• r� Z May 23, 2017 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington Regulatory Field Office 69 Darlington Avenue Wilmington, North Carolina 28403 Attention: Mr. Andy Williams, Regulatory Specialist Ms. Jennifer Burdette, 401/ Buffer Coordinator N.C. Division of Water Resources 401 and Buffer Permitting Branch 512 North Salisbury Street Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Reference: Application for USACE NWP 12 and NC DWR Water Quality Certification 4086 PSNC Lawrence Road Pipeline Project Granville County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 7435-16-005 Phase 09 Dear Mr. Williams and Ms. Burdette: On behalf of PSNC Energy (PSNC), S&ME, Inc. (S&ME) is submitting this Preconstruction Notification (PCN) for a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide Permit 12 (NWP 12, Utility Line Activities) and the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (NCDWR) Water Quality Certification 4086 (WQC 4086) for the above -referenced project. Written approval from NCDWR is sought as the project involves permanent fill in wetlands and will involve activities that impact regulated riparian buffers and may not be listed as exempt in these regulations. Notification to the USACE for this project is being provided for the record only, as written approval is not required because the project: 1) will not involve mechanized land clearing of a forested wetland for the utility line easement, 2) no section 10 waters are present, 3) the utility line does not exceed 500' in waters, 4) the project does not run parallel to a streambed, 5) losses to waters will be less than 0.10 acre, and 6) no permanent access roads will be constructed. ❖ BACKGROUND INFORMATION PSNC proposes to install 6,990 linear feet of 12 -inch diameter steel natural gas pipeline in the road right- of-way (ROW) along the east side of Lawrence road from Bruce Garner Road to an existing station along PSNC's T-30 pipeline located approximately 450 feet north of the bride over Smith Creek. The project also entails installation of approximately 1,210 linear feet of 2 -inch diameter plastic natural gas pipeline in the road ROW along Hardie Street, and construction of a new 50'X100' station site that will be cleared and graded level at the location where the proposed pipe ties in to the T-30 line, along an existing access road and adjacent to an existing station site. The following documents are provided in support of our request: o A completed PCN form; S&ME, Inc. 19751 Southern Pine Boulevard I Charlotte, NC 28273 1 p 704.523.4726 1 f 704.525.3953 1 www.smeinc.com Application for USACE NWP 12 and NC DWR Water Quality Certification 4086 *S&ME PSNC Lawrence Road Pipeline Project Granville County, North Carolina S&ME Project No. 7435-16-005 Phase 09 Appendix I: Figures: Site Vicinity (Figure 1), USGS Topographic Map / NWI Wetlands / FEMA Flood Zones (Figure 2), 2013 Aerial Photograph (Figure 3), Approximate Waters of the US (Figure 4), and Proposed Impacts (Figures 5-7); ♦ Appendix II: Land Ownership Information and Agent Authorization; ♦ Appendix III: Site Photographs; ♦ Appendix IV: Threatened Species and Historic Resources Information; ♦ Appendix V: Jurisdictional Delineation Supplemental Information. ❖ PROPOSED PROJECT IMPACTS Plans for the site development include impacts to two wetland areas and one stream and its regulated riparian buffer. The impact to the stream (Smith Creek, a tributary of Falls Lake / Neuse River) will be temporary, consisting of a trenched pipeline crossing within the existing road ROW (see Figure 5). Stream banks will be returned to original contour and seeded with a native seed mix. It should be noted that this area has recently been impacted by the fall 2016 replacement of the Lawrence Road bridge. Though the workspace for installation of the pipeline will be completely contained within the existing road ROW, which extends approximately 29 feet from the edge of pavement, some clearing of forested vegetation will be required, as survey data indicates that the tree line encroaches up to 9' into the existing ROW. As such, we calculate that 201 ft2 of clearing will occur within the Zone 1 buffer and 71 ft2 of clearing will occur within the Zone 2 buffer. Becuase this is a is near perpendicular, non -electric utility crossing with a workspace less than 40' wide, these buffer impacts are at minimum considered allowable without mitigation, and may be considered exempt, as the additional cleared ROW width is less than 10 feet. Impacts to Wetland 2 will be limited to ground disturbance associated with pipe installation equipment and placement of temporary timber matting (see Figure 6). Most of the portion of Wetland 2 within the road ROW is wooded, and will therefore be cleared prior to pipe installation, though this clearing impact is temporary, and PSNC will not maintain the area. Impacts to Wetland 1 will involve trenched pipeline installation through the emergent portion of this wetland as well as placement of fill in a small (approximately 0.01 acre) wooded corner of the wetland associated with establishment of the new station site (see Figure 7). Equipment work areas will be largely limited to the existing permanent access road and will avoid additional impacts to the north end of Wetland 2. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices equaling those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" will be used to minimize impacts to the wetlands. During construction, equipment operating near streams and wetlands will be limited to that necessary for excavation, pipe installation, and restoration activities. As proposed, the project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP 12 and WQC 4086. Following the pipeline installation work, the affected areas will be returned to its original grade and contour.

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 will take place entirely within existing DOT roadside easement and in existing PSNC utility easements. Easements have been cleared and maintained though some wooded vegetation is present in areas at the edge of the easement. Surrounding land use is primarily wooded with some rural residential areas. The Lawrence Road bridge over Smith Creek had been replaced and expanded in the fall of 2016. 3b. List the total estimated acreage of all existing wetlands on the property: 0.09 Acres within construction corridor. 3c. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property: 29 LF within the construction corridor. 3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project: The primary purpose of the project is to install approximately 6,990 linear feet of 12 -inch -diameter steel natural gas pipeline and approximately 1,210 linear feet of 2 -inch -diameter plastic natural gas pipeline in order to improve natural gas service in the area. In addition, a new 50'X100' station site is proposed at the end of the new pipeline in order to manage natural gas flow through the pipe. Page 4 of 14 3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used: The pipeline project will include installation of approximately 6,990 linear feet of 12 -inch -diameter steel natural gas pipeline in the road ROW along the east side of Lawrence road from Bruce Garner Road to a station along PSNC's T-30 pipeline located approximately 450 feet north of the Smith Creek crossing, as well as installation of approximately 1,210 linear feet of 2 -inch diameter plastic natural gas pipeline in the road ROW along Hardie Street. In addition, a new 50'X100' station site will be cleared and graded level at the location where the proposed pipe ties in to the T-30 line. Construction of the new pipeline will first involve demarcation existing ROW and easements and mechanized clearing of any existing vegetation in the proposed workspace. Along Lawrence Road, the pipe will be installed in the existing ROW approximately 10 feet off of the edge of pavement. The width of the ROW to the edge of pavement varies from 20 to 27 feet. In wetland areas, efforts will be made to remove surface vegetation in a manner that minimizes disturbance of the substrate and prevents excessive exposure of soil. If necessary, temporary timber mat equipment crossings will be installed to facilitate equipment passage, and prevent excessive rutting and ground disturbance in the wetland areas. 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. Following preparation of the work area and installation of necessary S&EC measures, the trench for the pipeline will be excavated. Subsurface disturbance will only be conducted within the trench line at wetlands and the stream crossing. Stump removal or light grading may occur on the working side of the easement if required for safety reasons. The work will be performed either from the timber mats placed along the working side of the easement or from the road. Efforts will be made to segregate topsoil from the subsoil when excavating in wetlands. In general, lengths of pipe will be trucked to the site, 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. 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 the stream 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. Following completion of the pipeline installation, the area will continue to be maintained by DOT. Any vegetation within the ROW that was cleared for pipe installation will be permitted to regrow at the discretion of the DOT. Page 5 of 14 4. Jurisdictional Determinations 4a.

Impact Justification and Mitigation 1. Avoidance and Minimization 1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project. Impacts have been minimized by installing the project entirely within the existing maintained road and gas easements / ROW. After construction, no additional right of way maintenance by PSNC will be required. Station impacts have been minimized by locating new stations along an existing access road and adjacent to existing station site. All wetland impacts have been limited to less than 0.10 acres. Appropriate sediment and erosion control practices equaling those outlined in the most recent version of the "North Carolina Sediment and Erosion Control Planning and Design Manual" will be used to minimize impacts to the wetlands. b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques. During construction, equipment operating near the stream and wetlands will be limited to that necessary for excavation, pipe installation, and restoration activities. As proposed, the project will comply with applicable conditions of NWP No. 12 and WQC No.4086. Following the work, the affected areas will be returned to their original grade and contour, with the exception of the new station site. 2.

A query of the NCNHP database indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary submitted with your request for information. These results are presented in the attached `Documented Occurrences' table and map. Also attached is a table summarizing rare species and natural communities that have been documented within a one -mile radius of the project 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. In the event that rare species are found within the project area, please contact the NCNHP so that we may update our records. Tables of natural areas and conservation/managed area within a one -mile radius, 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 NC Natural Heritage Program data may not be redistributed without permission from the NCNHP. Also please note that the NC Natural Heritage Program may follow this letter with additional correspondence if a Dedicated Nature Preserve (DNP), Registered Heritage Area (RHA), or an occurrence of a Federally - listed species is documented within or near the project area. Thank you for your inquiry. 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.
