Joe, presented below is the first memo I sent out concering the air permit
issue:

[Yesterday evening I phoned both the state of Arizona ( agency for stations 1
and 2) and Region 9 EPA ( agency for stations 3 and 4) concerning the status
of when the air permits would be issued by both agencies for the Redrock
expansion. I was surprised to find out that both agencies stated a 2-4 month
delay prior to issuance. They cited back log of other permits, public
comment periods, and workload as being the main reasons. I am particularily
disappointed because there were pre meetings with both agencies identifying
what was to be included in each application package, and even after the
applications were submitted in March of this year, each agency came back and
asked for different information that from what was discussed at each meeting.

I have a call into the state of Arizona ( construction is to begin at Station
2 and they have jurisdiction for this station) to see if we can initiate
some construction activities such as laying pipe and building foundations
prior to receiving the permit. I have been given these types of approvals
from other agencies in the past, but these types of approvals are extremely
narrow and restrictive. If this flys I am sure that they will require us to
make sure the turbine is not brought on site until the permit has been
issued. I know this will require written approval from the agency, but this
may allow us to proceed on schedule and avoid any delays. Ill keep you
apprised of this issue.]

I spoke with the ADEQ after our conference call and they directed me to
another group (compliance) in the air permit section. They strongly
suggested that I contact the compliance group before contacting Nancy Wrona,
Director of the ADEQ. I left a message with the supervisor of the ADEQ
compliance section, Kathy McConnell (?) 602-207-2328, but have not heard back
from her. Either Bill Kendrick or I will be touching base with her again,
tomorrow.

Arnold has given me the following list of construction items he would like to
have the ADEQ grant us permission/waiver to do in leau of receiving the air
permits:

all earthwork
trench construction and piping tie ins
all foundation and building construction
installation of ancillary equipment

This list is probably too aggressive and falls out of what the agency may
allow us to do.
