4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of this Project is to modernize a portion of the Piedmont Natural Gas existing pipeline system. The Project will allowfor the removal from service and abandonment in-place
of approximately 31 miles of steel pipe. Piedmont Natural Gas risk analysis has prioritized the replacement of these aging facilities. In order to maintain existing natural gas
transportation service provided by Lines 37 and 38, approximately 21.8 miles of new 12 -inch diameter steel pipeline and 9.8 miles of new 6 -inch diameter steel transmission pipeline will
be installed. The proposed in-service date for the completed Project is Q4 2019.
NOTE—This resubmittal is to document two alignment changes proposed on Line 448. Minor alignment changes are proposed to the Line 448 construction footprint from the footprint
authorized under Nationwide Permit 12 (SAW -2018-02342) and 401 Permit (DWR # 18-1737). Piedmont is requesting approval to update the permit SAW -2018-02342 and DWR 18-
1737 authorizing the change to impact locations for two aquatic resources, W41A- 448 Wetland 41 and 448 Stream S17 (listed as S12 and S13 in the impacts table below). The
impacts table below has been updated to reflect the proposed changes for Wetland W41A and Stream S17 (S12 and S13 records in the impacts table below).
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
Piedmont Natural Gas is proposing to construct and operate two natural gas pipelines to replace portions of Lines 37 and 38 on their existing natural gas system, located in Sampson
County, North Carolina. The Project includes:
> Line 448
– Installation below -ground of approximately 21.8 miles of 12 -inch diameter steel pipeline
– Installation above -ground of new launcher and receiver facilities at the beginning and end of the pipeline
– Installation above -ground of two new meter stations at the beginning and end of the pipeline
– Installation above -ground of four new regulator stations along the pipeline
– Installation above -ground of two new mainline valves along the pipeline
> Line 449
– Installation below -ground of approximately 9.8 miles of 6 -inch diameter steel pipeline
– Installation above -ground of new launcher and receiver facilities at the beginning and end of the pipeline
– Installation above -ground of one new meter station
– Installation above -ground of two new regulator stations
– Installation above -ground of one new mainline valve
> Abandon in-place and retire existing Lines 37 and 38 and associated equipment
Typical pipeline construction equipment will be used including trackhoe excavators, horizontal directional drill rigs, semi -truck haulers, pipeline stringing equipment, welding trucks, and
vehicles. Upon construction completion, project work areas will be restored to pre -construction contours and revegetated by applying appropriate seed mixes. Temporary work areas will
be returned to prior land uses. The permanent easement will be maintained (i.e., periodically mowed) in an herbaceous state for operations and safety. Across all wetlands and streams,
the permanently maintained right-of-way will be a maximum of 30 -feet -wide.
Following is a typical construction sequence for the Project:
1. Civil survey - Before the start of construction, land surveys will be completed, land or easement acquisitions will be finalized and the pipeline centerline and construction workspace
Wil be marked. The entirety of the construction workspace will be surveyed and staked. Existing utility lines and other sensitive resources, identified in easement agreements or by
federal and state agencies, will be located and marked to prevent accidental damage during pipeline construction.
2. Clearing Operations - Initial clearing operations will occur prior to construction of the Project and will include the removal of vegetation within the construction workspace either by
mechanical or hand cutting. The limits of clearing will be identified and flagged in the field prior to any clearing operations. In wetlands, trees and brush will either be cut with rubber -tired
and/or tracked equipment or hand -cut. Unless grading is required for safety reasons, wetland vegetation will be cut at ground level, leaving existing root systems intact. In uplands,
rootstock will be left in the temporary construction ROW wherever possible to encourage natural revegetation.
The cleared construction ROW will be kept to approved limits of construction to allow for spoil storage, equipment operation, staging, assembly of materials, and all other activities
required to safely construct the pipeline. Following clearing and before grading activities, erosion and sediment controls will be installed.
3. Pipeline Stringing, Bending and Assembly - Stringing involves transporting individual joints of pipe to the ROW by truck; the joints are typically placed along the proposed trenchline in
a single continuous line making them easily accessible to the construction personnel on the working side of the trench (opposite of the spoil side). This will allowthe subsequent lineup
and welding operations to proceed efficiently.
Pipe will be delivered to the Project site in straight sections. Field bending of the pipe will be required in some situations such as to allow the pipeline to cross drainages and follow the
natural grade and direction changes of the ROW. Selected joints will be field -bent by track -mounted hydraulic bending machines, as necessary, prior to line-up and welding.
Following stringing and bending, the joints of the pipe will be placed on temporary supports adjacent to the trenchline. The ends will be carefully aligned and welded together using
multiple passes, which will provide for a full penetration weld. Only qualified welders will be permitted to perform the welding. Welders will be qualified according to Piedmont
requirements and will adhere to applicable American Welding Society, American Society of Mechanical Engineers and American Petroleum Institute (API) Standards.
Following welding, the previously uncoated ends of the pipe at the weld joints will be epoxy coated. Coating at the joints and on the remainder of the completed pipe section will be
inspected visually and by using an electronic holiday (i.e., coating flaw) detector with the voltage calibrated for the type and thickness of coating; any damaged areas will be repaired.
4. Trench Excavation - A trench will be excavated to the proper depth to allow for the burial of the pipe. In general, the trench will be deep enough to provide for approximately three feet
of cover over the pipelines as required by 49 CFR Part 192 of the USDOT regulations. Deeper burial is required in specific areas such as road crossings, vwaterbody crossings, utility
ROW crossings, and other areas as necessary to maintain the integrity of the line. The excavated material will be temporarily placed next to the trench. The trench will be excavated by
a backhoe or ditching machine. Should it become necessary to remove water from the trench, it will be pumped to an off -ROW, stable, vegetated upland area (where practicable) and/or
filtered through a filter bag or siltation barrier.
5. Pipe Lowering, Padding and Backfilling - Prior to lowering in the pipe, the trench will be inspected to ensure that it is free of rocks and other debris that could damage the pipe or its
coating. After the trench is cleared of loose rock and debris and water pumped out, if necessary, the pipe will be lowered into the trench by lifting completed pipe sections off the
temporary supports and lowering them by using sideboom tractors. The pipe and trench will also be inspected to ensure that the pipe and trench configurations are compatible. In sandy
soils, the trench is shaped to support the pipe. In areas where the trench contains rock, a sand bedding is placed on the bottom of the trench, and/or pads made of sandbags and/or
clay are placed at regular intervals along the trench bottom to support the pipe. Once the sections of pipe are lowered -in, the tie-in crew makes the final welds in the trench. Additional
excavations, lowering in, lining up, welding, nondestructive weld inspection and coating the final welds, as needed, will be completed by a tie-in crew.
After the pipe is lowered into the trench, the trench will be backfilled. All suitable previously excavated material will be pushed back into the trench using bladed equipment or
excavators. In areas where excavated material is unsuitable for backfilling, additional select fill may be required. Where the previously excavated material contains large rocks or other
materials that could damage the pipe or its coating, screened fill (padding) will be placed around the pipe prior to backfilling. Screened fill materials will be generated from excavated
material and processed with a track mounted padding machine or a bucket screener on a trackhoe. In no case will topsoil be used as padding material. Once the pipe is padded, the
trench is then backfilled with suitable excavated subsoil material. The top of the trench may be slightly crowned to compensate for settling except for within paved areas, where standard
compaction methods will be employed. The topsoil is then spread across the graded construction ROW where applicable. The soil will be inspected for compaction, and scarified as
necessary.
6. Hydrostatic Testing - The entirety of the pipeline will be pressure tested prior to being placed into service in accordance with USDOT requirements to ensure its integrity for the
intended service and operating pressures. Any leaks detected will be repaired and the segment retested.
7. Clean-up and Restoration - After a segment of pipeline has been installed, backfilled, and successfully tested, the construction ROW and other disturbed areas will be finish -graded
and the construction debris will be removed and disposed of properly. To the degree possible, land contours will be restored to conform to adjacent areas. Permanent erosion and
sediment control measures, including diversion terraces (slope breakers), trench breakers, and revegetation will be implemented. In general, every effort will be made to complete final
cleanup (including final grading) and installation of permanent erosion control measures within 20 days after the trench is backfilled. These restoration activities will be completed in
residential areas within 10 days of backfilling. Fences will be restored or repaired as necessary. Private and public property such as fences, gates, driveways, and roads that have been
disturbed by the Project construction will be restored to original condition.
Revegetation will be completed in accordance with permit requirements and written recommendations on seed mixes, rates, and dates obtained from the local soil conservation authority
or other authorized agencies. The ROW will be seeded following final grading and as weather and soil conditions allow. Alternative seed mixes specifically requested by the landowner
or required by agencies will be used as required.
8. Road Crossings - Generally, boring is the preferred method to cross roadways. Boring entails drilling a horizontal shaft below the roadways through which the pipe will pass. First, a
vertical bore pit is excavated on one side of the roadway and a receiving pit excavated on the other. The bore pit is excavated to a depth equal to the depth of the bore hole and is
graded such that the bore will follow the grade of the pipe. A boring machine is lowered to the bottom of the bore pit and placed on supports. The machine drills a horizontal shaft under
the roadway using a cutting head mounted on an auger. After the pipe is installed the boring machine is removed and the pipe is tied -in to the pipeline.
9. Wetland Crossings - The Project will adhere to Federal and State permit requirements, including and not limited to, the General and Regional Conditions of the USACE 404 NWP 12
Permit regarding construction practices relating to wetlands within the construction workspace. Construction methods will minimize the extent and time that construction equipment
operates in wetland areas. When wetland soils are inundated or saturated to the surface, the pipeline trench will be excavated across the wetland by equipment supported on wooden
construction mats to minimize the disturbance to wetland soils. In wetlands that have firm substrates, and are unsaturated, the top 12 inches of wetland topsoil will be segregated to the
extent practicable. Pipe segments will be fully assembled prior to trench excavation.
10. Stream Crossings - Streams will be crossed using an open trench, dry -crossing method, or an HDD. As such, construction equipment will not contact flowing water in the channel.
Spoil removed during trenching will be stored away from the water's edge and protected by erosion and sediment containment structures. Where dry -crossing methods are employed,
temporary work areas will be required for assembly of the pipe strings and temporary spoil storage areas. The work area will be restricted to the minimum area necessary to safely
construct the waterbody crossing and accommodate any stockpile of excavated material from the trench. A description of dry -crossing methods commonly used are:
a. Dam -and -Pump: utilize the construction of temporary dams within the channel (i.e., sand bags or equivalent) to prevent sediment and/or other pollutants from entering the waterbody,
and sufficient pumps to maintain downstream flows. The pump intake will be screened to minimize entrainment of fish. Pumps will transport water in hoses across the construction
workspace and discharge flow back into the stream channel below the crossing location. The discharge rate will be monitored to prevent stream bank erosion.
b. Darn -and -Flume: utilize the construction of temporary dams within the channel (i.e., sand bags or equivalent) to prevent sediment and/or other pollutants from entering the waterbody,
and flumes (e.g., clean pipes, culverts, etc.) to maintain downstream flows. The flume intake elevation will be established at the dam structure. Flumes will transport water across the
construction workspace and discharge flow back into the stream channel below the crossing location. The discharge rate will be monitored to prevent stream bank erosion.

3j. Comments:
Al intermittent and perennial streams, and all jurisdictional ditches, crossed by the Project have been included in the table above and the
Ag Resources and Impacts tab within the USACE ORM Upload Spreadsheet.
A PDF copy of the Stream Impact Table from the Delineation Report has been provided in the Miscellaneous Section to assist with cross-referencing
the ePCN automatic numbering (e.g., S1, S2, etc.) with the Project ID used in the map figures provided. The HDD latitude/longitude locations are
provided in Table 2.4-1 attached to the Miscellaneous Section.
E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
The Project has been designed to be co -located with (adjacent to) the eAsting Line 37 and Line 38 permanent easement, to the extent practicable. To
the extent practicable, wetland and stream crossings have been designed to cross perpendicularly, minimizing the length of pipeline within aquatic
resources. Large wetland and stream systems are proposed to be crossed using HDD methods, thereby minimizing surface impacts (refer to Table
2.4-1 in Delineation Report). Above -ground facilities have been sited to avoid wetland and waterbody impacts. No permanent loss of wetlands or
waterbodies are expected to occur as a result of the project.
1 b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Large wetland and stream systems are proposed to be crossed using HDD methods, thereby minimizing surface impacts (refer to Table 2.4-1 in
Delineation Report). Pipeline construction within wetlands and for stream crossings will be conducted in accordance with Best Management Practices
as identified within USACE General and Regional Conditions and within the FERC Wetland and Waterbody Construction and Mitigation Procedures.
The Project will implement erosion and sediment control measures identified in the Stormwater Management Plan. Upon construction completion,
project work areas will be restored to pre -construction contours and revegetated by applying appropriate seed mixes. Temporary work areas will be
returned to prior land uses. The permanent easement will be maintained (i.e., periodically mowed) as herbaceous cover for operations and safety. In
accordance with USACE Conditions and the FERC Wetland and Waterbody Procedures, reclamation will commence upon construction completion to
achieve site stabilization as soon as practicable after construction activities.
Wetland Crossings - The Project will adhere to Federal and State permit requirements, including and not limited to, the General and Regional
Conditions of the USACE 404 NWP 12 Permit regarding construction practices relating to wetlands within the construction workspace. Construction
methods will minimize the extent and time that construction equipment operates in wetland areas. When wetland soils are inundated or saturated to the
surface, the pipeline trench will be excavated across the wetland by equipment supported on wooden construction mats to minimize the disturbance to
wetland soils. In wetlands that have firm substrates, and are unsaturated, the top 12 inches of wetland topsoil will be segregated to the extent
practicable. Pipe segments will be fully assembled prior to trench excavation.
Stream Crossings - Streams will be crossed using an open trench, dry -crossing method, or an HDD. As such, construction equipment will not contact
flowing water in the channel. Spoil removed during trenching will be stored away from the water's edge and protected by erosion and sediment
containment structures. Where dry -crossing methods are employed, temporary work areas will be required for assembly of the pipe strings and
temporary spoil storage areas. The work area will be restricted to the minimum area necessary to safely construct the waterbody crossing and
accommodate any stockpile of excavated material from the trench. A description of dry -crossing methods commonly used are:
a. Darn -and -Pump: utilize the construction of temporary dams within the channel (i.e., sand bags or equivalent) to prevent sediment and/or other
pollutants from entering the w®terbody, and sufficient pumps to maintain downstream flows. The pump intake will be screened to minimize entrainment
of fish. Pumps will transport water in hoses across the construction workspace and discharge flow back into the stream channel below the crossing
location. The discharge rate will be monitored to prevent stream bank erosion.
b. Darn -and -Flume: utilize the construction of temporary dams within the channel (i.e., sand bags or equivalent) to prevent sediment and/or other
pollutants from entering the waterbody, and flumes (e.g., clean pipes, culverts, etc.) to maintain downstream flows. The flume intake elevation will be
established at the dam structure. Flumes will transport water across the construction workspace and discharge flow back into the stream channel
below the crossing location. The discharge rate will be monitored to prevent stream bank erosion.
