Your assistance in this compliance issue will be greatly apprecaited. | dev45 |
Data generation and agency consultations are now in progress to expidite the permit submittals. | dev45 |
Should you need further clarification, give me a call (505) 625-8022 or via e-mail. | dev45 |
Thanx, George. | dev45 |
Please let us know what their initial reaction and evaluation is of the conditions at Sta. | dev45 |
6. | dev45 |
Im interested in what their thoughts are with respect to the remediation of the sandstone fractures and movement of condensate with PCB's.. | dev45 |
George Robinson | dev45 |
Rich, thanx for the sampling update. | dev45 |
Ill pass it along to the apropriate parties. | dev45 |
A cursory look at the data shows it to be inconsistently up and down, as expected, with no glaring increases. | dev45 |
Anything urgent we need to discuss? | dev45 |
I wanted to let everyone know that the meeting between Southwest Gas and SoCal concerning presence of PCBs on the Southwest Gas system will be this tuesday. | dev45 |
I had an opportunity to speak with Ralph Komai today during the PCB quarterly management conference call that Transwestern has with SoCal to discuss PCB related invoices. | dev45 |
As a brief summary, Southwest has had isolated hits of PCB in liquids (232 and 132 ppm) and in wipe tests (10-100 ug/wipe) in regulators on their system and they have asked Ralph if he would assist them in the management and disposal of PCBs on their system. | dev45 |
He wil also be providing thoughts on how and why PCBs move in a gas pipeline. | dev45 |
I had asked Ralph not to mention about Transwestern's agreement with SoCal for which Transwestern pays SoCal for 86% of their PCB costs. | dev45 |
I had asked him to only focus on the Southwest system. | dev45 |
Apparently Southwest is not up to speed with the PCB regualtions, however, enough so that they do realize that the mega rule will impact their operations and Ralph will probably provide input for that as well from an LDC standpoint. | dev45 |
I asked Ralph whether Southwest seemed excited or worried about the PCB discovery on their system and he indicated that they were more concerned about compliance with the PCB regulations. | dev45 |
Ralph said he will let me know the results of the meeting. | dev45 |

Mr. Stewart, as per you voice mail request to me on Feb. 20, 2001, attached is the correspondance concerning the reqeust to replace the mixing valves with carbuerators at the Northern Natural Gas, Spraberry Plant. | dev45 |
The players in this activity included Jon Fields of Argent Consulting. | dev45 |
Due to the fact that the pre testing data for the emissions from the mixing valves and the post testing data for emissions from the carbuerators were received in hard copy only, I am not able to provide this as an attachment. | dev45 |
This data was, however, sent to you via fed-x on January 24, 2001. | dev45 |
If needed, I can resubmit the results of the data for your review. | dev45 |
As expected, the emissions levels did decrease when the carbs were installed. | dev45 |
Please reveiw the attached correspondance concerning the request to replace the mixing valves at the Spraberry Plant (TNRCC account No. ML-0022-W) with carbuerators without requiring involvement of a permitting activity. | dev45 |
Thank you for your consideration in this issue. | dev45 |
Mr. Stewart, as per your voice mail request on Feb. 20, 2001, attached find the correspondance relating to the request of replacing the existing mixing valves with carburetors at the Northern Natural Gas, Spraberry Plant. | dev45 |
In this discussion, Jon Fields of Argent Consulting was involved. | dev45 |
I have attached for your review the letter requests from Northern to you and the e-mails which were traded back and forth from yourself and Argent. | dev45 |
The results of the pre testing emissions with the mixing valves on and the post testing of the emissions with the carburetors on were mailed to you on Jan. 20, 2001. | dev45 |
The testing results were compiled in hard copy form and are not included with this submittal, but can be resubmitted if requested. | dev45 |
Your favorable request in this replacement activity is requested. | dev45 |
Arnold, I think I will pass on the meeting. | dev45 |
Please apprise me of anything I may need to know from the meeting. | dev45 |
To bring you up to date on the environmental events of the turbine approvals in Arizona, I received the rough draft of the baseline noise survey and you were copied. | dev45 |
As discussed, we should address changes to the documents as the contractor has made some obvious conclusions and asumptions which are not valid or representative of what we would like to do or not do. | dev45 |
I was contacted by the Navajo Nation and they have requested that we do onsite surveys at the C/S on the reservation (C/S 3 and 4) for T&E plants and animals and archeology. | dev45 |
I have contacted a contractor and they will be on site to do the surveys at both stations. | dev45 |
I am planning on having the entire C/S facility surveyed at both locations as there has not been a pin point location established as yet for all the construction and ground disturbance which will take place. | dev45 |
In the event there might be changes after the survey is completed, surveying the entire facility will keep us from having the new distrubance areas surveyed after the original survey was completed. | dev45 |
The F-1 environmental document for the FERC application will be submitted to Donna by this friday. | dev45 |
The air permit applications for C/S 1 and 2 have been started. | dev45 |
I have a meeting with EPA in San Francisco to discuss permitting the C/S facilities on the reservation on 3/20. | dev45 |
Im going to try and move this meeting up if possible. | dev45 |
After the meeting, I should be able to have an application in front of the Navajo air permitting agency and the EPA within a week. | dev45 |
Based upon experience with the state of Arizona, EPA and the Navajo Nation, expect permit approval within 5-7 months after submittal of the application. | dev45 |
I was just informed by the Navajo Nation that prior to receiving approval from the agency fo rthe installation of the turbines, an archeology survey is to be performed at each compressor station site. | dev45 |
Be advised that an archeologist will be present at sta. | dev45 |
3 on 3/ 9 this friday in the am and at sta. | dev45 |
4 on 3/12 monday also in the am to conduct the required surveys. | dev45 |
Please have someone from each team present at each location during the surveys and allow access to the facility by the archeologist. | dev45 |
The survey should only last 3-4 hours. | dev45 |
Donna, I spoke to the Navajo Nation about expiditing the report submittal once the archeological surveys have been completed and the Nation said that under their current regulations, assuming that there are no cultural resources identified at either location, they are allowed 30 days to review the findings before they are required to issue the final report. | dev45 |
She didnt think it would take this long, but said that due to existing surveys back logs, and personnel, it might. | dev45 |
Ill keep the pressure on. | dev45 |
The Navajo Nation F&W has not returned my call about what they might require. | dev45 |
Birds of a feather... | dev45 |
Ill be persistent here also.......and let you know when I find out something.......... | dev45 |
Byron as per the Red Rock expansion conference call today presented below are the emissions estimates for the auxillary engines at sta. | dev45 |
1-4. | dev45 |
Understand these are not actual emissions, but are emissions based upon potential to emit. | dev45 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
1 where they only have one auxillary unit. | dev45 |
NOx 30.48 CO 121.94 VOC 1.31 NOx 30.48 CO 121.94 VOC 1.31 NOx 35.35 CO 30.40 VOC .04 NOx 43.46 CO 37.38 VOC .05 | dev45 |
Terry, the entire facility has not been disturbed. | dev45 |
Only most of it. | dev45 |
Id say approx 70%. | dev45 |
The other 30% has been impacted but not tot the point of disturbing all the vegetation, just foot and vehicle traffic. | dev45 |
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 |
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 |
I dont have a problem with including resource reports 3 and 7 for vegetation and soils. | dev45 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
Again, TW tried to mantain a postive presence at each site, but did utilize the sites for their intended purpose. | dev45 |
In Arizona, we do not have a blanket approval for discharges of hydrostatic testwater. | dev45 |
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 |
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 |
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 |
If we need to discuss the above, give me a call | dev45 |
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 |
I had sent to him the USGS quad sheets of the C/S sites for review. | dev45 |
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 |
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 |
John has faxed to me the list of approved botonists and boilogists which are approved to do work on the reservation. | dev45 |
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 |
I spoke with Ralph Komai, PCB person with SoCal, concerning the SWG meeting about PBCs on the SWG system. | dev45 |
As mentioned in the last note, SWG has discovered PCBs and has been sampling to determine extent and movement into their system. | dev45 |
SWG receives gas from SoCal and PGE at two separate and independent interconnects. | dev45 |
Liquids have been collected at the two interconnects from SoCal at concentrations of <500 and <100 ppm, respectively. | dev45 |
They have taken approx. | dev45 |
100 wipe samples and have had "hits" but nothing over 100 ug per wipe. | dev45 |
In the meeting, SWG has expressed aggressive interest to SoCal about the installation of filter separators at the SoCal/SWG interconnects. | dev45 |
They felt that the installation of separators would greatly benefit the reduction of PCBs into their system. | dev45 |
