RE: PIEDMONT NATURAL GAS, LINE D GAS LINE PROJECT
CATAWBA, BURKE AND CALDWELL COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA
Enclosed please find a revised Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) package for the Line D Gas Line
Project in Catawba, Burke and Caldwell Counties, North Carolina. This project was previously submitted
in December 2016 as a notification only. Since then, Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG) has determined they
would like to cut the trees in the project easement along Lake Hickory. This revision to the project will
convert 115 square feet (0.0026 acres) of wetland from forested to non -forested. We have communicated
this revision with the USACE as well.
We are updating our request for a 401 Water Quality Certification under the NC DENR Water Quality
Certification No. 3884 due to the minimization of impacts. We are also potentially clearing a buffer along
the Catawba River.
Enclosed please find the following parts of the request:
• Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) form and spreadsheet containing stream information
• Sheets 25 and 26 of the plan set — revised pages
• City of Hickory Floodplain Development Permit
• Check for $240
• Agent Authorization form
• Drilling Fluid Loss Plan
Thank you for your consideration of this application. If you have questions or need additional information
please contact me at [phone] or by email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,

RE: FLOODPLAIN DEVELOPMENT PERMIT
PIEDMONT NATURAL GAS, LINE D GAS LINE
CATAWBA, BURKE AND CALDWELL COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA
Enclosed please find the application for the Floodplain Development Permit for the Hickory portion of the
Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG) Line D gas line project in Catawba, Burke, and Caldwell Counties, North
Carolina. The project is being constructed by PNG's Hickory Resource Center, 1921 8th Ave. NW,
Hickory, NC 28601.
The project will install an 8 -inch gas pipeline from Hickory to Lenoir to help with system integrity
improvements. The majority of the gas line is proposed along the right-of-way of US 321 (Hickory Blvd.)
and other roads. The length of the project across all three counties is approximately 16 miles.
Enclosed as part of the application are the following items:
• Floodplain Development Permit application
• Property easements
• FIRM map panel portions
• Project plan pages
The proposed project will cross two floodplains within the City of Hickory. They are Lake Hickory and Frye
Creek. Frye Creek is labeled Stream SB at approximately Station 119+00 on sheet 19 of 121. The Lake
Hickory crossing is shown on sheets 25, 26 and 27. The bore plan is also attached.
Thank you for your consideration of this application. If you have questions or need additional information
please contact me at [phone] or by email at [e-mail].

HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
LINE D GAS LINE PROJECT
PIEDMONT NATURAL GAS
The proposed natural gas line installation project involves several Horizontal Direction Drilling (HDD)
bores. HDD is a common method used to install pipeline through heavily developed areas, roadways,
waterways and environmentally sensitive areas to minimize the surface disturbance that traditional open -
cut trenching methods typically require. The use of HDD construction limits disturbances to the drilling
site and temporary accesses if required.
Directional bore operations have the potential to release drilling fluids into the surface environment. The
drilling mud typically will flow into the surrounding sand and travel toward the ground surface. The drilling
fluid, a bentonite slurry, is used as a lubricant during the drilling of the bore hole, enabling the cuttings
from the drilling process to be carried back up to a containment bay at the ground surface at the drilling
site. It also works as a seal to enhance the 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.
Note that there will be no hydraulic fracturing associated with this method of drilling on the site.
While drilling, fluid seepage is most likely to occur near the bore entry and exit points where the drill head
is shallow, seepage can occur in any location along a directional bore. This Horizontal Direction Drilling
Contingency Plan establishes operational procedures and responsibilities for the prevention, containment,
and cleanup of fluid loss incidents associated with this project. The project specifications also reference
the HDD portion of the project.
All personnel and Sub -Contractors responsible for the work must adhere to this plan during the directional
drilling process.
The specific objectives of this plan are to:
1. Minimize the potential for a drilling fluid release associated with directional drilling activities;
2. Provide for the timely detection of fluid releases;
3. Protect any environmentally sensitive vegetation;
4. Ensure an organized, timely, and efficient response in the event of a release of drilling bentonite;
and
5. Ensure that all appropriate notifications are made immediately to Piedmont Natural Gas, the
project inspector, and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR).
Pre -Construction Measures
Before any HDD occurs, a safety meeting will take place. This contingency plan will be discussed and
any questions will be answered. The Site Supervisor shall ensure that a copy of this plan is available
(onsite) and accessible to all construction personnel. The Site Supervisor shall ensure that 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. Prior to construction, the work areas will be flagged and the limits defined. Erosion and sediment
controls will be placed near the drilling rig location and around the drilling fluid containment bays
as a preventative measure against drilling fluid leaving the site.
Page 11

2. A spill kit shall be kept onsite and used if a drilling fluid loss occurs. Other containment materials,
such as straw bales, shall also be kept on-site prior to and during all HDD drilling operations.
3. A vacuum truck shall be staged at a location from which it can be mobilized and relocated so that
any place along the drill shot, can be reached by the apparatus, within 1 hour of a drill fluid loss.
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. The pressure and volume of drilling fluid will be closely observed by the drilling contractor during
HDD activities to watch for indications of fluid loss.
2. Drilling operations will be halted by the drill rig operators immediately upon detection of a drop in
drilling pressure or any other indicator of fluid loss. The loss of drilling fluid to the surface is
greatest at shallow locations, typically near the entry and exit points of the HDD.
3. Containment bays will be in place at both the drill entry and exit points to prevent drilling fluid from
leaving the site at the entry and exit points, in addition to silt fence placed along the perimeter of
the drilling area.
4. The HDD bores have been designed to provide sufficient depth below water crossings to reduce
the risk of drilling fluid reaching the ground surface.
5. The clean-up of all spills and fluid loss shall begin immediately.
6. The Site Supervisor will notify Piedmont Natural Gas and the project inspector immediately at any
time during drilling operations that the drilling contractor observed a loss of drilling fluid.
7. In the event of a loss of drilling fluid, the Site Supervisor shall be notified immediately and will
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 sensitive resources, drilling operations may resume after use of a leak
stopping compound or redirection of the bore.
b. If drilling fluid reaches the surface, the area will be isolated with silt fence or similar
measures to contain drilling fluid.
i. A containment or relief bay may be installed, if possible, 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 contaminated with Bentonite shall be removed by hand to a depth of
2 -feet, contained and properly disposed of, as required by law. The drilling
contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that the bentonite is either properly
disposed of at an approved disposal facility or properly recycled in an approved
manner.
b. If drilling fluid reaches the surface in flowing waters, a coffer dam system will be
implemented to contain the site of the drilling fluid loss and use pumps or culverts to
maintain the flow of unaffected waters around the site of drilling fluid loss.
i. Drilling fluid removal will begin by vac -truck or hand tools immediately.
ii. Similarly, 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.
Page 12

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 contaminated with Bentonite shall be removed by hand to a depth of
2 -feet, contained and properly disposed of, as required by law. The drilling
contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that the bentonite is either properly
disposed of at an approved disposal facility or properly recycled in an approved
manner.
v. DENR will be notified.
During drilling activities, the pressure of the drilling fluid in the bore hole is greatest at the end of the drill.
If there is a drilling fluid loss, the danger of it occurring again at the same location will be significantly
reduced as the drilling continues and the bore hole is advanced beyond the location of the original fluid
loss. The pressure at the original loss location will be reduced and drilling fluids will be more likely to
resume their path through the bore hole and out to the containment bay at the drill site.
Response Close-out Procedures
When the release has been contained and cleaned up, response closeout activities will be conducted at
the direction of the Site Supervisor and shall include the following:
a. The recovered drilling fluid will either be recycled or hauled to an approved facility for disposal.
No recovered drilling fluids will be discharged into streams, storm drains or any other water
source;
b. All spilled drilling fluid excavation and clean-up sites will be returned to pre -project contours using
clean fill, as necessary; and
c. All containment measures (fiber rolls, straw bale, etc.) will be removed, unless otherwise
specified by the Site Supervisor/Foremen.
The following documentation is required:
The Site Supervisor shall record the drilling fluid loss in their daily log. The log will include the following:
Details on the release event, including an estimate of the amount of bentonite released, the location and
time of release, the size of the area impacted, and the success of the clean-up action. The log report shall
also include the: name and telephone number of person reporting; date; how the release occurred; type
of activity that was occurring around the area of the drilling fluid loss; description of any sensitive areas
and their location in relation to the drilling fluid loss; description of the methods used to clean up or secure
the site; and a listing of the current permits obtained for the project.
The Site Supervisor will notify the Piedmont Natural Gas on-site representative immediately at any time
during drilling operations that the drilling contractor observes a loss of drilling fluid.
Construction Re -start
For small releases, drilling may continue, if 100 percent containment is achieved through the use of a leak
stopping compound or redirection of the bore and the clean-up crew remains at the drilling fluid loss
location throughout the remainder of the drilling of that bore.
For all other releases, construction activities will not restart without prior approval from Piedmont Natural
Gas and the project engineer's representative.

Bore Abandonment
Abandonment of the bore will only be required when all efforts to control the drilling fluid loss within the
existing directional bore have failed. 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.
