There must be some concern that I'm overlooking. After reading through
this application front to back, it seems they have done everything
reasonably possible to avoid long term impacts, short of replanting
trees, which is contradictory to what they propose. I've heard some of
the "cons" to such projects before, but it seems that on something this
size, the only way to further avoid impacts would be relocate around,
which is nigh impossible on linear projects like this, or make the ROW
more narrow. 100' ROW may seem like of a lot, but that's only fifty ft
on either side of the pole. Their arguement seems reasonable for this
width. Since I don't have any buffer rules in the FRO, I guess the
streamside tree cutting issue wouldn't apply to the southern end of the
project. The application indicates a scrub/shrub ground cover will be
maintained, so erosion should not become an issue, and construction
practices sound like they will not create much bare earth.
Any certification should hold them strictly to the construction
practices they have outlined in the permit.
If I'm missing something major, please let me know for my benefit and
future projects.

RF-CEIVED
Subject: Preconstruction Notification for New Overhead Electric Transmission Lines
Dear Mr. Domey:
Progress Energy Carolinas (PEC) is preparing to construct a new 230-kV transmission
line and a 115-kV tap to enhance power quality and improve reliability for the citizens
of Wayne, Duplin and Sampson counties. PEC is requesting review of the project by
the Corps and NCDWQ for consistency under Nationwide Permit No. 12.
The Lee - Mt. Olive - Clinton 230kV transmission line project will extend for
approximately 28.5 miles from an existing substation near PEC's Lee Plant, in Wayne
County, to a substation near Clinton, in Sampson County. The project also includes
construction of a four mile, I I5kV transmission tap (feeder) to serve customers of Tri-
County EMC near Mt. Olive. Construction will generally involve clearing a 100-foot
wide right-of-way (ROW), setting poles, and stringing the conductors. This ROW is
the minimum width typically utilized for this type of overhead line, consistent with
standard construction, practices, code requirements and maintenance guidelines.
PEC retained Burns & McDonnell to perform a routing study and analysis for the
proposed project. The objective was to identify potential route alternatives offering
reliable transmission of electric power, while minimizing adverse impacts on the social
and natural environment. In addition to identifying areas with significant cultural or
natural resources, the study also took into account homes, roads, public lands,
businesses and input from the public. Based on these parameters and engineering
criteria, the preferred route was selected to minimize the total project impact with
respect to both the natural environment and socioeconomic factors within the study
area.
Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.
PH Box ]Y'l
H;dnigh, NC MW
The total project will require 296 structures, primarily direct-embedded single poles,
and the ROW will encompass approximately 332 acres. Where possible along the
proposed route, PEC has minimized the ROW width by co-locating the proposed
transmission line adjacent to existing lines. On this project, approximately 5.6 miles of
the total 32.5 mile length will be co-located, reducing the required ROW to 85 feet. In
addition, approximately 3 miles of the project will be constructed as "double-circuit"
line, reducing the additional required ROW width to only 15 feet. In combination,
these two design configurations reduce the area of cleared ROW required for this
project by nearly 33 acres. Additionally, because a portion of the route will cross active
pasture or cultivated lands, approximately 132 acres of new ROW will require no
further clearing or disturbance.
PEC will use its standard clearing techniques which include only above-ground cutting
of vegetation. There will be no grubbing of stumps, blading, or other similar land
disturbing activities. All ROW in jurisdictional wetlands will be hand cut to avoid
rutting.
Significant efforts were made to avoid impacting streams, ponds and wetlands. The
route crosses a total of 22 streams and 3 ponds; however, no structures will be placed in
or near either of these waters. All stream crossings will be as near perpendicular as
possible, with the primary objective being to minimize the project's overall impact to
riparian buffers. Similarly, the project will cross 75 jurisdictional wetlands, accounting
for 74.86 acres of the new ROW. The majority of the wetlands acreage is forested
(43.32 acres), with the remainder being combinations of emergent/scrub/shrub/forested
types, as described in the accompanying report.
Because of the expanse of wetlands in this area, and limitations on distances between
structures supporting the line, 50 of the 296 structures for the project must be placed in
wetlands. These structures will be "direct-embedded", i.e., a hole will be augered, the
poles set, and the native soil replaced in the hole. No concrete, stone or other
foundation material will be discharged, nor will the existing contours be changed. The
approximate "footprint" (basal area) of poles is 4.9 square feet (2.5 feet in diameter).
Thus, placing 50 such poles in wetlands will permanently impact only 0.0056 acre of
jurisdictional wetlands.
During the construction, no roads will be built in jurisdictional areas. Access to set
structures in wetlands will utilize mats (for conventional vehicles) or low ground
pressure vehicles. Equipment staging areas will be located outside of jurisdictional
areas.
Wetland areas located within the ROW will be maintained as emergent and/or scrub-
shrub wetlands during the life of the transmission line. PEC will periodically mow the
ROW to ensure that the required safety clearances are maintained under the line, but no
further development (structures, etc) of the ROW will be allowed.
The project has been surveyed for threatened and endangered species, and construction
should have no impact to listed species. Similarly, The NC State Historic Preservation
Office has reviewed the project, and that office's concerns are being addressed.
We would appreciate your review of the enclosed PCN. If you have any questions,
please contact Mr. Buzz Bryson in our Environmental Services Section at 919-546-
6637 or buzz.brysonCa?pynmail.com.
Thank you for this consideration.

10. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
The project involves construction of overhead electric transmission line including clearing of
right-of-way (ROW) setting of steel poles and stringing of overhead lines Jurisdictional
waters/wetlands have been avoided to the extent possible. Where the overhead line must
cross jurisdictional areas, those areas will be hand cleared. ROW width will generally be 100
feet. Where practicable, the required new ROW width has been reduced to 85 feet by co-
locating the proposed line adjacent to existing lines or to 15 feet by using "double circuit"
constriction. Vegetation will be cut to near-ground level but root mats will be left in place
to allow rapid regrowth of native vegetation. No strictures will be located in streams and
stream crossings will be perpendicular to the extent possible To the extent possible
strictures were located outside of wetlands. However, limitations on structure separation
(span) required 50 of approximately 300 structures be placed in wetlands These strictures
will be "direct-embedded", i.e. a hole will be angered the steel pole placed in the hole and
the hole backfilled with the native soil. No rock concrete or other foundation material will
be discharged. Contours will remain unchanged. Access to areas where strictures must be
placed in wetlands will be accomplished using low-ground-pressure vehicles or mats No fill
material for temporary or permanent roads will be placed in jurisdictional areas Other than
the footprint of the structures themselves (approx. 0.0056 acre) there will be no permanent
loss of wetlands. Forested wetlands will be converted to emergent/scrub/shrub wetlands
Any equipment staging areas required will be located outside of streams wetlands or buffer
area boundaries.
11. Explain the purpose of the proposed work: Project is needed to maintain level of electricity
supply and margin required under franchise issued by the North Carolina Utilities
Commission.

VI. Proposed Impacts to Waters of the United States/Waters of the State
It is the applicant's (or agent's) responsibility to determine, delineate and map all impacts to
wetlands, open water, and stream channels associated with the project. The applicant must also
provide justification for these impacts in Section VII below. All proposed impacts, permanent
and temporary, must be listed herein, and must be clearly identifiable on an accompanying site
plan. All wetlands and waters, and all streams (intermittent and perennial) must be shown on a
delineation map, whether or not impacts are proposed to these systems. Wetland and stream
evaluation and delineation forms should be included as appropriate. Photographs may be
included at the applicant's discretion. If this proposed impact is strictly for wetland or stream
mitigation, list and describe the impact in Section VIII below. If additional space is needed for
listing or description, please attach a separate sheet.
1. Provide a written description of the proposed impacts:
The impacts to wetlands and waters are limited to placing 50 steel poles in jurisdictional
wetlands. No non-native material (rock, concrete, etc.) will be placed in wetlands areas. The
right-of-way will be hand-cut in jurisdictional areas to avoid rutting. Placement of structures in
wetlands will be accomplished by low ground pressure vehicles or conventional vehicles
working off of construction mats. No roads, buildings or staging areas will be located in
jurisdictional areas. A complete description of all jurisdictional areas and their delineation is
provided in the attached report.

Proposed use or purpose of pond (e.g., livestock watering, irrigation, aesthetic, trout pond,
local stormwater requirement, etc.): N/A
Size of watershed draining to pond: N/A Expected pond surface area: N/A
VII. Impact Justification (Avoidance and Minimization)
Specifically describe measures taken to avoid the proposed impacts. It may be useful to provide
information related to site constraints such as topography, building ordinances, accessibility, and
financial viability of the project. The applicant may attach drawings of alternative, lower-impact
site layouts, and explain why these design options were not feasible. Also discuss how impacts
were minimized once the desired site plan was developed. If applicable, discuss construction
techniques to be followed during construction to reduce impacts.
Progress Energy has used an integrated approach to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional
waters/wetlands as well as homes roads natural and cultural areas commercial sites and other
features. The route selection process includes a high-level route alternative analysis, subsequent
on-the-ground evaluations, and public meetings to allow input from local residents. Where
possible, ROW width has been minimized by co-locating the proposed line adjacent to existing
lines or by "double circuit construction. These two techniques reduced the area impacted by
vegetation cutting by 33 acres. The construction process avoids impacting waters/wetlands to
the extent possible, by hand cutting wetlands. Vegetation is cut to ground level, with no
"blading" or stump removal. Cut vegetation is chipped and broadcast on the uplands portion of
the ROW to provide ground cover. Root mats are left intact so that native vegetation can quickly
re-establish within the ROW. Mats and/or low-ground-pressure vehicles are used to set poles; no
roads will be constructed. Poles are set in place by augering a hole, setting the pole and back-
filling the hole with native material. No additional foundation material (rock or concrete) is
added. Original contours are maintained.
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.
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
Page 6 of 9
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
http://li2o.enr.state.nc.us/newetIands/strm,i4idC.htm1.
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.
No mitigation is proposed.
2. Mitigation may also be made by payment into the North Carolina Wetlands Restoration
Program (NCWRP). Please note it is the applicant's responsibility to contact the NCWRP at

Re: Wetland and Stream Delineation, Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Evaluation on the Lee
Plant/Mt. Olive/Clinton Transmission Line Project, Wayne, Duplin, & Sampson Counties, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Buckner:
' Thank you for contacting Environmental Services, Inc., (ESI) concerning the above referenced project. It is our
understanding that you requested a jurisdictional wetland and stream delineation, Global Positioning System
(GPS) delineation mapping, preliminary Threatened and Endangered species habitat evaluation, and cultural
resources review. These tasks were completed on the approximately 28-mile 230kV transmission line between
the Lee Plant Substation and Clinton Substation, approximately 5 miles of new l 15kV line tap between the
proposed Mt. Olive Substation and Mt. Olive POD, and a new 28-acre substation near Mt. Olive. This letter
report outlines our findings pertaining to the jurisdictional delineation and Threatened and Endangered species
' review. The cultural resource survey report was recently submitted by ESI to both State Historic Preservation
Office (SHPO) and Progress Energy. Additional cultural resource work is currently being undertaken and the
results will be submitted to you under separate cover.
' Prior to the initiation of field efforts, available sources were reviewed, including the U.S. Geologic Survey 7.5-
minute topographic quadrangles (Northwest Goldsboro, Southwest Goldsboro, Dobbersville, Faison, Mount
t Olive, and Clinton North, NC), National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps of the same quadrangles, aerial
photographs of the proposed alignment as supplied by Progress Energy, and Natural Resource Conservation
Service (MRCS) soils mapping for Wayne, Duplin, and Sampson Counties. Additionally, records kept by the
' North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (NHP) concerning any known occurrences of federally Threatened or
Endangered species were reviewed in November 2002.
' Wetlands and Surface Waters
The initial wetland delineation occurred between 7 November 2002 and 12 December 2002. Three reroute
alignments were subsequently delineated in June and September 2003, and in April 2004 respectively. Two of
these reroutes have been incorporated into the current route alignment. Wetland areas were evaluated using the
three-parameter approach outlined by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) 1987 Wetland Delineation
Manual, which requires the presence of hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology. Stream
channels were also delineated following criteria established by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality
t (DWQ) and COE.
Seventy-eight (78) wetland areas, twenty-two (22) stream channels containing twenty-four (24) individual
' stream channel segments, and three (3) surface waters (ponds) were identified and delineated within the project
study area. Wetland areas were flagged with sequentially numbered pink and black stripe and solid blue
flagging. Streams and ponds were delineated with solid blue and solid orange flagging. GPS maps depicting
' the extent and location of the wetlands, stream channels, and ponds displayed on 1993 and 1998 aerial
photographs (Attachment A) are included at the end of this report. Also attached are topographic maps
indicating the approximate location of the proposed transmission centerlines (Attachment B) and the COE
Routine Wetland Determination and DWQ Stream Classification data forms (Attachment C). The points
established on the ground as part of the delineation effort will not need to be surveyed, plotted, signed and

sealed by a licensed surveyor. ESI contacted Ms. Lillette Moore of the COE Wilmington Regulatory Office,
and she stated that the supplied GPS map is sufficient delineation mapping for the project (including
permitting). Thomas Farrell of the COE Wilmington Regulatory Office verified the initial delineation during a
site visit on 7 January 2003. ESI will contact Mr. Farrell concerning the incorporated reroute areas to see if
another field visit is necessary. The following list details the individual wetland and stream types and their
corresponding areas and lengths affected along the proposed Lee Plant/Mt. Olive/Clinton Transmission Line
Project. Acreages have been rounded up from corrected GPS data presented on figures.

Threatened and Endangered Species
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) (list date January 29, 2003) indicates one species with the federal
designation of Threatened or Endangered having a range extending into Wayne County: red-cockaded
woodpecker (Picoides borealis), two species with the federal designation of Threatened or Endangered have
ranges extending into Duplin County: American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) and red-cockaded
woodpecker, and three species with the federal designation of Threatened or Endangered have ranges extending
into Sampson County: American alligator, red-cockaded woodpecker, and pondberry (Lindera melissifolia).
The following table summarizes the above Threatened and Endangered species information:
Wayne County
Common Name Scientific Name Federal Status
Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered
Du lin County
Common Name Scientific Name Federal Status
American alligator Alligator mississi iensis Threatened (S/A)*
Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered
Sampson County
Common Name Scientific Name Federal Status
American alligator Alligator mississi iensis Threatened (S/A)*
Red-cockaded woodpecker Picoides borealis Endangered
Pondberry Lindera melissifolia Endangered
* S/A = Threatened due to similarity of appearance.
Red-cockaded woodpeckers (RCW) inhabit mature to over-mature southern pine forests. This small
woodpecker (7 to 8.5 inches long) has a black, prominent white cheek patch, and a black and white barred back.
Primary nest sites include open pine stands greater than 60 years of age with little or no mid-story development.
Foraging habitat is comprised of open pine or pine/mixed hardwood stands 30 years of age or older. NHP
records revealed no documented occurrences within a 1.0-mile radius of the project study area.

' No suitable nesting or foraging habitat was observed within the project study area. Preliminarily, ESI thought
that several areas of marginally suitable foraging habitat existed throughout the project study area, particularly
' in the active silvicultural lands. ESI investigators then determined that these areas had high hardwood
encroachment into the pine canopy and no distinct "boles" were present between the bottom of the canopy and
the top of the understory. These factors led ESI to the conclusion that suitable foraging habitat does not exist
within the project study area.
' The American alligator is a large reptile that generally reaches adult lengths of 6 to I 1 feet in North Carolina.
No other crocodilians occur naturally in North Carolina and adults are readily identifiable in the wild. In North
' Carolina, mating reportedly takes place in May to early June, with eggs deposited in nest mounds in July and
hatching occurring in September. The young, which are black with conspicuous yellow crossbands, are easily
identifiable by their appearance as well. American alligator may be found in brackish water and tidal estuarine
' habitats as well as freshwater habitats. American alligator inhabits swamps, marshes, ponds, lakes, and large
streams. American alligator is listed as threatened based on the similarity in appearance to other federally-listed
crocodilians; however, there are no other crocodilians within North Carolina. NHP records revealed no
' documented occurrences within a 1.0-mile radius of the project study area. A biological conclusion is not
required for this species.
' Pondberry, also known as Southern spicebush, is a deciduous shrub with a limited distrubution occurring in two
portions of the southeastern United States, the Mississippi Valley and the coastal plain of the Carolinas.
Pondberry ranges in height from 1.5 ft up to 6 ft. It has small, pale yellow flowers that appear in late February
through March. Within North Carolina, potential habitat for pondberry is described as: 1) shallow ponds with
t sandy substrate, especially sites containing pondspice (Litsea aestivalis); and 2) Carolina bays containing a
combination of pond cypress (Taxodium ascenders) with loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) and red maple (Ater
rubrum). ESI has conducted extensive surveys for pondberry in Sampson County for an ongoing transportation
' project. A known reference population has been visited several times and the preferred habitat type has been
thoroughly documented. NHP records revealed no documented occurrences within a 1.0-mile radius of the
project study area. No areas of potential habitat were encountered within the project study area.
' Summary
ESI identified and delineated seventy-eight (78) wetland areas, twenty-four (24) stream channels, and three (3)
' surface waters (ponds) within the project study area. Two stream channels consist of two separate segments.
Suitable habitat for the red-cockaded woodpecker and pondberry is not present within the project study area and
NHP records did not reveal any known occurrences of these species within a 1.0-mile radius of the project study
' area. Potential habitat for the American alligator does occur in the project study area. Species-specific surveys
for this species are not warranted due to its current protection status. ESI does not believe that this project will
affect any of the federally protected Threatened or Endangered species.
