Environemtal Asessment,Pipeline Risk Management Project

Max, I spoke to Pete Metzner of METRIC Corporation about the status of the
environmental assessment you need for the above project and he said that he
has received the packet you sent him but he needs to have additional
clearification on some items which are pertinant for completing the EA. Mr.
Metzner was concerned that he would not be able to complete the EA by the
specified time unless he discussed these issues with you. METRIC has
extensive experience with environmental assessments, but is not familiar with
pipeline terminology and pipeline actions proposed uder the agreement with
the Office of Pipeline Safety.

When you get a chance, would you please contact Pete at (505) 828-2801.

Thanks.
