will do....
dev45
Thanx George for the update.
dev45
Norm would you mind visiting with Ms. Bernacik and explaining to her the difference between the excavation area where the underground tanks were removed and the landfarm area?
dev45
If need be we can write her another letter requesting the closure and backfilling of the underground storage tanks.

Received the "permit by rule" approval for the turbine power unit changeout for the Keystone C/S.
dev45
The emissions testing results for the Plains Turbine Station was submitted to the TNRCC.
dev45
Discharge renewal applications for C/S No. 9 and Monument Turbine C/S were submitted to the OCD.
dev45
Notification to the New Mexico AQB was given for the power turbine changeout at the Atoka No. 2 C/S.
dev45
One employee was skill verified for level II environmental During the routine weekly sampling of the PG&E system, it was discovered that approx.
dev45
3 oz of liquid had collected in the new filter separator in the PG&E C/S yard.
dev45
A request was made to analyze the liquid for not only PCB's but also pH to determine if the liquids resulted from the caustic and water cleaning of the upstream portion of the pipe leading into the PG&E C/S .
dev45
This is the first occurance of liquids at this location since this new filter separator was installed and put inot service.
dev45
The Title V air permit for C/S No. 4 has been issued.
dev45
There are some requirements and conditions under this permit that the team should be aware of and will be required to comply with.
dev45
I would like to visit with the team at their safety meeting in June or july to go over the conditions of the permit.
dev45
Please give the the dates in June and July when your next safety meeting is.
dev45
This Title V presentation should last about 3 hours.
dev45
During the quarterly conference call with SoCal in which we discuss PCB costs on the SoCal system, for which Transwesten is 86% responsible, Ralph Komai, SoCal's PCB person provded some addtional information with respect to what is going on with the PCB activities on the SoCal system.
dev45
As a result of the PG&E press release, SoCal management directed additional sampling to be done at their interconnect with Transwestern and downstream of this interconnect.
dev45
Ralph reported that a number of liquid samples came back at around 7 ppm, however one sample at their Kelso Station, near Barstow, came back at 77 ppm.
dev45
Ralph had indicated that there has been an increase in the PCB's coming into their collection locations in the Needles area as evidenced by the following: Based upon 1997 data, almost no liquids greater than 50 ppm were revcovered Data collected in 1998 showed that approx.
dev45
8% of the liquids were greater than 50 ppm Data collected in 1999 showed that approx.
dev45
9% of the liquids were greater than 50 ppm Based upon this, Ralph had stated that SoCal would be collecting additional sampling information and possibly entering into an internal montoring program, somewhat like PG&E is currently doing now.
dev45
I had informed Ralph that our Needles M/S facility had seen almost no liquids in the last 5 years, other than a recent accumulation of a one time pigging in early 2000 when a small volume of liquids (less than 55 gallons) had been collected.
dev45
We discussed that the accumulations seen on the SoCal system were probably from existing liquids on their system which had collected in low points in their pipeline and were moving downstream due to the increased flows from TW into SoCal.
dev45
Ralph gave the impression that there were no immediate management tensions resulting from the recent "hits".
dev45
He just indicated that they would be watching their system and sampling at a more frequent basis.
dev45
Atttended the NMOGA meeting in Farmington, NM.
dev45
It appears that the BLM will implement its own noise criteria in areas within New Mexico that are deemed sensitive by the BLM.
dev45
The proposed noise threshold will be 48.6 DBA(A).
dev45
There are no Transwestern facilities in the Farmington resource area which will be impacted by this proposed level, however the potential exists for several Transwestern locations in southeast New Mexico to be impacted.
dev45
A meeting was held with the president of Del Mar, concerning the issues associated with the lead in their lead acetate tape for monitoring sulfur concentrations in the natural gas.
dev45
A request was made to the company to determine the feasability of recycling the tape and eleviate the management and disposal issues associated with the tape as a hazardous waste.
dev45
The quarterly SoCal Transwestern PCB conference call was held this week.
dev45
Transwesten's share (86%) of SoCal's PCB management activities was approx.
dev45
$79,000.
dev45
Due to the press release by PG&E concerning the increased occurance of PCB's into their system, SoCal has initiated increased sampling activities on their system and will be proposing to do additional monitoring to track liquids from Transwestern's M/S into the SoCal system.
dev45
Preliminary sampling results at strategic liquids locations on the SoCal system has revealed hits of PCB's in the range of 7-10 ppm, although, a hit of 77 ppm was discovered.
dev45
As a result of an isolated hit of PCB's into the new filter separator at the PG&E C/S in excess of regulated levels, a conference call was held the ET&S VP to determine forthcoming activities with PG&E.
dev45
A meeting has been scheduled at the PG&E C/S next week to reveiw sampling on the PG&E system and discuss the recent hit of PCB's in the F/S and what forthcoming activities will be conducted at the site.
dev45
A meeting was held in Laughlin, Nv with PG&E to discuss the liquids which were received and analytical result of 505 ppm which occurred at the PG&E F/S.
dev45
Additional discussions centered around the latest migration of PCB's into the PG&E system and control technologies to stop additional migration of PCB's into PCB free portions of their distribution system.
dev45
Annual emission fees were paid to the ADEQ for C/S No. 1, Kingman in the amount of $31,145.26 Annual hazardous waste fees were paid to the DTSC for the facilities that operate in the state California A meeting was held in Albuquerque to discuss and apprise involved parties of histoirc and proposed activities for 2000 for the 10 groundwater remediation projects currently being conducted in Texas and New Mexico.
dev45
Received a call from the TNRCC about an air quality inspection at the Irion Co. No. 1 C/S on 6/30.
dev45
the team was notified and preparations are currently being completed to ensure that all recordkeeping, permits and monitoring reports are onsite during the inspection.
dev45
Leo, for my weekly report please use the following: Provided environmental oversight and sampling for the cleaning and decontamination of the filter separator at the PG&E C/S.
dev45
Assisted the San Juan team in preparing for the forthcoming consolidated audit in July.
dev45
Witnessed the post noise surveys for the Gallup and Bloomfield C/S's which were FERC requirements under the 7C certificate for construction.

As a result of the latest meeting with PG&E over the greater than 500 ppm PCB liquids collection at the PGE Topock C/S filter separator (F/S), presented below is a summary of the deconning and sampling activity which occurred Vector was instructed to use a high caustic detergent (Cimclean) as the cleaning agent for removing PCB's from the Topock F/S (50:50 Cimclean:water mixture).
dev45
Diesel was not used in the deconning process.
dev45
The only equipment cleaned by Vector was the PG&E F/S.
dev45
Transwestern's filters in its separator were replaced, but no cleaning or deconning was perfromed to this unit.
dev45
The filters were also replaced in the PG&E separator.
dev45
The following samples were collected during this project: On the Transwestern side: 1.
dev45
Wipes (3) of the interrior body of our filter separator after the filters were removed.
dev45
Large areas were wiped to determine presence/absence of PCB's.
dev45
(Not 100 sq. cm. sample) 2.
dev45
A composite sample of a used filter removed from the upstream separator at the Selexol Plant.
dev45
The filters appeared to be exceptionally clean 3.
dev45
Composite sample of the fine powdery rust which had collected in the bottom of the F/S.
dev45
Approximte volume one cup.
dev45
4.
dev45
Composite sample of the used filters from the F/S.
dev45
Visible appearance of the filters removed from this vessel showed them to be clean and virtually unstained.
dev45
A small discoloration was present on the ends of each filter confirming that the filters were sealed properly in the F/S.
dev45
5.
dev45
A sample of an unused clean stocked filter.
dev45
This was a control sample.
dev45
On the PG&E side: 1.
dev45
A liquids sample of the residual in the upstream leg of the Topock filter separator prior to deconning.
dev45
Approx.
dev45
volume one cup 2.
dev45
Sample of the solids (fine, blackened, powder) which had collected in the F/S.
dev45
An estimate of the volume of this material removed form the F/S prior to deconning was approximately one gallon.
dev45
3.
dev45
Wipe samples (3) of the interrior of the F/S prior to deconning (not 100 cm sq. wipe) 4.
dev45
Used filter media from the F/S.
dev45
The operation of the F/S filters are designed to be a twice pass through of the same filter.
dev45
Composite samples were collected of the upstream and downstream portions of the filters.
dev45
5.
dev45
Wipes (3) of the deconned filter separator interrior walls.
dev45
The only inconsistency observed during the cleaning and inspection process was the volume and buildup of the black fine powdery hydrcarbon material which was present in the F/S at the Topock C/S and conspicuously small amount of rust colored material which was present in Transwestern's F/S .
dev45
As previously mentioned, samples were collected of both materials.
dev45
The only difference between the two locations was the color of the materials and the volume.
dev45
It is suspected that the deconning activity conducted in August of 99 loosened hydrocarbon solids present in the 1850 feet of pipe which had over time moved and collected in the PG&E F/S.
dev45
The small amount of rust materials observed in the Transwestern F/S is the result of the pigging activity from the Selexol Plant into the Transwestern F/S.
dev45
I will have reprensentataive samples of both materials.
dev45
Photographs were also taken of the cleaning and inspection activities and will be available for review at the forthcoming meeting in Flagstaff with on the 13th of July.
dev45
Analytical results will also be completed at this time.
dev45
Thanx.
dev45
Very professionally written.
dev45
I only had to look up a couple of words.
