The primary objective of teh meeting is to enhance communication and awareness within the group. ENEL - Nicaragua - Don Stevens is currently reviewing a proposed governmental environmental regulation regarding on-site landfills and sanitary systems which could add increased costs to the project and will supply Orlando Puig (Developer) with a short write up on the actions and costs associated with the proposed regulation. ISAGEN - Colombia - A revised scope of work to cover EH&S requirements was provided to Harza Consultants by Don Stevens. The site visits are being conducted by Harza Consultants this week. No Enron employees will be traveling to Colombia due to social unrest.

Two of the facilities (ACE Generation Company and Mt. Poso Cogeneration Company) are located in California. Three of the facilities (Panther Creek Partners, Inter-Power Ahlcon LP (Colver) and Gilberton Power Company) are located in Pennsylvania. ENA has contracted RTP Environmental Associates to conduct the due diligence (fatal flaw) and site visits. The site visits will be conducted 9/5/00 - 9/8/00 for the California facilities and 9/12/00 - 9/15/00 for the Pennsylvania facilities. Don Stevens will be conducting the environmental review of RTP's report. The commercial objective is to restructure the PPA. EH&S Compliance Requirements Summary - Susan Worthen is developing the Summary with the intent to provide Enron commercial groups with a brief understanding of EH&S requirements necessary in operating a facility. The Summary will be routed to other EH&S individuals within Enron for their input before distribution or use in meetings. Eletrobolt PP (Brazil) - Joe Kolb participated in a conference call regarding this project ; another power plant situated immediately adjacent to RioGen PP, with some compression on the natural gas pipeline lateral being constructed for RioGen. RioGen and Eletrobolt have different ownership mixes. Environmental impact assessment and air emission modeling are critical path issues.

Enron Methanol Plant Economic Study - Marc Phillips submitted information to the Business Coalition for Clean Air (BCCA) regarding the economic impact of the proposed NOx RACT rules on the methanol plant reformer and engines.

Participation on ANSI Standard Setting Committee - Russell Tucker has been accepted as an Observer member on the Accredited Standards Committee for the Z10 Occupational Health and Safety Systems proposed ANSI standard. The completion of this ANSI standard will have an impact on all Enron companies in the US and territories, followed thereafter with impact to Enron international interest involved in ISO certifications. Russell Tucker will also serve on the API Z10 task force. Ergonomics Software Program - Russ Tucker is coordinating an Enron pilot computer based training program on ergonomics. the purpose is to grandfather Enron prior to passage of prescriptive OSHA regulations requiring such a training program for any employee who uses a computer for 50% of their work effort. However, everyone must not necessarily have used the software training program before the regulations pass. There are costs saving in becoming grandfathered, because of the flexibility of using the computer based training program in lieu of the prescriptive OSHA programs.

No significant issues were identified in the inspection.
