Dear Mr. Bailey 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 installation of approximately 2.85 miles of natural gas distribution pipeline.
This Pre -Construction Notification (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. In support of this application,
please find enclosed the following:

♦ Appendix V: Typical Stream and Wetland Crossing Details
♦ Appendix VI: Agency Scoping Responses
♦ Appendix VII: Restoration Plan and Buffer Mitigation Availability Notice
Although PNG tentatively plans to install the pipe by bore at stream/wetland crossings, this PCN is being
submitted because 0.012 acre of forested wetland will be converted to herbaceous wetland, and to
account for the potential that bore installation is found to be impracticable due to field conditions at any
of the crossings.

Written concurrence from the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) is also required
because the proposed project will not cross all stream channels at a near perpendicular angle.
❖ General Project Information
PNG is planning to install a new 2.85 -mile segment of natural gas pipeline in order to provide natural gas
service and improve system strength near the Town of Gibsonville (Guilford County) and the City of
Burlington (Alamance County), North Carolina. The approximate center of the project is located at
36.060619° N, -79.552300° W. The new distribution line will originate at a station site on the south side of
Konica Drive near the Zink Imaging facility in Guilford County (36.061601° N, -79.577639° W). The new
line will then parallel an existing PNG distribution line located in NC Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) easement east to NC Highway 61. The new gasline will then cross beneath NC Highway 61
South and parallel an existing waterline easement and then the southern edge of the Intestate 85
easement for approximately 1.5 miles. The remainder of the new line will pass south of an existing
NCDOT rest area before terminating at Charlie Ingle Lane in Alamance County (36.062127° N, -79.530311°
W). Portions of the new gasline will parallel the aforementioned easements, while other portions will be
constructed in a new 10 -foot wide, greenfield easement, with 15 feet of additional temporary work space
planned to accommodate construction.
The general project location is depicted on the Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1). The project vicinity consists
of a mixture of undeveloped wooded areas, commercial/residential/industrial development adjacent to
existing roadways. The location of the project corridor is depicted in greater detail on the appropriate U.S.
Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map exhibits (Figures 2-4).
Typical conditions within the project corridor include mature hardwood and pine forest, mid -and young
successional forest, pastureland, and stabilized disturbance areas associated with existing road rights-of-
way or maintained lawn. Several of the wooded areas consisted of shrubby edge habitat dominated by
typical aggressive edge colonizing plants under intact forest canopy of varying habitat types and in
varying successional stages. Vegetation types within these areas consist of intergrades of sunlight -
influenced edge characteristics, and often a mix of opportunistic, sub -mature woody vegetation.
Species observed within wooded portions of the project corridor included sweetgum (Liquidambar
styraciflua), red maple (Acer rubrum), pignut hickory (Carya glabra), white oak (Quercus alba), tulip tree
(Liriodendron tulipifera), American beech (Fagus grandifolia), black cherry (Prunus serotina), southern red
oak (Q. falcata), sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum), shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata) and loblolly pine (P.
taeda) in the canopy. American holly (Ilex opaca), flowering dogwood (Cornus Florida), eastern red cedar
(Juniperus virginiana) and Virginia pine (P. virginiana) were present in the subcanopy. Shrubs included
Chinese privet (Ligustrum sinense) and autumn olive (Elaeagnus umbellata). Dominant vines in deciduous
wooded areas include crossvine (Anisostichus capreolatus), roundleaf greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), and
porion ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).
Although such areas varied greatly, vegetation within maintained, non -forested areas included fescue
(Festuca sp.), dogfennel (Eupatorium capillifolium), goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Allegheny blackberry (Rubus
allegheniensis), Queen Anne's lace (Daucus carota), ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), sericea lespedeza
(Lespedeza cuneata), winged sumac (Rhus copallina), wineberry (R. phoenicolasius), little bluestem
(Schizachyrium scoparium), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), American pokeberry (Phytolacca americana),
partridge pea (Chomaecrista fasciculata), morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea), muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia),
poison ivy, and a number of other grasses and volunteer species.

PNG Southern Alamance System Enhancement November 3, 2016
Review of the Gibsonville, NC USGS Topographic Maps (Figure 2) indicated that Back Creek and a number
of unnamed tributaries to Alamance Creek cross the proposed easement. According to the Guilford and
Alamance County Soil Surveys, predominant soil types mapped within the project area include Chewacla
sandy loam, Coronaca clay loam, Enon soils, Helena sandy loam, Lloyd clay loam, Madison sandy loam,
Mecklenburg sandy clay loam, Wilkes soils, and Worsham sandy loam.
❖ Description of the Proposed Work
The project includes the installation of approximately 15,080 linear feet of 8 -inch diameter plastic pipeline.
PNG is acquiring a permanent cross -county easement that is 10 feet wide and a roadside disturbance
width of approximately 10 feet along Konica Drive and NC Highway 61 South. The majority of the
temporary workspace associated with the 8 -inch diameter pipeline will be 15 feet wide with larger areas
near some existing billboards. Construction of the project may include clearing and grubbing within the
25 -foot wide workspace, as well as excavating a trench to install the pipeline.
Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation of clearing limits, jurisdictional boundaries,
and other associated workspaces, etc. The new pipe will be installed in a new 10 -foot wide easement. In
general, an additional 15 feet of temporary workspace adjacent to the existing easement will be required
to safely install the new pipe. At the wetland crossing, 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 the wetland 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 the wetland area where extensive rutting or soil disturbance
may occur, timber mats will be placed 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 the wetland, 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.
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). The pipe segments will be heat -welded together,
inspected, and then lowered into the trench. 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 the wetland

and at stream crossings 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 September 7, 2016, S&ME visited the project area to delineate jurisdictional features 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. During the site visit, the boundaries of regulated surface waters were demarcated using
sequentially -numbered flagging. Photographs of the subject features are included in Appendix H. A
Request for Pre -JD was submitted to the USACE on October 6, 2016.
Streams, Wetlands, and Riparian Buffers
Multiple jurisdictional streams (S2 through S7) were identified during the site visit. Two of the streams (S7
and S3) are classified as perennial, while the remainder are intermittent. In addition, two wetland areas
(WB and WC) were also observed. WB is a headwater forest wetland that abuts S5, and WC is a basin
wetland located within a linear depression that is permanently ponded by continuous discharge from a
municipal water line.

temporary equipment crossing. A portion of S4 flows through an area that has been identified as a
potential temporary laydown area, but will not likely be affected. This portion has also been included as
temporary impact in the event and additional equipment crossing through this area is required. The
wetland impact will result from installation of the new pipe and permanent conversion (forested wetlands
to herbaceous wetlands).
Five of the seven proposed crossings will affect streams subject to Jordan Lake Watershed riparian buffer
rules administered by NCDWR (because the project crosses municipal jurisdictions). 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 (Sue
Homewood) on November 1, 2016. A summary of impacts to riparian buffers is provided in Table 2.

Details of the proposed impacts are included in Appendix M. Drawings depicting each proposed stream
and wetland crossing are included in Appendix IV, and typical cross-sectional views are included 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.
•'• 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 and the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS) lists to identify occurrences of federally protected species that may be
documented in Guilford and Alamance Counties. The NCNHP provided a September 6, 2016 report that
indicated they had no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or
conservation/managed areas within the project area boundary, and there are no records of federally
protected species documented within one mile of the project area.

S&ME also provided a scoping package to the USFWS on October 3, 2016. The scoping package included
depictions of the route overlain on the appropriate USGS topographic maps and aerial photographs in
digital format, along with a Google Earth® kmz file of the proposed alignment. The scoping package
requested that the USFWS review records they may have had relating to rare, endangered, or threatened
species, or high quality natural communities within the vicinity of the project corridor, and provide
comment. To date, USFWS has not provided a response. As such, a copy of this PCN will also be
provided to the USFWS in Raleigh, N.C, in order to continue compliance with Section 7 of the ESA, with a
request that they provide comment directly to your office.
Small Whorled Pogonia
Status: Federally Listed Threatened
Biological Determination: May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect
Small whorled pogonia (Isotria medeoloides) is a member of the orchid family. According to the USFWS
species description, it usually has a single grayish -green stem that grows about 10 inches tall when in
flower and about 14 inches when bearing fruit. The leaves are arranged in a whorl near the top of the
stem and beneath the flower. The leaves are grayish -green, somewhat oblong and one to 3.5 inches long.
The greenish -yellow flowers are about 0.5 to one inch long and appear in May or June. The fruit, an
upright ellipsoid capsule, appears later in the year.
This species grows in older hardwood stands of beech, birch, maple, oak, and hickory that have an open
understory. Sometimes it grows in stands of softwoods such as hemlock. It prefers acidic soils with a thick
layer of dead leaves, often on slopes near small streams, and often occurs on flats or slope bases near
canopy breaks. Although the project corridor contains potentially -suitable habitat for the small whorled
pogonia, no individuals of this species, nor species with which it is known to co-occur, were observed.
Based on our pedestrian field review, it is not anticipated that this project will adversely affect populations
of this species.
Bald Eagle
Status: Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act
Biological Determination: No Effect
Bald eagle is a large raptor with a wingspan of approximately seven feet (2.1 meters). Adult individuals of
this species have a mainly dark brown plumage with a solid white head and tail. Bald eagles develop
adult plumage in the fifth or sixth year. Juveniles of the species exhibit a chocolate brown to blackish
plumage with occasional occurrences of white mottling on the tail, belly, and under -wings. Bald eagle's
primary diet consists of fish. However, it will feed on birds, mammals, and turtles when fish are not
available.

PNG Southern Alamance System Enhancement November 3, 2016
Bald eagle is associated with coasts, rivers, and lakes, usually nesting near large bodies of water where it
feeds. Nesting habitat in the Carolinas usually occurs in large pine trees along the edge of large bodies of
water. The proposed project will not impact large bodies of water, and no areas of potential habitat for
this species were observed during field review. Therefore, the project should have no effect on bald eagle.
❖ Historic and Archaeological Resources
On October 3, 2016, a scoping letter was submitted to the North Carolina State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) with a request that they provide comment on the proposed project. The SHPO responded
with an October 20, 2016 letter stating that they were aware of no historic resources that would be
affected by the project, and therefore had no further comment. A copy of the SHPO letter is included in
Appendix VI.
•'• Avoidance and Minimization
PNG re-routed the proposed pipe to avoid impacts to an additional wetland area that was located in the
original alignment, and impacts to WC will be avoided by use of trenchless installation. Construction
equipment operating near streams and the Wetland WB 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. The non -perpendicular stream and buffer crossings
associated with S1 are necessary because the proposed easement abuts and parallels an existing property
line. The new gasline was routed in this manner to minimize the landowner impact by not fragmenting
the parcel and better preserving its viability for future development, should the owner decide to
eventually do so.
Appropriate S&EC 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 work, the affected areas will be restored to their 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 streams. Affected areas are proposed to be restored in
accordance with the attached Restoration Plan (Appendix VII) following completion of the work.
•'• Mitigation
The project will not permanently impact stream channels, as those that are temporarily affected will be
restored following construction. While the project will not result in a loss of Waters of the U.S., it will
result in permanent conversion of 0.01 acre of forested wetland to herbaceous wetland. Because the
conversion impacts do not exceed 0.10 acre, we do not anticipate that compensatory mitigation beyond
the proposed avoidance and minimization efforts will be required.
As proposed, the project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 12. The project will not result
in permanent changes in pre -construction elevation contours or affect dimension, pattern, or profile of
affected streams or wetlands. Cleared areas are proposed to be restored in accordance with the attached
Restoration Plan (Appendix VII) following completion of the work.

Of the proposed pipeline crossings, those of Stream S2 (crossings 6 and 7) and considered "allowable with
mitigation." The remaining crossings are exempt, as they are perpendicular, do not result in a disturbance
width of greater than 40 feet, and will result in a permanent maintenance corridor of 10 feet.
Project -wide riparian buffer impacts are detailed in the appropriate table in Appendix III and drawings in
Appendix IV. Of these impacts, 1,999 sf of Zone 1 will be permanently converted from forest to grassed
easement, and will require mitigation. Using the appropriate multiplier (1,999 sf x 3), PNG is required to
purchase 5,997 riparian buffer credits in Cape Fear 03030002. PNG plans to purchase these credits from
Restoration Systems, LLC (Appendix VII).

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:
The project vicinity consists of an area that consists of woodland, agricultural land, or is developed with residential,
commercial and light industrial land uses. The project route passes within or adjacent to NCDOT easements.
3b.
List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property:
Less than 0.05 acre
3c.
List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
251 LF
3d.
Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
PNG is planning to install an approximately 2.85 -mile segment of natural gas transmission pipeline.
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 pipe will be installed in a new 10 -foot wide easement. An additional 15 feet of
temporary workspace (TWS) adjacent to the proposed permanent easement will be required to safely install the new pipe.
At the wetland area, 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 the wetland 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 the wetland area,
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. 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. 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, new segements of the plastic pipe will be trucked to the site from temporary storage yards, strung along the
easement and placed on skids (wooden pedestals). The pipe segments will be heat -welded togegether, 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 the wetland and at streams will be conducted in accordance with the applicable permits. Best
Management Practices (BMP's) will be employed at all streams and the wetland crossing to help prevent siltation or
inadvertent discharges to a Waters of the U.S.

DESCRIPTION:
A TEMPORARY ACCESS BRIDGE IS A STREAM CROSSING MADE OF
WOOD, METAL, OR OTHER MATERIALS DESIGNED TO LIMIT THE
AMOUNT OF DISTURBANCE TO THE STREAM BANKS AND BED.
EFFECTIVE USES & LIMrrATIONS:
TEMPORARY ACCESS BRIDGES ARE THE PREFERRED METHOD OF
WATERWAY CROSSING SINCE THEY TYPICALLY CAUSE THE LEAST
DISTURBANCE TO THE WATERWAY BED AND BANKS, POSE THE LEAST
CHANCE FOR INTERFERENCE WITH FISH MIGRATION, AND CAN BE
QUICKLY REMOVED AND REUSED.
MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS:
• STRINGERS: STRINGERS SHOULD EITHER BE LOGS, SAWN TIMBER,
PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAMS, METAL BEAMS, OR OTHER
APPROVED MATERIALS.
• DECK MATERIALS: DECK MATERIALS SHOULD BE OF SUFFICIENT
STRENGTH TO SUPPORT THE ANTICIPATED LOAD.
CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE:
1. REFER TO AUTHORIZED PERMITS FOR ADDITIONAL LOCAL, STATE,
AND FEDERAL BMP REQUIREMENTS.
2. ABUTMENTS SHOULD BE PLACED PARALLEL TO, AND ON, STABLE
BANKS SUCH THAT THE STRUCTURE IS AT OR ABOVE BANKFULL
DEPTH TO PREVENTTHE ENTRAPMENT OF FLOATING MATERIALS
AND DEBRIS.
3. TEMPORARY ACCESS BRIDGES SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED TO SPAN
THE ENTIRE CHANNEL. IF THE BANKFULL CHANNEL WIDTH
EXCEEDS 8 FEET (2.5 METERS), THEN A FOOTING, PIER, OR OTHER

PROJECT:
BRIDGE SUPPORT MAY BE CONSTRUCTED WITHIN THE WATERWAY.
NO SUPPORT WILL BE PERMITTED WITHIN THE CHANNEL FOR
WATERWAYS LESS THAN 8 FEET WIDE. ONE ADDITIONAL BRIDGE
SUPPORT WILL BE PERMITTED FOR EACH ADDITIONAL 8 -FOOT
WIDTH OF THE CHANNEL.
4. ALL DECKING MEMBERS SHOULD BE PLACED PERPENDICULARLY TO
THE STRINGERS, BUTTED TIGHTLY, AND SECURELY FASTENED TO
THE STRINGERS. DECKING MATERIALS MUST BE BUTTED TIGHTLY
TO PREVENT ANY SOIL MATERIAL TRACKED ONTO THE BRIDGE
FROM FALLING INTO THE WATERWAY. WRAP GEOTEXTILE
OVER/UNDER BRIDGE TO PREVENT ANY SOIL MATERIAL FORM FALL
INTO THE WATERBODY.
5. SIDEBOARDS, CURBS OR FENDERS WILL BE INSTALLED ALONG THE
OUTER SIDES OF THE DECK TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND
TO PREVENT SOIL MATERIAL FROM FALLING INTO THE
WATERBODY.
6. PERIODIC INSPECTION SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY THE USER TO
ENSURE THAT THE BRIDGE, STREAMBED, AND STREAM BANKS ARE
MAINTAINED AND NOT DAMAGED.
7. MAINTENANCE SHOULD BE PERFORMED AS NEEDED TO ENSURE
THAT THE STRUCTURE COMPLIES WITH ALL STANDARDS AND
SPECIFICATIONS. THIS SHOULD INCLUDE THE REMOVAL OF
TRAPPED SEDIMENT AND DEBRIS WHICH SHOULD THEN BE
DISPOSED OF AND STABILIZED IN UPLAND AREA.
8. WHEN THE TEMPORARY BRIDGE IS NO LONGER NEEDED, ALL
STRUCTURES INCLUDING ABUTMENTS AND OTHER BRIDGING
MATERIALS SHOULD BE REMOVED WITHIN 14 CALENDAR DAYS. IN
ALL CASES, THE BRIDGE MATERIALS SHOULD BE REMOVED WITHIN
1 YEAR OF INSTALLATION. REMOVAL OF THE BRIDGE AND
CLEAN-UP OF THE AREA, INCLUDING PROTECTION AND
STABILIZATION OF DISTURBED STREAM BANKS, SHOULD BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT THE USE OF CONSTRUCTION
EQUIPMENT IN THE WATERWAY.

The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NCNHP) appreciates the opportunity to provide information
about natural heritage resources for the project referenced above.
A query of the NCNHP database, based on the project area mapped with your request, indicates that there are
no records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, 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 and is
included for reference. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius of the
project area, if any, are also included in this report.
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 (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) 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 Suzanne Mason at suzanne.mason&ncdcr.gov or 919.707.8637.

Appendix VII: Restoration Plan and
Buffer Mitigation Availability Notice

RESTORATION PLAN
PNG Southern Alamance System Enhancement
Alamance and Guilford Counties, 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.
