Dear Mr. Brown and Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of our client, Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG), S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) hereby submits this application
for impacts to Waters of the U.S. in accordance with Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 12 and the
corresponding North Carolina Water Quality Certification (WQC) No. 3884. The proposed project will
involve replacement of approximately two miles of natural gas pipeline with a new line that is compliant
with current federally -mandated requirements.
This PCN is being provided to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for approval, and complies with
all applicable conditions of NWP No. 12. Written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (NCDWR) is also required in part because the proposed project is located within the Neuse
River basin and involves impacts to riparian buffers.
In support of this application, please find enclosed the following:

PNG Line 6 Class Location Replacement
❖ GENERAL PROJECT INFORMATION
PNG is planning to replace an approximately 2 -mile segment of one of their existing, 8 -inch dimeter
natural gas transmission pipelines. PNG has identified this portion of their pipeline as a High
Consequence Area (HCA) with inadequate records to support operating at the normal working pressure.
In order to comply with federal regulations as defined by the Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration and return the gas line to the desired pressure, PNG must replace this section of pipeline
with a new pipe of the same diameter.
The general work area within which the gasline project will occur is located east of N.C. Highway 58, with
its northern terminus at 35.616250° N, -77.818238° W, and the southern terminus at 35.594349° N, -
77.812420° W (Figure 1). A large portion of the route parallels an existing PNG easement that contains
both Line 6 and a second, 12 -inch diameter gasline (Line 254). A portion of the project corridor deviates
from the existing easement in order to route around an existing residential neighborhood. Land use in
the vicinity of the project area consists primarily of agricultural land, undeveloped woodland and
residential development.
The project area consists of PNG's existing gasline easement and abutting areas that consist of a mixture
of woodland, agricultural field and a residential area. The gasline easement is regularly -maintained
through mowing, and is vegetated with a mixture of invasive volunteer herbaceous cover and small
shrubs/saplings. Overstory vegetation within forested portions of the project area site includes various
water oak (Quercus nigra), white oak (Q. alba), red maple (Acer rubrum), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera),
and sourwood (Oxydendrum arboretum). Mid -story species included horse sugar (Simplocos tinctoria) and
American holly (Ilex opoca). Portions of the easement pass through fields cultivated with cotton and
soybeans.
Review of the Stantonsburg, NC USGS Topographic Maps (Figure 2) indicated the presence of one
unnamed tributary draining to Contentnea Creek near the southern end of the route, and a second
unnamed tributary draining to Toisnot Swamp near the northern end. The predominant soil types
mapped within the project area (Figure 3) include Aycock very fine sandy loam (Typic Paleudults), Norfolk
loamy sand (Typic Kandiudults), Grantham very fine sandy loam (Typic Paleaquults), Wagram loamy sand
(Arenic Kandiudults) and Goldsboro loamy sand (Aquic Paleudults). Soils classified as hydric occupy a
smaller percentage of the route, and include Rains loamy sand (Typic Paleaquults), Grantham very fine
sandy loam (Typic Paleaquults) and Roanoke silt loam (Typic Endoaquults).
❖ DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED WORK
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries,
and other associated workspaces, etc. The new 8 -inch pipe will be installed in a new 30 -foot wide
easement adjacent to the existing easement, and appropriately offset from the existing 12 -inch gasline
that will remain. The existing segment of 8 -inch pipeline will be removed in high ground areas, or retired
in place at wetland locations. Up to an additional 25 feet of temporary workspace (TWS) adjacent to the
existing easement will be required to safely install the new pipe. In wetland areas, efforts will be made to
remove surface vegetation in a manner that minimizes disturbance of the substrate and prevents
exposure of soil. If necessary, temporary equipment crossings will be installed along one side of the
easement to facilitate equipment passage, cross over streams, and prevent excessive rutting and ground
disturbance in the wetlands. Appropriate sediment and erosion control (S&EC) measures will be installed
as clearing proceeds to prevent sedimentation of jurisdictional features.
S&ME, Inc.

Pre -Construction Notification: NWP No. 12/WQC No. 3884 Page 3
PNG Line 6 Class Location Replacement
No grubbing or below -ground vegetation removal will occur within wetlands or along stream banks
outside of the construction corridor. Where the pipe will be installed by conventional means (e.g. "open -
trench" or "isolation"), grubbing will be limited, to the extent practicable, to the trench line. Select upland
portions of the easement may require rough grading to facilitate safe passage of equipment, and to
prepare a suitably -level work surface. Within wetland areas where extensive rutting or soil disturbance
may occur, timber mats are planned for use to provide work and travel space for equipment.
Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary S&EC measures, the trench will be
excavated along the "non -working" side of the easement. Subsurface disturbance will only be conducted
within the trench line at wetlands and stream crossings. Stump removal or light grading may occur on the
working side of the easement if required for safety reasons. The work will be performed from the timber
mats placed along the working side of the easement. In certain areas, including wetlands and fields
supporting crops, efforts will be made to segregate topsoil from the subsoil. If necessary, trench breakers
(temporary barriers generally constructed of sand bags or similarly suitable material) will be installed
within the trench to slow the flow of subsurface water.
In general, 40 -80 -foot lengths of the 8 -inch pipe will be trucked to the site from temporary storage yards,
strung along the easement and placed on skids (wooden pedestals). Specialized machines will be used tc
bend individual segments of pipe to fit the contours of the trench where necessary. The pipe segments
will be welded together, x-rayed, the structural integrity and surface coating inspected, and then lowered
into the trench. Segments of the trench may require dewatering or "padding" to prevent large rocks or
other debris from coming in contact with the pipe. Permanent trench breakers will then be installed
where necessary and the trench backfilled. In areas where segregation of the subsoil and topsoil is
required, the topsoil will be replaced last. Affected areas will then be "cleaned up" by rough -grading and
temporary seeding (if necessary), followed by final grading, permanent seeding and mulching to restore
the easement as closely as possible to pre -disturbance contours and conditions.
All work within wetlands and streams will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permits. Best
Management Practices (BMPs) will be employed at all stream and wetland crossings to help prevent
siltation or inadvertent discharges to a Waters of the U.S.
❖ JURISDICTIONAL AREAS
On October 1, 2015, S&ME personnel (Walter Cole, Joey Lawler and Justin Ahn) conducted a pedestrian
review of the proposed project area to delineate jurisdictional surface waters located therein. S&ME
followed the procedures set forth in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual and the Eastern
Mountains and Piedmont Region Supplemental Guidance. Field conditions were documented using
USACE Routine Wetland Determination Data Forms, as appropriate. The field review also included
identification of tributaries (streams or jurisdictional ditches) within the project area. Drainage features
identified during the field review were assessed to determine the jurisdictional status of the tributary.
Drainage features were classified as either non jurisdictional or jurisdictional. S&ME used the NCDWR
Stream Classification Form to document characteristics of identified drainage features on the day of the
assessment.
Streams and Wetlands
Multiple jurisdictional streams (SF1— SF6) were identified during the site visit. In addition, three wetland
areas (WA - WC) were also observed (Figures 5A-5113). WB and WC are actually two portions of the same
S&ME, Inc.

Pre -Construction Notification: NWP No. 12/WQC No. 3884
PNG Line 6 Class Location Replacement

wetland, but are segregated by an existing railroad embankment. Wetlands located within the existing
easement are vegetated with herbaceous species and are routinely mowed. Portions of the wetlands
outside of the existing easement are forested. Photographs of the subject features are included in
Appendix II, and information related to our request for a preliminary jurisdictional determination is
included in Appendix III.
The proposed project may temporarily affect approximately up to 290 If of tributary waters (S1, SF2 and
SF6) and 1.32 acres of wetlands. Of these wetland impacts, 0.32 acre of permanent conversion (forested
wetlands to herbaceous wetlands) will occur. Project -wide stream and wetland impacts are detailed in the
respective tables in Appendix IV and drawings in Appendix V. The project will not result in permanent
stream impacts, or a loss of Waters of the U.S. Following construction, the temporarily affected
jurisdictional area will be returned to their pre -construction grade and contour, seeded and stabilized. No
permanent fill placement or aboveground station construction is required.
Riparian Buffers
Of the delineated streams, SF1 and SF5 are subject to Neuse River riparian buffer rules administered by
NCDWR. The riparian buffer extends 50 feet from the top of bank, and consists of two zones: Zone 1
extends 30 feet landward of the top -of -bank, and Zone 2 extends 20 feet landward from the outside edge
of Zone 1. To determine the project's applicability to the buffer rules, S&ME reviewed the project corridor
with NCDWR (James Graham) on November 10, 2015. NCDWR is in the process of providing a letter to
confirm the findings as they are identified in this PCN. All of the proposed pipeline crossings are
considered "allowable with mitigation."
The project is proposed to temporarily impact 8,851 sf of Zone 1 buffer and 6,881 sf of Zone 2 buffer.
Although a majority of the impacts are temporary, 2,613 sf of currently wooded Zone 1 buffer and 829 sf
of Zone 2 buffer will be permanently -maintained as grassed easement. Project -wide riparian buffer
impacts are detailed in the appropriate table in Appendix IV and drawings in Appendix V.
❖ PROTECTED SPECIES
To comply with applicable sections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543),
S&ME first reviewed the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) database to identify
occurrences of federally protected species that may be documented in the vicinity of the project area.
The NCNHP database did not identify any records of significant natural communities or habitat areas,
gamelands, federal or state property or managed conservation lands within one mile of the project area.
Federally protected species listed for Wilson County are summarized in Table 2:

Pre -Construction Notification: NWP No. 12/WQC No. 3884 Page 5
PNG Line 6 Class Location Replacement
Review of the aforementioned databases did not identify records of these protected species within a one -
mile radius of the project site. Suitable habitat for the only current species, dwarf wedgemussel, was not
observed within the project corridor.
A copy of this PCN will also be provided to the to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) in Raleigh, N.C,
in order to facilitate compliance with Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531-1543), with a request that they provide comment directly to your office.
❖ HISTORIC AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The closest sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places are: 1) the W.H. Applewhite House (NPS
No. 86000696), located approximately 0.5 -mile north of the project route, and; 2) the Ward-Applewhite
Thompson House (NPS No. 86000695) located approximately 0.5 -mile east of the project route.
Accordingly, these sites should not be affected by the proposed project. A copy of this PCN will be
provided to N.C. State Historic Preservation Office, with a request that they provide comment directly to
your office.
❖ AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
To minimize impacts to Waters of the U.S., PNG intends to parallel their existing utility easement for a
majority of the project route. The exception is one area that will be routed around an existing residential
development, where no new jurisdictional impacts will occur. Additionally, construction equipment
operating near the stream and wetland will be limited to that necessary for excavation, pipe installation
and restoration activities. Vegetation near the stream will be cut at ground level, leaving existing root
systems in place to promote re -growth.
Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices outlined in the most recent version of the "North
Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" and approved by the local
governing authority shall be in compliance with specifications governing the proper design, installation,
operation and maintenance of such BMPs to comply with the appropriate turbidity water quality standard.
As proposed, the project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 12 and WQC No. 3884.
Following the repair work, the affected area will be restored to its original grade and contour. As
proposed, the project will not result in permanent changes to the ground surface elevation(s) in the area
or affect dimension, pattern or profile of the affected stream. Affected areas are proposed to be restored
in accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (Appendix VI) following completion of the work.
❖ MITIGATION
The project is proposed to result in conversion of 0.32 acre of forested wetlands to herbaceous wetlands.
PNG proposes to satisfy the mitigation requirement of the USACE by purchasing the necessary credit
within the Neuse River Basin from the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (NCDMS), as private
mitigation banks in this watershed do not have wetland credit. With respect to riparian buffer mitigation,
PNG is required to purchase 1,536 credits (see Riparian Buffer Impact Table in Appendix IV). They plan to
purchase the necessary credit from the EBX Neuse Riparian Buffer & Nutrient Umbrella Bank,
administered by Resource Environmental Solutions, LLC (RES). Acceptance letters from NCDMS and RES
are included in Appendix VI.

Mitigation for wetland conversion impacts is not required by NCDWR. Similarly, because the project as
proposed will not result in permanent stream impacts, stream mitigation is not required. Mitigation has
also been provided by avoidance and minimization procedures implemented during the design phase of
the proposed project. Impacts will be minimized by: 1) paralleling an existing, maintained ROW where
possible; 2) use of trenchless pipe installation; and 3) reducing the width of the permanent maintenance
corridor to 30 feet.
As proposed, the project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 12 and WQC No. 3884. The
width of the permanently -maintained ROW will not exceed 30 feet in wetlands and at stream crossings.
The proposed alignment also makes use of existing, maintained areas to the extent practicable. Following
construction, affected jurisdictional areas are scheduled to be restored to its original grade and contour.
As proposed, the project will not result in permanent changes in pre -construction elevation contours or
affect dimension, pattern or profile of affected streams. Cleared areas are proposed to be restored in
accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (Appendix VI) following completion of the work.
❖ CLOSING
By copy of this correspondence and completed PCN, we are requesting your written concurrence with this
NWP No. 12 permit application. If you have questions or need additional information, please feel free to

3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
A large portion of the route parallels an existing PNG easement that contains both 8 -inch diameter and 12 -inch diameter
gaslines (Line 6 and Line 254). A portion of the project corridor deviates from the existing easement in order to route
around an existing residential neighborhood. Land use in the vicinity of the project area consists primarily of agricultural
land, undeveloped woodland and residential development.
The project area consists of PNG's existing gasline easement and abutting areas that consist of a mixture of woodland,
agricultural field and a residential area. The gasline easement is regularly -maintained through mowing, and is vegetated
with a mixture of invasive volunteer herbaceous cover and small shrubs/saplings.
3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
Unknown. See Pre -JD information (Appendix III) for information on wetlands delienated within the project area
3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
Unknown. See Pre -JD information (Appendix III) for information on streams delienated within the project area.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
PNG is planning to replace an approximately two-mile segment of one of their existing, 8 -inch dimeter natural gas
transmission pipelines. PNG has identified this portion of their pipeline as a High Consequence Area (HCA) with
inadequate records to support operating at the normal working pressure. In order to comply with federal regulations as
defined by the Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and return the gas line to the desired pressure, PNG
must replace this section of pipeline with a new pipe of the same diameter.
3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries, and other
associated workspaces, etc. The new 8 -inch pipe will be installed in a new 30 -foot wide easement adjacent to the
existing easement, and appropriately offset from the existing 12 -inch gasline that will remain. The existing segment of 8 -
inch pipeline will be remove in high ground areas, or retired in place at wetland locations. Up to an additional 25 feet of
temporary workspace (TWS) adjacent to the existing easement will be required to safely install the new pipe. In wetland
areas, efforts will be made to remove surface vegetation in a manner that minimizes disturbance of the substrate and
prevents exposure of soil. If necessary, temporary equipment crossings will be installed along one side of the easement
to facilitate equipment passage, cross over streams, and prevent excessive rutting and ground disturbance in the
wetlands. Appropriate sediment and erosion control (S&EC) measures will be installed as clearing proceeds to prevent
sedimentation of jurisdictional features.
No grubbing or below -ground vegetation removal will occur within wetlands or along stream banks outside of the
construction corridor. Where the pipe will be installed by conventional means (e.g. "open -trench" or "isolation"), grubbing
will be limited, to the extent practicable, to the trench line. Select upland portions of the easement may require rough
grading to facilitate safe passage of equipment, and to prepare a suitably -level work surface. Within wetland areas where
extensive rutting or soil disturbance may occur, timber mats are planned for use to provide work and travel space for
equipment.
Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary S&EC measures, the trench will be excavated along
the "non -working" side of the easement. Subsurface disturbance will only be conducted within the trench line at wetlands
and stream crossings. Stump removal or light grading may occur on the working side of the easement if required for
safety reasons. The work will be performed from the timber mats placed along the working side of the easement. In
certain areas, including wetlands and fields supporting crops, efforts will be made to segregate topsoil from the subsoil. If
necessary, trench breakers (temporary barriers generally constructed of sand bags or similarly suitable material) will be
installed within the trench to slow the flow of subsurface water.
In general, 40 -80 -foot lengths of the 8 -inch pipe will be trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the
easement and placed on skids (wooden pedestals). Specialized machines will be used to bend individual segments of
pipe to fit the contours of the trench where necessary. The pipe segments will be welded together, x-rayed, the structural
integrity and surface coating inspected, and then lowered into the trench. Segments of the trench may require dewatering
or "padding" to prevent large rocks or other debris from coming in contact with the pipe. Permanent trench breakers will
then be installed where necessary and the trench backfilled. In areas where segregation of the subsoil and topsoil is
required, the topsoil will be replaced last. Affected areas will then be "cleaned up" by rough -grading and temporary
seeding (if necessary), followed by final grading, permanent seeding and mulching to restore the easement as closely as
possible to pre -disturbance contours and conditions.
All work within wetlands and streams will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permits. Best Management
Practices (BMP's) will be employed at all stream and wetland crossings to help prevent siltation or inadvertent discharges
to a Waters of the U.S.

1. The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional waters of the
United States on the subject site, and the permit applicant or other affected party
who requested this preliminary JD is hereby advised of his or her option to
request and obtain an approved jurisdictional determination (JD) for that site.
Nevertheless, the permit applicant or other person who requested this
preliminary JD has declined to exercise the option to obtain an approved JD in
this instance and at this time.
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
approved JD for the activity, the permit applicant is hereby made aware of the
following: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a preliminary JD, which does not make an official determination of
jurisdictional waters; (2) that the applicant has the option to request an approved
JD before accepting the terms and conditions of the permit authorization, and
that basing a permit authorization on an approved JD could possibly result in less
compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions; (3) that
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)
that 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) that undertaking
any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without requesting
an approved JD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the
preliminary JD, but that either form of JD will be processed as soon as is
practicable; (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 preliminary JD constitutes agreement that all
wetlands and other water bodies on the site affected in any way by that activity
2

are jurisdictional waters of the United States, and precludes 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 approved JD or a preliminary JD, that JD
will be processed as soon as is practicable. Further, an approved JD, 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,
and that in any administrative appeal, jurisdictional issues can be raised (see 33
C.F.R. 331.5(a)(2)). If, during that administrative appeal, it becomes necessary
to make an official determination whether CWA jurisdiction exists over a site, or
to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional waters on the site, the Corps will
provide an approved JD to accomplish that result, as soon as is practicable.
This preliminary JD finds that there "may be"waters of the United States on the
subject project site, and identifies all aquatic features on the site that could be
affected by the proposed activity, based on the following information:

RESTORATION PLAN
PNG Line 6 Class Location Replacement
Stantonsburg, Wilson County, North Carolina
The proposed project has been designed to avoid and minimize jurisdictional impacts where
practicable. As part of mitigation for unavoidable impacts, the following plan shall be
implemented to restore temporarily -affected wetlands and Streams. This plan entails restoration
of temporarily -disturbed areas to their original contours and conditions to the degree practicable
upon project completion. No fills or spoils of any kind will be placed within wetlands or along the
stream banks. Further, disturbed wetland areas and streambanks will be permanently stabilized
with a native vegetative cover. The measures outlined below will be specified in the contract
documents prepared for construction of the proposed project.
Proposed restoration activities will include the removal of placed fill material and restoration of
original pre -disturbance contours. Excavated material shall be returned to the trench to the extent
possible, and remaining material relocated and retained on an upland site. Excavated topsoil will
be stockpiled separately, kept viable, and then replaced uniformly over the area of excavation
from which it was removed. The native seed mix identified in Table 1 below will be utilized within
temporarily -disturbed portions of the easement comprised of wetlands and along streams.

Substitutions to the species identified in Table 1 may be made based on availability and approval
of an S&ME Biologist.
To provide quicker cover, the mixes specified in Tables 1 should also be augmented with the
appropriate cover/companion species, as identified in Table 2.
