The Navajo Nation F&W has not returned my call about what they might require.

Birds of a feather...
|
dev45.message.text
|
Ill be persistent here also.......and let you know when I find out something..........
|

|
Byron as per the Red Rock expansion conference call today presented below are the emissions estimates for the auxillary engines at sta.
|
dev45.message.text
|
1-4.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Understand these are not actual emissions, but are emissions based upon potential to emit.
|
dev45.message.text
|
When these units were permitted actual testing data was not required, so each unit was permitted based upon an accpeted emissions limit from an EPA approved document.
|
dev45.message.text
|
This has worked out in our favor as the emisisons numbers presented in the EPA document were high, therefore, this will allow us to net more emissions, if needed.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Emissions are presented for a single engine only in tons per year, even though there are two auxillary units at each facility except Sta.
|
dev45.message.text
|
1 where they only have one auxillary unit.

Kay, the choice is yours as to how you want to clean your oil staining.
|
dev45.message.text
|
both technologies will work.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I prefer the quicker of the two......in the interest of time ie steam
|
dev45.message.text
|
Terry, the entire facility has not been disturbed.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Only most of it.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Id say approx 70%.
|
dev45.message.text
|
The other 30% has been impacted but not tot the point of disturbing all the vegetation, just foot and vehicle traffic.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I dont have problem with saying the above, but keep in mind, the facility has been there and just because the trees havent been disturbed, doesnt mean that the understory beneath the trees has been pristine.
|
dev45.message.text
|
It has always been Transwetern's policy to maintain an environmetnal presence at all of its locations, especially at sites where there is some aesthetic value (scenery wildlife etc).
|
dev45.message.text
|
I dont have a problem with including resource reports 3 and 7 for vegetation and soils.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I have received a verbal from the US Fish and Wildlife and they agreed with the intent in my letter to them that pipline activites at each location tend to preclude any impacts to sensitive or critical habitats.
|
dev45.message.text
|
In addition, the adjacent lands are of the same habitat types as that which are contained within the facility and therefore, would not be an issue of habitat loss.
|
dev45.message.text
|
There are not any old TW hands around to positively verify that the site was cleanred and there has been natural encroachment of the trees into the area, I seriously doubt it.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Again, TW tried to mantain a postive presence at each site, but did utilize the sites for their intended purpose.
|
dev45.message.text
|
In Arizona, we do not have a blanket approval for discharges of hydrostatic testwater.
|
dev45.message.text
|
We do however plan to use new pipe and water supplied either from the closest City (ie Flagstaff for station 2 construction) or from a drinking well source.
|
dev45.message.text
|
In any event, we will test the water prior to discharge and ensure that the discharge will stay on the facility property to soak into the ground.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I cant imagine that there will be large volumes of hydro water as we dont plan on installing a large amount of new pipe.
|
dev45.message.text
|
If we need to discuss the above, give me a call
|
dev45.message.text
|
I spoke to John Nystedt, the contact person for the Navajo Nation F&W service concerning the need to do endangered plants and animal surveys at the two C/S on reservation lands.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I had sent to him the USGS quad sheets of the C/S sites for review.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Today he stated that he didnt think surveys would be needed at either location due to the fact that there had been historic disturbance at each location and that there was no sensitive habitiats in or near the C/S sites which would warrant surveys.
|
dev45.message.text
|
However, because of the issue of tribal lands, he was going to discuss this issue with the Navajo Nation director and verify his opinion and he would let Transwestern know on Monday of next week as to what the Tribes final decision would be, but he was almost sure that the Trib would recommend no surveys.
|
dev45.message.text
|
John has faxed to me the list of approved botonists and boilogists which are approved to do work on the reservation.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I have contacted a number of individuals on the list and they are prepared to do the boilogical surveys next week in the unlikely event a survey is required.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I spoke with Ralph Komai, PCB person with SoCal, concerning the SWG meeting about PBCs on the SWG system.
|
dev45.message.text
|
As mentioned in the last note, SWG has discovered PCBs and has been sampling to determine extent and movement into their system.
|
dev45.message.text
|
SWG receives gas from SoCal and PGE at two separate and independent interconnects.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Liquids have been collected at the two interconnects from SoCal at concentrations of <500 and <100 ppm, respectively.
|
dev45.message.text
|
They have taken approx.
|
dev45.message.text
|
100 wipe samples and have had "hits" but nothing over 100 ug per wipe.
|
dev45.message.text
|
In the meeting, SWG has expressed aggressive interest to SoCal about the installation of filter separators at the SoCal/SWG interconnects.
|
dev45.message.text
|
They felt that the installation of separators would greatly benefit the reduction of PCBs into their system.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Becasue of this, Ralph stated that SWG would be sending him a proposal for the installation of separators at the two interconnect locations.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I gave Ralph Earl Chanleys phone number as he was involved in the separator construction project last summer with PG&E.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Maria, as per your request, please see the attached data: All the below figures were calculated using the 4500 hp factor on the mainline ( TCV-12 Clark ) units the mainline units.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Unit 621 is the auxillary engine and runs back up power, if needed.
|
dev45.message.text
|
The year 1997 was figured by Kerry Welch who no longer is with us.
|
dev45.message.text
|
1998, 1999, and 2000 operating hours and fuel use numbers were calculated using the spread sheet that was provided by our mechanical analyst.
|
dev45.message.text
|
The total throughput on condensate has been ( 0 gallons ) for 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000.
|
dev45.message.text
|
This is due to the fact that our narutal gas supply changed in 1997 to a more dry natural gas and therefore, there was no liquids associated with the gas.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Again I apologize the inconsistency in the data.
|
dev45.message.text
|
We have had employee turnovers at the facility and different spreadsheets were used to provide the information to the EPA.
|
dev45.message.text
|
We are in the process of standardizing our data collections to eleminate this problem in the future.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I hope this information will help in the permit review process.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Again please accept my apologizes in the data collection errors.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Thanx John, for the attachment.
|
dev45.message.text
|
How did the presentation go?
|
dev45.message.text
|
John, Bill this is the latest on the environmental issues for the turbines in Arizona.
|
dev45.message.text
|
The arch surveys at stations 3 and 4 on the Navajo reservation have been completed and nothing reportable was found or identified.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Each contractor is now preparing their reports and hopefully, will have them submitted to their mgt.
|
dev45.message.text
|
for review in a couple of days and then issued to The Forest Service has given us permission to do the arch survey for station 2 on Monday.
|
dev45.message.text
|
The arch survey for station 1 is scheduled for Tuesday.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Preliminary quotes for the surveys are $4-5000.00 for both sites.
|
dev45.message.text
|
The original word from them was 7-10 prior to giving approval.
|
dev45.message.text
|
This was definatley a plus.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Still no word on where the turbine buildings are to be located and what turbine equipment is to be installed at each facility.
|
dev45.message.text
|
GE or Rolls Royce.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Additionally, confirmed decisions have not been made as to what auxillary power will be installed at each location (wind, natural gas, diesel).
|
dev45.message.text
|
I received a call from the consultant who performed the archeology survey at stations 1 and 2.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Based upon the plot plan provided by construction, the archeology discovery at station 1 does not occur within the area of proposed impact, even though part of the discovery is within the facility fence.
|
dev45.message.text
|
The report recommendation to the SHPO by the archeologist will be that during construction activities in this area, an archeologist be onsite to monitor and ensure that the site is not impacted.
|
dev45.message.text
|
They will also recommend that we fence the discovery area within our facility to ensure that future pipeline activities will not disrupt the site.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I have asked that two reports be prepared for each site.
|
dev45.message.text
|
One report for each station covering the construction areas and the other reports to include the entire 40 acres at each compressor station.
|
dev45.message.text
|
All four reports will be submitted to Bret Fritch in Omaha on Monday, the 26th of March.

The Title V air permit applications for C/S's 3 and 4 were submitted to Region IX EPA in San Francisco.
|
dev45.message.text
|
These were the last two applications to be filed for the Redrock Mainline Exspansion project in Arizona.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Assistance was given to all field teams in Arizona in the preparation and submittal of the required annual complaince certifications required under each facilities Title V Operating Permit.
|
dev45.message.text
|
2000 emissions inventories were submitted to the TNRCC for the eleven C/S in the Midland Region.
|
dev45.message.text
|
A revised APEN was submitted to the state of Colorado for the forthcoming power turbine unit replacement to be conducted at the LaPlata C/S.

Rich, whats your thoughts on a decent pipeline segment for the modeling study.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I kind of like Sta.
|
dev45.message.text
|
4 to Sta.
|
dev45.message.text

3.
|
dev45.message.text
|
It encompasses alot of the variablity present on the Transwestern system (elevation, temperature, consistent activities with respect to the rest of the PCB contaminated system).
|
dev45.message.text
|
Let me know before the Penn State visit, so I can start rounding up the analytical data for the pipeline and stations.....

Guys, look at the attached draft of a letter I plan on sending to the Laguna pueblo regarding Transwestern efforts to date of finding new technologies to address and remove PCB contamination from the groundwater at the facility.
|
dev45.message.text
|
You may remember, we had a meeting in January to hear the Laguna's concerns that Transwestern was not moving fast enough to clean up the site.
|
dev45.message.text
|
This letter addresses our attempts to find a solution to the PCB problem, and that remediation technologies are not presently available to operate effectively at the site given the sites unique characterisstics.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Id like to send this out on Friday or Monday.
|
dev45.message.text
|
David, nice touch with the NC.
|
dev45.message.text
|
I sure John will have some ideas on how to best to get this thing going after the NC gets back with you.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Ill leave it up to Mr. Shafer as to his preference to have dinner with Mr. Smith during our June tour of the C/S facilities.
|
dev45.message.text
|
Good to hear that the team has bought in on supporting the NC by participation.
|
dev45.message.text
|
If you want me to, I can put on a little presentation to the other 2 teams in Arizona and see if we can get their support and participation also.
