IN: Atttended the NMOGA meeting in Farmington, NM. It appears that the BLM will implement its own noise criteria in areas within New Mexico that are deemed sensitive by the BLM. The proposed noise threshold will be 48.6 DBA(A). There are no Transwestern facilities in the Farmington resource area which will be impacted by this proposed level, however the potential exists for several Transwestern locations in southeast New Mexico to be impacted. A meeting was held with the president of Del Mar, concerning the issues associated with the lead in their lead acetate tape for monitoring sulfur concentrations in the natural gas. A request was made to the company to determine the feasability of recycling the tape and eleviate the management and disposal issues associated with the tape as a hazardous waste. The quarterly SoCal Transwestern PCB conference call was held this week. Transwesten's share (86%) of SoCal's PCB management activities was approx. $79,000. Due to the press release by PG&E concerning the increased occurance of PCB's into their system, SoCal has initiated increased sampling activities on their system and will be proposing to do additional monitoring to track liquids from Transwestern's M/S into the SoCal system. Preliminary sampling results at strategic liquids locations on the SoCal system has revealed hits of PCB's in the range of 7-10 ppm, although, a hit of 77 ppm was discovered. As a result of an isolated hit of PCB's into the new filter separator at the PG&E C/S in excess of regulated levels, a conference call was held the ET&S VP to determine forthcoming activities with PG&E. A meeting has been scheduled at the PG&E C/S next week to reveiw sampling on the PG&E system and discuss the recent hit of PCB's in the F/S and what forthcoming activities will be conducted at the site.

IN: This Sunday, starting at 5:00 AM, Emergency Power Systems for the WTC Complex will shut down to test the emergency backups. This will not affect critical systems (computer room, phones, or the Real Time Group), as they are on both UPS and Generator. It will affect many of the non - critical computers and office machines on the 3rd and 4th floors of Enron. Please make every effort to power down all of your PC's and monitors when you leave for the day. Also, if you could help with a machine or 2 in your immediate area we would appreciate it. The IT group will be coming through around 4-4:30 today to power down equipment not in use and I will be in before the outage on Sunday to complete this. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the IT dept. at any time. Regards

IN: Vincent....on behalf of Toshiba Corporation, we wanted to thank you for the valuable time you spent with us on Tuesday and also for the great Brennan's Lunch! We hope you and your team felt that the time was well spent and you found the Boltzmann concepts and model to be both interesting and compelling. We know that we threw alot of very detailed information at you in a relatively small amount of time and of course it will take some time to digest. We're thinking that the best way forward may be a small research or prototype project where Enron and Toshiba may be able to jointly test, analyze and benchmark the application of this concept -- to determine it's feasibility and potential business benefit. We are very interested in your thoughts about this idea.
