4a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinityof the project at the time of this application:*
The Site is an approximately 685 -acre property most recently used for silvicultural practices. Much of the Site is currently cleared, open land with remaining forested portions of the Site
consist primarily of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda). The Site is located between two large swamp systems, Gum Swamp and Jordan Swamp. Elevations at the Site range between 210 to 215
feet above mean sea level (AMSL). Surface voter on the western portion of the Site generally slopes to west toward Gum Branch, while the eastern portion of the Site flows east to
Jordan Branch. Some areas of the Site are controlled by drainage ditches, which could affect flow in those areas.
The wider vicinity of the Project area is primarily a mix of pine plantations and agricultural lands, with some pockets of rural residential and small township development.

4h. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The proposed project is to construct a liquefied natural gas (LNG) peak shaving facility to better meet the demands of Piedmont Natural Gas (Piedmont) customers during peak usage
times.
41. Describe the overall project in detail, including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The Project will include construction and installation of a 1.6 billion cubic foot (BCF) liquefied natural gas (LNG) peaking facility. Site development will cover approAmately 50 acres; the
remaining area of the property is not slated for construction. The facility will have the capacity to vaporize 260 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of natural gas and liquefy 10
MMscfd. The Project is to begin construction in May 2019 and begin operation of the facility in July 2021.
Construction earth grading will involve the use of common heavy equipment (e.g. excavators, dozers, scrapers).and will be in compliance with pertinent permits and regulatory
conditions. There will be relatively small (about 90 linear feet), direct impact to a low quality, intermittent stream by culverting for a road crossing. Indirect impacts to waters should be
minimal as Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented during construction, and a facility stornmater management plan Will be in place for long term management of runoff
over impervious surfaces. Facility construction will be performed according to permits by licensed contractors (e.g., structural contractors, masons, electricians, plumbers).

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1. Avoidance and Minimization
31. Total temporary stream impacts:
la. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Piedmont identified and evaluated a number of alternatives to the proposed Project. During the feasibility phase of the Project, National Wetland
Inventory (NWI) data and USGS stream data (National Hydrography Dataset) were used to provide a preliminary analysis of wetland and waterbody
resources at the proposed Site, and to assess where wetland impacts could be avoided or minimized by adjusting the Site location. Desktop reviews
were conducted to identify a study area and to map existing land uses and environmental features. Site visits were conducted to survey, study and
identify potential land impacts and alternatives. The chosen Site and layout was selected in an effort to avoid and minimize impacts to jurisdictional
waters to the extent practiable.
1b. Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
Piedmont will follow all permit conditions, will implement BMPs (e.g. silt fences), and will perform environmental inspections during construction.
2. Compensatory Mitigation for Impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State
2a. Does the project require Compensatory Mitigation for impacts to Waters of the U.S. or Waters of the State?
O Yes G No
2b. If this project DOES NOT require Compensatory Mitigation, explain why -
The Project Will have only a minimal effect (ca. 78 feet) on a low quality stream. The impact, i.e. a culvert, will allowfor continued normal flowof the stream. And though not required as
compensatory mitigation, the discontinuation of the silvicultural land use of the property will result in the cessation of associated sedimentation impacts to stream. Furthermore, soils will
be better stabilized within the Project development footprint through vegetation plantings (ground cover, shrubs and trees) that will be associated with the project landscaping.
F. Stormwater Management and Diffuse Flow Plan (required by DWR)
1. Diffuse Flow Plan
1a. Does the project include or is it adjacent to protected riparian buffers identified within one of the NC Riparian Buffer Protection Rules?
O Yes G No
If no, explain why:
The Project will not result in impacts within the protected riparian buffer zones, and therefore no mitigation is required.
2. Stormwater Management Plan
2a. Is this a NCDOT project subject to compliance with NCDOTs Individual NPDES permit NCS000250?
O Yes G No
2b. Does this project meet the requirernents for low density projects as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2)?
O Yes G No
2c. Does this project have a stormwater management plan (SMP) reviewed and approved under a state stormwater program or state -approved local government stormwater
program?
O Yes G No
3. Stormwater Requirements
3a. Select whether a completed stormwater management plan (SMP) is included for review and approval or if calculations are provided to document the project will not cause
degradation of downstream surface waters. *
O Stormwater Management G Antidegradation

Comments:
As this notification to the DWR is a courtesy notification, given the minimal extent of impact, so it was not necessary to perform antidegradation calculations for the proposed built upon
area. However, a stormwater analysis was performed for the property in general; the related report is included for reference.
It should also be noted here that the site falls within the Fayetteville region within the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ). In a reviewof the NC DEQ
interactive Post -Construction Stormwater Permitting Map, this site does not require post construction stormwater management. Operators of oil and gas exploration, production,
processing, or treatment operations, or transmission facilities are not required to submit an NPDES permit application per the exclusion in 40 CFR §122.26(b)(14)(viii).

Location description: This 685 acre proiect is located along State Highway 71 and east of Reverend Bill Road in Maxton,
Robeson County, NC.
Indicate Which of the Following Apply:
A. Preliminary Determination
X There are waters, including wetlands, on the above described project area, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA)(33 USC � 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC � 403). The
waters, including wetlands, have been delineated, and the delineation has been verified by the Corps to be sufficiently accurate
and reliable. Therefore this preliminary jurisdiction determination may be used in the permit evaluation process, including
determining compensatory mitigation. For purposes of computation of impacts, compensatory mitigation requirements, and other
resource protection measures, a permit decision made on the basis of a preliminary JD will treat all waters and wetlands that
would be affected in any way y the permitted activity on the site as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. This preliminary
determination is not an appealable action under the Regulatory Program Administrative Appeal Process (Reference 33 CFR Part
331). However, you may request an approved JD, which is an appealable action, by contacting the Corps district for further
instruction.
_ There are wetlands on the above described property, that may be subject to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33
USC § 1344) and/or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403). However, since the
waters, including wetlands, have not been properly delineated, this preliminary jurisdiction determination may not be used in the
permit evaluation process. Without a verified wetland delineation, this preliminary determination is merely an effective
presumption of CWA/RHA jurisdiction overall of the waters, including wetlands, at the project area, which is not sufficiently
accurate and reliable to support an enforceable permit decision. We recommend that you have the waters of the U.S. on your
property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to
obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by the Corps.
B. Approved Determination
_ There are Navigable Waters of the United States within the above described property subject to the permit requirements of
Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (RHA) (33 USC § 403) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA)(33 USC §
1344). Unless there is a change in law or our published regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on the above described project area subject to the permit requirements of
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (CWA) (33 USC § 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published regulations,
this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.

_ We recommend you have the waters of the U.S. on your property delineated. As the Corps may not be able to accomplish
this wetland delineation in a timely manner, you may wish to obtain a consultant to conduct a delineation that can be verified by
the Corps.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, on your project area have been delineated and the delineation has been verified
by the Corps. We strongly suggest you have this delineation surveyed. Upon completion, this survey should be reviewed and
verified by the Corps. Once verified, this survey will provide an accurate depiction of all areas subject to CWA jurisdiction on
your property which, provided there is no change in the law or our published regulations, may be relied upon for a period not to
exceed five years.
_ The waters of the U.S., including wetlands, have been delineated and surveyed and are accurately depicted on the plat signed
by the Corps Regulatory Official identified below on . Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ There are no waters of the U.S., to include wetlands, present on the above described project area which are subject to the permit
requirements of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC 1344). Unless there is a change in the law or our published
regulations, this determination may be relied upon for a period not to exceed five years from the date of this notification.
_ The property is located in one of the 20 Coastal Counties subject to regulation under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA).
You should contact the Division of Coastal Management in Morehead City, NC, at [phone] to determine their
requirements.
Placement of dredged or fill material within waters of the US, including wetlands, without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act (33 USC § 1311). Placement of dredged or fill material, construction or
placement of structures, or work within navigable waters of the United States without a Department of the Army permit may
constitute a violation of Sections 9 and/or 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act (33 USC § 401 and/or 403). If you have any questions
regarding this determination and/or the Corps regulatory program, please contact Gary Beecher at [phone] or
Gary.H.BeecherC&usace, army. mil.
C. Basis For Determination: This site exhibited wetland criteria as described in the 1987 Corps Wetland Delineation
Manual and the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Regional Supplement.
D. Remarks: A site visit by Ms. Rachel Capito (USACE) was conducted on June 19, 2018.
E. Attention USDA Program Participants
This delineation/determination has been conducted to identify the limits of Corps' Clean Water Act jurisdiction for the particular site
identified in this request. The delineation/determination may not be valid for the wetland conservation provisions of the Food Security
Act of 1985. If you or your tenant are USDA Program participants, or anticipate participation in USDA programs, you should request
a certified wetland determination from the local office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, prior to starting work.

1) The Corps of Engineers believes that there may be jurisdictional aquatic resources in the
review area, and the requestor of this PJD is hereby advised of his or her option to request
and obtain an approved JD (AJD) for that review area based on an informed decision after
having discussed the various types of JDs and their characteristics and circumstances when
they may be appropriate.
2) In any circumstance where a permit applicant obtains an individual permit, or a Nationwide
General Permit (NWP) or other general permit verification requiring "pre- construction
notification" (PCN), or requests verification for a non -reporting NWP or other general permit,
and the permit applicant has not requested an AJD for the activity, the permit applicant is
hereby made aware that: (1) the permit applicant has elected to seek a permit authorization
based on a PJD, which does not make an official determination of jurisdictional aquatic
resources; (2) the applicant has the option to request an AJD before accepting the terms and
conditions of the permit authorization, and that basing a permit authorization on an AJD could
possibly result in less compensatory mitigation being required or different special conditions;
(3) the applicant has the right to request an individual permit rather than accepting the terms
and conditions of the NWP or other general permit authorization; (4) the applicant can accept
a permit authorization and thereby agree to comply with all the terms and conditions of that
permit, including whatever mitigation requirements the Corps has determined to be necessary;
(5) undertaking any activity in reliance upon the subject permit authorization without
requesting an AJD constitutes the applicant's acceptance of the use of the PJD; (6) accepting a
permit authorization (e.g., signing a proffered individual permit) or undertaking any activity in
reliance on any form of Corps permit authorization based on a PJD constitutes agreement that
all aquatic resources in the review area affected in any way by that activity will be treated as
jurisdictional, and waives any challenge to such jurisdiction in any administrative or judicial
compliance or enforcement action, or in any administrative appeal or in any Federal court;
and (7) whether the applicant elects to use either an AJD or a PJD, the JD will be processed
as soon as practicable. Further, an AJD, a proffered individual permit (and all terms and
conditions contained therein), or individual permit denial can be administratively appealed
pursuant to 33 C.F.R. Part 331. If, during an administrative appeal, it becomes appropriate to
make an official determination whether geographic jurisdiction exists over aquatic resources
in the review area, or to provide an official delineation of jurisdictional aquatic resources in
the review area, the Corps will provide an AJD to accomplish that result, as soon as is
practicable. This PJD finds that there "may be" waters of the U.S. and/or that there "may be"
navigable waters of the U.S. on the subject review area, and identifies all aquatic features in
the review area that could be affected by the proposed activity, based on the following
information:
