Replacement of gas transmission lines shall be completed so that there will be a minimum of 3 feet of cover between the top of the pipe and the lowest point in the streambed. Trench plugs or clay dikes shall be used at every waterway and wetland crossing to ensure the existing hydrology is not altered. If upon investigation the Department determines the gas transmission line approved by this permit is serving to degrade water quality, stream profile, meander pattern or channel geometries, then the permittee shall be required to implement all measures necessary to mitigate the degradation. This permit also authorizes the crossing of wetland that may occur along the 30-mile right-of-way of LN-280; during replacement and maintenance operations, the permittee shall take all precautions necessary to ensure that wetland impacts along the right-of-way are temporary. Since Jack Dent Branch, Medix Run, Saunders Run, Laurel Run, Pray Run, South-Bennetts Branch, Laborde Branch and their tributaries are wild trout streams, no maintenance work shall be conducted in or along the stream channels between October 1 and April 1 without prior written approval from the Fish and Boat Commission. Since Jack Dents Branch, Medix Run and Laborde Branch are TSF, no maintenance work shall be conducted in or along the stream channels between March 1 and June 15 without prior written approval from the Fish and Boat Commission.

Trench plugs or clay dikes shall be used at every waterway and wetland crossing to ensure the existing hydrology is not altered. Gas pipeline replacement in waterways shall be completed in dry work conditions by fluming or dam and pumping stream flow around work areas. If upon investigation the Department determines the gas transmission line approved by this permit is serving to degrade water quality, stream profile, meander pattern or channel geometries, then the permittee shall be required to implement all measures necessary to mitigate the degradation. This permit also authorizes the crossing of any wetland that may occur along the 14-mile pipeline right-of-way; during replacement and maintenance operations, the permittee shall take all precautions necessary to ensure that wetland impacts along the right-of-way are temporary. Since Beaverdam, Hevner Run, Road Hollow, Turtle Point, Austin, Manning, Merriman, Renz Hollow and Scoval Hollow Run are wild trout fisheries, no construction or future repair work shall be conducted in or along the stream channels between October 1 and April 1 without prior written authorization from the Fish and Boat Commission. Since Kettle Creek is a stocked trout fishery, no construction or future repair work shall be conducted in or along the stream channels between March 1 and June 15 without prior written authorization from the Fish and Boat Commission.
