(Piedmont) is proposing to perform maintenance on a 12" pipeline for erosion protection. The pipeline has become exposed at the Richard Creek, located in Guilford County, North Carolina. The site is on the "Lake Brandt, North Carolina" USGS Quadrangle sheet. GPS Coordinates are 36.139221 N, 79.835855 W. Piedmont proposes to re- establish cover over the exposed pipeline and armor the prepared areas with a 40' wide x 40' long System 21T' Articulating Grout Mat as shown in the drawings. Please find enclosed information package and application form on this project. A copy of the application package is also submitted to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This project involves the repair to a previously authorized, currently serviceable structure and fill. The structure will not to be put to uses differing from those uses contemplated for it in the original permit. Piedmont proposes to restore pipeline protection and the adjacent stream bank in such a manner that all adverse environmental effects are minimal. This project was designed with the minimum materials necessary to protect the structure and to ensure the safety of the pipeline while preventing future erosion and exposure. Minor deviations in the structure's filled area include those due to changes in materials, construction techniques, and current construction codes for safety standards that are necessary to make the rehabilitation. Any stream channel modification will be limited to the minimum necessary for protecting the integrity of the pipeline. Should you require any additional information or have any questions regarding this project, please do not hesitate to contact Sandra Endlich at (713) 460-4601 or via sendlich@ecodyne-cim.com.

LFb om.r Flivemre Wetland Map Page 5 SCOPE OF WORK I. INTRODUCTION Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc. (Piedmont) is proposing to perform maintenance on a 12" pipeline for erosion protection. The pipeline has become exposed at the Richard Creek. The site has been visited and surveyed on January 26, 2017, and waters were delineated. No wetlands were found within the project site. IL SITE DESCRIPTION The site consists of an exposed 12" pipeline crossing the Richard Creek, located in Guilford County, North Carolina. The site is on the "Lake Brandt, North Carolina" USGS Quadrangle sheet. GPS Coordinates are 36.139221 N, 79.835855 W. Piedmont proposes to re-establish cover over the exposed pipeline and armor the prepared areas with a 40' wide x 40' long System 21' Articulating Grout Mat as shown in the drawings. III. CONSTRUCTION SEQUENCE 1. Prepare the site for construction activities and conduct tailgate safety meeting. 2. Install all required soil erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMP's), pumps, and dewatering barriers (sand bags, bladder bags, etc.). 3. Prepare area for placement of Articulating Grout Mat, including shaping, grading, fill, and bed/bank preparation, as shown on the drawings. 4. Install Articulating Grout Mat and secure the fabric grout mattress over the pipeline and prepare area as shown on the drawings. 5. Inflate the fabric form with a structural sand cement mix (grout). 6. Seed disturbed areas within the work site with appropriate mix ratios. 7. The site will be cleaned up to the satisfaction of the respective landowners, according to conditions agreed upon prior to the commencement of the work. IV. MATERIAL System 21 Ercoformnl/ Eco-FlexTm Mat The System 21 Articulating Block Mat (ABM) is formed with a double layer woven fabric, joined together into a matrix of rectangular compartments each separated by a narrow perimeter of interwoven fabric and containing interconnecting high strength revetment cables. Articulating Block Mat forms are positioned on the area to be protected, where they are filled with pumpable Page 6 fine aggregate concrete (structural grout) to form a mattress of individual blocks in a bonded block pattern. The high strength revetment cables become embedded in the blocks to tie the blocks together and enable the revetment to resist tension in all directions. Patented separate cable duct design assures that the revetment cables will be positioned securely in the center of each block. Relief of hydrostatic uplift pressure, caused by entrapped and ground water is provided through the narrow perimeter of interwoven fabric after the grout has hardened. Articulating Block Mat (ABM) is custom fabricated into multiple mill width panels, designed to fit actual site. The System 21 mat is designed for complete pipeline coverage within the creek bed, while promoting growth of local riparian vegetation within the mat along the creek banks. This is accomplished by a two phase mat where an ErcoformTM E-60 solid mat and an Eco - Flex' open cell mat are combined during manufacturing and pumped on site.

Fine aggregate concrete has a typical mix water/cement ratio of0.65 to 0.75. The pumping of fine aggregate concrete into the fabric forms causes a reduction in the water content by fiftering excess mixing water through the permeable fabric. The reduction of mixing water substantially improves the water/cement ratio of the in-place fine aggregate concrete thereby Increasing its strength and dursbtlity. With a typical loss of approximately 15% of the total mixing water, 27 if of pumpable fine aggregate concrete will reduce to approximately 25 ft' of hardened concrete. The mixing water reduction will also result in an increase of approximately 8% in the sand and cement per cubic yard of concrete. The range of fine aggregate concrete mix proportions provided in table below has been developed under a variety of field conditions and is suitable for either on land or underwater. 5.2 Air Entrainment Mixes designed with 5% to 8% air content will improve the pumpability of the fine aggregate concrete and the freeze -thaw, resistance of the hardened concrete. o M136Lm Taeodogo, LLC 5.3 Admixtures Pozzolao grade fly ash may be substituted for up to 35% of the cement as an aid to pumpability. (The pumpability of fine aggregate concrete mixes containing course sand is improved by the addition of fly ash.) Grout fluldther, water redudng or set time controlling agents may be used as recommended by their anufacturers to Improve the pumpability and set time of the fine aggregate concrete. 5.4 Ready -Mix Fine aggregate concrete should be pre -mixed at a concrete batch plant and delivered by ready -mix trucks to the job site. If a continuous supply of concrete cannot be assured a reserve of concrete should be maintained In a holding hopper equipped with an agitator. The consistency of the Me aggregate concrete delivered to the job she should be maintained in the 9-11 second range when passed through the 0.75 inch orifice of the standard flow cone, that is described In ASTM D 6449 (Fig. 1). Tests Utilizing a concrete slump cone are not appropriate. 5.5 Components Portland cement should conform to ASTM C 150, Type I or II. Fine aggregate should conform to ASTM C 33, except as to grading. Aggregate grading should be reasonably consistent and should not exceed the maximum size which can be conveniently handled with available pumping equipment. Water for mixing should be dean and free from injurious amounts of oil, alkali, organic matter or other deleterious substances. Pouolan, H used should conform to ASTM C 618, Class C. F or N. Plasticizing and air entraining admixtures, if used, should conform to ASTM C 494 and ASTM C 260, respectively. 6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPATIBILITY When fine aggregate concrete Is pumped into the fabric forms an average of 0.25% of the OR content (with a maximum of 0.5%) is lost through the fabric forms, or the equivalent of approximately 2000 g o/cement to a cubic yard o/concrete pumped. The addition of 40 g of cement to a cubic yard of water will raise the pH value of water approximately 1.0. This should fall well within the nominal pH range (TO to 9.5) of potable water. The following procedures, should assure that the has in pH during fine aggregate concrete pumping of fabric formed linings, mats or armor units will not exceed 1.0: • In stagnant water, the total volume of water must be at least 50 times the volume of fine aggregate concrete pumped. • In flowing water, the rate of water flow in cubic yards per minute must exceed the rote of tine aggregate concrete pumped in cubic yards per hour. .=7M.Hsrsd�.lmuc -4- 7.0 INSTALLATION 7.1 Site Preparation Slope grading equipment Is used to excavate to required depths, contour the Slopes to the s ifled slope ratio and form the anchor, toe and terminal trenches P Pec round theperipheryof the installation. The area to be rotected must be tree of ro P rock, brush, Dols r large soil clotls. Ercoform TM should be placed on a compacted sub -grade and stable slope. The fabric forms am usually anchored into a trench 3 to 5 feet deep, by 3 feet wide, at the top of the slope. 7.2 Panel Placement and Field Assembly Once the slope and other related excavation conforms to finished grade and elevation specifications, Installation of the filler fabric and the Ercofortn T"' fabric forms may beg n Atter a s to specific fitter fabric has been Installed, the custom sized Erooform r"' panels are rolled down the slope and positioned for unfolding. The panels are positioned according to prepared drawings where each panel is identified for placement. The anel is Nen unfolded b a work crew and pulled D Y Imo position. The Ercotorm panels should be positioned loosely along the slope. Once itioned the upper ed of the anal is folded into the anchor P Pos extra 9e P wench oto the slope. The extra fabric provided for contraction duan pumping P P P yr P d should be accumulated and held at the top of the slope and gradually released as the anal is filled. If field modifications are required, adjacent panels are P e9 joined by field sewing or zippering the double layer fabric forms, bottom layer to bottom layer, and top layer to top layer. During field modificetionsladditions, transverse revelment cables should be spliced together prior to joining of the top layers of fabric. 7.3 Inspection Before Filling When Inspecting the panels prior to pumping, wrinkles and loose fabric should be expected as they are necessary to compensate for form contraction. As much as 10% contraction in each direction may be expected during the filling process. All field sewn seams. zipper connections and lap joints must be carefully inspected to assure that no holes in the forms are present. Colored thread Is advised for all field sewn seams to facilitate inspection. 7.4 Structural Grout Pumping The upper edge of the Encoform " panel that has been placed into the anchor trench should be weighted down with sandbags to prevent the panel from sliding down the slope as it is pumped with grout. Grout should then be injected into the lower mat area first, proceeding gradually up the slope and into the upper anchor trench until the entire panel has been filled. Structural grout is injected into the Ercofonn TM panels by inserting a 3- diameter grout hose through a small slit cut in the upper layer of fabric near the top of the slope. A grout tight seal is formed by wrapping the injection hose with burlap, or similar material, while the grout is being injected. When the hose is withdrawn, the budap is stuffed into the hole where it remains until the grout is no longer fluid. The burlap is then removed and the concrete surface at the hole is smoothed by hand.
