Piedmont Natural Gas Line 439 Project
Site Restoration/Revegetation Plan:
Temporary Impacts to Wetlands, Streams and Riparian Buffers
1.0 Introduction
This proposed Site Restoration/Revegetation Plan (Plan) was prepared specifically for Piedmont Natural
Gas' (PNG) Line 439 Project located in Pitt County, North Carolina. The main objective of this Plan is to
address post -construction restoration/revegetation activities as required by both regional and general
conditions set forth by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Nationwide 12 Permit and analogous
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) 401 Water Quality Certification #4133. In
addition to the project's Pre -Construction Notification (PCN) and Permit Support Document (PSD)
submittals, NCDEQ also requested a separate Plan be prepared that details how temporary impacts to
wetlands, streams and riparian buffers will be returned to preconstruction condition and ultimately
stabilized. As required by [15A NCAC 02H .0502 (g) and 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3]., the applicant is
proposing an appropriate native seed mix to be implemented onsite for all temporarily impacted
wetlands, streams, and riparian buffer resources.
The measures described in detail in this Plan reflect generally accepted best management practices (BMP)
for restoration and revegetation of wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers for construction of natural gas
pipeline projects within the state and within similar physiographic regions. Additionally, to maximize
project success throughout the duration of construction, the applicant will provide an onsite
Environmental Inspector (EI) tasked with overseeing site restoration/ revegetation activities to remain in
compliance with the various local, state, and federal authorizations that will be in place.
Lastly and prior to the start of construction, the EI will meet with the contractor and onsite personnel to
provide information on environmental and safety requirements prior to any field mobilizations. The
meeting will focus on the review and understanding of previously prepared site-specific documentation,
including: this Site Restoratio n/Revegetation Plan, project approved Erosion and Sediment Control Plan,
any applicable permit conditions as appropriate, along with other project documentation that is in place.
The following details post -construction restoration/revegetation activities for temporarily impacted
wetlands, streams and riparian buffers.
2.0 USACE and NCDEQ Section 404/401 Regulatory Conditions
The applicant will meet the required regional and general conditions of the USACE's Nationwide 12 Permit
and associated NCDEQ's General Water Quality Certification for restoration/revegetation of temporarily
impacted wetlands, streams and riparian buffers associated with utility line projects as described below.
Upon completion of work that involves stream impacts, streambeds will be restored to pre -project
elevations and widths using natural streambed material such that the impacted stream reach mimics the
2
adjacent upstream and downstream reach. The impacted area will be backfilled with natural streambed
material to a depth of a least 12 inches or to the bottom depth of the impacted area if shallower than 12
inches (USACE NWP Condition).
Upon completion of work involving temporary stream bank impacts, stream banks will be restored to pre -
project grade and contours or beneficial grade and contours if the original bank slope is steep and
unstable. Natural durable materials, native seed mixes, and native plants and shrubs, if applicable, will be
used in the stream bank restoration (USACE NWP Condition).
Temporarily cleared wetlands will be re -vegetated to the maximum extent practicable with a planting
palette consisting of native species that are representative of the adjacent vegetative communities and
seed mix of canopy, shrub, and herbaceous species according to wetland type. Fescue grass or other
species that are considered "Invasive" will not be used (USACE NWP Condition).
Temporary discharge of excavated or fill material into any Waters of the U.S., including wetlands (WOUS),
will be for the absolute minimum period of time necessary to accomplish the work. Temporary discharges
will be fully contained with appropriate erosion control and containment methods or otherwise such fill
will consist of non -erodible materials. Excavated materials will be returned to the excavated areas and
any remaining materials will be disposed of in uplands (USACE NWP Condition).
This site restoration/revegetation plan is required describing how temporary stream, wetlands and buffer
impacts will be returned to previous condition and stabilized. The site restoratio n/revegetation plan
requires an herbaceous wetland seed mix for all wetlands that are disturbed. [15A NCAC 02H .0502 (g)
and 15A NCAC 02H .0506(b)(3]
Application of fertilizer to establish planted/seeded vegetation within disturbed riparian areas and/or
wetlands will be conducted at agronomic rates and shall comply with all other Federal, State and Local
regulations. Fertilizer application will be accomplished in a manner that minimizes the risk of contact
between the fertilizer and surface waters. [15A NCAC 028 .0200 and 15A NCAC 028 .0231]
All proposed and approved temporary fill/culverts will be removed and impacted areas will be returned
to natural conditions within 60 calendar days after the temporary impact is no longer necessary. The
impacted areas will be restored to original grade, including each stream's original cross-sectional
dimensions, planform pattern, and longitudinal bed profile. All temporarily impacted sites will be restored
and stabilized with native vegetation. [ISA NCAC 02H .0506 (b)(2) and (c)(2)]
3.0 Restoration Activities
The applicant will meet the permit conditions described above and as detailed in the following sections
of this Plan.
3.1 Erosion and Sediment Control
Sediment barriers and various erosion controls will be installed according to the site approved erosion
and sediment control plan (ESC Plan) to prevent sediment flow into WOUS. Erosion and sediment controls
will be maintained throughout construction and removed after restoratio n/revegetation is complete and
once the site is stabilized.
3.2 Soil Restoration
Successful revegetation is dependent on appropriate soil conditions. Unless otherwise approved by a land
managing agency or landowner, soil restoration will include:
• removal of excavated material that is not returned to the trench;
• distribution of excavated material on the work area in uplands that is of similar size and density
to adjacent areas not disturbed by construction;
• grading of the rights -of -way to restore preconstruction contours; and
• preparation of the soil for revegetation.
3.3 Soil Compaction
Soil compaction resulting from construction activities may reduce the potential for successful
revegetation of wetlands, streams, and riparian buffers from occurring. Fine -textured soils with poor
internal drainage that are moist or saturated during construction are the most susceptible to compaction
and rutting. The applicant will test for soil compaction as necessary in areas identified by the onsite EI,
who will be responsible for conducting subsoil and topsoil compaction testing and determining the need
for corrective measures.
Soil compaction impacts will be mitigated using tillage equipment during site restoration/revegetation
activities. In areas where topsoil segregation occurs, plowing with a paraplow or other deep tillage
implement (i.e., ripping) to alleviate subsoil compaction will be conducted before replacement of topsoil
and prior to any seed mix applications from occurring. Soil compaction will be remediated prior to re-
spreading of salvaged topsoil.
3.4 Topsoil Segregation and Replacement
Subsoil and all topsoil will be replaced to restore the ground surface of wetlands to pre-existing elevations.
To prevent mixing of the soil horizons into the topsoil, which could result in a loss of soil fertility, topsoil
segregation will be:
• performed in the trench line within non -saturated wetlands;
• stockpiled on the rights -of -way; and
• excluded from materials used for padding the pipe.
Upon pipeline installation, subsoil will be placed in the trench over the pipe, with the deepest original
material placed first. Topsoil will then be placed in its original position as the last layer over the trench.
Topsoil will be layered above subsoil where seeds stored in the soil will be encouraged to grow.
Topsoil segregation will generally not occur in forested areas which are not conducive to topsoil
segregation due to the amount of root materials present. Any onsite soil stockpiles will be stabilized with
appropriate native seed -mix according to the approved ESC Plan to minimize possible erosion and
sedimentation from occurring. Excess material from excavation that cannot be placed back into the
trench, due to displacement from the pipeline will be removed from the construction area and will be
placed within upland areas within the permitted limits of disturbance where it does not affect surface
flow patterns.

3.5 Wetland Seed Mixes
Temporarily cleared wetlands will be re -vegetated to the maximum extent practicable with a planting
palette consisting of native species that are representative of the adjacent vegetative communities and
seed mix of canopy, shrub, and herbaceous species according to wetland type. Fescue grass or other
species that are considered "Invasive" will not be used. Wetland seed mixes are provided in the Erosion
and Sediment Control Plan.
3.6 Fertilization
No lime or fertilizer, if required, will be used within 100 feet of wetlands or waterbodies.
3.7 Stream and Riparian Buffer Restoration
Following initial stream bank stabilization, the contractor will restore streambanks to preconstruction
contours according to the site -approved construction plans and erosion and sediment control plans.
Temporarily impacted stream banks and riparian buffer areas will be revegetated to the maximum extent
practicable with a native species seed mix for soil stabilization and restoration of native flora. Restoration
of riparian areas will:
• include restoration of stream bank integrity;
withstand periods of high flow without increasing erosion and downstream sedimentation; and
include temporary erosion control fencing, which will remain in place until stream bank and
riparian restoration is complete.
Clearing and construction techniques to support regeneration of existing riparian buffer vegetation
outside of the maintained corridor will be used as described below:
Plants will be cleared at ground level in riparian buffer areas outside of the maintained corridor.
Existing root systems will be left intact to help stabilize soils, preserve existing ground elevations,
and promote revegetation through sprouting and from existing seed stocks.
The applicant will limit removal of stumps in forested riparian buffer areas to the trench area,
excluding stump removal required for safety considerations, to facilitate re -sprouting and
reestablishment of woody species.
3.8 Wetland Restoration
Little to no grading will occur in wetlands; therefore, restoration of preconstruction contours will be
accomplished during backfilling. Subsoil will be backfilled first then topsoil will be replaced to the original
ground level leaving no crown over the trenchline. Equipment mats, and/or geotextile fabric will be
removed from wetlands following backfilling. Clearing and construction techniques to support
regeneration of existing wetland vegetation will be used as described below:
Plants will be cleared at ground level in all non -forested wetland areas outside of the trench line.
Existing root systems will be left intact to help stabilize soils, preserve existing ground elevations,
and promote revegetation through sprouting and from existing seed stocks.
In unsaturated wetlands, replacement of topsoil segregated from the trench line will promote
reestablishment of existing wetland species. Segregating topsoil preserves vegetative
propagules, which will have the potential to germinate or sprout when the topsoil is replaced.
5
• The applicant will limit removal of stumps in forested wetlands to the trench area, excluding
stump removal required for safety considerations, to facilitate re -sprouting and reestablishment
of woody species.
Unless specified by regulatory agencies, revegetation will be monitored annually until wetland
revegetation is successful. Wetland revegetation will be considered successful when vegetation
community characteristics are similar to the vegetation and percent cover of adjacent wetland areas that
were not disturbed by construction.
4.0 Inspections
The applicant will provide, at a minimum, one (1) EI throughout project duration and a second EI during
peak construction, as necessary. The EI(s) will manage construction activities by working with the selected
pipeline construction contractor on a daily basis by conducting routine site inspections. These inspections
will include the review of all BMPs, site perimeters, on-site and adjacent wetlands and streams, and
ground stabilization measures implemented throughout construction to assure that all water quality
standards are protected. The onsite EI will have the authority to "stop work" if situations present
themselves that may potentially violate environmental conditions as part of any environmental permits
and/or landowner agreements that may be in place. The EI will work with the selected pipeline
construction contractor to help identify, document, and implement appropriate corrective action
measures. During revegetation and restoration activities, the onsite EI responsibilities will include (and
are not limited to) the following:
• ensuring compliance with the requirements of this plan and applicable environmental permits;
• identifying, documenting, and overseeing corrective actions;
• verifying that the limits of authorized construction work areas are visibly marked in the field
before and during land clearing and construction activities;
• monitoring erosion and sediment control devices;
• monitoring soil stabilization measures;
• ensuring restoration of pre -construction contours and topsoil;
• ensuring appropriate seed mixes are used for wetland and riparian restoration areas;
• inspecting and ensuring the maintenance of temporary erosion control measures at least:
o daily in areas of active construction or equipment operation;
0 on a weekly basis in areas with no construction or equipment operation; and
o within 24 hours of 0.5 inch rainfall events.
• ensuring the repair of all ineffective temporary erosion control measures within 24 hours of
identification;
• keeping records of compliance or non-compliance with conditions of environmental regulatory
permits and approvals; and
• identifying areas that will require special attention to ensure stabilization and restoration success.

Appendix D
HDD Contingency Plan
HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
HDD is a common method used to install underground utilities through heavily developed areas,
roadways, waterways, steep slopes, and environmentally sensitive areas to minimize the
surface disturbance that traditional open -cut trenching methods typically require. HDD
construction generally limits disturbances along project corridors which may result in a smaller
environmental footprint.
HDD operations have the potential to release drilling fluids into the surface and subsurface
environments through nearby utilities, unconsolidated sediments, fractured bedrock and faulting
or other local structural features. The drilling fluid typically will flow into the surrounding rock and
sand and travel toward the ground surface. The drilling fluid, a bentonite slurry (other additives
may be included as well), is used as a lubricant during the drilling of the bore hole, enabling the
rock and soil cuttings from the drilling process to be carried back to a containment bay at the
ground surface at the drilling site. It also builds a borehole mud cake or lining which can act as a
seal to prevent migration of fluids either into or out of the borehole and enhance the stability and
integrity of the bore hole. Bentonite is a non-toxic, naturally occurring clay commonly used for
agricultural purposes such as decreasing water loss in ponds and soils. Other common
additives include:
Additives Functions
Polymers
Aids in maintaining borehole integrity; control
of fluid loss; management of fluid viscosity;
cuttings encapsulation; viscosifier, friction
reduction and flocculant
Clay Inhibitors / Surfactants
Reduces swelling and sticking tendencies
during drilling operations and down time;
torque reduction
Drilling Detergents
Reduces surface tension and sticking
tendency of clay cuttings; aids in prevention of
bit balling and mud rings; torque reduction
Pyrophosphates
Dispersant; aids in thinning and reduction of
flocculation in the drilling fluid; aids with bit
balling
Soda Ash
Reduces hardness of make-up water; aids the
yielding process
Note that there is no hydraulic fracturing of shale for oil or gas production associated with this
method of directional drilling on the site. The HDD bores should be designed to provide
sufficient depth below water crossings and/or wetlands to reduce the risk of drilling fluid
releasing into such features.
While drilling, fluid seepage away from the borehole is most likely to occur near the bore entry
and exit points where the drill head is shallow; although seepage can occur in any location
along an HDD. This Horizontal Direction Drilling Contingency Plan (Plan) establishes
operational procedures and responsibilities for the prevention, containment, reporting and
cleanup of fluid loss incidents associated with an HDD project. Project drawings and
specifications also provide details of the HDD portion of the project.
The contractor responsible for the work must adhere to this Plan during the HDD process.
Although HDD Contingency Plans are not routinely reviewed or commented upon by regulatory
Page 1 July 12, 2018
HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
agencies during project review and approval processes, such plans are often requested by
regulatory agencies when Inadvertent Releases (IRs) occur. Therefore, the Plan and IR reports
may come under regulatory review during regulatory visits, inspections or IR response actions.
The specific objectives of this plan are to:
1. Minimize the potential for a drilling fluid release associated with HDD activities;
2. Protect environmentally sensitive areas;
3. Provide for the timely detection of drilling fluid releases;
4. Ensure an organized, timely, and efficient response in the event of a release of
drilling fluid; and
5. Ensure appropriate notifications are made immediately to appropriate Duke Energy
project and environmental support staff. Duke Energy will be responsible for
notifications to appropriate regulatory agencies.
Pre -Construction Measures
Before any HDD commences, an environmental safety meeting will take place. This Plan will be
discussed, questions answered and any potential conflicts reconciled. The Site Supervisor shall
ensure a copy of this Plan is available (onsite) and accessible to all construction personnel. The
Site Supervisor shall ensure all workers are properly trained and familiar with the necessary
procedures for response to a drilling fluid release prior to commencement of drilling operations.
Other best -management measures are listed below:
1. Anticipated drilling fluid mixtures descriptions are to be provided during the project
review process, including all product Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) of commercial mud
mixes and additives. All such SDSs shall be maintained at the project site.
2. Appropriate HDD drilling fluid spill response items (See Appendix A) shall be kept
onsite and used if an IR of drilling fluid occurs.
3. Prior to construction, the work areas must be flagged and the environmental limits
defined (wetland boundaries, setbacks, etc.). Erosion and sediment controls will be
placed on downgradient sides of the drilling rig location and around the drilling fluid
containment bays as a preventative measure against drilling fluids leaving the drill rig
site. If the project has not necessitated the preparation of a formal Sediment &
Erosion Control Plan, Best Management Plan (BMP) details for appropriate controls
should be reviewed and considered from the Duke Energy Construction Stormwater
Planning Manual (April 2017; Document GDLP-ENV-EVS-00006). Additional details
regarding environmental sensitive areas and construction activities can be found in
this document.
Fluid Loss Response and Measures
The response of the field crew to a drilling fluid loss shall be immediate and in accordance with
procedures identified in this Plan. All appropriate emergency actions that do not pose additional
threats to sensitive resources will be taken, as follows:
1. Containment bays will be in place at both the drill entry and exit points to prevent
drilling fluid from leaving the drill rig site at the entry and exit points. Sufficient
freeboard (two (2) feet) shall be maintained in all containment bays. Silt fences,
Page 2 July 12, 2018
HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
wattles, or other appropriate measures shall be placed along the downgradient
boundaries of the drill rig site.
2. The viscosity, pressure and volume of drilling fluids will be closely observed by the
drilling contractor during HDD activities to watch for indications of fluid loss or
developing borehole conditions that could increase the likelihood of an Inadvertent
Release.
3. Drilling operations will be halted by the drill rig operators immediately upon detection
of a loss of circulation, a drop in drilling pressure or any other indicator of fluid loss.
The loss of drilling fluid to the surface is typically greatest at shallow locations,
typically near the entry and exit points of the HDD.
4. Characterization and documentation of any inadvertent release shall begin
immediately. The Site Supervisor and Site Environmental Inspector shall be notified
immediately. Once IR identification occurs, the Site Supervisor shall immediately
notify Duke Energy Environmental support staff. Photographs, details of the release,
location, volume released, receiving stream characteristics and other important
information should be collected and reported immediately to the appropriate Duke
Energy Environmental staff. Containment efforts in accordance with this Plan shall
commence immediately but clean-up of drilling fluid IRs must wait until appropriate
consultation and concurrence from Duke Energy Environmental support staff.
5. In the event of a loss of drilling fluid, the Site Supervisor and Site Environmental
Inspector shall conduct an evaluation of the situation and direct recommended
mitigation actions, based on the following guidelines of the severity of the fluid loss:
a. If the loss of drilling fluid is minor, easily contained, has not reached the
surface and is not threatening environmentally sensitive areas, drilling
operations may resume after use of an approved leak stopping compound,
redirection of the bore or alteration of drilling techniques as applicable based
on site geological conditions and equipment or operator capabilities.
b. If drilling fluid reaches the land surface, the area will be isolated with silt fence,
wattles or similar measures to contain drilling fluid.
i. A containment or relief bay may be installed on high ground to keep
drilling fluid from reaching environmentally sensitive areas and
removal will begin by vac -truck or hand tools.
ii. In areas that cannot be reached by a vac -truck for drilling fluid
removal, a tiered system of contained areas will relay drilling fluid to a
location accessible by a vac -truck and removed.
iii. If it is not possible to relay drilling fluid to a suitable location for
removal by a vac -truck, drilling contractor workers will use hand tools
and vacuums to remove the drilling fluid from contained areas.
iv. Any material coming into contact with drilling fluids shall be removed
to a depth where there are no visible signs of the spilled material,
contained and properly disposed of, as required by Duke Energy
policies. The drilling contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that
the drilling fluid material is either properly disposed of at an approved
Page 3 July 12, 2018
HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
disposal facility or properly recycled in an approved manner.
Contractor must provide Duke Energy with documented proof of
disposal.
c. If drilling fluid reaches the surface in surface waters or wetlands, the following
actions will be initiated.
i. For low volume, low flowing streams, a coffer dam (or equivalent) for
containment will be installed downstream.
ii. Photographs, details of the release, location, volume released,
receiving stream characteristics and other important information
should be collected and reported immediately to the appropriate Duke
Energy Environmental staff.
iii. For higher volume, larger flowing streams, a coffer dam (or
equivalent) may be installed both upstream and downstream.
Consideration should be given to use of bypass pumping to ensure no
flooding or potential loss of containment.
iv. Removal of drilling fluid released to high -ground will begin by
appropriate equipment or hand tools immediately. If the fluid loss is
widespread, the Site Supervisor may discuss the use of a vac -truck
with Duke Energy Environmental staff.
v. Due to potential adverse environmental impacts, no released material
located within streams or wetlands shall be removed without prior
discussion with Duke Energy Environmental support staff.
vi. Duke Energy Environmental support staff will be responsible for any
regulatory notifications.
Response Close-out Procedures
When the IR has been contained and cleaned up, response closeout activities will be conducted
at the direction of the Site Supervisor and Site Environmental Inspector and shall include the
following:
1. The recovered drilling fluid will either be recycled or hauled to an approved facility for
disposal. Contractor shall provide Duke Energy Environmental support staff with
documented proof of disposal. No recovered drilling fluids or materials will be
discharged into streams, wetlands, storm drains or any other environmentally sensitive
areas;
2. All spilled drilling fluid excavation and clean-up high ground sites will be returned to pre -
project contours using clean fill, appropriate seeding activities, as necessary. Clean up
to areas within wetlands, streams or other sensitive environmental areas will be on a site
specific basis in consultation with Duke Energy Environmental support staff and
regulatory agencies, if appropriate; and
3. All containment measures (wattles, straw bales, silt fences, etc.) will not be removed
until the site is properly stabilized and such removal is authorized by Duke Energy
Environmental support staff.
Page 4 July 12, 2018
HORIZONTAL DIRECTION DRILLING (HDD) CONTINGENCY PLAN
DUKE ENERGY
In addition to the HDD IR Documentation Form (See Appendix B) the Site Supervisor and Site
Environmental Inspector shall record narrative details of drilling fluid losses or IRs in their daily
log. The narratives shall include any notes or details regarding containment, characterization,
cleanup or stabilization activities not otherwise captured from the HDD IR Documentation Form.
Construction Re -start
For small releases which do not reach surface waters, wetlands or other environmentally
sensitive areas, drilling may continue if the release is promptly contained and cleaned up, and at
least one member of the clean-up crew remains at the drilling fluid loss location throughout the
remainder of the drilling of the bore.
For all other releases which impact environmentally sensitive areas, construction activities will
not restart without prior approval from Duke Energy Environmental staff. IRs into
environmentally sensitive areas will require at least one member of the clean-up crew to remain
at the drilling fluid loss location throughout the remainder of the drilling of the bore as well as
having one member track with, or slightly behind, the drilling head to observe any signs of
potential releases.
Bore Abandonment
Abandonment of the bore will only be considered when all efforts to control the drilling fluid loss
within the existing HDD have failed or borehole conditions have deteriorated to the extent that
completing the bore is infeasible. The borehole will be completely abandoned and a new
location determined. Any borehole abandonment locations will be documented and shown on
any as -built documents.
The following steps will be implemented during abandonment of the borehole:
1. Determine the new location for the HDD crossing.
2. Insert casing, as necessary to remove the pilot string.
3. Pump a thick grout plug into the borehole to securely seal the abandoned borehole.
Communications During an HDD Project
Communications for routine aspects of an HDD should be between the HDD Contractor Site
Supervisor and Duke Energy/Piedmont Project Manager. During IRs, the Duke Energy
Environmental Support staff should be incorporated into such dialogs for guidance and
concurrence on IR response actions. The Duke Energy Environmental Field Support staff will
provide IR details to the Duke Energy Water Subject Matter Expert (SME) for consultation and
determinations regarding regulatory notifications and response activities. The Duke Energy
Water SME will consult with appropriate Duke Energy management representatives regarding
verbal and/or written regulatory notifications and guidance for any response actions. Design
consultant should also be integrated into the activities to benefit from experience or educational
opportunities to improve or enhance HDD design or construction aspects.

Introduction
Piedmont Natural Gas (PNG) seeks to construct a 20 -mile natural gas pipeline in Pitt
County, NC, which comes under the heading "Line 439 Project" (formerly "Line 24
Project"). The Line 439 Project will service customers in the greater Greenville, NC
area (Figure 1, Appendix A).
In an effort to achieve the PNG project objectives, Dramby Environmental Consulting
(DEC) and Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) are assisting the project team with
environmental services, including a detailed delineation of wetlands and other
waters of the U.S. (WOUS). Fieldwork for the delineation was conducted between
June of 2017 and February of 2019. This delineation report describes each part of
the Line 439 Project study area, methods used to conduct the detailed delineation,
and results depicting each type of aquatic resource and potential WOUS identified
by DEC and VHB.
1.1 Study Area
The study area is comprised of approximately 664 acres of land along a proposed
project corridor in Pitt County, NC, in close proximity to the southern extent of the
City of Greenville (see Figure 1, Appendix A). All study area components are
described below.
Proposed Project Corridor: A single corridor totaling nearly 20 miles in
length and 250 feet in width. The corridor begins near Nash Joyner Road to
the west of the City, and encircles southern Greenville from west to east
before reaching the corridor terminus at Sunnyside Road.
• Construction Access Roads: Multiple temporary and permanent access roads
for construction equipment and machinery are proposed along the
proposed project corridor to provide adequate linkages to nearby roadways.
The study area for each access road is 50 -feet wide and varies in length
depending on proximity to main roads. Proposed access roads utilize
existing forest roads, farm roads, or other unpaved pathways to minimize
overlap with existing natural areas or croplands.
Introduction
Revised Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination
Laydown Yard: Approximately 17 acres across portions of two parcels (Pitt
County ID 74022 and 21973; NC PIN 4698960534 and 4698868112) at the
eastern end of the proposed corridor are included in the study area as a
proposed "laydown yard" site needed for construction staging activities. The
laydown yard is located at 3804 US 264E and accessible from the Southside
of US 264.
Project mapping is provided in Appendix A, showing the geographic location and
landscape position of each study area component described above, across a total of
24 indexed maps.
Most of the study area is comprised of existing agricultural land interspersed with
residential developments, arterial and secondary roadways, utility lines, sylvicultural
lands, and natural vegetation communities. Natural areas are typically characterized
by early successional communities where previous land management activities are
evident. The western portion of the study area also intersects the Greenville
Southwest Bypass project, construction activities for which are ongoing.
1.2 Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination
VHB and DEC conducted a detailed delineation of wetlands and other WOUS within
the project study area. The results of the delineation were reviewed in the field on
January 17, 2019 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Wilmington District's
Washington Field Office. Based on that review, a need for minor updates to the
delineation was identified. All updates requested were made and are included in this
revised report.
On behalf of PNG, VHB is requesting a Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination (PJD)
from the USACE for the entire 664 -acre study area. Information required by the
USACE to review onsite resources and authorize the PJD is provided in this report.

Methodology
To complete the delineation of potential wetlands and other WOUS within the study
area, VHB applied the technical criteria outlined in the Regional Supplement to the
Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain
Region (USACE 2010) and associated guidance to identify jurisdictional boundaries
on the Line 439 Project. Prior to beginning onsite fieldwork, VHB conducted a
preliminary offsite analysis to research known data pertaining to soil, hydrology, and
vegetation within the study area. This research was used to inform onsite fieldwork
needed to investigate existing conditions within multiple proposed routes for the
Line 439 Project.
2.1 Offsite Analysis
Preliminary offsite research for the study area was conducted using data from three
sources:
• U.S. Geologic Survey (USGS) Quadrangle Map for Greenville SW and
Greenville SE (USGS 2017)
• U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) Web Soil Survey (NRCS 1974)
• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) National Wetlands Inventory (USFWS
2017).
Datasets were downloaded from each of these sources and overlaid onto study area
mapping. Data layers for each dataset were processed using Environmental Systems
Research Institute (ESRI) ArcMap 10.5.1 and included as base maps for ESRI Collector
for ArcGIS applications to reference on tablet computers during onsite fieldwork and
analysis.
2.2 Onsite Analysis
The initial fieldwork for the onsite investigation was conducted in June 2017, and
supplementary investigations were completed through February 2019 as proposed
routing alternatives were considered. Fieldwork was led by VHB senior scientists
Douglas A. DeBerry (PhD, PWS, PWD) and Christopher R. Senfield (PWS, PWD), with
Methodology
Revised Request for Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination
support from VHB wetland scientists Tim Davis (PWS, PWD), Sean Murray, Phil
Bailey, Clay Robertson (WPIT), Joey Thompson (WPIT), Caitlin Cyrus (WPIT), and DEC
wetland scientist Autumn Tilghman.
2.2.1 Delineation Boundary Location
Delineation of potential wetlands and other WOUS boundaries was completed using
two -person teams composed of a lead delineator and a supporting wetland
scientist. Each supporting scientist was tasked with recording wetland flag locations
using VHB's mobile technology platform. Boundaries of potential wetlands were
demarcated with a series of individual pink flags scripted with "WETLAND
DELINEATION" in black print. Flags were labeled with permanent marker according
to an alpha -numeric numbering sequence designated for each jurisdictional feature,
then geo-located using GPS technology with sub -meter accuracy. Key components
of VHB's mobile technology platform included:
Apple IPad tablets supported by the ESRI Collector for ArcGIS mobile
application; and,
• Trimble's R1 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) sub -meter receiver,
utilizing the latest technology available for sub -meter accurate mobile GPS
data collection.
2.2.2 USACE Data Collection
VHB's scientists collected data describing hydrology, soil, and vegetation parameters
throughout the study area. A total of 102 data points was established to represent
the multiple types of wetlands, streams, rivers, ponds, uplands, and natural
communities present onsite. Data points were arranged to show representative
transitions between non -wetlands, uplands, and potential wetlands and other
WOUS. Data collected was used to fill out USACE Wetland Determination Data
Forms (see Appendix B) at each of the 102 observation points.
Plants encountered while sampling vegetation communities were identified to
species level, with attention to factors such as wetland indicator status, common
habitat associations, and native vs. non-native status. Species identification was
based on Weakley (2016) and corroborated with multiple sources, including Radford
et al. (1968), Beal (1977), and Weakley et al. (2012). Nomenclature follows the USACE
National Wetland Plant List (NWPL) provided by Lichvar et al. (2016).
Vegetation abundance was expressed as percent cover for each species. Percent
cover was determined using a modified Daubenmire Cover Class Scale (Mueller-
Dombois and Ellenberg 1974), in which each species within the sampling plot was
placed into a cover class category. The midpoints of each cover class were then used
to record percent cover, as shown in Table 1 below.

2.3 Quality Assurance and Quality Control
VHB's standard quality assurance and quality control (QAQC) measures were
employed throughout the offsite and onsite analysis. Each project scientist was
equipped with an advanced VHB mobile technology platform that allowed access to
real-time project data and reference material gathered from offsite analysis. The
mobile technology was deployed via the ESRI Collector for ArcGIS application,
depicting 2016 color aerial imagery, topography with 2 -foot contour intervals, USGS
base mapping (USGS 2017), soil map units (NRCS 1974), and the National Wetlands
Inventory layers (USFWS 2017) near the study area. Real-time site GIS data, including
important QA/QC tools such as track -logs and targeted quality control areas were
used in the field to track and measure complete site coverage, and for quality
control review by lead scientists. All GIS data were collected using Trimble's R1 GNSS
sub -meter receivers.

Results
The detailed delineation of potential wetlands and other WOUS conducted by VHB
and DEC on the Line 439 Project verified that aquatic resources are present within
the approximate 664 -acre study area. The results of the investigation are detailed
below with a description of data collected during the offsite and onsite analyses.
3.1 Offsite Analysis
Data resulting from VHB's offsite analysis includes assessments of site topography,
land cover, hydrology, soil types, and NWI wetlands (USGS 2017, NRCS 1974, USFWS
2017).
3.1.1 USGS 7.5 -minute Quadrangle Map Data
The study area is located on the Greenville SW and Greenville SE USGS Quadrangles
(USGS 2017). The USGS maps show that more than half of the study area is
composed of agricultural "open" lands separated by areas of forested cover,
residential development, and/or road networks. The study area crosses seven named
streams and swamps, including Juniper Branch, Fork Swamp, Swift Creek, Horsepen
Swamp, Indian Well Swamp, Mill Creek, and the Tar River. Several unnamed
headwater streams are also depicted as perennially flowing tributaries (as indicated
by a solid blue line) to the above -referenced named systems.
Although USGS maps show contour elevations that range between approximately 10
feet and 70 feet above mean sea level (msl), the higher end of that range is
representative of the majority of the Line 439 project. Elevation decreases as the
study area crosses natural drainageways, with the lowest elevation found along the
Tar River floodplain that intersects the eastern end of the project corridor.
3.1.2 NRCS Soil Map Units
Based on the NRCS Web Soil Survey (NRCS 1974), the subject site is underlain by
multiple soil map units (see Figure 2-1 to Figure 2-24, Appendix A). Table 2 shows
the map unit symbol, map unit name, and hydric classification for each NRCS soil
mapped in the subject site.

Non -tidal Freshwater Wetlands
Palustrine Forested Wetlands
PFO wetlands were the most abundant type of aquatic resource encountered within
the Line 439 Project study area. PFO wetlands types were generally associated with
three types of natural communities: 1) pine -dominated flatwoods; 2) mixed
hardwood floodplains; and, 3) black willow/cypress swamps.
Pine -dominated flatwoods with PFO wetlands were usually found on broad,
temporarily -flooded interfluves with little to no topographic relief. Vegetation was
typically characterized by an increased abundance of overstory trees such as loblolly
pine (Pinus taeda), sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua), and red maple (Acer rubrum).
Understory species consisted of sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), coastal
doghobble (Leucothoe axillaris), sweet bay (Magnolia virginiana), switch cane
(Arundinaria tecta), black highbush blueberry (Vaccinium fuscatum), and roundleaf
green brier (Smilaxrotundifolia).
At times, floodplain wetland systems had overstory tree species similar to wet
flatwoods, but with a higher abundance of red maple. Other hydrophytic trees
commonly observed in floodplains included black gum (Nyssa sylvatica), swamp
chestnut oak (Quercus michauxii), green ash (Fraxinus pennsylvanica), and willow oak
(Quercus phellos). Understory species included ironwood (Carpinus caroliniana),
sweet bay, lizard's tail (Saururus cernuus), and smallspike false nettle (eoehmeria
10 Results

cylindrica). Occasionally, floodplain systems encompassed broadly sloping transition
zones before reaching lower -elevation riparian wetlands adjacent to perennial
stream systems.
Several cypress -swamp wetlands were also found in the floodplain of Tar River in the
eastern portion of the project area. Conditions were very wet with deep surface
water inundation extending to the edges of the swamp. Based on observations of
sediment deposits 6 to 8 feet high along the bases of trees, overbank flooding of
the Tar River provides a substantial volume of water on a regular basis to these
floodplain wetlands. Dominant tree species include bald cypress (Taxodium
distichum) and black willow (Salix nigra), overtopping a variety of sedge (Carex spp.)
species mixed with other herbaceous hydrophytes.
Palustrine Scrub -Shrub Wetlands
PSS wetlands in the study area were occasionally observed in recently cleared forest
communities (e.g., cutovers) from 5 to 15 years in age, or as fringe communities in
larger wetland complexes. Vegetative composition was similar to that found in pine -
dominated flatwoods, suggesting the eventual regeneration and succession back to
a forested condition. Dense, low -diversity mixtures of loblolly pine, sweetgum, sweet
bay, woolgrass (Scirpus cyperinus), and common rush (Juncus effusus) were prevalent
in cutover PSS wetlands. In comparison, PSS wetland fringe communities had higher
diversity with species such as elderberry (Sambucus nigra), wingleaf primrose -willow
(Ludwigia decurrens), woolgrass, marsh seedbox (Ludwigia palustris), and several
smartweed species (Persicaria spp.)
Palustrine Emergent Wetlands
PEM wetlands were typically found within land use types where vegetation had been
recently modified or clear-cut. For instance, several large PEM wetlands were in
expansive "cutover" sites dominated by herbaceous species, with some woody
vegetation regeneration (typically less than 3 feet in height). Water was often found
pooling in low areas (micro depressions) associated with minor elevation changes.
Examples of plant species observed in these recently cleared wetlands include
common rush, woolgrass, Maryland meadowbeauty (Rhexia mariana), sweet bay,
jewelweed (Impatiens capensis), arrowleaf tearthumb (Persicaria saggitata), cane, and
roundleaf greenbrier.
Other emergent wetlands were found as part of maintained lawns, in fallow fields
with little to no woody vegetation, and in irregularly maintained ditches connected
to larger wetland systems. Hydrology was evidently present either from groundwater
discharge zones near the soil surface (via end osaturation), or from ponded water
collecting after rain events on restrictive soils creating episaturated conditions.
Regardless, dominant hydrophytes were observed to be present, including rice
cutgrass (Leersia oryzoides), common rush, tall yelloweyed grass (Xyris platylepis),
and various beaksedges (Rhynchospora spp.). These areas are continually maintained
either via mowing or agricultural practices and connect to larger wetland complexes.

Other Potential Waters of the U.S.
Palustrine Unconsolidated Bottom Waterbodies
PUB wetlands were less abundant than other aquatic resources found within the
study area. These features were observed to be nearly entirely unvegetated and had
substrate conditions that met the Cowardin et al. (1979) parameters applied to open
waterbodies under the PUB designation.
Riverine Perennial Stream Channels
Riverine upper perennial (R3) stream systems were usually found in association with
drainageways in which USGS maps show named stream or swamp systems. As
shown on the figure in Appendix A, these include Horsepen Swamp and Swift Creek
(Figure 4-5 to Figure 4-7), Fork Swamp (Figure 4-11), Indian Well Swamp (Figure 4-
14), Juniper Branch (Figure 4-16). The Tar River (Figure 4-22) is classified as a lower
perennial (R2) riverine system; and is the only waterbody in the project area listed as
a navigable waterbody.
Most perennial streams onsite range from approximately 5 to 15 feet in width and
are found within historically channelized drainageways with near -vertical banks.
Streambed conditions in the thalweg are often dynamic (e.g., variable sediment
deposition with increasingly embedded substrates) because of high volume flow
events and stream bank erosion. Nevertheless, stream flow was observed
throughout summer site visits in 2017 and 2018.
Intermittent Stream Channels
Riverine intermittent (R4) streams identified onsite were mostly limited to headwater
drainages, where the seasonal water table and base flow evidently drop below the
stream bed during drier periods of the year. However, instream conditions were
reflective of persistent stream flow occurring during late -winter and spring -season
increases in rainfall/water table levels.
Similar to the perennial streams within the study area, intermittent streams were
observed with a clearly defined ordinary high water mark (OHWM) reflective of
physical characteristics associated with regularly flowing water (e.g., bed and bank,
sediment sorting, etc.). Intermittent streams were assessed using the Identification
Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams from the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ 2010). Scoresheets for each intermittent
stream are provided in Appendix C.
Modified Streams
Due to the active agricultural land use characteristic of the land within the proposed
study area, modified stream features were frequently identified in ditches that had
connectivity to larger aquatic/wetland systems. Each modified stream identified was
generally observed to have evidence of conveyance of surface water between

palustrine and/or riverine systems and an OHWM. Modified streams were assessed
using the Identification Methods for the Origins of Intermittent and Perennial Streams
from the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ 2010). Scoresheets for
each modified stream are provided in Appendix C.
3.2.2 Upland Communities
Upland community types identified within the study area predominantly consisted of
existing agricultural fields currently used for soybean, peanut, and corn production.
Residential areas scattered between agricultural land uses often had maintained
lawns, or were bordered by upland forest communities buffering the edges of
wetlands. Within wetlands, occasional upland islands were located where high points
have persisted over time, supporting dominant upland species such as white oak
(Quercus alba), black cherry (Prunus serotina), winged sumac (Rhus copollinum), and
tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera). In recently cut forests, upland conditions were
indicated by a prevalence of dense winged sumac and tulip tree growth in the shrub
stratum, often densely intertwined with sawtooth blackberry (Rubus argutus).
In most cases, upland soil conditions were reflective of aerobic substrate conditions
in the upper 12 inches of the soil profile. These conditions included soil colors
typically in the brown to yellow chroma range near the soil surface, and a lack of soil
saturation (and other wetland hydrology indicators) during normal precipitation
conditions.
