Whatever happened with this? Also--we need to caution the non-lawyers to be
careful what they put in E-mails about this incident. Robert Quick 03/13/2000 09:37 AM To: Richard B Sanders/HOU/ECT@ECT, Mark E Haedicke/HOU/ECT@ECT, Alan Aronowitz/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Michael R Brown/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: Redcar there has been an HSE incident at Redcar in relation to a stockpile of Enron coal. We are still awaiting details and I will report as and when more information is available. I have discussed this with Michael, and it seems that almost certainly we will need to involve outside counsel. The firm that springs to mind having both coal and litigation experience is Linklaters. If anyone has any thoughts on this perhaps they wd let me know. tks Robert ---------------------- Forwarded by Robert Quick/LON/ECT on 13/03/2000 15:35 --------------------------- John Moran 13/03/2000 15:30 To: Robert Quick/LON/ECT@ECT cc: George McClellan/HOU/ECT@ECT, Tom Kearney/LON/ECT@ECT, Stuart Staley/LON/ECT@ECT, Alan Aronowitz/HOU/ECT@ECT, Michael R Brown/LON/ECT@ECT, Scott Longmore/LON/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: Redcar I agree with your comments that we cannot get out of our resposibilities and as such were obliged to provide the information. Not to do so could have looked suspicious especially when it is highly unlikely that their will be anything in the analysis document to show our coal to be more problematic than anyone else's. As I said this morning, all fumes from coal fires are toxic and prolonged exposure will cause headaches, sickness etc.. This is not a function of the coal quality but of the combustion of the coal causing toxic gases. Consequently Mark Patten is concerned that Corus are not open to criticism for inadequate safety procedures and is trying to protect their own position. Certainly the heating in the stockpile is to an extent due to the delay in moving the pile.

I understand from Scott that the certificate was sent anyway this morning. The delivery terms under the confirm provide for site delivery so that the coal belongs to Enron. To that extent we cannot evade our responsibility. However, if the problems with the stockpile have arisen as a result of Mission not taking the coal, then we have an argument to say that the issue has been caused by EME not Enron. Let's find out more, and we may need to put Mission on notice. tks Robert To: Scott Longmore/LON/ECT@ECT@ENRON cc: <mail@jwmoran.freeserve.co.uk<, Tom Kearney/LON/ECT@ECT, Stuart Staley/LON/ECT@ECT, <gmcclel@enron.com<@ENRON, Robert Quick/LON/ECT@ECT, Alan Aronowitz/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Re: Redcar Scott - please get with Robert Quick on this first. This does not sound like something we want to get involved with.

Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp. From: "John Moran" <mail@jwmoran.freeserve.co.uk< 13/03/2000 09:49 Please respond to <mail@jwmoran.freeserve.co.uk< To: <Scott.longmore@enron.com< cc: <tom.kearney@enron.com<, <stuart.staley@enron.com<, <gmcclel@enron.com< Subject: Redcar Mark Patten has just phoned me back regarding the hot coal. One of their shovel drivers apparently felt ill on Friday and it is believed it was due to fumes being emitted from the pile. He needs a copy of the Cape Oceania coal quality analysis for health and safety reasons. Could you please send one up to him. I explained to him that coal contains just about every element you can think of and the fumes from the pile are toxic, as from any coal fire, but he feels he needs the information to protect himself.
