This 8 -mile segment of pipeline (Line 443) is being constructed along a 50 -foot right of way. At the conclusion of the project, the line will be used to back -feed natural gas to the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area. Line 443 will conclude at a regulator station and tie-in to existing infrastructure to provide natural gas at 60 psi near Highway 158. This correspondence is providing a response to the Notice of Violation (NOV) referenced above for the Line 443 project. Although the July 3, 2018 NOV did not require a written response, Piedmont is providing this response to highlight the significant improvements that have been made at the site. Specifically, the NOV outlines reported sediment releases that were made to the wetlands and unnamed tributaries of Leonard Creek, Elisha Creek, Dutchman Creek, Noland Creek and Cedar Creek, all of which are Class C waters of the state. The violations that were noted include the following: 1. Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B. 0211 (2) requires that "The waters shall be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture; sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or long-term basis shall be considered to be violating a water quality standard." Ms. Sherri V. Knight July 12, 2018 Page 2 2. Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B. 0211 (12) requires that "Oils; deleterious substances; colored or other wastes: only such amounts as shall not render the water injurious to public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and wildlife or adversely affect the palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any designated uses;" 3. Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code 02B. 0231 (b)(1) Liquids, fill or other solids or dissolved gases may not be present in amounts which may cause adverse impacts on existing wetland uses; (5) Hydrological conditions necessary to support the biological and physical characteristics naturally present in wetlands shall be protected to prevent adverse impacts on: (C)The chemical, nutrient and dissolved oxygen regime of the wetland; (D) The movement of aquatic fauna; (F) Water levels or elevations 4. 401 Water Quality Certification #20180087 was issued to you on March 13, 2018 and reissued as #20180087v2 on May 8, 2018. These approvals authorized the use of General Certification No. GC0004133 for the project. Condition No. 11.5 states that all construction activities shall be performed and maintained in full compliance with the Sediment and Pollution Control Act. The correspondence requires the following to address these violations: 1. Immediately take all appropriate actions as identified by the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources to retain sediment on site. 2. The Division is in receipt of a Sediment Removal Plan dated June 26, 2018 for restoration of a stream, wetlands and private pond which are tributaries to Noland Creek and are identified as Stream 19 on site plans. The Division has already approved this sediment release plan by email correspondence dated June 29, 2018. You shall notify the Division upon commencement of stream/wetland/pond restoration activities. Piedmont Response As referenced above, the project also received a NOV issued by the Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR) dated June 21, 2018. Our response to this NOV has been included as Attachment A to this letter. Our response to DEMLR provides a detailed summary of the ongoing activities at the site and the restoration efforts that have been completed on the right-of-way. These efforts are continuing and the project schedule has been modified to accelerate pipeline installation in the areas of the corridor where the referenced stream crossing are located. Once the pipeline is installed, final seeding can be installed, which is the best measure to prevent any further releases. Additionally, the following actions have been taken: Ms. Sherri V. Knight July 12, 2018 Page 3 • Water bars have been reconstructed in accordance with the approved design. Additional sediment basins have been added to the lowest end of the slope to provide additional retention and a mechanism for settling. • Where needed, the project added matting and/or excelsior wattles in the mid-section of the water bar to minimize scouring and to deliver polyacrylamide, if needed. • Best management practices have been implemented throughout the site. This includes measures such as tracking spoil piles to provide a compact surface and minimize the amount of loose soil. The tracks will also provide "mini" water bars to help slow the flow of water, and seed along with adequate quantities of mulch are being applied. • The pipeline installation sequence was modified to allow for the trenching, installation, and backfill to be completed in the sensitive areas that have had the majority of the release events. • Construction entrances have been cleaned and additional stone added to each entrance to minimize track -out from the site. • The use of "F -hooks have been evaluated on the silt fence at the bottom of the slopes. These hooks along with wattles and polyacrylamide will provide additional capture and settling. • Site documentation has been updated concurrent with the site restoration to ensure that the plans accurately reflect site conditions. In addition to completing the efforts that were presented in our response to DEMLR, a plan to restore impacted wetlands, a stream, and a private pond which are tributaries to Noland Creek was developed and presented to DWR. As this off right-of-way effort proceeds, we will provide periodic updates to your office. Currently, this work is scheduled to begin on July 16, 2018. We will notify you prior to commencement of stream/wetland/pond restoration activities. To date, efforts have been focused on stabilizing the right-of-way to minimize the likelihood of additional releases prior to beginning remediation of these offsite locations. A copy of the restoration plan is also included in Attachment A to this letter. Ms. Sherri V. Knight July 12, 2018 Page 4 Closing As detailed in this correspondence and in Attachment A, the Piedmont project team has taken significant effort to return the site to conditions as required by the approved E&SC plans. All project personnel have been coached on the importance of permit compliance and maintaining good housekeeping practices throughout the site. We encourage DEQ personnel to return to the site to observe these improved conditions. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hestiate to contact Ms. Cynthia Winston, P.E. at (919) 546-5538 or Cynthia.Winston@duke-energy.com. Sincerely, Victor M.

Piedmont is constructing a 6 -inch natural gas transmission line (Line 443) from Mocksville, North Carolina to Bermuda Run, North Carolina. This 8 -mile segment of pipeline is being constructed along a 50 -foot right of way. At the conclusion of the project, the line will be used to back -feed natural gas to the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area. Line 443 will conclude at a regulator station and tie-in to existing infrastructure to provide natural gas at 60 psi near Highway 158. Due to rapid growth and increased usage in the area, the existing pipelines cannot not meet demand at the needed pressures. Sediment Release Events from the Project To complete this effort, approximately 94 acres of land disturbance is required. This work is being done under Permit No. DAVIE-2018-012. The project began in April 2018 and is scheduled to be placed in service by August 2018. Given the steep terrain of the proposed route, and an exceptionally wet Spring, the project has experienced a series of off right -of way sediment releases. Each of these reported events is summarized below: • On Monday, May 21, 2018, an erosion and sediment control inspection was conducted following several consecutive days of rain. There were four areas where sediment reached waters of the state as follows: 1. Station 43+08 — Delineated Wetland 2. Station 89+54 — Delineated Wetland and Stream — Stream S8 3. Station 149+83 — Delineated, Wetland Stream and Pond — Stream S 12 4. Station 201+03 — Delineated Wetland — Elisha's Creek Mr. Matt Gantt July 3, 2018 Page 2 • On Monday, May 28, 2018, Duke -Energy's Environmental Field Support, was notified by the project's Environmental Field Inspection sub -contractor, about erosion and sediment control release following consecutive days of rain on already saturated soils. The sediment releases occurred at the following locations: 1. Station 43+47 — Delineated Wetland 2. Station 55+36 — Stream 3. Station 89+54 — Delineated Wetland and Stream — Stream S8 4. Station 98+87 — Stream 5. Station 149+83 —Delineated Wetland, Stream, and Pond —Stream S12 6. Station 168+00 — Stream 7. Station 187+40 — Stream 8. Station 201+03 — Delineated Wetland — Elisha's Creek 9. Station 215+03 — Stream On Monday, June 4, 2018, Duke -Energy's Carolina's Permitting and Compliance department was notified by the NC Department of Environmental Quality of impacts to a property owner's pond, adjacent wetlands and a stream that resulted from the same storm events causing the sediment releases reported on May 29, 2018. • On Tuesday, June 13, 2018, Duke -Energy's Environmental Field Support was notified by the project's Environmental Field Inspection sub -contractor 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: 1. Station 55+82 — Stream 2. Station 89+54 — Delineated Wetland and Stream — Stream S8 3. Station 168+00 — Stream 4. Station 187+24 — Stream 5. Station 201+03 — Delineated Wetland — Elisha's Creek 6. Station 215+03 — Stream (rock/flume crossing) 7. Station 293+80 — Sediment release to wetland On Friday, June 22, 2018, Duke -Energy's Environmental Field Support was notified by the project's Environmental Field Inspection sub -contractor about additional impacts at the following locations after overnight storms passed through the area: 1. Station 89+54 — Delineated Wetland and Stream — Stream S8 2. Station 168+00 — Stream 3. Station 215+03 — Stream (rock/flume crossing) 4. Station 248+90 — North of Sain Rd., Creek crossing (McLamrock Pond) soils impact 5. Station 319+86 — Upland soils impact in wetland Mr. Matt Gantt July 3, 2018 Page 3 • On Tuesday, June 26, 2018, Duke -Energy's Environmental Field Support was notified by the project's Environmental Field Inspection sub -contractor about erosion and sediment control releases following an intense rain event that occurred the previous evening. 1. Station 39+73 — Sediment release to stream 2. Station 43+47 — Sediment release to wetland 3. Station 55+76 — Sediment release to stream 4. Station 89+61 — Sediment release to stream 5. Station 150+39 — Sediment release to stream 6. Station 167+50 — Sediment release to stream 7. Station 183+00 — Sediment release reached off right-of-way pond 8. Station 187+43 — Sediment release to stream 9. Station 201+07 — Sediment release to wetland (Elisha Creek) 10. Station 214+61 — Sediment release to stream Notice of Violation On June 25, 2018 Piedmont received a Notice of Violation (NOV) for the reported events. The document cites violations of the Sediment Pollution Control Act (SPCA) and the General Permit (NCG-010000) to Discharge Stormwater under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) for Construction Activities (i.e., Construction Stormwater General Permit). In this NOV, a response to the violations is required within 10 days from receipt of the document via Certified Mail. Specifically, the NOV outlines five infractions of the SPCA and one violation of the Construction Stormwater General Permit. These are as follows: 1. Failure to conduct land -disturbing activity in accordance with the approved erosion and sedimentation control plan. (G.S. 113A-57(5)). 2. Failure when a land -disturbing activity that will disturb more than one acre is undertaken on a tract, to install sedimentation and erosion control devices sufficient to retain the sediment generated by the land -disturbing activity within the boundaries of the tract during construction upon and development of the tract. (G.S. 113A-57(3)). 3. Failure to take all reasonable measures to protect all public and private property from damage by such land -disturbing activities. (15A NCAC 4B .0105). 4. Failure to install and maintain all temporary and permanent erosion and sedimentation control measures as required by the approved plan or any provision of the SPCA, and rules adopted thereunder, during or after the development of a site. (15A NCAC 4B .0113). 5. Failure to retain along a lake or natural watercourse a buffer zone of sufficient width to confine visible siltation by natural or artificial means within the 25percent of that portion of the buffer zone nearest the land -disturbing activity. (G.S. 113A-57(1)). 6. Failure to operate and maintain control measures. The Permittee shall at all times properly operate and maintain all control measures and systems of treatment and control (and related appurtenances) which are installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this general permit. (NCG 010000, Section IV, 1). Mr. Matt Gantt July 3, 2018 Page 4 The document requires that the following actions be completed within 10 days of receiving this NOV and that Piedmont provide additional detail on the following items in reference to the SPCA: 1. Remove all accumulated sediment from silt fence and silt fence outlet areas. Reinstall all silt fence outlets per the construction detail shown on sheet 28 of 32 of the approved plans dated February 16, 2018. Response: There are approximately 140 silt fence outlets shown on the design plans. Crews have been working diligently on the right-of-way to remove all accumulated sediment. As a temporary measure to minimize the likelihood of additional releases, some silt fence outlets had been reinforced with straw bales on the outlet side of the structures. As crews have been working the length of the project, the straw bale measures are being removed and the outlets are being repaired to the referenced specification. Specifically, wattles are being installed at the outlet structures and the openings are being reinforced with a woven wire backing. Where there is adequate space on the right-of-way, sediment pits are being added to the inlet side of the silt fence outlet (per detail shown on sheet 28 of 32). In many cases, coir -fiber baffles have been added to the sediment pits to aid in the capture and settling of suspended material. These baffle details are not shown on the detail but provide added sediment measures as a best management practice. 2. Repair all of the damaged water bars along the project alignment and reconstruct them per the construction detail shown on sheet 30 of 32 of the approved plans dated February 16, 2018. Response: As mentioned earlier, this project right-of-way is characterized by a number of steep slopes. On each of these slopes, water bars are used to slow the flow of water and to direct the flow to a silt fence outlet. During the course of construction, some of these water bars shifted from their intended design (i.e. height, compaction, and slope). The contractor has been working to reconstruct all of these water bars in accordance with the approved design. As mentioned in Item No. 1, additional sediment pits have been added to the lowest end of the slope to provide additional retention and a mechanism for settling. Where needed, the project's Environmental Engineer with S&ME will direct the contractor to add excelsior wattles with excelsior splash pads (if needed) in the mid- section of the water bar and to apply polyacrylamide to aid in sediment dropout. The addition of polyacrylamide is not referenced on the plans but is being applied as a best management practice. Mr. Matt Gantt July 3, 2018 Page 5 3. Complete ground stabilization of inactive areas per the NPDES Construction Storm Water Permit. The table that specifies NPDES ground cover requirements is shown on sheet 3 of 32 of the approved plans dated February 16, 2018. Response: As the crews are repairing the silt fence and silt fence outlets. They are completing temporary and permanent stabilization of the project when possible around the pipeline construction activities. To date, the pipeline work is complete from Station 01+00 through Station 89+61, and from 142+50 to 193+00. Therefore, seeding contractors have completed permanent stabilization for these areas. In other areas of the project, Piedmont along with S&ME's engineer will be evaluating the right-of-way topography to combine best management practices to determine temporary stabilization in an effort to improve the performance of the right-of-way. This includes measures such as tracking spoil piles to provide a compact surface and minimize the amount of loose soil. The tracks will also provide "mini" water bars to help slow the flow of water, and seed along with adequate quantities of mulch are being applied. Although not directly related to ground stabilization, the pipeline installation sequence has been changed to allow for the trenching, installation, and backfill to be completed in the sensitive areas that have had the majority of the release events. By completing construction in these areas sooner, it has allowed seeding contractors to apply permanent seed in these areas ahead of the current schedule. Temporary seeding will be completed at the following rates: millet at 50 lb/acre, limestone 2,000 lb/acre, 7501b/acre of 10-10-10 fertilizer, and straw mulch. The seeding contractor will ensure that appropriate rates to achieve a 90-100% coverage of exposed soil with the straw mulch are achieved. In areas of welding, the straw mulch is being removed on a daily basis to prevent potential fire hazards. Regarding final stabilization, rolled erosion control product (RECP) on all slopes of 50% will be used. The RECP will be designed with properties to accommodate these aggressive slopes. Curlex 1 or SEC 150 Bio net, as specified in the plans, meets this requirement. Any final slopes greater than 50% will require a more robust RECP. Installation with anchor trench and extensive stapling will be completed per detail on Sheet 32. 4. Submit an acceptable restoration plan to this office for review and approval. The restoration plan must address areas where sedimentation has been deposited off of the approved right-of-way for the project. According to correspondence received from Duke Energy received on June 15, 2018, these areas would include, but not limited to, stations 55+82, 89+54, 168+00, 187+24, 201+03, 215+03, and 293+80. Response: Given the similar terrain at each of these locations and that the water flow exits into similar natural features (i.e., wetlands and streams), the restoration plan for the referenced locations and stations that have had releases since the beginning of construction is the same and is as follows: Mr. Matt Gantt July 3, 2018 Page 6 • Water bars are being properly installed on slope faces. In addition to a properly installed water bar, silt fence outlets are being repaired to conform with the design specifications, and where possible, sediment pits are being installed per the plans to allow for on right- of-way retention (detail shown on sheet 28 of 32). Coir -fiber baffles have been added to provide additional settling mechanisms as a best management practice. • Contract personnel have been educated on the benefits of polyacrylamide products to provide flocculation of sediment which will also enhance on right-of-way settling of any material. • Collected sediment on bridges is being collected and removed. • Good housekeeping practices are being reinforced with all contract personnel. As structures are repaired and cleaned following a rain event, collected material is being placed in up -gradient locations where it is less likely to overwhelm the structures in future rain events. • Construction entrances have been cleaned and additional stone added as needed to each entrance to minimize track -out from the right-of-way. • The use of "F -hooks have been evaluated on the silt fence at the bottom of the slopes. These hooks along with wattles and polyacrylamide will provide additional capture and settling. Polyacrylamide will be used on up -gradient sediment control measures, reserving the outlet locations for final settling after seeding is applied and Curlex is applied to the water bars. Contract personnel have been working diligently to ensure the right-of-way is in compliance with the approved design plans and that additional measures have been installed. The project team has had the S&ME environmental engineers walk the right-of-way to provide additional guidance, as well as, a recognized industry expert to provide observations. Effective July 4, 2018, the repairs and best management practices mentioned herein are being installed during the pipeline construction activities or have been completed. Under the violations of the Construction Stormwater General Permit, Piedmont is required to address the following as part of their response: 1. The date by which the corrective actions listed above have been or will be completed. Response: The project is still in active construction and restoration efforts are on-going. The contractor is working diligently in a safe and responsible manner to complete the restoration per the project plans and specifications. As of July 4, 2018 the contractor has temporarily or permanently restored the exposed right-of-way paying particular attention to the water crossings and other environmentally sensitive areas. Construction personnel have been coached on the project expectations and the permit requirements to help prevent future occurrences. Additionally, inspections of the right-of-way have been increased. Mr. Matt Gantt July 3, 2018 Page 7 2. A plan of action to prevent future violations. Response: As mentioned above, the project is still in active construction. Right-of-way personnel have been coached on the project expectations and permit requirements to help prevent future occurrences. The contractor has brought in additional environmental crews including Sequoia Services to support right-of-way restoration and specialized seeding contractor, Sides Seeding to support the right-of-way restoration. Expectations are reinforced and documented as part of the daily pre job brief to ensure personnel are aware of the requirements. Duke -Energy's and S&ME's Environmental Field Support personnel are visiting the right-of-way more frequently to provide oversight and a fresh set of eyes to review ongoing activities. Example installations of the control measures has been completed on the right-of-way so that project personnel can see what the final measure should look like. 3. A plan for restoration of sedimentation damage. Response: The contractor is working to remedy off right-of-way sediment in using hand tools to minimize any additional impact to the environmentally sensitive areas. There has been one sediment impact to a neighboring pond. S&ME has developed a restoration plan for the pond which has been reviewed and is in agreement by the pond's landowner and Sue Homewood of the Department of Water Quality. A copy of this document is included as Attachment A to this correspondence. 4. Reasons why a civil penalty should not be assessed. Response: As the Department evaluates the need for a civil penalty, Piedmont requests consideration of the following additional information relevant to the factors set out in G.S. 143-215.6A(c). Due to the rapid response described above, there will be no lasting harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violations. Impacts to streams and wetlands have been corrected by the thorough removal of the released sediment. To the extent latent impacts are identified in the next several months, they will be addressed in cooperation with DEQ. The rapid response further ensured that the violation was brief. The company has been transparent about the issues on the right-of-way and made timely verbal and written notifications to DEMLR, DWR, and ACOE. Further, the company has invested a significant amount of resources to ensure that impacts were quickly addressed. We recognize the importance of implementing quality erosion and sediment control measures. Our employees and contractors are trained to avoid releases regardless of costs or impacts to project schedule. The releases have been accidental and unintentional, and Piedmont is implementing the steps described above to ensure that it does not happen again. Mr. Matt Gantt July 3, 2018 Page 8 Closing As detailed in this correspondence, the project team has taken significant effort to return the right-of-way to conditions as required by the approved E&SC plans and have been coached on the importance of permit compliance and maintaining good housekeeping practices throughout the right-of-way. To be fully transparent, we do not have all E&SC measures completed as required by the direction of the NOV. We are proactively applying best management practices in the areas that are still in construction in a safe and deliberate manner. We are committed to doing this with the highest level of quality in the most expedient way. With the dry weather we have had over the past week or so, we have made substantial progress to clean the areas where off right-of-way sediment occurred and to install the E&SC measures per plan. We ask for some leniency from the state during the upcoming site inspections. I am confident that you will notice tremendous progress and would respectfully request additional time for effective completion of all E&SC measures as required by the NOV. As a result of this incident, we will be applying best management E&SC practices to all of our natural gas projects. We appreciate your collaboration in helping us improve our performance. We encourage DEQ personnel to return to the right-of-way to observe these improved conditions. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hestiate to contact Ms. Cynthia Winston, P.E. at (919) 546-5538 or cynthia.winston@duke-energy.com. Sincerely, 1� - X. Victor M. Gaglio Sr. Vice President, Chief Operating Officer Natural Gas CC: Tom Morris Piedmont Natural Gas Attachment A Corrective Measures and Proposed Sediment Removal Activities Neighboring Pond DUKE ENERGY June 26, 2018 North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Winston Salem Regional Office 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300 Winston-Salem, NC 27105 Attention: Tim Latham Senior Environmental Specialist Subject: Piedmont Natural Gas Clemmons Area Upgrade Project Sediment Removal Plan ESC Permit DAVIE-2018-012 USACE Action ID SAW -2018-00459 DWR Project No. 20180087 Dear Mr. Latham: Duke Energy Corporation 4720 Piedmont Row Drive Charlotte, NC 28210 Duke Energy hereby submits this Sediment Removal Plan in response to release of sediment to an off right-of-way (ROW) property that occurred during construction of the Piedmont Natural Gas Line 443 Pipeline Project. This plan was prepared to address clean-up and remediation activities in accordance with the recommendations provided by Sue Homewood during her June 5, 2018 site visit and assessment of the affected off ROW areas. Background Duke Energy is in the process of installing a segment of six-inch diameter steel natural gas transmission pipeline that is approximately 7.2 miles in length in a 50' wide permanent ROW easement. The construction contractor working on behalf of Duke is Progressive Pipeline. The Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) Plan for the project was approved by the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) on February 16, 2018 (Project ID Davie 2018-12). Temporary impacts to on-site waters and wetlands were originally authorized by the NCDEQ - Division of Water Resources (DWR) on March 13, 2017 (Project No. 20180087), and by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on March 18, 2018 (SAW -201800459). Clearing of the new easement began around April 23, 2018. Since that time, nearly ten inches of rainfall has been recorded at the project site. During the week of May 14, 2018, approximately 4.3 inches of rainfall were recorded, including a single three-inch rainfall event that occurred in a period of less than two hours on May 18, 2018, and on May 26, a rain event exceeding one inch in an approximately 45 minute period was recorded. Duke promptly notified NCDEQ of several sediment releases associated with the respective rainfall events. The project's environmental field support crews immediately mobilized to remove any resultant Clemmons Area Upgrade Project Sediment Removal Plan sediment that was observed in streams or wetlands crossed by the project. Remedial measures and additional E&SC devices installed to inhibit further off-site sediment releases were documented in a June 1, 2018 notification letter provided to NCDEQ by Duke. In addition to Ms. Homewood's review of the cleanup efforts associated with those sediment releases, a second purpose of the June 5, 2018 site visit was to observe more -recently identified off-site impacts to Stream 19 and a pond located north of the easement. Stream 19 is an unnamed perennial tributary to Noland Creek (DWR Index No. 12-102-12, Class C Waters) and crosses the easement at a point approximately 850 feet north of Sain Road (35.927253° / 80.529650°) on Davie County Parcel No. 5749759853. The stream flows north of the easement through a wooded portion of Parcel No. 5749769372 and eventually to an in-line pond located on Parcel No. 5749772809, approximately 900 feet north of the easement. The general project location of Stream 19 is depicted on the Site Vicinity Exhibit (Figure 1), and in further detail on a Sediment Removal Plan Exhibit (Figure 2). The release of sediment to Stream 19 was likely attributed to the May 18, 2018 event, when a portion of silt fence was overtopped. Following the release, sediment was removed from the stream channel by the contractor. However, additional sediment that was located in an upstream area not visible from the easement was observed during the June 5, 2018 site visit. Sediment located there was likely re -mobilized during the May 26, 2018 event and washed downstream, eventually into the off-site pond. Because a majority of the sediment that washed through Stream 19 settled out on the floodplain near the pond, well downstream of the easement, the release was not originally observed by environmental support staff. Duke was later made aware of the release by the property owner. Site Observations Present at the June 5, 2018 site visit were Sue Homewood (NCDEQ-DWR), Michael Reikowsky and Chris Friel (Duke Energy), Cody Gavranovic (Chief Environmental Inspector with EnSite), Joey Lawler (Natural Resources Project Manager with S&ME), along with personnel from Progressive Pipeline. Construction and E&SC maintenance activities was on-going within the subject portion of the easement at the time of the meeting. An equipment crossing and associated E&SC measures had been installed across Stream 19. Downstream of the easement, the upper reaches of Stream 19 are located within a relatively confined valley. Segments of the stream exhibited a slightly -incised channel, but areas of significant erosion or bank scour were not observed. Lower reaches of the stream, from approximately 800' downstream of the easement to the pond, are not incised, and the channel becomes more sinuous, with ample floodplain access. In general, the channel width ranged from 3-6 feet, with the normal substrate ranging from sand to mixed gravel/cobble. Personnel present at the meeting walked the length of Stream 19 from the easement to the on- site pond in order to observe its condition and note areas where cleanup activities were warranted. Portions of the stream where sediment consisted of only a fine film were also noted. In general, construction -related sediment in quantities that warranted removal and further disturbance was observed at several locations, generally behind debris jams or similar channel blockages. 2 Clemmons Area Upgrade Project Sediment Removal Plan Sediment accumulation was also observed within the floodplain of Stream 19 upstream of its confluence with the off-site pond, and within a portion of the pond itself. In this area, sediment appeared to range from one-two inches in depth on the flood plain.l[MTE11 Ms. Homewood and Mr. Lawler also walked Stream 19 upstream of the easement crossing and observed conditions similar to those observed in the downstream portion. Additional sediment was observed in a small wetland area (approximately 0.10 -acre) located approximately 200 feet upstream of the easement. Sediment in this area likely originated from a silt -fence or outlet failure along the adjacent cut slope on the east side of the easement. Corrective Measures and Proposed Sediment Removal Activities During the site visit, a two -phased approach to addressing the sediment release was proposed. The first phase involved additional stabilization measures to prevent further erosion and off-site sediment impacts. The contractor is also planning to selectively introduce environmentally friendly flocculants as a passive treatment system on the project site to enhance sediment settling on sediment control measures on the project site. No flocculants will be used in jurisdictional areas. Remediation that requires work outside of the easement or on adjacent properties affected by the release is being arranged with the respective owners by Duke Energy. Environmental field crews have been actively undertaking maintenance and installation of additional E&SC measures since the time of the respective rain events. To provide immediate protection and prevent further impacts, cleaning and maintenance was performed on the existing silt fence outlet structures along the easement north of Sain Road. A second row of silt fence was also installed along the east side of the easement at the base of the cut slope. At the recommendation of Ms. Homewood, environmental field crews have installed four in - stream check dams (staked filter socks) in Stream 19 to intercept additional remnant sediment or that which was created during upstream cleanup activities. Two of the checkdams are located at the downstream corner of the easement, and two others are constructed between the easement and the off-site pond. The checkdams are being maintained and inspected on a daily basis, and accumulated sediment removed. A Temporary Checkdam Detail is included in Appendix I. Environmental field crews will then remove sediment from the off-site wetland upstream of S19 in areas where greater than approximately '/2 inch can be discerned from the native substrate. Sediment appearing to consist of a fine film or less than that which can be removed without creating a greater disturbance may remain. Sediment removed from the wetland will be transported to the easement or a suitable high ground location and stabilized. A Sediment Stockpile Stabilization detail is included in Appendix I. Affected areas will then be seeded and mulched with a native wetland seed mix (Appendix II). The additional E&SC measures will remain in place until project completion and Land Resources has approved their removal according to Construction Stormwater Permit NCG 010000. Duke Energy will notify NCDEQ so that work can be inspected. After installation, all E&SC measures will be maintained in proper working order until the site is completely stabilized. 3 Clemmons Area Upgrade Project Sediment Removal Plan The second phase involves removal of construction -related sediment from the off-site pond and portions of Stream 19 on the adjacent property. In addition to NCDEQ approval, the measures proposed in this plan will also require approval from the subject property owner. We understand that NCDEQ will allow sediment removal activities associated with the pond to be deferred until such time as property owner approval has been obtained. Sediment removal activities in the pond will first consist of installation of a Type I turbidity curtain across the upper portion of the pond. The proposed location of the turbidity curtain is depicted on Figure 2, or as otherwise determined by environmental staff in the field. The purpose of the turbidity curtain will be to isolate the area of greatest sediment concentration from deeper, less - affected portions of the pond, and inhibit further siltation that might otherwise occur during cleanup activities. Environmental field crews overseen by Duke's Energy's environmental support staff will then employ buckets, shovels, and wheelbarrows to manually remove discernible construction - related sediment from Stream 19 and the off-site pond, including additional sediment that may have migrated downstream or has mobilized during performance of upstream cleanup activities. The sediment will be removed to a point where the original soil surface can be observed, and care will be taken to avoid removal of native bed materials. Minor amounts of introduced sediment can be left in place to better preserve existing, native bed and pond -bottom material, based on conditions and the judgement of personnel conducting the work. Personnel will then transport the removed material to a suitable high ground location well away from the stream and its associated floodplain. The stockpiled sediment will then be stabilized in accordance with the detail provided (staked natural fiber wattles, mulched and seeded). Areas of exposed soil that may be temporarily disturbed during performance of the work will be re -stabilized with seed and mulch as appropriate upon completion of the sediment removal activities. If erosion control matting is placed on any portion of the streambanks, it will consist of natural biodegradable mats made of natural fibers (free of plastic netting). In the event it is determined that the underlying pond substrate may be too fluid to allow safe removal of construction -related sediment by hand labor, Duke Energy may re-evaluate the plan and determine if use of a vacuum truck or pump system is practicable. In such an event, NCDEQ and the property owner will be notified of the revised method of sediment removal. Following removal of construction -related sediment from the upper reaches of the pond, disturbed areas will be seeded with the native wetland seed mix, while disturbed upland areas/streambanks, and adjacent floodplain of Stream 19, will be seeded with a native riparian seed mix and allowed to naturally revegetate. A copy of the native seed mixes is included in Appendix II. Following final stabilization of the easement, the temporary check dams will be removed. Duke Energy anticipates that sediment removal activities identified herein will commence as soon as practicable upon approval of this plan by NCDEQ and the affected landowner, and will be carried out to completion in an expeditious manner, pending weather conditions. Upon completion of the work, conditions within Stream 19 and the off-site pond will be re -documented, and NCDEQ will be notified such that the site can be reviewed for compliance and results of the sediment removal activities assessed at your discretion. 4 Clemmons Area Upgrade Project Sediment Removal Plan We hope that this Sediment Removal Plan adequately addresses the concerns expressed by NCDEQ and the affected landowner. Please do not hesitate to contact to answer questions or provide additional information.
