101103 - Reviewed schedule, ref OF 1.
101104 -
101105 - PG&E's environmental work to support CDWR seems to be expanding; this
101106 - requires adding new tasks to the schedule.  A separate planning
101107 - meeting is needed with CDWR (Lori Brown and Ed Hills) to identify
101108 - scope and define task relationships.  This is especially true for the
101109 - GO 131-D impacts.
101110 -
101111 - Some of the Land activities (e.g., envirnomental, survey) are being
101112 - performed jointly for the Transmission Line and Distribution Services
101113 - contracts.  Distribution Services contract work needs to be integrated
101114 - into the Transmission Line Schedule being managed by Bill DeHart, in
101115 - order to evaluate impacts.
101116 -
101117 - Recommend that Bob Masuoka attend the Schedule meeting following the
101118 - main Project meeting with CDWR in Sacramento on 941005. At this stage
101119 - of the project most of the critical tasks are within his charge/over-
101120 - sight, and/or expertise.
101121 -
101122 - Notified Bill DeHart of these understandings. ref DIT 1 0001

1014 - Discussion
1015 -
101501 - Bob said there are three envirnomental issues:
101502 -
101503 -               1.  Fish & Game and/or US Fish & Wildlife
101504 -               2.  Environmental Impact Report for Pipeline Project
101505 -               3.  General Order 131-D
101506 -
101507 -
101508 - Bob initially explained that PG&E needs the amended opinion from Fish
101509 - & Game prior to construction of the Transmission Line from Arco to
101510 - Devils Den, because this portion of the work is not covered by CDWR's
101511 - existing Fish & Game and EIR permits.  Those permits only cover from
101512 - Devils Den to Polonio Pass, which is the pipeline route.
101513 -
101514 -     [This was done at ref SDS 19 line 72.]
101515 -
101516 - Bob said the meeting on Aug 18, was when PG&E was first told of these
101517 - requiremets, ref SDS 1 line 499, and further at ref SDS 1 line 525.
101518 -
101519 -     PG&E has previously requested that CDWR provide a schedule of
101520 -     information required from PG&E to assist CDWR prepare the EIR
101521 -     addendum, as called for in contract section 6.7 10:9.
101522 -
101523 -
101524 - Extra Cost
101525 - Contract Section 6.8
101526 -
101527 - CDWR's environmental information requests have been issued periodical-
101528 - ly, which has hampered PG&E's efforts to do the work in a timely and
101529 - economical manner, including meeting CDWR's request to submit environ-
101530 - mental information by 941001, ref SDS 1 line 569.
101531 -
101532 -     This has been largely due to the complexity of new and changing
101533 -     legal requirements.
101534 -
101535 -     Transmission Line contract section 6.8 10:25 indicates PG&E shall
101536 -     not be held responsible for any delays in the Schedule or any
101537 -     increases in Costs due to the adherence of such [environemental
101538 -     and permit] law.
101539 -
101540 -     Since a significant portion of PG&E's time and expense arises from
101541 -     determining in conjunction with CDWR staff, what laws apply and in
101542 -     what manner, and then in attempting to collect information and
101543 -     manage the process, PG&E and CDWR should meet to consider the best
101544 -     way to accomplish the intent of contract section 6.8.
101545 -
101546 -
101547 - Some of the environmental work being performed by PG&E Land Depart-
101548 - ment, is for Distribution Services, which is a separate account
101549 - relative to the Transmission Line contract.
101550 -
101551 -     Mary Boland and others will be on site next week to perform
101552 -     additional environmental (biological and cultural) surveys, for
101553 -     the Distribution Services contract.
101554 -
101555 -     Proper allocation of costs is needed to avoid impacting the
101556 -     Transmission Line budget cap.
101557 -
101558 -
101559 - Planning Meeting??
101560 -
101561 - At the progress meeting on 941005, Bob will propose that if CDWR needs
101562 - more information, PG&E and CDWR should meet separately to develop a
101563 - comprehensive list, so the work can be evaluated for impact and
101564 - scheduled in an orderly manner.
101565 -
101566 -
101567 - Mary's Sep 20 Memo
101568 -
101569 - Bob feels Mary's 940920 memo, ref DRP 2, should not be submitted to
101570 - Fish & Game by CDWR (nor circulated outside the project team since
101571 - that increases the chance of it being routed to Fish & Game).
101572 -
101573 -      Mary's memo cites direct dialog with named Fish & Game staff...
101574 -      ref DRP 2 line 54, which, if presented to Fish & Game, can foster
101575 -      apprehension that leads to positions intended to show policy was
101576 -      not improperly influenced.  This could result in adverse
101577 -      holdings. Additionally, it could harm relations between PG&E and
101578 -      Fish & Game, and undermine Mary's ability to work with Fish &
101579 -      Game people, if they believe informally presented ideas, will
101580 -      later be presented as Fish and Game policy positions.
101581 -
101582 -          Bob will call Lori and explain his plan to submit a letter
101583 -          (per below) and ask that she take steps to avoid circulating
101584 -          Mary's memo to Fish & Game.
101585 -
101586 - He concurred with Mary's point that PG&E has compiled the best
101587 - information available under the circumstances, ref SDS 14 line 127.
101588 -
101589 -
101590 - Formal Letter on Construction Practices
101591 -
101592 - Bob plans to submit a formal letter that satisfies CDWR's request at
101593 - the 940818 project meeting. see ref SDS 1 9730
101594 -
101595 -      He will attach a statement from the Construction Department
101596 -      setting out PG&E standard construction paractices.
101597 -
101598 -      The letter can be issued as soon as he gets the construction
101599 -      practices statment from Kevin Winthrow.
101600 -
101601 - This letter will reflect discussions with Fish & Game mentioned in
101602 - Mary's memo, ref DRP 2 line 60, and will request DWR to provide PG&E
101603 - with the revised biological opinion from Fish & Game and from the U.S.
101604 - Fish & Wildlife (?), affirming that PG&E's standard construction
101605 - practices are acceptable.

211304 -
211305 - Bob said all of the environmenetal field work needed for the
211306 - Transmission Line project has been completed.  However, he indicated
211307 - continued environmental survey work on the Distribution Services can
211308 - delay the amendment to CDWR's EIR needed to begin construction of the
211309 - Transmission Line.
211310 -
211311 -
211312 -     Interface with Distribution Service
211313 -
211314 -     PG&E performed enviromental surveys (biological and cultural
211315 -     resource) to support CDWR addendum to the EIR which includes
211316 -     Distribution interconnection.  Surveys for the Distribution
211317 -     service will be performed 941004, and may not be required if the
211318 -     lines are within DWR's surveyed area.
211319 -
211320 -          Comment
211321 -
211322 -          It seems like this environmental survey work is on Casmalia
211323 -          and SLO, because the work on Arco to Devils Den has just been
211324 -          completed, and the work in the pipeline easement where the
211325 -          Transmission Line is to constructed, has already been survey-
211326 -          ed for environmental impact by the pipeline construction
211327 -          operation.
211328 -
211329 -          If this analysis is correct, then it does not seem that the
211330 -          Tie Line areas are within previusly surveyed areas for the
211331 -          pipeline, because the tie lines are outside the pipeline
211332 -          easements, which is why PG&E can construct independently.
211333 -
211334 -          This raises an easement question, but these are very short
211335 -          reaches.
211336 -
211337 -
211338 -     Bob will contact Ed Hills today to confirm this.
211339 -
211340 -
211341 -     Fire Delayed Work
211342 -
211343 -     PG&E's environmental work on Distribution Services, was delayed
211344 -     because resources had to be applied to restore service that was
211345 -     impacted by recent fires in the project area. [See reports by CDWR
211346 -     at meeting on Communications on 940901, ref SDS 2 line 408.]
211347 -
211348 -     This impacts the Transmission Line contract, because the results
211349 -     of the environmental survey are needed by CDWR to amend its EIR
211350 -     for the entire project and that is needed in order for the
211351 -     Transmission Line to be constructed.
211352 -
211353 -
211354 -
211355 - Cultural Resources
211356 -
211357 - A report will be submitted today on Casmalia and SLO. The part for
211358 - Arco to Devils Den was completed much earlier, and so there is no
211359 - activity in the project schedule.
211360 -

211370 - updated opinion from Fish & Game.  Therefore, this should be added to
211371 - the project schedule, as a constraint.
211372 -

260803 - Bob advised that indications are now that PG&E cannot start

260805 - interpretation is that the Transmission Line project will be subject

260807 - This appears to be on or about July 1996 (likely much later), based on
260808 - CDWR's schedule, ref DRP 1 line 24.
260809 -
260810 - The County of Santa Barbara's opposition to the project holds the
260811 - potential of causing a major delay in issuing required permits.  This
260812 - prospect is heightened by the GO 131-D public notification require-

361003 -
361004 - I asked Bob about the basis of his feeling that CDWR should complete
361005 - pipeline Reach 1 and restore the final grades before PG&E begins con-
361006 - struction on the transmission line at this location, per our discus-
361007 - sion at ref SDS 9 line 157.
361008 -
361009 - Bob researched the correspondence.
361010 -
361011 - There did not seem to be a specific document that says the
361012 - Transmission Line should be 50' from the pipeline centerline.
361013 -
361014 - Bob found correspondence indicating that the permanent easement is 60'
361015 - wide, or 30' off the centerline.  The construction easement is another
361016 - 60' on either side of the permanent easement, except that it seems to
361017 - vary along the route to provide additional working area for the
361018 - contractor.
361019 -
361020 - My understanding today is that the construction easement and the
361021 - permenant easement have been staked by CDWR.  PG&E has staked the
361022 - transmission line so it is at least 20 feet from the permanent
361023 - easement and still within the construction easement, in order to meet
361024 - the minimum 50' offset recommended to reduce induction onto the
361025 - pipeline, as explained by Maria Ly at the Progress meeting in
361026 - Sacramento 940818 (see ref SDS 1 line 820).
361027 -
361028 - The other criteria is to remain within the construction easement.
361029 -
361030 - Thus, PG&E staked the transmission line for environmental surveys by
361031 - using the permanent and construction easement staking for the pipe-
361032 - line.  This could account for Lori's report that the transmission line
361033 - seemed to be more than 50' off the pipeline staking, when she was
361034 - onsite prior to the scheduling meeting on 940922, ref SDS 12 line 186.

481004 - I asked Bob how he is able to track information needed to manage the
481005 - CDWR job, since the record is complex and requirements are not yet
481006 - fully settled? see above ref SDS 0 9694
481007 -
481008 - Bob said that the CDWR project is more difficult than most PG&E
481009 - projects, because of the way CDWR has escalated requriements.  He said
481010 - that the support role of Com Metrics capturing and organizing the
481011 - record, like this record today, ref SDS 0 0001, have been helpful in
481012 - dealing with this situation.
