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 an existing and serviceable petroleum pipeline located within a maintained right-of-way (ROW), and subsequent streambed stabilization and pipeline protection (NWT 18). The proposed activities will require disturbance to one of the braided channels of Swift Creek in Johnston County, North Carolina, at 35° 36'3o" N and 780 32'44" W (Figure i). Background CPC's maintained ROW is approximately 6o feet in width at the location of the proposed project, and contains three existing 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, but are not currently used for petroleum transport. Past high flow events in one of the braided channel of Swift Creek has resulted in bank/channel erosion within CPC's ROW (Photograph No. i). These high flow events have resulted in the channel becoming more incised, exposing all three of CPC's pipelines within the creek ,3225 South Cherokee Lane Phone: 770-591-9990 Bldg. Boo Fax: 770-591-9993 Woodstock, Georgia 3o188 immivet-eco.com PCN1VWPNos.3 and i8 Septembers, 2oo6 Colonial Pipeline Company - Swift Creek WEC Project No. o2-o4igoi channel (Photograph Nos. 2 and 3); this exposure has significantly reduced the required protection level of these pipelines. Proposed Activity in Waters of the U.S. The maintenance activity will require temporary disturbance to approximately 25 linear feet of the referenced channel. After the maintenance activities are completed, all three pipelines will be protected using pre-cast concrete revetment mats that will be placed into approximately 25 linear feet the stream channel (Appendix A). The quantity of this "fill material" below the plane of the ordinary high water mark will be approximately 18 cubic yards. To ensure the integrity of the active pipeline (Line 22), CPC will initially inspect the pipeline for any damages. This will require CPC to excavate a small area over pipeline location to be inspected. To minimize 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 B). 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 Q. 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. After the inspection, the Line 22 will be recoated (if necessary), and buried beneath a six- inch diameter geotube (i.e., elongated sandbag). To prevent future erosion of the streambed at this location, and to protect the pipeline from damage, pre-cast concrete revetment mats will be used to cover and protect the pipeline while stabilizing the 2 PCNNWP Nos. 3 and 18 September 1, 2006 Colonial Pipeline Company - Swi, f t Creek WEC Project No. 02-041901 excavated portions of the streambed as depicted in Appendix A. The revetment mat will extend approximately 25 linear feet within the stream channel. 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 D). The segments of the inactive pipelines (Lines 23 and 24) that are currently exposed within the stream will be removed. This activity will not encroach into the stream or other jurisdictional areas (Appendix A). To meet U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) guidelines for pipeline integrity, the repair must be completed by October 21, 2oo6.

According to current North Carolina Natural Heritage Program data, the federally protected species listed to occur in Johnston County are the dwarf wedgemussel (Alasmidonta heterodon), Tar River Spinymussel, Michaux's sumac (Rhos michauxii), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and the red cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). At the maintenance location, the pipeline ROW is regularly mowed, and does not provide suitable habitat for Michaux's sumac, bald eagles, or red-cockaded woodpeckers. At the location of the proposed activity, the braided channel of Swift Creek has been severely degraded, and has a bottom substrate comprised exclusively of silt, and does not provide suitable habitat for either protected mussel, which require coarser bottom substrates such as sand and gravel. General Condition 12 - Historic Properties The proposed maintenance activity will be conducted within the existing pipeline ROW, which has been previously disturbed; thus no archeological resource impacts are probable. No historic structures were noted within the project area, and no aboveground structures are proposed for construction. Therefore, the proposed pipeline maintenance activity will have no adverse affects to cultural resources in the project vicinity. General Condition 1q - Notification (a) Timing: The prospective permittee must notify the District Engineer with a PCN as early as possible. The District Engineer must determine if the notification is complete within 3o days of the date of receipt and can request additional information necessary to make the PCN complete only once. WEC believes that the contents of this package constitute a complete PCN. (b) Contents of the Notification: The following information addresses NWP General Condition 13(b): 1) Name, address, and telephone number of the prospective permittee: Mr. Jeff Richards Colonial Pipeline Company 391 Scruggs Road Ringgold, GA 30736 (7o6) 891-6658 2) Location of the Proposed Project: The proposed maintenance is located east of where CPC's ROW crosses NC Highway 42 in Johnston County, North Carolina, at 35° 36' 3o"N and 78° 32'44"W (Figure 1). 10 PCNNWP Nos. 3 and 18 September 1, 2oo6 Colonial Pipeline Company - Swift Creek WEC Project No. 02-041 901 3) Project description, purpose, effects: See the "Background" and "Proposed Activities in Waters of the U.S." sections of this letter. 4) Delineation of affected special aquatic sites, including wetlands: WEC conducted the field delineation of the project site on February 16, 20o6. Areas considered by WEC to be jurisdictional waters are depicted on Figure 2, and consist of Guffy Branch and an adjacent emergent wetland, which are within the existing CPC ROW. 5-16) NWP special conditions applicable to other NWPs Not applicable 17) Names of federal protected species affected: Refer to General Condition 11 above. 18) National Register of Historic Places Affected: Refer to General Condition 12 above. (c) Form of Notification: The Wilmington District's PCN form is attached as Appendix E. General Condition 14 - Compliance Certification Upon completion of the required maintenance, WEC (as CPC's authorized agent) will sign and submit the USACE certification letter documenting compliance with maintenance activities as they are described in this PCN submittal. General Condition is - Use of Multiple Nationwide Permits This project will use both NWP 3 and NWP 18. The cumulative impacts of both parts of this project will not exceed the highest specified acreages or linear feet of either NWP. General Condition 16 - Water Supply Intakes The proposed construction does not include a water supply intake. General Condition 17 - Shellfish Beds The proposed project is not located within or adjacent to a shellfish bed. 11 PCNNWPNos. 3 and 18 September 1, 2006 Colonial Pipeline Company - Swift Creek WECProject No. 02-041901 General Condition 18 - Suitable Material Only material excavated from the maintenance area will be replaced within the trench following maintenance completion. As described above the concrete 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 minimize impacts to jurisdictional waters to the maximum extent practicable. The minimal amount of permanent impact associated with this project (i.e., approximately 25 linear feet of stream) does not exceed 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 soil/bank erosion, which offsets the temporary disturbance. General Condition 20 - Spawning Areas Not applicable General Condition 21 - Management of Water Flows During the maintenance activity, water flows will be maintained by the use of either a dam and pump system (Appendix B) or a flume used to convey the flow of the stream (Appendix Q. The concrete revetment mats will be "keyed" in to the upstream end of the maintenance area to ensure that flow of the stream is not impeded (Appendix A). General Condition 22 - Adverse Effects from Impoundments Not applicable General Condition 2a- Waterfowl Breeding Areas Waterfowl breeding areas do not occur on the subject site. General Condition 24 - Removal of Temporary Fills All temporary soil piles will be removed immediately following the maintenance activity. General Condition 2.5 - Designated Critical Resource Waters Not applicable General Condition 26 - Fills within loo-year Floodplains The project will not result in above grade fill placed within the loo-year floodplain. 12 PCNNWPNos. 3 and 18 September 1, 2006 Colonial Pipeline Company - Swift Creek WEC Project No. 02-041901 General Condition 27 - Construction Period Not applicable Conclusion The pipeline maintenance activity proposed in jurisdictional waters of the U.S. and the State of North Carolina will result in disturbance to approximately 25 linear feet of a side channel to Swift Creek. 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 DWQ 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 NWP Nos. 3 and 18. Please contact the undersigned at 770-591-9990 if you have any questions regarding this request. Sincerely, WETLAND & ECOLOGICAL CONSULTANTS, LLC Timothy J. Funk, C.A.E Richard W. Whiteside, C.W.B.

DRAWMIO SHEET TFR5 MOM2 OOL-000ta 2 OF 2 APPENDIX D 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. 2 of 2 APPENDIX E WILMINGTON DISTRIC PCN FORM Office Use Only: Form Version March 05 USACE Action ID No. DWQ No. 2_0 0 6 14 30 ._1_1_11 IIAT/All \ (If any particular item is not applicahie to this proiecL, p,caNc cuLci v< <.YN.I?av.V V. •? 1.

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 11/1/2005 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.
