Mill Creek Stream Restoration
Forsyth County, North Carolina
Nationwide Permits 14 & 27 — Pre -construction Notification
Water Quality Certification No. 4135 NWP 14 & No. 4134 NWP 27
D
IDear Mr. Roden -Reynolds & Ms. Higgins, NOV 142018
On behalf of Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG), Pond is pleased to submit this Pre -Construction
(PCN) and supporting documentation for the use of Nationwide Permits (NWP) 14 & 27, pursuant to
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The proposed project would impact jurisdictional waters of
the US, including wetlands and streams associated with the restoration of approximately 635 linear feet
of streambank in Forsyth County, North Carolina. PNG has an existing pipeline within their easement
bordering Mill Creek; pipe cover has been compromised due to erosion along the streambanks.
The project starts (36.132, -80.335) on Mill Creek along PNG's existing pipeline easement near Winston-
Salem, North Carolina. The proposed streambank stabilization and restoration is along 635 linear feet of
eroded and undercut streambank within and adjacent to PNG and sanitary sewer right-of-way (ROW).
The stream restoration activities will include installation of erosion and sediment control (E&SC) best
management practices (BMPs), bank stabilization, instream installation of run, riffle, pool complex,
backfilling to preconstruction conditions, and implementing final stabilization. The proposed restoration
project traverses mostly mixed pine -hardwood forest and previously cleared riparian areas.
Waters of the US include three perennial streams and three PEM wetlands within the immediate vicinity
of the project area. Three culverts are to be installed for permanent crossing of PNG ROW.
Based on the proposed activity and impacts, this project qualifies under the terms and conditions of
NWPs 14 & 27. We trust the information provided within this document package will be sufficient for your
office to grant the Section 404 & 401 Water Quality Certification approval. If you have any questions or
requests for information please contact Flynt Barksdale (678.459.2470, barksdalefa.13ondco.com) or
Stephen Bailey (678.336.7740, BaileySapondco.com).

B.3d. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
This project involves the restoration of 635 feet of stream bank along Mill Creek in Forsyth County, NC. This project is
to ensure pipe stability for a natural gas line that runs adjacent to Mill Creek and may be compromised due to eroding
stream banks. The stream restoration would stabilize and restore the streambanks as well as correct and prevent
further erosive forces from encroaching into Piedmont Natural Gas right-of-way along Mill Creek.
B.3e. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The Piedmont Natural Gas right-of-way is located in Forsyth County, NC near Pfafftown. The existing natural gas line
and right-of-way runs adjacent to Mill Creek and crosses it in several locations. The proposed project initiates at
(36.113, -80.335) and continues along 635 feet of Mill Creek. The stream restoration activities will include installation
of erosion and sediment control (E&SC) best management practices (BMPs), bank stabilization, instream installation
of run, riffle, pool complex, backfilling to preconstruction conditions, and implementing final stabilization. The proposed
stabilization project traverses mostly mixed pine -hardwood forest.
Two perennial streams and one wetland along the proposed route will be crossed and culverted for future access and
maintenance of PNG ROW. All stream crossings have been oriented as close to perpendicular as possible to the
Piedmont Natural Gas — Mill Creek Stream Restoration Pond & Company

stream banks to further minimize impacts. Standard mechanized construction equipment will be used, including but
not limited to excavators and other tracked equipment. Structural and vegetative BMPs will be implemented according
to an E&SC Plan designed for this project and existing site conditions.
D.1a. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project.
Preliminary environmental surveys were conducted during the conceptual phase of this project and included field
delineations within and adjacent to the project area to identify all sensitive resources in the area. Using the
environmental data collected, the least impactful design plan was chosen, and additional modifications were made to
reduce impacts at stream and wetland crossings. All stream crossings for culvert installations needed for ROW access
and maintenance have been oriented as close to perpendicular as possible to the stream banks to further minimize
impacts. Within the initial project area surveyed, three perennial streams, one wetland drainage, and three wetlands
were delineated.
D.1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction
techniques.
The culverts to be installed are needed for access during construction as well as continued access for maintenance of
PNG ROW. Erosion and Sediment control measures will be implemented at all stream crossings to minimize impacts
during construction (culvert installation, streambank restoration). Additionally, construction has been sequenced to
minimize the length of time for which excavations of streams remain in disturbed condition and will be stabilized as
soon as possible.
F.5d. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact Endangered Species or
Designated Critical Habitat?
A list of threatened and endangered species was obtained from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Information
for Planning and Consultation (USFWS IPaC) online database. Two (2) federally listed species, northern long-eared
bat (Myotis septentrionalis) and small-anthered bittercress (Cardamine micranthera), were found to potentially occur
within Forsyth county, according to the IPaC database. Pond ecologists conducted a detailed field survey on June 26,
2018 to identify and locate potential presence of suitable habitat for listed species within the project corridor. Suitable
foraging habitat for northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) was present within or adjacent to the project site.
However, USFWS 4(d) Rule states incidental take through tree removal activities is not prohibited unless it results in
removing a known, occupied maternity roost tree; removal activities within 150 feet of a known maternity roost tree
from June 1 to July 31, or removing trees within 0.25 miles of a hibernaculum at any time of year. Online review of
USFWS resources from the Raleigh Ecological Field Office for northern long-eared bat (Myotis septentrionalis) does
not indicate presence of roost trees or hibernacula in the project area. Habitat for small-anthered bittercress (Cardamine
micranthera) was not present in the project area.
F.7b. What data sources did you use to determine whether your site would impact historic or archeological
resources?
A desktop survey was conducted using the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office GIS Mapping Tool to
evaluate the presence of cultural resources near the proposed project. There are no documented cultural resources in
the direct vicinity of the project site. The closest listed/eligible cultural resource is located approximately 0.5 mile from
the project site (FY3222). The proposed project activities do not have the potential to impact any cultural resource.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Womble,
In order to protect one of our natural gas pipelines near Petree Road, in Forsyth County, it is necessary for Piedmont
Natural Gas ("Piedmont") to perform stream restoration work on Mill Creek. The stream restoration will prevent further
erosion of the banks where the pipeline crosses the creek, so Piedmont can ensure the proper amount of ground cover
over the pipeline for its continued protection.
To begin this project, a land survey and engineering study is needed to develop the stream restoration plan. A
surveyor's "right -of -entry" is provided for under North Carolina General Statute 40A-11. This letter is to notify you of our
intent to enter the property for the preliminary survey. This does not necessarily mean your property will be impacted
by the final design. Our contracted surveyors and engineers include: POND and Company (Engineering), Land 2
Water (Stream Design), and Regional Land Surveyors.
The survey process is typically routine and minimally disruptive to the property. Piedmont is committed to restoring any
such area to its original state after the survey and assessment process has been completed.
Once Piedmont develops the stream restoration plan, a representative of Piedmont Natural Gas will contact you to
negotiate the purchase of any land rights needed to proceed with this project. As a part of this process, an exhibit of
your property will be prepared, showing where the proposed construction areas and access routes for the stream
restoration project are situated in relation to your property.
Our land agent, John Dietz of Contract Land Staff (CLS), will attempt to contact you after sending this notification to
answer any questions you may have about the survey process and to learn about features of your property we should
be aware of prior to entry. With your permission, we may begin surveying sooner 30 days, however, if you do not grant
permission we will certainly wait the 30 days as required by the NC General Statute referenced above.
If you have any questions, you may contact John Dietz, at 919-247-6621.
Piedmont Natural Gas is committed to being as open and transparent as possible throughout this process and to
minimizing any inconvenience to you. We look forward to working with you and thank you in advance for your
consideration.
Sincerely yours,

Attachment D. IPaC Trust Resources Report

IPaC U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
IPaC resource list
This report is an automatically generated list of species and other resources such as critical habitat
(collectively referred to as trust resources) under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's (USFWS)
jurisdiction that are known or expected to be on or near the project area referenced below. The list
may also include trust resources that occur outside of the project area, but that could potentially be
directly or indirectly affected by activities in the project area. However, determining the likelihood
and extent of effects a project may have on trust resources typically requires gathering additional
site-specific (e.g., vegetation/species surveys) and project -specific (e.g., magnitude and timing of
proposed activities) information.
Below is a summary of the project information you provided and contact information for the USFWS
office(s) with jurisdiction in the defined project area. Please read the introduction to each section
that follows (Endangered Species, Migratory Birds, USFWS Facilities, and NWI Wetlands) for
additional information applicable to the trust resources addressed in that section.

Endangered species
This resource list is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an analysis of
project level impacts.
The primary information used to generate this list is the known or expected range of each species.
Additional areas of influence (AOI) for species are also considered. An AOI includes areas outside of
the species range if the species could be indirectly affected by activities in that area (e.g., placing a
dam upstream of a fish population, even if that fish does not occur at the dam site, may indirectly
impact the species by reducing or eliminating water flow downstream). Because species can move,
and site conditions can change, the species on this list are not guaranteed to be found on or near
the project area. To fully determine any potential effects to species, additional site-specific and
project -specific information is often required.
Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act requires Federal agencies to "request of the Secretary
information whether any species which is listed or proposed to be listed may be present in the area
of such proposed action" for any project that is conducted, permitted, funded, or licensed by any
Federal agency. A letter from the local office and a species list which fulfills this requirement can
only be obtained by requesting an official species list from either the Regulatory Review section in
IPaC (see directions below) or from the local field office directly.
For project evaluations that require USFWS concurrence/review, please return to the IPaC website
and request an official species list by doing the following:
1. Draw the project location and click CONTINUE.
2. Click DEFINE PROJECT.
3. Log in (if directed to do so).
4. Provide a name and description for your project.
5. Click REQUEST SPECIES LIST.
Listed species'- and their critical habitats are managed by the Ecological Services Program of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA Fisheries).
Species and critical habitats under the sole responsibility of NOAA Fisheries are not shown on this
list. Please contact NOAA Fisheries for species under their jurisdiction.
1. Species listed under the Endangered Species Act are threatened or endangered; IPaC also shows
species that are candidates, or proposed, for listing. See the listing status page for more
information.

The birds listed below are birds of particular concern either because they occur on the USFWS Birds
of Conservation Concern (BCC) list or warrant special attention in your project location. To learn
more about the levels of concern for birds on your list and how this list is generated, see the FAQ
below. This is not a list of every bird you may find in this location, nor a guarantee that every bird on
this list will be found in your project area. To see exact locations of where birders and the general

public have sighted birds in and around your project area, visit the E -bird data mapping tool (Tip:
enter your location, desired date range and a species on your list). For projects that occur off the
Atlantic Coast, additional maps and models detailing the relative occurrence and abundance of bird
species on your list are available. Links to additional information about Atlantic Coast birds, and
other important information about your migratory bird list, including how to properly interpret and
use your migratory bird report, can be found below.
For guidance on when to schedule activities or implement avoidance and minimization measures to
reduce impacts to migratory birds on your list, click on the PROBABILITY OF PRESENCE SUMMARY at
the top of your list to see when these birds are most likely to be present and breeding in your
project area.

Breeds May 10 to Aug 31
The graphs below provide our best understanding of when birds of concern are most likely to be
present in your project area. This information can be used to tailor and schedule your project
activities to avoid or minimize impacts to birds. Please make sure you read and understand the FAQ
"Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report" before using or attempting to
interpret this report.
Probability of Presence (■)
Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your
project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4 -week months.)
A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be
used to'"establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the
presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high.
How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps:
1. The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the
week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that
week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was
found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25.
2. To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence
is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence
across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted
Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any
week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is
0.05/0.25 = 0.2.

3. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical
conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of
presence score.
To see a bar's probability of presence score, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
Breeding Season( )
Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time -frame inside which the bird breeds across its
entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area.
Survey Effort (1)
Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys
performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of
surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys.
To see a bar's survey effort range, simply hover your mouse cursor over the bar.
No Data (—)
A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week.
Survey Timeframe
Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant
information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all
years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Tell me more about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds.
Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at
any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to
occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and

avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to
occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures and/or
permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or
bird species present on your project site.
What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location?
The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species
that may warrant special attention in your project location.
The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network
(AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is
queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project
intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that
area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore
activities or development.
Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not
representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your
project area, please visit the E -bird Explore Data Tool.
What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially
occurring in my specified location?
The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the
Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen
science datasets .
Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To
learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the
Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link.
How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering, migrating or present year-round in my project area?
To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or
year-round), you may refer to the following resources: The Cornell Lab of Ornithology All About Birds Bird Guide, or
(if you are unsuccessful in locating the bird of interest there), the Cornell Lab of Ornithology Neotropical Birds
guide. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur
in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds
elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area.
What are the levels of concern for migratory birds?
Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern:
1. "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range
anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands);
2. "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the
continental USA; and
3. "Non -BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of
the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non -eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from
certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing).
Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to
avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For
more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird

impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics.
Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects
For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of
bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal
also offers data and information about other taxa besides birds that may be helpful to you in your project review.
Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS
Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic
Outer Continental Shelf project webpage.
Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year,
including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on
marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam
Loring.
What if 1 have eagles on my list?
If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the
Eagle Act should such impacts occur.
Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report
The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority
concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be
in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring
in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10
km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look
carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a
red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of
presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack
of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting
point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there,
and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to
confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or
minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about
conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize
impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page.

Wetlands in the National Wetlands Inventory

Impacts to NWI wetlands and other aquatic habitats may be subject to regulation under Section 404
of the Clean Water Act, or other State/Federal statutes.
For more information please contact the Regulatory Program of the local U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers District.
Please note that the NWI data being shown may be out of date. We are currently working to update
our NWI data set. We recommend you verify these results with a site visit to determine the actual
extent of wetlands on site.
This location overlaps the following wetlands:
The area of this project is too large for IPaC to load all NWI wetlands in the area. The list below
may be incomplete. Please contact the local U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office or visit the NWI
map for a full list.

Data limitations
The Service's objective of mapping wetlands and deepwater habitats is to produce reconnaissance level
information on the location, type and size of these resources. The maps are prepared from the analysis of high
altitude imagery. Wetlands are identified based on vegetation, visible hydrology and geography. A margin of error
is inherent in the use of imagery; thus, detailed on -the -ground inspection of any particular site may result in
revision of the wetland boundaries or classification established through image analysis.
The accuracy of image interpretation depends on the quality of the imagery, the experience of the image analysts,
the amount and quality of the collateral data and the amount of ground truth verification work conducted.
Metadata should be consulted to determine the date of the source imagery used and any mapping problems.
Wetlands or other mapped features may have changed since the date of the imagery or field work. There may be
occasional differences in polygon boundaries or classifications between the information depicted on the map and
the actual conditions on site.
Data exclusions
Certain wetland habitats are excluded from the National mapping program because of the limitations of aerial
imagery as the primary data source used to detect wetlands. These habitats include seagrasses or submerged
aquatic vegetation that are found in the intertidal and subtidal zones of estuaries and nearshore coastal waters.
Some deepwater reef communities (coral or tuberficid worm reefs) have also been excluded from the inventory.
These habitats, because of their depth, go undetected by aerial imagery.
Data precautions
Federal, state, and local regulatory agencies with jurisdiction over wetlands may define and describe wetlands in a
different manner than that used in this inventory. There is no attempt, in either the design or products of this
inventory, to define the limits of proprietary jurisdiction of any Federal, state, or local government or to establish
the geographical scope of the regulatory programs of government agencies. Persons intending to engage in
activities involving modifications within or adjacent to wetland areas should seek the advice of appropriate federal,
state, or local agencies concerning specified agency regulatory programs and proprietary jurisdictions that may
affect such activities.
