Larry,
I have the State Rec Board and Kern County encroachment permit application materials together. I also have the ACOE - 404 and RWQCB 401 information ready for your review. You should receive all the packages tomorrow by Fed-Ex. I will e-mail the cover letters for you to modify as necessary and put on your letterhead. I haven't formatted any headers or footers, as I assumed you would have your own format style. I need your input on a couple of questions/comments in order to finalize things. 1) I have been listing the applicant as EOTT Energy Operating Limited Partnership. Should I continue to list EOTT as the applicant, or should we use Enron Transportation Services? I understand that the pipeline operator will be Enron Pipeline Services Co. 2) Who should the local contact be? I've been using Kenny Maltby primarily because Gary Fuller is gone, and Kenny knew what was happening from a construction scheduling standpoint. Kenny now says that Scott Jones at the North Coles Levee Gas Plant might possibly be the local contact. Or should we use your name and office, as you may want to take the lead on dealing with these agencies? Also, some of these applications/documents allow for an agent (such as myself), but we may have to have signed authorizations in order to do so. 3) It is my understanding that part of the overall Rogas project involves the abandonment of an existing pipeline which travels in a separate location through Kern Water Agency's groundwater recharge area. We may want to address this in our application materials and get approvals as part of this project, even though the active line may not be abandoned until a later date. This line crosses the same bypass channel, and Kenny informed me that they have an agreement with West Kern Water that they will remove all abandoned lines unless they are in an "environmentally sensitive" area. This allows you the option of capping the line on either side of the bypass channel and leaving it in place. We would probably need the water district's approval on this. If so, then we don't need to approach the ACOE, DFG, RWQCB, State Reclamation Board, etc. Just something to consider. If we do need to pull the abandoned line, we would have to go back to all these agencies and get approvals again, pay fees, etc. Call me to discuss at (805) 644-7976 or reply by e-mail. Thanks.
