Latham Senior Environmental Specialist Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality 450 West Hanes Mill Road Suite 300 Winston Salem, NC 27105 Subject: Piedmont Natural Gas Clemmons Area Upgrade Project Sediment Release from 5-28-18 Inspection ESC Permit DAVIE-2018-012 USACE Action ID SAW -2018-00459 Dear Mr. Latham: Duke Energy Corporation 4720 Piedmont Row Drive Charlotte, NC 28210 Please accept this letter as the written follow-up to the notification made to Tim Latham, Sue Homewood and Bryan Roden -Reynolds on June 13, 2018 at 7:51 am regarding the Piedmont Natural Gas Clemmons Area Upgrade Pipeline project in Davie County, North Carolina. On Tuesday, June 13, 2018, the Environmental Field Support was notified about erosion and sediment control releases following an intense rain event that occurred the previous evening. Despite the addition of extra erosion and sediment control BMPs the previous week, there were multiple sediment releases as follows: Station 55+82 — sediment release to stream Station 89+54 — sediment release to stream/wetland Station 168+00 — sediment release to stream Station 187+24 — sediment release to stream Station 201+03 — sediment release to wetland Station 215+03 — sediment release to stream (rock/flume crossing) Station 293+80 — sediment release to wetland Upon discovery of the releases crews immediately focused on removing deposited sediment from the above locations by hand. The intense rain event from 6/11/18 overwhelmed areas of silt fence and these areas were repaired, additional silt fence was added, wattles were replaced and slope breakers were repaired. Temporary stabilization measures (seeding) have been taken in select locations. The project team is also evaluating areas where additional slope breakers can be added and they are in the process of installing silt fence outlets in critical locations per Tim Latham's guidance from the 6/13/18 inspection of the project site. sodim®nl n000so lion, b�2e• IB Inovovion Please do not hesitate to contact Melanie Gardner at (919) 621-3177 or Melanie.Gardner@duke-energy.com if you have questions or need additional information.
