Colonial Pipeline Company Exposed Pipe Maintenance
Langdale Drive Site
Line 1- Station No. 5299+5o and Line 2 - Station 5310+44
Guilford County, North Carolina
WEC Project No. 02-041901
Dear Mr. Tugwell:
On behalf of our client; Colonial Pipeline Company, Wetland & Ecological Consultants
(WEC) respectfully requests authorization for the above referenced project pursuant to
Nationwide Permit (NWP) Nos. 3 and 18 for Maintenance and Minor Discharges,
respectively. The use of NWP 18 for this project requires the submittal of this
preconstruction notification (PCN). The proposed action consists of a maintenance
activity (NWP 3) required for two existing and serviceable petroleum pipelines located
within a single maintained right-of-way (ROW), and subsequent streambed stabilization
and pipeline protection(NWP 18). The proposed activities will require disturbance to an
unnamed intermittent tributary to Hiatt Branch and an adjacent wetland area in
Guilford County, North Carolina, at 360 oo' 5o"N and 8o° 01'59"W (Figure 1).
Background
The existing 36 and 40 inch CPC pipelines transport refined petroleum products. CPC's
maintained ROW is approximately 8o feet in width at the location of the proposed
project Past high flow events have resulted in severe erosion within the reference
stream including CPC's ROW. These high flow events have resulted in the in the stream
becoming more incised causing the pipes to be exposed within the creek channel
(Photograph Nos. 1-2); this exposure has significantly reduced the required protection

level of the pipelines. An approximately four-foot segment of line 1 is currently exposed,
and the amount of protective cover over Line 2 is less than one foot, which is not
adequate to ensure protection of the pipe from possible damage.
Proposed Activity in Waters of the U.S.
The maintenance activity will require temporary disturbance to approximately loo linear
feet of an unnamed-intermittent tributary to Hiatt Branch and to approximately o.o8
acre of an emergent wetland that is adjacent to this creek (Photograph No. 3). The
pipeline will be protected using a pre-cast concrete revetment-mats placed into the same
loo-foot stream segment and approximately o.oi acre of the wetland (Figure 2). The
quantity of fill "material" below the plane of the ordinary high water mark will be less
than 7.6 cubic yards, and the proposed activities will be confined to CPC's existing ROW.
To ensure the integrity of the exposed pipelines at this location, CPC will initially inspect
the pipelines for any damages. This will require CPC to excavate a small area (no larger
than 30 feet by. 6o feet) on each. pipeline location to be maintained. To minimise
sedimentation to the creek during the inspection and subsequent maintenance activity,
temporary dams will be constructed at each end of the maintenance area and the stream
flow will be pumped around the maintenance area. The dams will be constructed of
sandbags or other suitable material, and the pumps used will be able to sufficiently
accommodate the stream flow. The pumps will be installed above the upstream dam
with the discharge line routed through the maintenance area, discharging immediately
downstream of the downstream dam (Appendix A).
As an alternative method to using a pump, CPC may use a steel pipe flume to convey the
stream flow through the reach of stream to be disturbed. The flume will be used to
maintain flow to the downstream side of the maintenance area, and the excavation will
be carried out under the flume (Appendix B). Both techniques allow the maintenance to
take place without contact to flowing water, thus reducing downstream sedimentation.
Regardless of technique, upon completion of the maintenance activity, the stream
channel will be returned to its original contours (prior to the erosion) and the flow will
be restored.

With respect to the adjacent wetlands that will be disturbed during the maintenance
activities, equipment will be operated from mats, and stabilization will be conducted
immediately following completion of the maintenance activity. All excavated soils will be
temporarily stored on geotextile fabric or plastic sheeting until backfilling of the
excavation area. Measures will be taken to avoid any hydrology alteration (Appendix Q.
After the inspection, the pipeline will be recoated (if necessary), wrapped in a rock
shield, and buried beneath sandbags. To prevent future erosion of the streambed at this
location, and to protect the pipelines from damage, pre-cast concrete revetment mats
will be used to cover and protect the pipelines while stabilizing the excavated portions of
the streambed as depicted in Appendix D. The revetment mats will only be used in the
maintenance area, extending approximately ioo linear feet within the stream and
approximately o.oi acre of the adjacent wetlands. The stream banks will be stabilized
with geotextile erosion control mats, and CPC's Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Plan will be implemented to protect the stream from sedimentation (Appendix E).

revetment mats are pre-cast and hardened before they are placed in the stream.
General Condition 19 - Mitigation
The proposed pipeline maintenance activities have been designed to avoid and
minimise impacts to jurisdictional waters to the maximum extent practicable. The
minimal amount of permanent impact associated with this project ' (i.e.,
approximately loo linear feet of intermittent stream and o.oi acre of wetland) does
not require any of the regional conditions requiring mitigation (Refer to General
Condition 6 above). However, the proposed stream/bank stabilization completed to
maintain and protect the existing pipelines will result in improved water quality of
the stream by reducing soillbank erosion, which offsets the temporary disturbance.
General Condition 20 - Spawning Areas

Conclusion
The pipeline maintenance activity proposed in jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and the
State of North Carolina will-result in temporary disturbance to approximately loo linear
feet of an unnamed intermitted tributary to Hiatt Branch. There will be no disturbance
to jurisdictional waters located outside of CPC's existing ROW. During the maintenance
activity, appropriate erosion and sedimentation control devices will be used on the entire
project site and the proposed. activity is in compliance with Nationwide Permit General
Conditions and NCDWQ conditions for Section 401 water quality certification and
riparian buffer protection.
Based on this submittal, we respectfully request authorization for the aforementioned
maintenance project pursuant to NW? Nos. 3 and 18. Please contact the undersigned at

CPC'S SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL PLAN
Colonial Pipeline Company
Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan
For
Pipeline Maintenance Activities
Objective
Disturbed areas are to be restored as close as practical to their original contours and
conditions so that once vegetation is reestablished, erosion will be reduced to the same
or lower level that existed prior to disturbance.
Description
This section defines the soil erosion and sediment control measures that Colonial
Pipeline Company will implement during and after inspection and repairs of the pipeline
are complete. The objectives of this plan are to establish general guidelines for
controlling erosion and sedimentation and to specify criteria for sensitive or particularly
susceptible soil areas. The plan incorporates measures to control erosion and
sedimentation, including minimizing cover removal, limiting the time of exposure,
limiting the flow of water onto the disturbed right-of-way, and filtering or settling out
sediment from water flowing from the right-of-way.
The primary objective of the soil erosion and sediment control plan is to reduce the area
and duration of soil disturbance and reestablish permanent vegetation as soon after
construction as possible, thereby minimizing long-term erosion and sedimentation:
Some erosion is inevitable during construction; however, the plan includes measures to
reduce erosion to the minimum practical.
Colonial Pipeline Company plans to reduce soil erosion and provide sediment control
during the repair of the pipeline at the project site by incorporating the following
measures:
• Water pumped from the construction area as part of the dewatering operation
from the excavation will be filtered through silt filtration bags and discharged to
a well-vegetated area.
• All work will be confined within the existing right-of-way. Staked hay bales and
silt fence will be installed around the worksite and maintained until vegetation is
established. Proper controls will be added if necessary during construction.
• All terms and conditions within Nationwide Permit 3 will be followed.
• Erosion control measures will be installed prior to conducting any soil disturbing
activities associated with the pipeline maintenance activity.
1 of2
• Clearing of vegetation will be kept to an absolute minimum and confined to the
existing pipeline easement area. The easement area is 50 feet in width and devoid
of large trees. The right of way is vegetated with undergrowth grasses and other
short vegetation.
• Vegetation will be reestablished within disturbed areas and along stream banks
as soon as possible upon completion of work. Disturbed areas will be seeded
with a wetland seed mixture
• All erosion and sediment control measures will be inspected every two weeks at a
minimum and after every significant rainfall event of 0.5 inch or more until
disturbed areas have been stabilized. Identified damages to control measures
must be repaired immediately.
Refuse and Waste Disposal
Colonial's representative will not allow the Contractor to discard any litter, including
paper, bottles, cans, rags, sacks, welding rod stubs, fuel, crankcase draining, coating
materials, equipment, and junk pipe in the ditch or along the right-of-way. All refuse
must be collected and disposed in accordance with company specifications. Personnel
will be instructed regarding the correct procedure for waste disposal.
Maintenance/Inspection Procedures
The following inspection and maintenance practices will be implemented to maintain
erosion and sediment controls:
i. All control measures will be inspected every two weeks at a minimum and following
any storm event of 0.5 inch or greater.
2. All control measures will be maintained in good working order. If a repair is
necessary, it will be initiated within 24 hours of the report.
3. Built-up sediment will be removed from silt fences when it has reached one-third the
height of the fence.
4. Silt fences will be inspected for depth of sediment, tears, secure attachment of the
fabric to the fence posts, and firm placement of the fence posts in the ground.
5. Temporary and permanent seeding and planting will be inspected for bare spots,
washouts, and healthy growth.
6. Colonial Pipeline Company will select individuals to be responsible for inspections,
maintenance and repair activities, and completion of the inspection and
maintenance report. Personnel selected for inspection and maintenance
responsibilities will receive training from Colonial Pipeline Company or its
representative. Personnel must be trained in all practices necessary for maintaining
the erosion and sediment controls used on-site.

Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
The nronosed Droiect is desianed to minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters as much as
practicable. The revetment mats will only be used to stabilize areas that had been excavated.
VIII. Mitigation
DWQ - In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0500, mitigation may be required by the NC
Division of Water Quality for projects involving greater than or equal to one acre of impacts to
freshwater wetlands or greater than or equal to 150 linear feet of total impacts to perennial
streams.

USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on January 15, 2002, mitigation will be required when
necessary to ensure that adverse effects to the aquatic environment are minimal. Factors
including size and type of proposed impact and function and relative value of the impacted
aquatic resource will be considered in determining acceptability of appropriate and practicable
mitigation as proposed. Examples of mitigation that may be appropriate and practicable include,
but are not limited to: reducing the size of the project; establishing and maintaining wetland
and/or upland vegetated buffers to protect open waters such as streams; and replacing losses of
aquatic resource functions and values by creating, restoring, enhancing, or preserving similar
functions and values, preferable in the same watershed.
If mitigation is required for this project, a copy of the mitigation plan must be attached in order
for USACE or DWQ to consider the application complete for processing. Any application
lacking a required mitigation plan or NCEEP concurrence shall be placed on hold as incomplete.
An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration in DWQ's
Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.htm].
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.

2. Mitigation may,also be made by payment into the North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement
Program (NCEEP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCEEP at
(919) 715-0476 to determine availability, and written approval from the NCEEP indicating
that they, are will to accept payment for the mitigation must be attached to this form. For
additional information regarding the application process for the NCEEP, check the NCEEP
website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/wrp/index.htm. If use of the NCEEP is proposed, please
check the appropriate box on page five and provide the following information:
Amount of stream mitigation requested (linear feet):
Amount of buffer mitigation requested (square feet):
Amount of Riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Non-riparian wetland mitigation requested (acres):
Amount of Coastal wetland mitigation requested (acres):

IX. Environmental Documentation (required by DWQ)
Does the project involve an expenditure of public (federal/state/local) funds or the use of
public (federal/state) land? Yes ? No
2. If yes, does the project require preparation of an environmental document pursuant to the
requirements of the National or North Carolina Environmental Policy Act (NEPA/SEPA)?
Note: If you are not sure whether a NEPA/SEPA document is required, call the SEPA
coordinator at (919) 733-5083 to review current thresholds for environmental documentation.
Yes ? No ?
3. If yes, has the document review been finalized by the State Clearinghouse? If so, please
attach a copy of the NEPA or SEPA final approval letter. Yes ? No ?
X. Proposed Impacts on Riparian and Watershed Buffers (required by DWQ)
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
required state and local buffers associated with the project. The applicant must also provide
justification for these impacts in Section VII above. All proposed impacts must be listed herein,
and must be clearly identifiable on the accompanying site plan. All buffers must be shown on a
map, whether or not impacts are proposed to the buffers. Correspondence from the DWQ
Regional Office may be included as appropriate. Photographs may -also be included at the
applicant's discretion.
1. Will the project impact protected riparian buffers identified within 15A NCAC 2B .0233
(Meuse), 15A NCAC 2B .0259 (Tar-Pamlico), 15A NCAC 02B .0243 (Catawba) 15A NCAC
2B .0250 (Randleman Rules and Water Supply Buffer Requirements), or other (please
identify V Yes ? No
2. If "yes", identify the square feet and acreage of impact to each zone of the riparian buffers.
If buffer mitigation is required calculate the required amount of mitigation by applying the
buffer multipliers.
Required
Zone* Impact Multiplier
1 3 (2 for Catawba)
2 1.5
Total
* Zone 1 extends out 30 feet perpendicular from the top of the near bank of channel; Zone 2 extends an
additional 20 feet from the edge of Zone 1.
3. If buffer mitigation is required, please discuss what type of mitigation is proposed (i.e.,
Donation of Property, Riparian Buffer Restoration / Enhancement, or Payment into the
Riparian Buffer Restoration Fund). Please attach all appropriate information as identified
within 15A NCAC 2B .0242 or .0244, or .0260.
