Dear Mr. Matthews:
On behalf of our client, Colonial Pipeline Company (CPC), Wetland & Ecological
Consultants (WEC) respectfully requests authorization for the above referenced project
pursuant to Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 18 for Minor Discharges. The use of NWP 18
for this project requires the submittal of this preconstruction notification (PCN). The
proposed action consists of stream bed/bank stabilization and pipeline protection of
CPC's existing pipelines at two locations in Wake County, North Carolina. The proposed
CPC pipeline protection activities are all located on two unnamed intermittent
tributaries to Panther Branch. The western site (hereinafter referred to as Location No.
1) is located at 35° 39' 04"N and 780 40' 56"W, and the eastern site (hereinafter referred
to as Location No. 2) is located at 35° 39' oo"N and 780 40' 46"W (Figure 1). The sites
are approximately 1,ooo feet apart and accessed from Fanny Brown Road.
Background
At the above referenced locations, CPC's maintained ROW is approximately 70 feet in
width, and contains three pipelines (Lines 22, 23, and 24). Line 22 is 16 inches in
diameter and transports refined petroleum products. Lines 23 and 24 are both eight
inches and diameter, and serve as reserve and contingency transport lines for shipping
refined petroleum products. Disturbance to CPC's ROW at these locations from non-
CPC all-terrain vehicle (ATV) traffic has resulted in severe erosion within two unnamed
tributaries to Panther Branch where they cross CPC's ROW. This erosion has resulted in

stream bank failure, and has caused the streams to become more incised, removing
much of the protective cover from CPC's pipelines within the creek channel (Photograph
Nos. 1-4); the erosion has significantly reduced the required protection level of the three
pipelines.
Proposed Activity in Waters of the U.S.
To prevent future erosion of the streambed at these locations, and to protect the
pipelines from damage, pre-cast concrete revetment mats will be used to cover and
protect all three pipelines while stabilizing the stream bed and bank as depicted in
Appendix A. The proposed activity will require impacts to approximately 60 linear feet
of an unnamed intermittent tributary to Panther Branch at Location No. 1 (Figure 2),
and 40 linear feet of impact to another unnamed intermittent tributary to Panther
Branch at Location No. 2 (Figure 3). The combined quantity of fill "material" below the
plane of the ordinary high water mark will be approximately 3.3 and 3.0 cubic yards at
Locations 1 and 2, respectively. The proposed activities will be confined to CPC's existing
ROW. The stream banks will be further 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 B).

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 willimplement 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.

Dear Mr. Matthews:
On behalf of our client, Colonial Pipeline Company (CPC), Wetland & Ecological
Consultants (WEC) respectfully requests authorization for the above referenced project
pursuant to Nationwide Permit (NWP) No. 18 for Minor Discharges. The use of NWP 18
for this project requires the submittal of this preconstruction notification (PCN). The
proposed action consists of stream bed/bank stabilization and pipeline protection of
CPC's existing pipelines at two locations in Wake County, North Carolina. The proposed
CPC pipeline protection activities are all located on two unnamed intermittent
tributaries to Panther Branch. The western site (hereinafter referred to as Location No.
i) is located at 35° 39' 04"N and 780 40' 56"W, and the eastern site (hereinafter referred
to as Location No. 2) is located at 35° 39' oo"N and 780 40' 46"W (Figure i). The sites
are approximately i,ooo feet apart and accessed from Fanny Brown Road.
Background
At the above referenced locations, CPC's maintained ROW is approximately 70 feet in
width, and contains three pipelines (Lines 22, 23, and 24). Line 22 is 16 inches in
diameter and transports refined petroleum products. Lines 23 and 24 are both eight
inches and diameter, and serve as reserve and contingency transport lines for shipping
refined petroleum products. Disturbance to CPC's ROW at these locations from non-
CPC all-terrain vehicle (ATV) traffic has resulted in severe erosion within two unnamed
tributaries to Panther Branch where they cross CPC's ROW. This erosion has resulted in

stream bank failure, and has caused the streams to become more incised, removing
much of the protective cover from CPC's pipelines within the creek channel (Photograph
Nos. 1-4); the erosion has significantly reduced the required protection level of the three
pipelines.
Proposed Activity in Waters of the U.S.
To prevent future erosion of the streambed at these locations, and to protect the
pipelines from damage, pre-cast concrete revetment mats will be used to cover and
protect all three pipelines while stabilizing the stream bed and bank as depicted in
Appendix A. The proposed activity will require impacts to approximately 60 linear feet
of an unnamed intermittent tributary to Panther Branch at Location No. i (Figure 2),
and 40 linear feet of impact to another unnamed intermittent tributary to Panther
Branch at Location No. 2 (Figure 3). The combined quantity of fill "material" below the
plane of the ordinary high water mark will be approximately 3.3 and 3.0 cubic yards at
Locations i and 2, respectively. The proposed activities will be confined to CPC's existing
ROW. The stream banks will be further 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 B).
Nationwide Permit General Conditions Summary
We have provided the following information to document compliance with the USACE
NWP general conditions. Each condition and subcategory is itemized below.
General Condition i - Navigation

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 of 2
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:
1. 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.

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.
Updated 11/12005
Page 9 of 12
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.

Describe impervious acreage (existing and proposed) versus total acreage on the site. Discuss
stormwater controls proposed in order to protect surface waters and wetlands downstream from
the property. If percent impervious surface exceeds 20%, please provide calculations
demonstrating total proposed impervious level. The project will not result in impervious
surfaces. BMP's will be incorporated as described under General Condition 9 of the attached
cover letter.
XII. Sewage Disposal (required by DWQ)
Clearly detail the ultimate treatment methods and disposition (non-discharge or discharge) of
wastewater generated from the proposed project, or available capacity of the subject facility.
XIH. Violations (required by DWQ)

Yes ? No
Is this an after-the-fact permit application? Yes ? No
XIV. Cumulative Impacts (required by DWQ)
Will this project (based on past and reasonably anticipated future impacts) result in additional
development, which could impact nearby downstream water quality? Yes ? No
If yes, please submit a qualitative or quantitative cumulative impact analysis in accordance with
the most recent North Carolina Division of Water Quality policy posted on our website at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands. If no, please provide a short narrative description:
Upon completion of the project the pipelines should be protected from future damage. No other
work will be needed.
XV. Other Circumstances (Optional):
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit the application sufficiently in advance of desired
construction dates to allow processing time for these permits. However, an applicant may
choose to list constraints associated with construction or sequencing that may impose limits on
work schedules (e.g., draw-down schedules for lakes, dates associated with Endangered and
Threatened Species, accessibility problems, or other issues outside of the applicant's control).
CPC would like to proceed with the project as soon as possible to ensure the integrity of the
