ACQUISITIONS

McCook Tolling Agreement -  Don Stevens and Susan Worthen received a copy of 
an Enron Metals Europe draft tolling agreement and property lease.  An 
overall project description/strategy has not been provided.  Our preliminary 
understanding of the agreement is that Enron is pursueing a contract to 
supply alumina to 2 -3 smelters located in Washington State and the Chicago 
area with market access to self-generated power.  The deal would likely be 
signed with a 60 day period reserved for conducting due diligence post 
closing and subject to agreement of environmental indemnification.  The 
aluminum smelters are currently shut-down.  

York CoGen Facility - 70 MW combined cycle natural gas fired cogeneration 
facility located in York, Pennsylvania.  Solar Turbines, Inc. (STI), wholly 
owned by Catepillar, Inc. which is located next door and has shut down 
operations, owns the facility.   Enron would enter into a LLC with Fenton & 
Bowles.  Don Stevens conducted a site visit on June 6 - 7, 2001.  Potential 
issues observed during the site visit include water discharge permit issues 
and the observance of numerous monitoring wells located on the adjacent 
15-acre site. 

Andex Resources - Don Stevens reviewed the environmental inspection report 
done by Environmental Disaster Control, Inc. regarding O&G properties located 
in Mississippi, Texas and Wyoming.  These properties are associated with a 
request from Andex for Enron to enter into another VPP deal with them.  The 
environmental consultant did not follow the scope of work that Enron EHS 
provided.  There does not appear to be any action plans or planned follow-up 
to recommendations or data gaps. 

KCS Medallion Resources, Inc. (KCS) -  Enron is considering a second VPP 
arrangement with KCS in which KCS would acquire O & G properties (6 shallow 
wells and 14 deep wells)  owned by Union Gas Operating Company and located in 
Dewitt, Goliad and Victoria Counties, Texas.  KCS retained Kane Environmental 
Engineering, Inc. to conduct a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment report. 
Don Stevens reviewd the Kane environmental report and participated in a 
conference call with Teresa Bushman (internal counsel, Enron Credit 
Resources), Arville Martin (ECR commercial), and Marshall Eubanks (ECR 
Commercial) to discuss the report.  The report included recommendation 
regarding SPCC Plans, SARA Tittle III, and Title V permitting (regarding 
dyhyds); however, there is no planned follow-up or action items with KCS.
