Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-17-051
Line 207 Launcher/Receiver Site November 13, 2017
General Project Information
PNG is planning to construct a "Launcher/Receiver" facility adjacent to the Line 207 natural gas
transmission pipeline and a mainline valve station. The site consists of a new PNG easement located on
portions of Tax Parcels Nos. 09928132 and 09928110, and is located south of an adjacent to Kimmerly
Glen Lane in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina (35.227775°N, -80.738088°V1n. The location
of the Mecklenburg is depicted on the attached Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1), the appropriate portion of
the Mint Hill, NC USGS Topographic Map (Figure 2), and an Aerial Orthoimagery Exhibit (Figure 3).
The purpose of the new facility is to accommodate the insertion and retrieval of an in-line inspection
device (ILID). Operation and maintenance of PNG's pipeline system is subject to extensive state and
federal regulations and requirements. At the Federal level, these regulations fall under the United States
Department of Transportation (USDOT). As a result of current Federal USDOT requirements, all pipeline
owners, including PNG, are required to inspect and assess the safety and integrity of transmission
pipelines on an on-going basis through the use of specific pipeline assessment tools. One of the
assessment tools required by USDOT is the use of an ILID. Such devices physically travel through the
pipeline, continuously take measurements and record data that allows the pipeline to be assessed in
terms of its structural integrity and identification of any areas that require further inspection, assessment,
and potential repair or remediation.
To make Line 207 compatible with the use of an ILID and meet USDOT inspection and assessment
requirements, PNG plans to construct the new above ground facility that will accommodate the ILID's
insertion into and removal from the pipeline.
Existing Environment
The Mecklenburg is located within the Piedmont Physiographic Province of North Carolina. Topography
in the area is generally flat, but slopes very gradually to the west. Review of the 1993 Mint Hill, NC US
Geological Survey (USGS) Topographic Map (Figure 2) depicts the portion of the site north of the
highway as open land. A blue -line stream channel that flows southeast from under Kimmerly Glen Lane is
depicted on the map in the western portion of the project area. The project area and surrounding land
are shaded purple on Figure 2, indicating an update since the previous USGS map was issued. Soils
mapped within the project area are limited to Cecil sandy clay loam (Typic Kanhapludults), Helena sandy
loam (Aquic Hapludults), and Monocan soils (Fluvaquentic Eutrudepts). Cecil and Helena soils are
moderately -well or well -drained. Monacan soils are somewhat poorly drained, and can contain hydric
inclusions.
On September 28, 2017, S&ME personnel visit the proposed project site, and observed that the eastern
portion of the project area consists of a utility corridor where an overhead powerline easement and an
adjoining natural gas transmission pipeline easement are co -located. The natural gas transmission
easement is regularly mowed and vegetated with grasses, while the adjacent powerline easement appears
less -frequently maintained, and is vegetated with high brush. A fenced natural gas regulator station,
gravel access road, and landscaped area are also present in the eastern portion of the project area. The
western portion of the project area consists of maturing woodland. A sewer line easement and a stream
are located along the western boundary of the project area. Land use in the vicinity of the site consists of
a mixture of residential, commercial light industrial, and undeveloped land.

Pre -Construction Notification S&ME Project No. 7435-17-051
Line 207 Launcher/Receiver Site November 13, 2017
Overstory vegetation within wooded portions of the project area included red maple (Acer rubrum), elm
(Ulmus Americana), sweetgum (Liquidambar styrocifluo), tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera), willow oak (Q.
phellos), and shortleaf pine (Pinus echinato). The mid -story layer includes Chinese privet (Ligustrum
sinense), paw paw (Asimina triloba), and various invasive species. The herbaceous layer includes
blackberry (Rubus sp.) and Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium vimineum). Woody vines include poison ivy
(Toxicodendron radicans), Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia), and catbriar (Smilax rotundifolia).
Vegetation within the existing utility corridor included ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia), Virginia pepper
weed (Lepidium virginicum), switch grass (Panicum sp.), goldenrod (Solidago conadensis), blackberry,
catbriar, and a variety of grasses.
During the site visit on September 28, 2017, S&ME personnel delineated jurisdictional surface waters
located therein. We followed the procedures set forth in the 1987 USACE Wetlands Delineation Manual.
The project is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province. Conditions were documented using
USACE Routine Wetland Determination Data Forms, as appropriate. A Request for Preliminary
Jurisdictional Delineation (Pre -JD) was submitted to your office on November 3, 2017 and assigned ORM
No. SAW -2017-02308.
One jurisdictional wetland (WA) and one stream (S1) were identified on-site (Figure 3). Based on the NC
Wetland Assessment methodology (NCWAM), WA is classified as a headwater wetland. WA is located in a
low area east of S1. Soils within WA were hydric, exhibiting a depleted matrix. Evidence of hydrology
included water -stained leaves, surface soil cracks and crayfish burrows.
The assessment area is located in the Lower Catawba River Basin (HUC 03050103) and is not subject to
state -administered riparian buffers, but is subject to local riparian buffer rules. S1 is an unnamed tributary
to Campbell Creek (NCDWR Index No. 11-137-9-1 Class Q. The stream contained water during the day of
the assessment, but it was confined to shallow, isolated pools with little flow observed. The stream
substrate ranged from silt and sand to gravel and sporadic cobble. S&ME completed an NCDWR Stream
Identification Form to document the biological, hydrological, and physical characteristics of S1 on the day
of the assessment. A numerical value of 28 was obtained for Sl, indicating that the stream is classified as
intermittent.
Photographs of conditions at the site are included in Appendix I.
Description of the Proposed Work and Impacts
The new launcher/receiver station will consist of a gravel pad and some above ground piping that will
serve to insert and retrieve the ILID device. Belowground piping will be extended from the existing station
site along the transmission pipeline into the new receiver site. The gravel pad will accommodate the
vehicular access and equipment staging that is necessary during ILID operations, and will be surrounded
by a chain link fence.
The project will result in fill placement within 2,271 square feet (0.052 acre) of wetlands. No stream
impacts will occur as a result of the project.
The completed PCN is included in Appendix II, and drawings that depict the proposed disturbance limits
and impacts to the wetland are included in Appendix III.

Protected Species
To assist you in determining the project's compliance with applicable sections of the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543), S&ME conducted a search of the North Carolina Natural Heritage
Program (NCNHP) database to identify element occurrences (EOs) of such species listed as potentially
occurring near the project corridor. The NCNHP list was compared to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) list of protected species for Mecklenburg County. Additionally, S&ME personnel conducted a
pedestrian field review of the site in conjunction with the delineation to locate potential habitat or the
presence of protected terrestrial species that were identified through the records review. The assessment
did not include sampling or a habitat assessment for aquatic or state -listed species.
The NCNHP provided a September 28, 2017 report (Appendix IV) that did not identify records of rare
species, important natural communities, natural areas, conservation areas or federally -protected species
documented within one mile of the site. The report did identify the project area as part of a collection of
tracts managed as open space by Mecklenburg County.
Based on review of the NCNHP and U.S. Fish & Wildlife (FWS) databases, federally -protected species with
documented populations in Mecklenburg County are listed in Table 1. Descriptions of the relevant
species taken from FWS profiles are also listed below.

Bald Eagle
Bald eagles were removed from the endangered species list in August 2007 because their populations
recovered sufficiently. However, bald and golden eagles are still protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Act (Eagle Act). The bald eagle is a large raptor with a
wingspan of approximately seven feet. 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.

Line 207 Launcher/Receiver Site November 13, 2017
The 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 bald eagle is listed as a current record for Mecklenburg County. The project area does not
contain suitable habitat for bald eagle, and there are no large bodies of water in the vicinity of the site.
Northern Long-eared Bat
The northern long-eared bat (NLEB) is a medium-sized bat about 3 to 3.7 inches in length but with a
wingspan of 9 to 10 inches. This bat is distinguished by its long ears, particularly as compared to other
bats in its genus, Myotis, which are actually bats noted for their small ears. NLEB spend winter hibernating
in caves and mines, called hibernacula. They use areas in various sized caves or mines with constant
temperatures, high humidity, and no air currents. During the summer, NLEB roost singly or in colonies
underneath bark, in cavities or in crevices of both live trees and snags (dead trees). Males and non-
reproductive females may also roost in cooler places, like caves and mines. This bat has also been found
rarely roosting in structures, like barns and sheds. White -nose syndrome (WNS), a deadly fungal disease
that impacts cave -dwelling bats, represents the principal threat to this species.
Although the project area may contain potentially suitable summer foraging habitat, it is not located
within 0.25 mile of known NLEB hibernacula, and will not involve cutting or destroying known, occupied
maternity roost trees or any other trees within a 150 -foot radius around known, occupied maternity trees.
Carolina Heelsplitter
The Carolina heelsplitter is most often found in small to large streams with shaded banks and a variety of
substrates. The shell covering of this mollusk is typically yellowish or greenish brown, and may have
greenish brown or black rays. The general shape of the shell is trapezoidal. There are two lateral teeth in
the left valve and one in the right valve.
Carolina heelsplitter is known from the Duck and Goose Creek subbasins of the Yadkin -Pee Dee river
basin. The study area drains into Campbell Creek, a tributary of McAlpine Creek, which flows into Sugar
Creek. The project area does not drain into tributaries or contain headwaters that flow into Duck or
Goose Creeks and accordingly, does not contain habitat for Carolina heelsplitter.
Rusty Patched Bumblebee
Historically, the rusty patched bumble bee was broadly distributed across the eastern United States. They
once occupied grasslands and tallgrass prairies of the Upper Midwest and Northeast, but most grasslands
and prairies have been lost, degraded, or fragmented by conversion to other uses. Bumble bees need
areas that provide nectar and pollen from flowers, nesting sites (underground and abandoned rodent
cavities or clumps of grasses), and overwintering sites for hibernating queens (undisturbed soil).
Rusty patched bumble bees live in colonies that include a single queen and female workers. The colony
produces males and new queens in late summer. Queens are the largest bees in the colony, and workers
are the smallest. All rusty patched bumble bees have entirely black heads, but only workers and males
have a rusty reddish patch centrally located on the back.
This species is listed as a historic occurrence for Mecklenburg County, and may be an extant record.

Michaux's Sumac
Michaux's sumac is a non-poisonous, low -growing, deciduous, densely hairy shrub. The erect stems grow
from an underground rhizome to a height of one to three feet. The compound leaves are alternate and
divided into long rows of 9 to 13 stalkless leaflets. The leaflets are 1.6 to 3.5 inches long, oblong, winged
at the base, dull on the top, hairy on the bottoms, with toothed edges. The terminal leaflet has a two inch
long winged petiole. Flowers grow at the top of the plant in a dense, erect cluster, colored greenish -
yellow to white, and are four -to five -parted. Fruit are hairy reddish drupes, each containing one seed.
Leaves emerge in April to May, flowering occurs April to June, and fruiting occurs August to October with
fruits persisting for several months. These plants are generally dioecious. Michaux sumac has been known
to produce male flowers one year and female flowers the next. Other individuals are monoecious with
both male and female flowers at one time. Usually less than half of the stems in a subpopulation do not
flower in a given season. Even though fruit may be plentiful, seed viability is low. This may be a result of
self -incompatibility or hybridization with other Rhus. This species usually produces asexually from thick,
shallow horizontal rhizomes.
Michaux sumac prefers sandy, loamy swales and depressions, acidic and circumneutral uplands, and rocky
open woods. It grows best where disturbance has maintained an open area. Michaux sumac has been
found along roadsides, in powerline clearings, and areas where forest canopies have been opened up by
blowdowns and/or hurricane damage. Episodic fires accentuate habitat for this species and reduce
hardwood encroachment, recycle nutrients, and aid regeneration of longleaf pine/wiregrass communities.
Potential habitat for Michaux sumac exists in the utility easement. However, field review did not identify
populations of Michaux sumac.
Schweinitz's Sunflower
Schweinitz's sunflower is a perennial herb in the aster family that generally grows up to five feet in height.
This plant has tuberous roots, with each stem attached to a single tuberous root. The stems are scabrous
(rough) and generally reddish in color. The leaves are soft pubescent below and scabrous on the upper
surface. The ray flowers are yellow, while the disk flowers are purplish. Schweinitz's sunflower generally
blooms during the month of September. The habitat of Schweinitz's sunflower is open woods, roadsides,
and powerline easements, often on basic soils with bare spots or a gravel component. The preferred sites
are characterized by abundant sunlight and little competition in the herbaceous layer.
Schweinitz's sunflower is listed as a current record for Mecklenburg County. The project area contains
suitable habitat for Schweinitz's sunflower within the existing utility easements and roadside area.
However, no species of Helianthus were observed during the September 28, 2017 site visit.
Smooth Coneflower
Smooth coneflower is a perennial herb growing to a height of one and one-half to three feet tall. This
species grows from a thick, vertical root. The stems of smooth coneflower are smooth. The stems have
few leaves, of which the largest are the basal leaves. The basal leaves are lance -ovate to elliptical, coarsely
serrate, and smooth above and below. The basal leaves are attached by long, slender petioles, while the
smaller leaves are attached with shorter petioles. The smooth coneflower's flowering period occurs from
May to July. The flower heads are normally solitary, located at the terminal part of the stem, with
drooping rays ranging from five to eight centimeters long. The flower is light pink to purplish in color.

Line 207 Launcher/Receiver Site November 13, 2017
Smooth coneflower prefers open woods associated with red cedar, meadows, and cleared utility and road
easements. The species forms small stands within open, grassy woodlands and cedar barrens. The
species prefers basic or circumneutral soils. This species requires abundant sunlight, little herbaceous and
shrub competition and periodic disturbances such as fire. Smooth coneflower was not identified within
the project area during the September 28, 2017 site assessment.
We anticipate that the USACE will complete the necessary coordination with the FWS prior to issuance of
the permit.
Historic Resources
To assist in your determination of compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
(NHPA) of 1966, S&ME conducted a review of the NC State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) GIS
database. Review of the database did not identify any sites that are listed or eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places within a one -mile radius of the project site. We anticipate that the
USACE will complete the necessary coordination with the SHPO prior to issuance of the permit.
Avoidance And Minimization
The Mecklenburg has been limited to the minimum amount considered necessary to safely accommodate
the new station and all of the support equipment that will be required during the IUD events. Impacts
have been minimized by PNG's use of appropriate erosion and sediment control measures during
construction, utilizing high -visibility fencing to demarcate wetland areas that are to remain undisturbed,
and by conducting a pre -construction meeting to review applicable permit conditions prior to
construction.
The project will result in permanent impacts (combined fill placement and conversion) to less than 0.10
acre of wetlands. Accordingly, we do not anticipate that purchase of wetland mitigation credit will be
required.
Closing

D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
1 a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
The project area has been limited to the minimum amount considered necessary to safely accommodate the new station and
all of the support equipment that will be required during the ILID events. Impacts have been further minimized by PNG's use
of an existing cleared area where practicable and avoidance of additional impacts to forested wetlands.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques.
Impacts will be minimized by clear demarcation of construction limits, a pre -construction meeting, and use of appropriate
sediment and erosion control measures during construction.

RE: Line 207 Receiver; 7435-17-051
Dear Amy Moore:
Secretary Susi H. Hamilton
NCNHDE-4403
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 indicates that there are records for rare species, important natural
communities, natural areas, or conservation/managed areas within the proposed project boundary. These
results are presented in the attached 'Documented Occurrences' tables and map.
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.
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), Clean Water Management Trust Fund
(CWMTF) easement, or an occurrence of a Federally -listed species is documented near the project area.
If you have questions regarding the information provided in this letter or need additional assistance, please
contact Rodney A. Butler at rodney.butler ncdcr,gov or 919.707.8603.
Sincerely,
NC Natural Heritage Program

No Element Occurrences are Documented within the Project Area
There are no documented element occurrences (of medium to very high accuracy) that intersect with the project area. Please note, however, that although the NCNHP database
does not show records for rare species within the project area, it does not necessarily mean that they are not present; it may simply mean that the area has not been surveyed. The
use of Natural Heritage Program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys if needed, particularly if the project area contains suitable habitat for rare species. If rare
species are found, the NCNHP would appreciate receiving this information so that we may update our database.
