Good morning Emily,
It was so good catching up with you yesterday. As discussed, to prevent withdrawal of our application, we are
requesting an extension to respond to your request for additional information until after we meet to discuss the
comments at the agency scoping meeting next week. Anthony, we also request an extension to respond to DWR's
additional information request. Based on conversations with both agencies, I believe this preferred. Please let me
know if that will be ok. I look forward to seeing you both next week.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Shearin

Subject: Incomplete PCN Application - Piedmont Natural Gas Line 24 Replacement Project (UNCLASSIFIED)
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
Good morning Shearin ... thank you for the attached information. Additionally, I copied Emily Thompson with this
email as she is the project manager - you had sent the email to Emily Greer in the Wilmington Field Office.
This email serves as official notice that the PCN application you submitted on behalf of Piedmont Natural Gas for
its Line 24 Replacement Project in Pitt County, North Carolina, is incomplete. As discussed, please submit the
following (you have already provided some of this information in the attached emails):
1. Project plans and cross section drawings for the pipeline indicating where impacts to jurisdictional waters and
wetlands will occur.
2. Detailed plan and cross section drawings for the work under the Section 10 navigable waters of the Tar River and
its associated floodplain.
3. In accordance with Wilmington District Regional Condition 4.6.9, a written plan on how you propose to restore
and re -vegetate wetland areas cleared for construction.
4. Information related to potential affects to Atlantic Sturgeon Designated Critical Habitat (NMFS) associated with
the proposed work under the Tar River.
5. The project may alter the Wilmington District's Civil Works Tar River Navigation Project. Pursuant to 33 USC
408, coordination with the Wilmington District must be undertaken to determine whether or not the project requires
a Section 408 permission. Note that the Regulatory permit decision cannot be made until the Section 408 review
process is complete. We can facilitate this coordination with the Wilmington District once the application is
complete.
6. KMZ of the pipeline alignment to facilitate evaluation.
As discussed, we also have questions regarding the following:
1. How the waters and wetlands impacts were defined and calculated.
2. PNG's environmental monitoring plan for the project to ensure permit compliance during construction.
3. Permits for work within waters and/or wetlands are available only if the proposed work is the least
environmentally damaging, practicable alternative. Accordingly, we must evaluate the steps you have taken to
avoid and minimize impacts before we can approve the compensatory mitigation plan.
4. We are not sure that we received the entire PCN package. You stated that you would provide us with a copy.

5. We must also schedule and complete the confirmation of the waters and wetlands Preliminary Jurisdiction
Determination (PJD) work you have undertaken.
The PCN will be considered incomplete until the requested information is received. Based upon review of the
information you provide, additional information may be requested. If no information is received within 30 days, the
submittal will be administratively withdrawn, but can be reopened at any time by submitting the necessary
information.
We look forward to meeting with you and PNG in the near future to review and discuss the proposed project.
Questions should be directed to Emily Thompson at 910-251-4629.
Thanks,
David
