The waiver to lay pipeline above ground for the Rogas constsruction was approved by the Offfice of the State Fire Marshall, Pipeline Safety Division. There were 8 city, county, state and federal agencies notified by application for approval to construct the 9 mile pipline system consisting of 3 piplines. This is the only agency approval received as yet. Acre credits were obtained from Aera for the construction of the Rogas pipeline. Aera is an oil company with major holdings of acreage available for purchase. It was felt that due to the time constraints for initiating this project and the concern with not receiving the credits from the F&G that EOTT would purchase Aera credits to ensure procurement of the necessary acreage for the Rogas project. This is a major plus for the project. The rough draft of the baseline noise survey for the turbine installations in Az. was received. Some changes will be made in each document., as the contractor has made some obvious conclusions and asumptions which are not valid or representative of the mitigation Transwetern will do. The Navajo Nation has requested that an onsite survey be conducted at the C/S on the reservation (C/S 3 and 4) for T&E plants and animals and archeology. A contractor has been notified and surveys will be completed by 3/12. The F-1 environmental report for the FERC application will be submitted to Donna by this friday. The air permit applications for C/S 1 and 2 have been started. A meeting with EPA in San Francisco has abeen set to discuss permitting the C/S facilities on the reservation on 3/20. After the meeting, applications should be in front of the Navajo air permitting agency and the EPA within a week. Air permits are expected within 5-7 months after submittal of the application. During a conference call this week, a proposal was submitted to remove the existing auxillary generators and replace with 2 units at each location. This will delay submittal of the air applications 3-4 days, assuming no major issues result. One interesting issue that might develop is that one of the generators might possibly be a wind turbine.
