RE: Nationwide Permit 39/GC 4139
Aberdeen Transmission Headquarters
Aberdeen, North Carolina
DKE-17280
Dear Ms. Higgins:
On behalf of Duke Energy Progress, LLC, we are applying for a Nationwide Permit 39 from the US Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) and a Water Quality Certification 4139 from the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) for
proposed impacts to jurisdictional wetlands associated with the project known as Aberdeen Transmission
Headquarters. The project area is located at the intersection of NC Highway 5 and Allison Page Road in the Town of
Aberdeen, Moore County, North Carolina. The following attachments are included as part of this permit application:
> Signed Agent Authorization Form
> Fig. 1 - USGS Quad — "Southern Pines"
> Fig. 2 - Moore County Soil Survey (Sheet: 11)
> Fig. 3.1 - Existing Conditions
> Fig. 3.2 - Existing Conditions with aerial imagery
> Fig. 4 - Overall Impact Exhibit
> Impact Exhibit Inset— Inset 1
> Pre -Construction Notification & Supplemental Information
> USACE Wetland Data Forms (1 wetland form, 1 upland form)
> Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination request package (see PJD cover letter for list of PJD attachments)
PROJECT LOCATION/HABITAT: The project area is located at the intersection of NC Highway 5 and Allison Page Road
in the Town of Aberdeen, North Carolina within Moore County. The 21.63 -acre project area is comprised of one
parcel (Moore County PIN: 856011565342) owned by Duke Energy Progress, LLC.
The southern portion of the property is developed and includes two buildings, paved parking lots, a gravel storage
yard, and supporting infrastructure utilized by the Duke Energy Transmission Group. The parcel currently consists of
4.85 acres of impervious area (22.4 percent of the parcel area). The northern portion of the parcel is forested except
creating experiences through experience 1 of4

'J MCADAMS NATIONWIDE PERMIT 39/GC 4139 > DKE-17280
for an overhead utility easement that extends from Hwy 5 south to the developed portion of the parcel. Land use in
the vicinity includes commercial and light industrial uses on the north side of Hwy 5, and forested areas interspersed
with low density residential and commercial uses adjacent to the west, south, and east.
JURISDICTIONAL FEATURES: The project area is in the Aberdeen Creek Watershed (HUC 030402030202) within the
Lumber River basin. The subject property drains southwest and east to two unnamed tributaries to Aberdeen Creek,
which is designated Class C. The project area is depicted on both a current U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) map
(Figurel) and the Moore County NRCS Soil Survey (Figure 2). There are no stream features mapped on the USGS
map; There is one potential stream feature (Stream Feature A) depicted on the Soil Survey map.
McAdams staff conducted field investigations on June 28 and 29, 2017 with the objective of flagging streams and
wetlands (or Waters of U.S.) as defined by the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation
Manual. Based on our field investigations, one (1) potential headwater palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous
wetland Water of the U.S. was identified within the study area. A total of approximately 0.401 acres of wetland were
flagged. No stream features were identified within the study area. Figures 3.1 and 3.2 depict the surveyed extents of
the delineated wetland feature. The jurisdictional wetland and stream delineation performed by McAdams has not
been verified by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination is being
requested concurrently with this permit application. There are no state or local riparian buffer rules in effect for the
project area.
PROPOSED IMPACTS: Duke Energy Progress is proposing to modify the existing operations on the property with
construction of a new facility (approximately 11,586 sf) to accommodate the Transmission staff from the
Administration building as well as the Relay and Line and Service crews currently located at this site. A re -design of
the laydown area will also provide more efficient space for materials and a separate entrance and exit. In addition, a
new 15,360-sf Fleet Services Garage with four truck bays with pull-through access, along with a pull-through wash
bay will also be constructed. The existing garage on the lease property will be vacated.
The site was designed to minimize impacts to aquatic resources while making the necessary site improvements.
There is one area of wetland impact associated with the proposed site improvements. The proposed project will
result in 0.024 acres (1,037 sf) of wetland impact. No stream or riparian buffer impacts will result from this project.
All sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented before construction to minimize runoff. Typical
construction equipment, such as a long-arm track -hoe, front end loader, and bush hog will be used for the initial
clearing.

TOTAL PROPOSED WETLAND IMPACTS:

TOTAL
0.024 acres
AVOIDANCE and MINIMIZATION: Impacts to jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. have been minimized to the maximum
extent practicable. There are 0.024 acres of impacts to Wetland A associated with a proposed paved area adjacent
to the proposed fleet garage. Wetland impacts have been limited to less than six percent of the total 0.401 acres of
Wetland A. There are no proposed impacts to jurisdictional streams or riparian buffers. Because the total proposed
impacts to Waters of the U.S. are less than 1/10th of an acre, mitigation in the form of avoidance and minimization
is proposed.
Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and installation,
as described in the Erosion Control Plan sheets to be reviewed and approved by the NC Division of Land Resources
and/or the Town of Aberdeen. All work will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non -
jurisdictional, stable ground adjacent to the shoreline. The contractor shall install silt fence, inlet protection,
sediment traps, diversion ditches, tree protection, and other measures as shown on the erosion control plans,
clearing only as necessary to install these devices. All erosion and sediment control measures will be checked for
stability and operation following every runoff producing rainfall, but in no case less than once every week. Any
needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures designed. An erosion control inspections report is
required and will be kept by the owner's representative.
All slopes shall be graded no steeper than the angle that can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate
erosion control devices or structures. No material for construction will be placed in wetland or streams at any time.
Excavation will be limited to the area necessary for site preparation; all excavated material will be placed and
retained on high ground above the flood pool elevation. All excavated material will be placed landward of the
normal pool elevation contour on high ground and confined by adequate dikes or other retaining structures to
prevent erosion and sedimentation into adjacent streams and wetlands.
MITIGATION: There is less than 1/10 of an acre of total impacts to wetland waters of the U.S. on the site. There are
no proposed impacts to jurisdictional streams or riparian buffers. The applicant proposes mitigation in the form of
avoidance and minimization for impacts to waters of the U.S.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT: The proposed development will be subject to the stormwater management
performance standards for development set forth in the Town of Aberdeen Land Development Ordinance (Article
XVI, Section 152-263). A level spreader is proposed to meet the referenced standard. The proposed improvements
will result in an increase of approximately 3.65 acres of impervious area, bringing the total site impervious area to
8.50 acres. To mitigate the proposed development, a portion of the site drainage will be collected and directed to a

level spreader for treatment. The proposed facility is designed to treat runoff generated from a 0.75 in/hr storm
event with larger storms bypassing the facility.
Consideration of this project is greatly appreciated. If you should have any questions or require additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].

ABERDEEN TRANSMISSION HEADQUARTERS
ABERDEEN, NORTH CAROLINA
Section B. Project Information and Prior Project History
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 area is located at the intersection of NC Highway 5 and Allison Page Road in the Town of Aberdeen,
North Carolina within Moore County. The 21.63 -acre project area is comprised of one parcel (Moore County PIN:
856011565342) owned by Duke Energy Progress, LLC.
The southern portion of the property is developed and includes two buildings, paved parking lots, a gravel storage
yard, and supporting infrastructure utilized by the Duke Energy Transmission Group. The parcel currently consists of
4.85 acres of impervious area (22.4 percent of the parcel area). The northern portion of the parcel is forested except
for an overhead utility easement that extends from Hwy 5 south to the developed portion of the parcel. Land use in
the vicinity includes commercial and light industrial uses on the north side of Hwy 5, and forested areas interspersed
with low density residential and commercial uses adjacent to the west, south, and east.
The project area is in the Aberdeen Creek Watershed (HUC 030402030202) within the Lumber River basin. The
subject property drains southwest and east to two unnamed tributaries to Aberdeen Creek, which is designated
Class C. The project area is depicted on both a current U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) map (Figurel) and the Moore
County NRCS Soil Survey (Figure 2). There are no stream features mapped on the USGS map; There is one potential
stream feature (Stream Feature A) depicted on the Soil Survey map.
McAdams staff conducted field investigations on June 28 and 29, 2017 with the objective of flagging streams and
wetlands (or Waters of U.S.) as defined by the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wetland Delineation
Manual. Based on our field investigations one (1) potential headwater palustrine forested broad-leaved deciduous
wetland Water of the U.S. was identified within the study area. A total of approximately 0.401 acres of wetland were
flagged. No stream features were identified within the study area. Figures 3.1 and 3.2 depict the surveyed extents of
the delineated wetland feature. The jurisdictional wetland and stream delineation performed by McAdams has not
been verified by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). A Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination is being
requested concurrently with this permit application. There are no state or local riparian buffer rules in effect for the
project area.
3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the proposed project is to modify and expand the existing Aberdeen Transmission Headquarters
facility to accommodate the Transmission staff from the Administration Building as well as the Relay and Line and
Service crews currently located at this site.

Duke Energy Progress is proposing to modify the existing operations on the property with construction of a new
facility (approximately 11,586 sf) to accommodate the Transmission staff from the Administration building as well as
the Relay and Line & Service crews currently located at this site. A re -design of the laydown area will also provide
more efficient space for materials, and a separate entrance and exit. In addition, a new 15,360-sf Fleet Services
Garage with four truck bays with pull-through access, along with a pull-through wash bay will also be constructed.
The existing garage on the lease property will be vacated.
The site was designed to minimize impacts to aquatic resources while making the necessary site improvements.
There is one area of wetland impact associated with the proposed site improvements. The proposed project will
result in 0.024 acres (1,037 sf) of wetland impact. No stream or riparian buffer impacts will result from this project.
All sedimentation and erosion control measures will be implemented before construction to minimize runoff. Typical
construction equipment, such as a long-arm track -hoe, front end loader, and bush hog will be used for the initial
clearing.
Section D. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing project.
Impacts to jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. have been minimized to the maximum extent practicable. There are
0.024 acres of impacts to Wetland A associated with a proposed paved area adjacent to the proposed fleet garage.
Wetland impacts have been limited to less than six percent of the total 0.401 acres of Wetland A. There are no
proposed impacts to jurisdictional streams or riparian buffers. Because the total proposed impacts to Waters of the
U.S. are less than 1/10th of an acre, mitigation in the form of avoidance and minimization is proposed.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques.
The proposed development will be subject to the stormwater management performance standards for development
set forth in the Town of Aberdeen Land Development Ordinance (Article XVI, Section 152-263). A level spreader is
proposed to meet the referenced standard. The proposed improvements will result in an increase of approximately
3.65 acres of impervious area, bringing the total site impervious area to 8.50 acres. To mitigate the proposed
development, a portion of the site drainage will be collected and directed to a level spreader for treatment. The
proposed facility is designed to treat runoff generated from a 0.75 in/hr storm event with larger storms bypassing
the facility.
Proper sedimentation and erosion control methods will be utilized during all phases of construction and installation,
as described in the Erosion Control Plan sheets to be reviewed and approved by the NC Division of Land Resources
and/or the Town of Aberdeen. All work will take place during dry conditions and can be facilitated from high, non -
jurisdictional, stable ground adjacent to the shoreline. The contractor shall install silt fence, inlet protection,
sediment traps, diversion ditches, tree protection, and other measures as shown on the erosion control plans,
clearing only as necessary to install these devices. All erosion and sediment control measures will be checked for
stability and operation following every runoff producing rainfall, but in no case less than once every week. Any

needed repairs will be made immediately to maintain all measures designed. An erosion control inspections report is
required and will be kept by the owner's representative.
All slopes shall be graded no steeper than the angle that can be retained by vegetative cover or other adequate
erosion control devices or structures. No material for construction will be placed in wetland or streams at any time.
Excavation will be limited to the area necessary for site preparation; all excavated material will be placed and
retained on high ground above the flood pool elevation. All excavated material will be placed landward of the
normal pool elevation contour on high ground and confined by adequate dikes or other retaining structures to
prevent erosion and sedimentation into adjacent streams and wetlands.
Section F. Supplementary Information
5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or
Designated Critical Habitat?
The USFWS IPaC web tool (https:Hecos.fws.gov/ipac/) and the NC Natural Heritage Program Data Explorer
(http://ncnhde.natureserve.org/content/map) were accessed on December 5, 2017 to determine if the project
would impact Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitat. An official species list for the project area was
generated using the USFWS IPaC regulatory review tool. The official species list identified the red -cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), Cape Fear shiner (Notropis mekistocholas), American chaffseed (Schwalbea
americana), and Michaux's sumac (Rhus michauxii) as federally listed species that may occur within the project area.
There are no critical habitats within the project area. Based on field inspections, it is believed that no adverse
impacts to threatened and endangered species and their known habitat will occur due to the construction of the
proposed project.
7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological
resources?
A review of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office interactive map (http://gis.ncdcr.gov/hpoweb/),
which shows the locations of properties and districts in Moore County, North Carolina entered in the National
Register of Historic Places, conducted on December 5, 2017 did not reveal any listings within the project area. It is
believed the proposed project will not occur in or near an area that has been designated as having historic or
cultural preservation status by the state, federal, or tribal governments.
