John, I was just thinking that if this deconning becomes a routene activity
for us and PG&E, we might want to consider breaking in a company that is less expensive, can more quickly mobilize and get the same quality work product. Vector, has to travel from Ohio. Deconning the separators becomes an internal washing job of the vessel. I will discuss this with Tiny about possibly using someone else. Tiny, do you think Riley would be interested in tackling this issue for us and PG&E? As you know, they do not have a deconning permit from the EPA, but with the new PCB rules in place, a permit is not necessary anymore to do deconning activities. How do you think PG&E will respond to us possibly using another contractor other than Vector for the work. I suppose we can bring this issue up in Flagstaff. Mums the word on the PCB modeling issue, John. Thanks for your guidance and thoughts.

I believe Rod Boschee told me he was putting the same thoughts on the agenda which cover your items 1-4. However, I will take a close look at his draft agenda and make certain that the equivalent thoughts are on there. Now, about item 5 and your closing paragraph. Item No. 5 - I do not want to open the issue of the "PCB Model" to PG&E at this time. Maybe later, but not now. As far as your thoughts in the closing paragraph - Randy Rice and I want the Ultimate Separators "deconned". We took great pains last fall (when we had the separators down) to test and decon them - so we could establish a "base line". Why would we take the system down and change the filters out and test any residue without also deconning the facility? If we did that - then hypothetically - next fall (2002) when we took the system down and changed the filters - if we took any wipe samples - it could contain residue accumulated over a two year period and not just during the past twelve months. It seems to me that it makes much more sense to decon the separators at the same time that we change the filters and that way we will know exactly what has hit them sense the last time we opened them up. I'm open to further argument on it - but that is the way Randy and I see it at this point in time. On the subject of the selection of the contractor - Randy and I believe that you and Tiny should probably select whatever consulting firm can do the best job and is most dependable. Remember that PG&E had confidence in Vector (at least that is what I recall from last fall). So, if we go with a new consultant - will PG&E have the same confidence? Also, you and Tiny must make certain that the firm we use has some "acceptable" credentials. What PCB issues have they handled in the past, etc. I will be glad to discuss any of this with you or Tiny as needed. Thanks, John Shafer -----Original Message----- From: Campbell, Larry Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2001 3:16 PM To: Shafer, John Subject: RE: Flagstaff Trip Rescheduled for July 24 - 26th John some quick thoughts on agenda items for the meeting with PG&E: 1. Status of the mini filter separator installations at PG&E interconnect/delivery/receipt points? Future thoughts/plans for additional separator installations. 2. PG&E customer attitudes about potential PCB introduced into their equipment. Any new customers with positive hits of PCBs? 3. Internal sampling activities. How far have PCB's spread into the PG&E system. (wipe tests results versus liquids collections). A map would be nice depicting this. 4. Transwestern continues to be pretty much dry on mainline and extremely dry on the Topock lateral. Maybe we should have a little presentation showing liquids collected in the last year on the mainline and Topock lateral. Our commitment to keeping the PCBs as immobile as possible. 5. We might consider sharing what we've learned from our PCB modeling study with Penn State and what our future plans are. Another Tranwestern effort to show our commitment. John, if we plan on opening up our separator, has a decision been made to decon it or just clean out the hydrocarbon buildup and replace the filters. If we do decide to decon our separator and or theirs, we will need to line out a contractor to be onsite when we blow down the systems. Id like to discuss possibly not using Vector for this type of routene activity any longer. There is a company in Farmington, NM (Riley) that can probably do the job. As you know, this decon work is not rocket science and Vector is $$$$$$$, although they do a good job. Chew on these and if I think of any other additional topics, Ill send them your way.....By the way, Earl Chanley is now in Roswell. FYI in case you plan on asking him to attend the meeting........

I will be needing your agenda items for our meeting with PG&E so we can send them to Rod Boschee. Think it over carefully, and let's have all of the items we need to discuss ready to go over with them. Looking forward to seeing you. Randy and I will fly out early on July 24 and maybe we can have some time that afternoon and all day July 26 to see some of the facilities we had discussed before.

I am requesting that I be relieved from the environmental audit responsibility due to the sensitivity and importance of the meeting with PG&E. Your understanding in this will be appreciated. ---------------------- Forwarded by Larry Campbell/ET&S/Enron on 06/27/2001 10:45 AM --------------------------- From: John Shafer/ENRON@enronXgate on 06/27/2001 11:49 AM CDT To: Larry Campbell/ET&S/Enron@ENRON cc: William Kendrick/ENRON@enronXgate Subject: RE: Flagstaff Trip Rescheduled for July 24 - 26th Larry, This is a very important meeting with PG&E.
