Advisors, presented below is a memo from GPG Houston requesting that we provide to them the number of ETS employees in each team who have taken advantage of the one year free membership with The Nature Conservancy.
dev45.message.text
Apparently there is some concern that employees are not taking advantage of the opportunity which has been provided for them to get involved with an organization that has some benefit towards wildlife and habitat preservation and enhancement.
dev45.message.text
Should an employee desire to sign up for the one year free memebership, the Conservancy the web address is www.tnc.org.
dev45.message.text
You can click the button that says "Become a member" and sign up for the annual membership at that time.
dev45.message.text
At the request of Mr. John Shafer, please provide to me a total by team of the number of individuals which have signed up with the Nature Conservancy by the end of the month.

i enjoyed the game.
dev45.message.text
Kevin, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner as I have been out of touch for the last week.
dev45.message.text
I read John's message to you and agree with him that we should develop a formal plan to address how we will generate public support and address any future environmental concerns before they jump up and bite us.
dev45.message.text
As you may know, Flagstaff is one of those areas where there is much environmental support to keep the area as pristine as possible and there does exist a number of environmental groups which use this as their agenda to keep development to a minimum.
dev45.message.text
I will forward to you a memo from David Roensch, team advisor in the Flagstaff area, of an article he found providing the active participation of the environmental groups in the Flagstaff area.
dev45.message.text
Ive done some cusory inquiries as to land status and have polled the Bureau of Land Management, State of Arizona, State Historic Preservation Office and the Forest Service which is the major landowner between Flagstaff and Phoenix.
dev45.message.text
I have not heard back from all of agencies as yet, but will let you know if there are any glaring environmental concerns or if there appears to be trouble on the horizon.
dev45.message.text
John and I have briefly traded thoughts on this project and we would like to take a more proactive approach "up front" with regard to public participation and input prior to breaking ground.
dev45.message.text
Its hard to deal with public issues when construction is underway.
dev45.message.text
As for the $$$$$ for the environmental studies, you are correct in assuming that the existing portion of the project from Bloomfield to Flagstaff will require very little capital, as long as we limit and ensure our construction activities to the existing right of way.
dev45.message.text
Proceeding south from Flagstaff to Phoenix is where the initial expenditures will be the greatest.
dev45.message.text
Once the pipeline corridor is identified and staked, surveys will need to be completed for the following: threatened and endangered plants and animals, archeology surveys for bones, artifacts, relics etc, noise surveys should this portion of the project require installation of horsepower.
dev45.message.text
The FERC will require an EIS (environmental impact statement) and environmental report to be conducted.
dev45.message.text
These activities include not only the environemntal issues but also things like socioeconomics, land use soils, geology etc. Past consttruction projects has shown that third party involvement with this greatly expidites the process (John has eluded to this previously).
dev45.message.text
Due to the rough terrain and topography of the land south of Station 2 into Phoenix makes this project extremely hard to give an approximate dollar amount for the environmental baseline surveys and permits to be completed as the entire proposed right of way (140 miles) from station 2 into Phoenix will need to be walked and surveyed by several people.
dev45.message.text
I would rather wait until we can identify on a map the corridor route and send out proposals for each of the surveys to be performed on the pipeline prior to giving a $$$$ figure.
dev45.message.text
However, because you need something for a preliminary budget estimate, I would recommend an amount of $70,000 to 90,000 for the baseline environmental work and this might be a little light, in the event the surveys identify something.......please dont hold me too close to this number as it is a WAG contingent upon a number of variables that are relatively unclear at this time.
dev45.message.text
Having the pipeline corridor identified on a map will greatly assist in the environmental budgeting for this project.
dev45.message.text
Kevin, as promised, attached is the information that was found by David Roensch on environemntal perspectives in the Flagstaff area......
dev45.message.text
George, Dave Cobrain of the NMED has verbally approved of the soil characterization work plan which you submitted to him for review and has said that we can begin work as soon as the plan is approved by the OCD.
dev45.message.text
I have not heard from Bill Olson of the OCD yet.
dev45.message.text
Dave was going to inform the OCD that their office has given approval of the plan and that this might expidite Bill's review process.
dev45.message.text
Ill let you know when I hear from the OCD.

A meeting was held at C/S 6, Laguna on Tuesday November 16th, to reintroduce the pueblo of Laguna to Transwestern's environmental activities at the facility.
dev45.message.text
The Laguna's have hired an environmental person to oversee environmental issues on pueblo lands.
dev45.message.text
The meeting centered around three issues: a UST site which had been removed, but not formally closed, a historic removal of asbestos which had been buried at the facility in the late 1980's, and the ongoing groundwater remediation at the site.
dev45.message.text
Transwestern provided a history of the above mentioned activiites and why these issues were unresolved in the "eyes" of the Laguna.
dev45.message.text
Transwestern committed to submitting closure requests for the UST and asbestos issues.
dev45.message.text
With repsect to the groundwater issue, a presentation was given enlighting the Laguna representative of the difficult nature of the subsurface geology and groundwater characteristics to rapidly clean the contaminants (chlorinated solvents and PCB's) and Transwestern's intent to continue its remediation efforts.
dev45.message.text
Transwestern assured the Laguna environmental representative that all correspondance and data pertaining to environmental issues would be submitted to the pueblo agency.
dev45.message.text
At the conclusion of the meeting, the Laguna's understood Transwestern's commitment to maintaining the policies and practices consistent with the pueblo of Laguna.
dev45.message.text
The meeting provided Transwestern and the Laguna's with the opportunity to meet and share ideas and opinions and initiate working relationships.
dev45.message.text
The Laguna's now have an understanding of the environmental activities at the site and what Transwestern's approach is to removing the contaminants.
dev45.message.text
The Laguna's appreciated Transwestern's efforts and commitment to environmental compliance on the Laguna pueblo.
