recommends that project proponents re-evaluate the Project in IPaC if: 1) the scope,
timing, duration, or location of the Project changes (includes any project changes or
amendments); 2) new information reveals the Project may impact (positively or negatively)
federally listed species or designated critical habitat, or 3) a new species is listed, or critical
habitat designated. If any of the above conditions occurs, additional coordination with the
Service should take place before project implements any changes which are final or commits
additional resources.

DETERMINATION KEY RESULT
Based on the answers provided, the proposed Action is consistent with a determination of "may
affect, but not likely to adversely affect" for the Endangered northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis).
QUALIFICATION INTERVIEW
1. Does the proposed project include, or is it reasonably certain to cause, intentional take of
the northern long-eared bat or any other listed species?
Note: Intentional take is defined as take that is the intended result of a project. Intentional take could refer to
research, direct species management, surveys, and/or studies that include intentional handling/encountering,
harassment, collection, or capturing of any individual of a federally listed threatened, endangered or proposed
species?
No
2. Do you have post -white nose syndrome occurrence data that indicates that northern long-
eared bats (NLEB) are likely to be present in the action area?
Bat occurrence data may include identification of NLEBs in hibernacula, capture of
NLEBs, tracking of NLEBs to roost trees, or confirmed acoustic detections. With this
question, we are looking for data that, for some reason, may have not yet been made
available to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

3. Does any component of the action involve construction or operation of wind turbines?
Note: For federal actions, answer `yes' if the construction or operation of wind power facilities is either (1) part
of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for a federal agency action (federal permit, funding, etc.).
No
4. Is the proposed action authorized, permitted, licensed, funded, or being carried out by a
Federal agency in whole or in part?
Yes
Is the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA),
or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding or authorizing the proposed action, in
whole or in part?
No

6. Are you an employee of the federal action agency or have you been officially designated in
writing by the agency as its designated non-federal representative for the purposes of
Endangered Species Act Section 7 informal consultation per 50 CFR § 402.08?
Note: This key may be used for federal actions and for non-federal actions to facilitate section 7 consultation and
to help determine whether an incidental take permit may be needed, respectively. This question is for information
purposes only.
No
7. Is the lead federal action agency the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)? Is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) funding or authorizing the proposed action,
in whole or in part?
No
8. Is the lead federal action agency the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)?
No
9. Have you determined that your proposed action will have no effect on the northern long-
eared bat? Remember to consider the effects of any activities that would not occur but for
the proposed action.
If you think that the northern long-eared bat may be affected by your project or if you
would like assistance in deciding, answer "No" below and continue through the key. If you
have determined that the northern long-eared bat does not occur in your project's action
area and/or that your project will have no effects whatsoever on the species despite the
potential for it to occur in the action area, you may make a "no effect" determination for
the northern long-eared bat.
Note: Federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representatives) must consult with USFWS on federal
agency actions that may affect listed species [50 CFR 402.14(a)]. Consultation is not required for actions that will
not affect listed species or critical habitat. Therefore, this determination key will not provide a consistency or
verification letter for actions that will not affect listed species. If you believe that the northern long-eared bat may
be affected by your project or if you would like assistance in deciding, please answer "No" and continue through
the key. Remember that this key addresses only effects to the northern long-eared bat. Consultation with USFWS
would be required if your action may affect another listed species or critical habitat. The definition of Effects of

Reference: Results of Jurisdictional Delineation and Protected Species Assessment
Alternate Roseburg Lumber South Route
Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 23350022
Dear Mr. Sowell,
S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is pleased to present Energy, Land, & Infrastructure, PLLC (ELI) with the results of the
jurisdictional delineation and limited protected species assessment for an alternate route at the project
referenced above. The original scope of services was performed in general accordance with S&ME
Proposal No. 22350022 revised and dated March 10, 2023. Authorization to proceed with these additional
services was provided by Uri Sowell of ELI on May 30, 2023 in accordance with Task 2 of the original
proposal, and subsequently formalized in S&ME Change -Order 01 dated June 07, 2023.
Project Background
Initial project information was provided in January 10 and March 10, 2023 e-mail correspondence to Joey
Lawler of S&ME by Uri Sowell of ELI. S&ME understands that ELI is assisting Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG)
with services related to design/construction of a natural gas service line from a proposed tap location on
PNG Line 427 to a location within the Roseburg Lumber facility in Roanoke Rapids, Halifax County, North
Carolina. S&ME performed a jurisdictional delineation and limited protected species survey within the
original project route. Results of those assessments were presented to Eli in a March 27, 2023 report. ELI
subsequently requested that S&ME prepare and submit a Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional
Determination (Pre -JD) to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Request for Pre -JD was
submitted on May 17, 2023, and a site visit with the USACE to verify the delineation scheduled for May 31,
2023. On May 30, 2023, ELI requested that S&ME expanded the review area to include an alternate route.
The approximate location of the alternate route is depicted on the Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1),
appropriate portions of the Weldon, North Carolina U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Exhibit
(Figure 2), the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soils Exhibit (Figure 3), the National
Wetland Inventory (NWI) Exhibit (Figure 4), a LiDAR Exhibit (Figure 5), and an Aerial Orthoimagery Exhibit
(Figure 6).
Please refer to the original proposal and report for the scope of services associated with the jurisdictional
delineation and limited protected species that was performed for both the original and alternate route
review areas, as well as a summary of the findings of the original route assessment.

Results Jurisdictional Delineation and Protected Species Assessment
Alternate Route - Roseburg Lumber South
Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 23350022
Findings
The alternate route is located north of U.S. Highway 158, extending cross-country off Ponderosa Road and
Aqueduct Road running to the west towards Power Place. The east and west ends of the alternate route
tie into the original route at Aqueduct Road and the plant property respectively. The segment of the
alternate route that required additional fieldwork crosses the Roanoke Canal Trail then parallels the trail
for approximately 1200 liner feet before crossing back over the trail and tying back into the original route.
A majority of the alternate route passes through woodland or maintained areas adjacent to the
neighboring wastewater treatment plant. Photographs of existing conditions within the project area are
included in Appendix I.
The appropriate USGS Topographic Exhibit (Figure 2) depicts an unnamed tributary to Roanoke River that
intersects the alternate route. Other features, including Chockoyotte Creek and two ponds, are depicted in
the vicinity of the project area. The USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) for flowlines and
waterbodies also depicts the features referenced above. Additional flowlines and waterbodies are
depicted in the vicinity of the project area, which is consistent with the USGS topographic mapping.
The USFWS National Wetland Inventory (NWI) dataset identifies a riverine feature that crosses the
alternate route, consistent with the USGS topographic mapping, as well as freshwater pond wetlands to
the south. Review of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain and floodway
datasets indicates that the project area is not located within a FEMA floodway but crosses the 500-year
floodplain extending from Roanoke River and Chockoyotte Creek. A FEMA floodway and 100-year
floodplain is present along Chockoyotte Creek to the east of the project area.
The predominant soil type mapped within the project area is depicted on Figure 3 and includes
Udorthents, loamy (Ud), Goldsboro fine sandy loam, 0-2 percent slopes GoA) and Gritney fine sandy loam,
6-10 percent slopes (GtC). These soil types are not considered hydric but may contain hydric inclusions.
Review of the NWI (Figure 4) and LiDAR (Figure 5) exhibits indicate the presence of wetlands, streams,
and waterbodies within and in the immediate vicinity of the project area.
Jurisdictional Delineation
The jurisdictional delineation of the alternate route was conducted by S&ME Natural Resources
Professional Joey Lawler (PWS) on May 31, 2023. Three wetland features and five streams were identified
within the project area. Some of these features are extensions of those previously identified within the
original route. The jurisdictional features within the alternate route are summarized in Table 1 below. The
approximate locations of these jurisdictional features are depicted on Figure 6 and can be provided and
have been provided as shapefiles to ELI. Note that although the jurisdictional boundaries were located by
S&ME using a GPS unit capable of sub -meter accuracy, S&ME recommends that at a minimum, the on -
site streams be surveyed by ELI to confirm the accuracy of the jurisdictional limits as depicted.

approval. Copies of representative wetland and stream data forms are included in Appendix II.
Federally Protected Species
S&ME conducted a revised NC Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database review of the alternate route.
The revised review findings were similar to that of the original route, listing two records were for federally
protected species within one -mile of the project area: one for the threatened Atlantic pigtoe and one for
the endangered Atlantic sturgeon, which spawn in the Roanoke River in September and October, but was
not included on the IPaC report. The other 19 species do not hold a federal protection status. Federally
protected species with potential to occur in the vicinity listed in the updated US Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) report are summarized in Table 2 below.

S&ME Project No. 23350022
The IPaC reports for the alternate route did not identify critical habitats within the project area. S&ME
personnel conducted a pedestrian field review of the project area to locate potential habitat or the
presence of the these protected terrestrial species that were identified in the IPaC report.
Wooded portions of the project area consist of suitable foraging habitat and summer roosting habitat for
northern long-eared bat (NLEB) and tri-colored bat. Use of the FWS IPaC Determination Key indicated
that the project may affect but is not likely to adversely affect NLEB. Accordingly, in the event that the
project will require federal permitting completion of coordination with the USFWS by the USACE will be
required.
The project area does not contain suitable habitat for the remaining protected species listed in Table 2.
While S1 may have at one point supported potentially -suitable mussel habitat, the stream has become
degraded and an upstream beaver dam has inhibited flow necessary to support Atlantic pigtoe.
Copies of the NCNHP and USFWS IPaC report are included in Appendix III.
Regulatory Considerations
Please refer to the original S&ME report for a summary of Section 404/401 permitting requirements in the
event that impacts to jurisdictional features is required.
Closing
S&ME appreciates the opportunity to provide you with natural resources services for this project. Please
contact us if you have any questions or if additional information is required.

RE: ELI Roseburg Lumber South Revised Route - Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina; 23350022
Dear Rebeckah S Sims:
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide
information about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
Based on the project area mapped with your request, a query of the NCNHP database indicates that
there are no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, and/or
conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. Please note that although there
may be no documentation of natural heritage elements within the project boundary, it does not
imply or confirm their absence; the area may not have been surveyed. The results of this query
should not be substituted for field surveys where suitable habitat exists. In the event that rare
species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our
records.
The attached `Potential Occurrences' table summarizes rare species and natural communities that
have been documented within a one -mile radius of the property boundary. The proximity of these
records suggests that these natural heritage elements may potentially be present in the project area
if suitable habitat exists. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed areas within a one -mile
radius of the project area, if any, are also included in this report.
If a Federally -listed species is found within the project area or is indicated within a one -mile radius of
the project area, the NCNHP recommends contacting the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) for
guidance. Contact information for USFWS offices in North Carolina is found here:
httr)s://www.fws.gov/offices/Directory/ListOffices.cfm?statecode=37.
Please note that natural heritage element data are maintained for the purposes of conservation
planning, project review, and scientific research, and are not intended for use as the primary criteria
for regulatory decisions. Information provided by the NCNHP database may not be published
without prior written notification to the NCNHP, and the NCNHP must be credited as an information
source in these publications. Maps of NCNHP data may not be redistributed without permission.
The NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a
Dedicated Nature Preserve, Registered Heritage Area, Land and Water Fund easement, or Federally -
listed species are documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance,
please contact Rodney A. Butler at rod ney.butler�ncdcr.gov or 919-707-8603.
Sincerely,

In Reply Refer To: June 08, 2023
Project Code: 2023-0091082
Project Name: ELI Roseburg Lumber South Revised Route - Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina
Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as
well as proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your
proposed project and/or may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the
requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the
Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). If your project area
contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species on this species list, the proposed
action has the potential to adversely affect those species. If suitable habitat is present, surveys
should be conducted to determine the species' presence or absence within the project area. The
use of this species list and/or North Carolina Natural Heritage program data should not be
substituted for actual field surveys.
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the
ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the
Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to
utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered

06/08/2023
species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or
designated critical habitat.
A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having
similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the
human environment as defined in the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)
(c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological
evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may
affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended
contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12.
If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that
listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the
agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service
recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed
within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7
consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered
Species Consultation Handbook" at:
http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF
Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species
under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to
protect native birds from project -related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional,
resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more
information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php.
The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally
killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to
comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within
applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan
(when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid
or minimize the production of project -related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and
their resources to the project -related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and
recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to-
birds.php.
In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies
to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities
that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures
that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both
migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of
Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/
executive-orders/e0-13186.php.

06/08/2023
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Code in the header of
this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project that you submit
to our office.

The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the
USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your
project location. To learn more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this
list is generated, see the FAQ below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location,
nor a guarantee that every bird on this list will be found in your project area. To see exact
locations of where birders and the general public have sighted birds in and around your project
area, visit the E-bird data mapping tool (Tip: enter your location, desired date range and a species
on your list). For projects that occur off the Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing
the relative occurrence and abundance of bird species on your list are available. Links to
additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and other important information about your
migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and use your migratory bird report, can be
found below.

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 (■)

06/08/2023
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:
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.
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.
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)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
No Data (—)
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.

MIGRATORY BIRDS FAQ
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
(BCQ 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, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool 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

06/08/2023
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?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. 'BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation 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.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use
throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this
information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study
and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring.
What if I have eagles on my list?
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

06/08/2023
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.

Re: Install 3,000-foot pipeline from Line 427 to Roseburg Lumber South, Roanoke Rapids, Halifax
County, ER 23-1522
Dear Ms. Nagle:
Thank you for your email of June 29, 2023, regarding the above -referenced undertaking. We have reviewed
the submittal and offer the following comments.
We are unable to accurately assess impacts to the National Register -Listed Roanoke Canal (HX0009) and
to the Study -Listed Paul Garrett House (HX0345). Please provide construction plans and maps detailing the
project, including staging and operating areas, and easements (temporary and/or permanent), as well photos
of the project area, HX0009 and HX0345, and the locations where horizonal directional drilling (HDD) and
open -cut excavation will occur. An example of the preferred level of documentation can be found online at
https://www.hpo.nc.gov/record-structures-example-nc-shpo-pdf Please submit the documentation as
shown in the example (.pdf) and also provide the individual digital photo files (.jpg) for filing. If necessary,
we can provide a drop folder for the files if their size is too large to email.
Based on our knowledge of the area, it is unlikely that any archaeological resources that may be eligible for
inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places will be affected by the project. We, therefore,
recommend that no archaeological investigation be conducted in connection with this project.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36
CFR Part 800.

Roseburg Lumber South Project
Halifax County, North Carolina
S&ME Project No. 23350022
Dear Ms. Gledhill -Earley:
S&ME, Inc. (S&ME), on behalf of Energy, Land & Infrastructure LLC, is initiating consultation regarding a proposed
approximately 3000-ft pipeline project. The project area is a Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG) service line from a
proposed tap location on PNG Line 427 to a location within the Roseburg Lumber facility in Roanoke Rapids,
Halifax County, North Carolina (Figures 1 and 2).
It is anticipated that the project will require a United State Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit and in
support of that effort, this letter serves as initial consultation to provide written comments regarding the interests
of your agency in this project.
In terms of aboveground resources, the proposed alignment is immediately south of Study Listed Resource
HX0345, Paul Garrett House, portions of the alignment are within the boundary of the NRHP-listed Roanoke Canal
(HX0009), and the proposed alignment will cross the NRHP-listed Roanoke Canal twice, once utilizing horizontal
directional drill (HDD) technology and once using open -cut methods. The surveyed in a National Register Historic
District Chockoyette Aqueduct (Z-2303CR) is roughly 600 feet northeast of the project corridor. Depending on
how the pipeline will be constructed in these areas, the project may have an effect on these resources.
Archaeological information was not reviewed prior to submitting this scoping letter.
Thank you for your assistance with this project. If we can provide additional information, please do not hesitate to
contact Kimberly Nagle at [phone] or [e-mail].
Sincerely,
S&ME, Inc.
