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.
Page 9 of 12
' USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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.
r
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 NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in 'DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
' bZ://h2o.erw.state.nc.us/ncwetland.s/shmgide.hftnl.
' I. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
' of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plan view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
The applicant is proposing to mitigate for permanent impacts to 912 square feet at the following ratios, 2:1 for impacts tc
PFO wetlands, 1.5:1 for impacts to PSS wetlands, and 1:1 for impacts to PEM wetlands.
Since there is no proposed conversion of PFO to PEM since the PFO wetlands that have to be cleared will me allowed to
revegetate into a PSS community and will be permanently maintained as such. Please see the attached supplement title
"Impact Justification and Mitigation Supplement"

' The proposed project alternative alignment was chosen for multiple reasons, see attached
Alternative Analysis, including, but not limited to, fewer expected environmental impacts. The
1 chosen alternative required crossing fewer water bodies and associated wetlands. This factor
alone. avoided unnecessary impacts to jurisdictional areas that would have resulted from the
' utility pole placement. Further avoidance was pursued in designing the pole placement for the
proposed alignment. By altering the pole placement, permanent impacts to waters of the United
' State were avoided In an effort to minimize the unavoidable impacts resulting from pole
installation, the applicant chose to use a single pole design buried in concrete that would not
' require greater than a 16 square foot impact area. In contrast, the standard 'I-r' pole requires
approximately 60 square feet of impact for installation. Dominion has worked extensively to fast
' . avoid unnecessary permanent impacts to. wetlands and water of the United States, and where
avoidance was not practicable, they minimized the necessary impacts.
' Avoidance and minimization measures were also taken into account in determining
the
temporary impacts that would result from construction of the proposed. alignment. Temporary
impacts have been avoided through the alignment alternatives. By choosing an alignment that
crosses fewer jurisdictional features, the likelihood for temporary impacts decreases. Once the
' . best alternative alignment was chosen, the applicant worked with in-house foresters and
biologists to determine how to maintain the right of way (ROW) in a manner that would be less
' detrimental on the wetlands that are located within the proposed ROW. The result of this
coordination.was an alteration in the approach in which standard ROW maintenance is conducted.
' Instead of clearing the forested wetlands and maintaining them as an emergent wetland with
regular mowing, Dominion is proposing to allow the 22.78 acres of forested wetlands within the
' ROW to re-vegetate and establish themselves as scrub-shrub wetlands that will be permanently
maintained as such. This will be made possible through successive low volume, selective
applications of herbicides of the existing root mass left after the clearing of hardwood trees for

the installation of the transmission line. Once the trees within the ROW have been cut and
removed to upland windrows, mats will be laid over the existing scrub shrub vegetation and once
construction in that section of the ROW is complete, the mats will be removed and the existing
scrub shrub vegetation will, be allowed to come back. Over time the number of required
applications will be reduced and.eventually eliminated. This eliminates the ever-thickening cover
of fast growing root sprouts that require frequent mowing with heavy equipment. Once the
competition from these sprouts is removed, the more desirable grasses, fortes, and low growing
shrubs willre-vegetate the existing and cleared the ROW. The initial application, and any
.subsequent applications, will be made on foot with backpack sprayers in order to selectively
apply the herbicide to stumps and/or invasive species. This newly proposed method of ROW
maintenance avoids the permanent conversion of forested wetlands to emergent wetlands. It
should be noted that the existing easement had routinely been bush -hogged for maintenance
reasons.. The existing easement will be cleared one last time, prior to the construction of the
proposed alignment and then allowed to re-vegetate and establish as a scrub shrub habitat to be
maintained in the same process as the. proposed alignment. This additional acreage will increase
the ecological benefit of this new maintenance program. It is because of this self mitigating
conversion maintained scrub-shrub wetland in addition to the existing ROW being able to
establish itself and be maintained as a scrub shrub wetland that Dominion is not offering
additional mitigation for the 22.78 acres of forested wetland conversion.
. Dominion is very willing to work with the agencies in an effort to make this new
conversion plan one that willbecome a standard maintenance guide where practicable. They also
recognize that monitoring will be required to ensure that the ROW is allowed to return to and be
maintained as a scrub shrub wetland. In the NWP 12 issued by the Norfolk District Corps on
January 30, 2004, for the Virginia portion of this project, special conditions were included that
require the "...corridor be maintained in a scrub shrub community dominated by native
vegetation. The affected wetlands areas must be monitoring in the fall of years 1, 3, and5
following construction. If the corridors have not adequately vegetated in 5 years, planting and/or
additional monitoring will be required" In keeping with these conditions, Dominion is proposing

Fentress -Shawboro 230kV Transmission Line
Pre-Construction Notification
2.0 PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The proposed project is necessary to relieve projected thermal overloading on
Dominion's existing power transmission line serving southeastern Virginia and northeastern
North Carolina. As the customers in this service area require additional power in the future,
Dominion is required to ensure that the company maintains overall, long-term system reliability.
This includes planning for the effect future demands will have on the current transmission
system. (Application, Appendix, Direct Testimony and Exhibits of Virginia Electric and Power
Company, Fentress- Shawboro 239 kV Transmission Line Application no. 223 Case No. PUE-
2003, Filed February 14, 2003.)
Dominion's planning criteria is founded on the North American Electric Reliability
Council (NERC) guidelines. The maximum loading for a 230 kV transmission line cannot be
greater than 94% of the line's total capacity. This leaves 6% of the line capacity in reserve for
use in abnormal use loads and/or inclement weather. Projected load growth along the existing
line will result in the line being used at or above 100% capacity violating the reliability criteria.
(Application, Appendix, Direct Testimony and Exhibits of Virginia Electric and Power Company,
Fentress- Shawboro 239 kV Transmission Line Application no. 223 Case No. PUE-2003, Filed
February 14, 2003.)
Specifically, the expected growth rate for the next ten years in the Outer Banks area of
North Carolina is anticipated to be considerably greater than historic growth. Studies completed
on the existing transmission line reveal that this growth will leave the Outer Banks with an
increased vulnerability to voltage collapse that would leave customers without power. The
proposed upgrade will alleviate these reliability concerns. The upgrade will also provide Virginia
customers with the added benefit of increased reliability of the current power source.

Fentress -Shawboro 230kV Transmission Line
Pre-Construction Notification
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Dominion Virginia Power (Dominion) is proposing to upgrade the existing power supply
system between the existing Fentress substation (Fentress) located in the City of Chesapeake,
Virginia south through the Hickory substation in the City of Chesapeake, Virginia to the existing
Shawboro substation (Shawboro) located in Currituck County, North Carolina, see Figure 3-1.
Currently, a single 230 kV transmission line is located within a 100-foot wide portion of an
existing 150-foot right-of-way (ROW) easement from Fentress to Shawboro. The remaining 50-
foot section of easement has remained idle with the exception of a 115 kV transmission line that
is located between Fentress and Hickory.
The portion of the proposed upgrade located in North Carolina involves the construction
of a new 230 kV transmission line within the idle portion of the existing easement between the
North Carolina border and the existing Shawboro substation. From the North Carolina border
south to the Shawboro substation 14.13 miles of clearing and new transmission line construction
are necessary. The proposed project limits are within the 50 feet of idle ROW that is located
along the western side of the existing easement. The exception to this is in the southern portion
of the proposed line where 6.61 miles of a new 50-foot easement will be acquired by Dominion
adjacent to the existing 100-foot easement. This is shown on Figure 3-2.
The proposed transmission line requires the clearing of forested areas within the existing
easement, the installation of single circuit guyed steel poles buried in concrete or steel pipe pile
footers, and the installation of the power line. These single circuit steel poles will average 75 feet
in height and the average span along the corridor between structures will be approximately 400
feet (Figure 3-3). The proposed foundations are the minimum size necessary and separate
footings will be constructed for each pole.
The existing 50 feet of easement to be utilized for the proposed 230 kV transmission line
includes agricultural fields, forested land, Lolly's Creek, Moyock Run, Roland Creek Canal,
Guinea Mill Run Canal, and associated wetlands features. WEG conducted a delineation of the
waters of the United States, including wetlands within the proposed alignment in April 2003 and
determined that potentially jurisdictional features exist within the project limits and are located in
bottomland areas within the floodplains of the Moyock Run, associated wetlands, and on nearly
level mineral flats. Wetland systems encountered within the project limits are generally forested
Fentress -Shawboro 230kV Transmission Line
Pre-Construction Notification
with a lesser amount of scrub shrub and emergent systems. Portions of the forested wetland
systems encountered are classified as containing greater than 10% Taxodium distichum.
The proposed transmission line requires the installation of single circuit poles within
wetland features. The concrete or steel pipe piles will require an impact area of 16 square feet per
pole, resulting in 912.00 square feet of direct permanent wetland impacts. Please see the attached
Jurisdictional Area Impacts Map, Sheets 1-9 for impact locations. The following chart itemizes
the expected direct impacts by wetland type. While the single circuit pole locations are located
on average every 400 feet along the corridor, pole placement was reconfigured in some areas in
order to avoid pole placement within rivers and stream channels. Therefore, there are no
proposed direct impacts within waters of the United States.

While the proposed transmission line predominately traverses open, cleared, agricultural
land, small areas of forested wetlands, including areas that contain greater than 10% Taxodium
distichum, will also be traversed These forested areas will need to be cleared and therefore
converted from a forested community to a mature scrub shrub community.
Dominion submitted an application for the proposed project for review by the State of
North Carolina, Utilities Commission February 17, 2003. The Sate of North Carolina, Utilities
Commission issued a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity on June 8, 2003 (Appendix

4.0 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
The intent of the transmission line route selection process was to identify a route for a
230kV transmission line that would minimize impact on the natural and human environment
while keeping within the bounds of accepted economic and engineering practices. The process
involved the general route selection procedures suggested by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission in its publication Electric Power Transmission and the Environment (Federal Power
Commission, 1970) as well as procedures stated in the State Code of Virginia. Dominion
evaluated the economic, engineering, and environmental aspects of three routes prior to choosing
the selected option.
4.1 Alternative #1
The first alternative was to increase the capacity of an existing transmission system west
of the Outer Banks in North Carolina by increasing the capacity of the existing 115 kV lines
located in Washington and Tyrell Counties and by building a new 35 mile alignment that would
connect these circuits to the Outer Banks. This alternative requires clearing the ROW and the
construction of the necessary 35 miles of new line. This additional alignment would result in
crossings of the Alligator River, Croatan Sound, the Roanoke River, and the associated wetlands
of all three water bodies. This alternative was withdrawn due to the anticipated impacts to waters
of the United States, including wetlands, and the significant cost in acquiring, clearing, and
constructing 35 miles of new ROW and transmission line.
4.2 Alternative #2
The second alternative was to construct a new transmission line east of the proposed line
and utilizing portions of the existing easement. However, this alternative requires the
construction of 61 miles of transmission line. The immense cost required obtaining the additional
easements and to clear and construct 61 miles of ROW and transmission line makes this
alternative impracticable.
4.3 Selected Alternative
There were multiple reasons that the proposed alignment was selected. First, the State
Code of Virginia requires that any public service company must show cause as to why an existing
' Fentress -Shawboro 230kV Transmission Line
Pre-Construction Notification
easement and ROW cannot be used for a proposed project. Secondly, guideline #1 under FERC
' requires that existing easements and ROWs be given priority to proposed work. The selected
alternative complies with both of these guidelines. This state and federal compliance helps
' reduce the cost associated with getting the proposed line approved by the Commonwealth of
Virginia State Corporation Commission, Division of Energy Regulation and the State of North
Carolina Utilities Commission.
While Dominion originally focused on this alternative for its compliance with FERC, the
' decreased cost to construct and the minimized environmental impacts in comparison with the
other alternatives were the deciding factors in choosing this alignment to meet the purpose and
need of the project. This alternative does not require the acquisition new easement in Virginia
versus a minimum of 35 miles of new easement for alternative #1. This is a time and cost
consuming process. Secondly, the cost of clearing the ROW are minimized due to the current
access points and the fact that the existing and adjoining ROW can be used for access up and
down the ROW. Finally, the expected impacts to the environment are minimized. Fewer water
bodies and associated wetlands are crossed in this alternative than in the alternative alignments.
This implies that expected impacts from pole placement and clearing will also be less than would
have been necessary in the alternative alignments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
1 5.1 Threatened and Endangered Species:
' Information concerning threatened and endangered species, rare species, and unique
natural communities is available from the databases maintained by the North Carolina Office of
Conservation and Community Affairs Natural Heritage Program (NCNH) and the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Neither the NCNH nor the FWS listed any known rare,
threatened, or endangered species within the proposed project corridor.
5.2 Cultural Resources
According to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, any project requiring
Federal action (i.e. Federal permit) is subject to the requirements of this law. Since the proposed
transmission line will require a Corps permit, Section 106 will apply.
Under the provisions of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act, state agencies are
encouraged to comment on proposed projects. The North Carolina Department of Cultural
Resources (DCR) did not provide comments to the North Carolina Department of Administration
(the state clearinghouse for reviewed actions) under the North Carolina Environmental Policy
Act.

Pre-Construction Notification
6.0 COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
The primary objective of mitigation for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands
and other waters of the United States is to offset the environmental losses, and in particular
functional values lost. The applicant utilized avoidance and minimization efforts, through an
alternatives analysis on the possible alignments, to the maximum extent practicable as the first
two steps in the development of an acceptable mitigation plan. To complete the process, the
applicant proposes to mitigate for direct permanent impacts to forested wetlands at a 2:1 ratio,
scrub shrub wetlands at a 1.5:1 ratio, and emergent wetlands at a 1:1 ratio through the purchase of
credits from an approved wetland mitigation bank. Currently, the applicant is proposing to
purchase 0.02 credits from a Corps approved wetland mitigation bank for direct permanent
impacts in North Carolina. Due to the small amount of direct permanent impacts, 912.00 square
feet, onsite creation is not a practical alternative.
In an effort to provide mitigation for the minimal adverse effects the clearing of the
additional ROW will have on surrounding wildlife, Dominion has worked with the Virginia
Department of Conservation and Recreation to develop a maintenance schedule that will benefit
the surrounding wildlife. The goal of the maintenance program is to minimize long-term
maintenance cost and site disturbance through the establishment and maintenance of mature scrub
shrub communities that will provide beneficial wildlife habitat in aesthetically pleasing corridors
that require minimal maintenance activities.
Through successive low volume, selective applications of herbicides, the existing tree
root mat left after the clearing for the installation of the transmission line is reduced and
eventually eliminated. This eliminates the ever-thickening cover of fast growing root sprouts that
require frequent mowing/maintenance with heavy equipment and/or chemicals. Once the
competition from these sprouts is removed, the more desirable grasses, forbes, and low growing
shrubs will re-vegetate the cleared ROW.
After the initial applications in wetland areas have eliminated coppice brush, subsequent
applications will be made on foot with backpack sprayers in order to selectively apply the
herbicide to invasive species. This re-vegetation process will reduce the need and frequency of
maintenance operations along the ROW. The standard three-year maintenance cycle could be
increased to as many as four, five, or six years, depending on the local vegetation type.

Some wildlife will be directly impacted or displaced by conversion of forested arena of the right-
ofway to low growing vege4tion. Forests and riparian wetlands, which are sparse along several sections
of the right-of-way, provide important habitat for a variety of neotopical birds, mammals, and other
species. Rebuilding populations of wild turkey (Meleagr/,t gaIZIOrva)rely on older forests and edge
habitats in the project area for feeding, roosting, and nesting. Therefore, to minimize direct impacts on
wildlife, the Commission recommends that, to the extent practical, right-of-way clearing activities only
be
ocon ucted from Octobcr 1 to Match 30 of any ye-- to avoid the warm season nesting and brooding
pe.
In contrast to detrimental effects on wildlife, several species may benefit from habitat
conversion, particularly if mitigation measures are conducted to offset the loss of forested habitat. For
example, wild turkey may lose roosting habitat from forest clearing, but they may also benefit from the
additional open foraging habitat in portions of the right-0f--way that an relatively distant from
agricultural fields. Cottontail rabbit (Sy rvllO9WJlearldanw) and bobwhite quail (Collnus vlrgNi n w)
would also benefit if the cleared areas provide adequate cover and forage. To promote these benefits, the
Commission recommends the following Measures be incorpamated into the proje=
1. Brush piles should be constructed along the right-of-ways ruing the non-harvestible, woody
vegetation that Is cut . IMO report indicates that this material will be chipped or burned, but
productive cover for a variety of wildlife can be created if much of this material is left in
piles adjacent to forested areas,
2. Seeds of plants that are beneficial to wildlife should be used following discing to stabilize
the disturbed areas, The Commission recommends year-round planting of kobe or Korean
lcspedeza, winter-time planting of rye or wheat, and summer-time planting of millet or
sorghum. These plants provide erosion rontrol as well as forage and cover for a variety of
wildlife until native grasses become esp.. ,fished. Seed types including bahia, fescut, and
sericea lespedeza provide limited benefits to wildlife or, in the case of sericea lespedeza, are
highly invasive and inhibit eventual establishment of native grasses, Shrub lespedeza is also
a recommended perennial for the margins of the right-of-way to provide excellent forage and
cover for wildlife.
Similarly. the Commission recommends allowing landowners or their lease holders to
manage wildlife food plots In the right-of--way along forested areas. These allowances could
be communicated to landowners during contacts regarding the right-of--way addition,
3. In addition to avoiding warm season nesting and brooding periods during initial clearing,
ongoing corridor maintenance should be conducted in staggered sections to minimize
impacts to wildlife. For example, one-third of a corridor section could be mowed or treated
every year instead of the entire length in a single year. Herbicides and posticldes should not
be uccd n wetland or riparian areas.
The Commission appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project And requests that these
comments be addressed or considered before final processing of the project by the Clearinghouse. If you
need to discuss these comments please call David McHenry at (252) 946-6481 extension 345.

SUBJECT: Response on Fentress-Shawboro 239 kV Transmission Line
SCH File No. 03-E-4600-0253
' This memerandum responds to your June 5, 2003 memorandum regarding discussions of comments
on the project made by North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) on March 19, 2003.
Based on discussions with yourself and Mr. Mice Brueato on May 28, 2003, and as outlined in your
memorandum,, the Commission concurs with the suggested revision of the mitigation measures. Specifically,
the vegetation management techniques you propose to address item #3 of our comments should have minimal
impacts to fish and wildlife resources and promote wildlife habitat diversity.
' The Commission also appreciates the opportunity to pursue a cooperative wildlife plot management
with property owners and will contact Mr. Mike Bruoato in the future should we be able to develop that
I program in North Carolina. We also support the field effort to identify any rare plants and other habitats
along the proposed route and would appreciate being apprised of those results.
The Commission appreciates -the efforts of Dominion North Carolina Power to oonserve and promote
' wildlife habitat and the opportunity to discuss the impacts of the project on fish and wildlife resources. If you
need to discuss these comments further please call David McHenry at (252) 946-6481 extension 345.

' 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.
Page 9 of 12
USACE - In accordance with the Final Notice of Issuance and Modification of Nationwide
Permits, published in the Federal Register on March 9, 2000, 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 NCWRP concurrence shall be placed on hold as
incomplete. An applicant may also choose to review the current guidelines for stream restoration
in 'DWQ's Draft Technical Guide for Stream Work in North Carolina, available at
hU://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetlands/strmgide.html.
1. Provide a brief description of the proposed mitigation plan. The description should provide
as much information as possible, including, but not limited to: site location (attach directions
and/or map, if offsite), affected stream and river basin, type and amount (acreage/linear feet)
of mitigation proposed (restoration, enhancement, creation, or preservation), a plain view,
preservation mechanism (e.g., deed restrictions, conservation easement, etc.), and a
description of the current site conditions and proposed method of construction. Please attach
a separate sheet if more space is needed.
' The applicant is proposing to mitigate for permanent impacts to 912 square feet at the following ratios, 2:1 for impacts t<

The proposed project alternative alignment was chosen for multiple reasons, see attached
Alternative Analysis, including, but not limited to, fewer expected environmental impacts. The
chosen alternative required crossing fewer water bodies and associated wetlands. This factor
alone. avoided unnecessary impacts to jurisdictional areas that would have resulted from the
utility pole placement. Further avoidance was pursued in designing the pole placement for the
proposed alignment. By altering the pole placement, permanent impacts to waters of the United
' State were avoided. In an effort to minimize the unavoidable impacts resulting from pole
installation, the applicant chose to use a single pole design buried in concrete that would not
require greater than a 16 square foot impact area. In contrast, the standard 'I . r' pole requires
approximately 60 square feet of impact for installation. Dominion has worked extensively to fast
' . avoid unnecessary permanent impacts to wetlands and water of the United States, and where
avoidance was not practicable, they minimized the necessary impacts.
' Avoidance and minimization measures were also taken into account in determining
the
temporary impacts that would result from construction of the proposed alignment. Temporary
impacts have been avoided through the alignment alternatives. By choosing an alignment that
crosses fewer jurisdictional features, the likelihood for temporary impacts decreases. Once the
' best alternative alignment was chosen,. the applicant worked with in-house foresters and
biologists to determine how to maintain the right of way (ROW) in a manner that would be less
detrimental on the wetlands that are located within the proposed ROW. The result of this
coordination.was an alteration in the approach in which standard ROW maintenance is conducted
Instead of clearing the forested wetlands and maintaining them as an emergent wetland with
regular mowing, Dominion is proposing to allow the 22.78 acres of forested wetlands within the
ROW to re-vegetate and establish themselves as scrub-shrub wetlands that will be permanently
maintained as such. This will be made possible through successive low volume, selective
applications of herbicides of the existing root mass left after the clearing of hardwood trees for

the installation of the transmission line. Once the trees within the ROW have been cut and
removed to upland windrows,.mats will be laid over the existing scrub shrub vegetation and once
construction in that section of the ROW is complete, the mats will be removed and the existing
scrub shrub vegetation willbe allowed to come back. Over time the number of required
applications will be reduced and.eventually eliminated. This eliminates the ever-thickening cover
of fast growing root sprouts that require frequent mowing with heavy equipment. Once the
competition from these sprouts is removed, the more desirable grasses, forbes, and low growing
shrubs willre-vegetate the existing and cleared the ROW. The initial application, and any
.subsequent applications, will be made on foot with backpack sprayers in order to selectively
apply the herbicide to stumps and/or invasive species. This newly proposed method of ROW
maintenance avoids the permanent conversion. of forested wetlands to emergent wetlands. It
should be noted that the existing easement had routinely been bush -hogged for maintenance
reasons.. The existing easement will be cleared one last time, prior to the construction of the
proposed alignment and then allowed to re-vegetate and establish as a scrub shrub habitat to be
maintained in the.same process as the proposed alignment. This additional acreage will increase
the ecological benefit of this new maintenance program. It is because of this self mitigating
conversion maintained, scrub-shrub wetland in addition to the existing ROW being able to
establish itself and be maintained as a scrub shrub wetland that Dominion is not offering
additional mitigation for the 22.78 acres of forested wetland conversion.
Dominion is very willing to work with the agencies in an effort to make this new
conversion plan one that will become a standard maintenance guide where practicable. They also
recognize that monitoring will be required to ensure that the ROW is allowed to return to and be
maintained as a scrub shrub wetland. In the NWP 12 issued by the Norfolk District Corps on
January 30, 2004, for the Virginia portion of this project, special conditions were included that
require the "...corridor be maintained in a scrub shrub community dominated by native
vegetation. The affected wetlands areas must be monitoring in the fall of years 1, 3, and 5
Mowing construction. If the corridors have not adequately vegetated in 5 years, planting and/or
additional monitoring will be required" In keeping with these conditions, Dominion is proposing

Fentress -Shawboro 230kV Transmission Line
Pre-Construction Notification
2.0 PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
The proposed project is necessary to relieve projected thermal overloading on
Dominion's existing power transmission line serving southeastern Virginia and northeastern
' North Carolina. As the customers in this service area require additional power in the future,
Dominion is required to ensure that the company maintains overall, long-term system reliability.
' This includes planning for the effect future demands will have on the current transmission
system. (Application, Appendix, Direct Testimony and Exhibits of Virginia Electric and Power
I Company, Fentress- Shawboro 239 kV Transmission Line Application no. 223 Case No. PUE-
2003, Filed February 14, 2003.)
' Dominion's planning criteria is founded on the North American Electric Reliability
Council (NERC) guidelines. The maximum loading for a 230 kV transmission line cannot be
greater than 94% of the line's total capacity. This leaves 6% of the line capacity in reserve for
use in abnormal use loads and/or inclement weather. Projected load growth along the existing
' line will result in the line being used at or above 100% capacity violating the reliability criteria.
(Application, Appendix, Direct Testimony and Exhibits of Virginia Electric and Power Company,
' Fentress- Shawboro 239 kV Transmission Line Application no. 223 Case No. PUE-2003, Filed
February 14, 2003.)
' Specifically, the expected growth rate for the next ten years in the Outer Banks area of
North Carolina is anticipated to be considerably greater than historic growth. Studies completed
' on the existing transmission line reveal that this growth will leave the Outer Banks with an
increased vulnerability to voltage collapse that would leave customers without power. The
proposed upgrade will alleviate these reliability concerns. The upgrade will also provide Virginia
customers with the added benefit of increased reliability of the current power source.

Fentress -Shawboro 230kV Transmission Line
Pre-Construction Notification
3.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Dominion Virginia Power (Dominion) is proposing to upgrade the existing power supply
system between the existing Fentress substation (Fentress) located in the City of Chesapeake,
Virginia south through the Hickory substation in the City of Chesapeake, Virginia to the existing
Shawboro substation (Shawboro) located in Currituck County, North Carolina, see Figure 3-1.
Currently, a single 230 kV transmission line is located within a 100-foot wide portion of an
existing 150-foot right-of-way (ROW) easement from Fentress to Shawboro. The remaining 50-
foot section of easement has remained idle with the exception of a 115 kV transmission line that
is located between Fentress and Hickory.
The portion of the proposed upgrade located in North Carolina involves the construction
of a new 230 kV transmission line within the idle portion of the existing easement between the
North Carolina border and the existing Shawboro substation. From the North Carolina border
south to the Shawboro substation 14.13 miles of clearing and new transmission line construction
are necessary. The proposed project limits are within the 50 feet of idle ROW that is located
along the western side of the existing easement. The exception to this is in the southern portion
of the proposed line where 6.61 miles of a new 50-foot easement will be acquired by Dominion
adjacent to the existing 100-foot easement. This is shown on Figure 3-2.
The proposed transmission line requires the clearing of forested areas within the existing
easement, the installation of single circuit guyed steel poles buried in concrete or steel pipe pile
footers, and the installation of the power line. These single circuit steel poles will average 75 feet
in height and the average span along the corridor between structures will be approximately 400
feet (Figure 3-3). The proposed foundations are the minimum size necessary and separate
footings will be constructed for each pole.
The existing 50 feet of easement to be utilized for the proposed 230 kV transmission line
includes agricultural fields, forested land, Lolly's Creek, Moyock Run, Roland Creek Canal,
Guinea Mill Run Canal, and associated wetlands features. WEG conducted a delineation of the
waters of the United States, including wetlands within the proposed alignment in April 2003 and
determined that potentially jurisdictional features exist within the project limits and are located in
bottomland areas within the floodplains of the Moyock Run, associated wetlands, and on nearly
level mineral flats. Wetland systems encountered within the project limits are generally forested
I Fentress -Shawboro 230kV Transmission Line
Pre-Construction Notification
' with a lesser amount of scrub shrub and emergent systems. Portions of the forested wetland
systems encountered are classified as containing greater than 10% Taxodium distichum
The proposed transmission line requires the installation of single circuit poles within
' wetland features. The concrete or steel pipe piles will require an impact area of 16 square feet per
pole, resulting in 912.00 square feet of direct permanent wetland impacts. Please see the attached
' Jurisdictional Area Impacts Map, Sheets 1-9 for impact locations. The following chart itemizes
the expected direct impacts by wetland type. While the single circuit pole locations are located
on average every 400 feet along the corridor, pole placement was reconfigured in some areas in
order to avoid pole placement within rivers and stream channels. Therefore, there are no
proposed direct impacts within waters of the United States.

While the proposed transmission line predominately traverses open, cleared, agricultural

4.0 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
The intent of the transmission line route selection process was to identify a route for a
230kV transmission line that would minimize impact on the natural and human environment
while keeping within the bounds of accepted economic and engineering practices. The process
involved the general route selection procedures suggested by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission in its publication Electric Power Transmission and the Environment (Federal Power
Commission, 1970) as well as procedures stated in the State Code of Virginia. Dominion
evaluated the economic, engineering, and environmental aspects of three routes prior to choosing
the selected option.
4.1 Alternative #I
The first alternative was to increase the capacity of an existing transmission system west
of the Outer Banks in North Carolina by increasing the capacity of the existing 115 kV lines
located in Washington and Tyrell Counties and by building a new 35 mile alignment that would
connect these circuits to the Outer Banks. This alternative requires clearing the ROW and the
construction of the necessary 35 miles of new line. This additional alignment would result in
crossings of the Alligator River, Croatan Sound, the Roanoke River, and the associated wetlands
of all three water bodies. This alternative was withdrawn due to the anticipated impacts to waters
of the United States, including wetlands, and the significant cost in acquiring, clearing, and
constructing 35 miles of new ROW and transmission line.
4.2 Alternative #2
The second alternative was to construct a new transmission line east of the proposed line
and utilizing portions of the existing easement. However, this alternative requires the
construction of 61 miles of transmission line. The immense cost required obtaining the additional
easements and to clear and construct 61 miles of ROW and transmission line makes this
alternative impracticable.
4.3 Selected Alternative
There were multiple reasons that the proposed alignment was selected. First, the State
Code of Virginia requires that any public service company must show cause as to why an existing
' Fentress -Shawboro 230kV Transmission Line
Pre-Construction Notification
' easement and ROW cannot be used for a proposed project. Secondly, guideline #1 under FERC
' requires that existing easements and ROWs be given priority to proposed work. The selected
alternative complies with both of these guidelines. This state and federal compliance helps
' reduce the cost associated with getting the proposed line approved by the Commonwealth of
Virginia State Corporation Commission, Division of Energy Regulation and the State of North
Carolina Utilities Commission.
While Dominion originally focused on this alternative for its compliance with FERC, the
' decreased cost to construct and the minimized environmental impacts in comparison with the
other alternatives were the deciding factors in choosing this alignment to meet the purpose and
' need of the project. This alternative does not require the acquisition new easement in Virginia
versus a minimum of 35 miles of new easement for alternative #1. This is a time and cost
consuming process. Secondly, the cost of clearing the ROW are minimized due to the current
access points and the fact that the existing and adjoining ROW can be used for access up and
' down the ROW. Finally, the expected impacts to the environment are minimized. Fewer water
bodies and associated wetlands are crossed in this alternative than in the alternative alignments.
This implies that expected impacts from pole placement and clearing will also be less than would
have been necessary in the alternative alignments.

' 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
5.1 Threatened and Endangered Species:
' Information concerning threatened and endangered species, rare species, and unique
natural communities is available from the databases maintained by the North Carolina Office of
' Conservation and Community Affairs Natural Heritage Program (NCNH) and the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). Neither the NCNH nor the FWS listed any known rare,
' threatened, or endangered species within the proposed project corridor.
5.2 Cultural Resources
According to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, any project requiring
Federal action (i.e. Federal permit) is subject to the requirements of this law. Since the proposed
transmission line will require a Corps permit, Section 106 will apply.
Under the provisions of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act, state agencies are
encouraged to comment on proposed projects. The North Carolina Department of Cultural
Resources (DCR) did not provide comments to the North Carolina Department of Administration
(the state clearinghouse for reviewed actions) under the North Carolina Environmental Policy
Act.

6.0 COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
The primary objective of mitigation for unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands
and other waters of the United States is to offset the environmental losses, and in particular
functional values lost. The applicant utilized avoidance and minimization efforts, through an
alternatives analysis on the possible alignments, to the maximum extent practicable as the first
two steps in the development of an acceptable mitigation plan. To complete the process, the
applicant proposes to mitigate for direct permanent impacts to forested wetlands at a 2:1 ratio,
scrub shrub wetlands at a 1.5:1 ratio, and emergent wetlands at a 1:1 ratio through the purchase of
credits from an approved wetland mitigation bank. Currently, the applicant is proposing to
purchase 0.02 credits from a Corps approved wetland mitigation bank for direct permanent
impacts in North Carolina. Due to the small amount of direct permanent impacts, 912.00 square
feet, onsite creation is not a practical alternative.
In an effort to provide mitigation for the minimal adverse effects the clearing of the
additional ROW will have on surrounding wildlife, Dominion has worked with the Virginia
Department of Conservation and Recreation to develop a maintenance schedule that will benefit
the surrounding wildlife. The goal of the maintenance program is to minimize long-term
maintenance cost and site disturbance through the establishment and maintenance of mature scrub
shrub communities that will provide beneficial wildlife habitat in aesthetically pleasing corridors
that require minimal maintenance activities.
Through successive low volume, selective applications of herbicides, the existing tree
root mat left after the clearing for the installation of the transmission line is reduced and
eventually eliminated. This eliminates the ever-thickening cover of fast growing root sprouts that
require frequent mowing/maintenance with heavy equipment and/or chemicals. Once the
competition from these sprouts is removed, the more desirable grasses, forbes, and low growing
shrubs will re-vegetate the cleared ROW.
After the initial applications in wetland areas have eliminated coppice brush, subsequent
applications will be made on foot with backpack sprayers in order to selectively apply the
herbicide to invasive species. This re-vegetation process will reduce the need and frequency of
maintenance operations along the ROW. The standard three-year maintenance cycle could be
increased to as many as four, five, or six years, depending on the local vegetation type.

application pursuant to G.S. 62-101 and 62-102 and Rule R8-62 of the Commission
Rules and Regulations for a cettiflcate of environmental compatibility and public
convenience and necessity to construct a new approximately 14.13 mile 230 kV
transmission line in Currituck County, North Carolina.
' The new 230 kV transmission line will be constructed adjacent to an existing 230
kV transmission line from the existing Hickory Substation In Chesapeake, Virginia, to
the existing Shawboro Substation In Cunituc k County, North Carolina. The
aPProxjm,a?tely 7.52 miles of new 230 kV transmlWon line will be constructed in the
vacant portion of the existing 1504oot right-of-way (ROW) between the Hickory
Substation and a point near Snowden, North Carolina, 1.1 miles north of SR 1210
' (Snowden Road) west of Highway 168. From that point to the Shawboro Substation,
the approximately 6.61 miles of new line will be constructed on a new 6040ot ROW to
be obtained adjacent to the existing 1004oot ROW.
' The new Hickory-Shawboro line Is necessary to assure that the Company's
transmission facilities continue to meet the projected load growth In a reliable manner
consistent with the Company's reliability contingency guidelines for transmission
facilities. The proposed project Is necessary to relieve projected thermal overloading
and avoid potential voltage collapse of the transmission system In northeastern North

Some wildlife will be directly impacted or displaced by conversion of forested areas of the right-

of the right-of-way, provide important habitat for a variety of aeotrop""" birds, mammals, and other
species. Rebuilding populations of wild turkey Melea It al!

periods.
be
In contrast to detrimental effects on wildlife, several species may benefit from habitat
conversion, particularly if tnitigadon measures are conducted to offset the loss of forested habitat. For
example, wild turkey may lose roosting habitat from forest clearing, but they may also benefit from the
additional open foraging habitat in portions of the right-of-way that are relatively distant from
agricultural fields. Cottontail rabbit (Sylvilagur,noridanus) and bobwhite quail (Colinas vlrgintanw)
would also benefit if the cleared areas provide adequate covet and forage. To promote these benefits, the
Commission recommends the following measures be incorporated into *io project.
1. gush plies should be constructed along the right-of--ways using the non-harvestible, woody
vegetation that is cut. The report Indicates that this material will be chipped or burned, but
productive cover for a variety of wildlife can be created if much of this material is left in
plies adjacent to forested areas.
3. Seeds of plants that are beneficial to wildlife should be used following discing to stabilize
the disturbed areas. The Commission rocommends year-round planting of kobe or Korean
Icspedeza, winter-time planting of rye or wheat. and summer-time planting of millet or
sorghum. These plants provide erosion rtontrol as well as forage and cover for a variety of
wildlife until native grasses become es... ,Ilshed. Seed types including bahia, fescue, and
sericea lespedeza provide limited benefits to wildlife or, in the case of sericea lespedeza, are
highly Invasive and Inhibit eventual establishment of native grasses, Shrub lespedeza is also
a recommended perennial for the margins of the right-of-way to provide excellent forage and
cover for wildlife.
Similarly. the Commission recommends allowing landowners or their lease holden to
manage wildlife food plots in the right-of--way, along forested areas. These allowances could
be communicated to landowners during contacts regarding the right-of--way addition.
3. In addition to avoiding wrum season nesting and brooding periods during initial clearing,
ongoing corridor maintenance should be conducted In staggered sections to minimize
impacts to wildlife. For example, one-third or a corridor section could be mowed or treated
every year Instead of the entire length in a single year. Herbicides and pesticides should not
be u.--.d in wetland or riparian areas.
The Commission appreciates the opportunity to comment on this project and requests that these
comments be addressed or considered before final proceuing of the project by the Clearinghouse. If you
need to discuss these comments please call Davl4 McHenry at (252) 946-6481 extension 345.

DATE: June 9, 2003.
SUBJECT: Response on Fentress-Shawbom 239 kV Transmission Line
SCH File No. 03-E-4600-0253
This memorandum responds to your June 5, 2003 memorandum regarding discussions of comments
on the project made by North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (Commission) on March 19, 2003.
Based on discussions with yourself and Mr. Mice Brucato on May 28, 2003, and as outlined in your
memorandum, the Commission concurs with the suggested revision of the mitigation measures. Specifically,
tho vegetation management techniques you propose to address item #3 of our comments should have minimal
impacts to fish and wildlife resources and promote wildlife habitat diversity.
The Commission also appreciates the opportunity to pursue a cooperative wildlife plot management
with property owners and will contact Mr. Mike Bruoato in the fl:ture should we be able to develop that
program its North Carolina. We also support the field effort to identify any rare plants and other habitats
along the proposed route and would appreciate being apprised of those results.
The Commission appreciates •the efforts of Dominion North Carolina power to conserve and promote
wildlife habitat and the opportunity to discuss the impacts of the project on fish and wildlife resources. If you
need to discuss those comments further please call David McHenry at (252) 946-6481 extension 345.
