IN: Paula and Rex - I have mentioned this several times in the past several weeks, but have not received an answer. Isn't it time to significantly adjust our 16b list? There is clearly a new management team making the key decisions, and with all of the frequent Board meetings, it should be easy to do. Thanks. MEK

IN: I wanted to let everyone know that the meeting between Southwest Gas and SoCal concerning presence of PCBs on the Southwest Gas system will be this tuesday. I had an opportunity to speak with Ralph Komai today during the PCB quarterly management conference call that Transwestern has with SoCal to discuss PCB related invoices. As a brief summary, Southwest has had isolated hits of PCB in liquids (232 and 132 ppm) and in wipe tests (10-100 ug/wipe) in regulators on their system and they have asked Ralph if he would assist them in the management and disposal of PCBs on their system. He wil also be providing thoughts on how and why PCBs move in a gas pipeline. I had asked Ralph not to mention about Transwestern's agreement with SoCal for which Transwestern pays SoCal for 86% of their PCB costs. I had asked him to only focus on the Southwest system. Apparently Southwest is not up to speed with the PCB regualtions, however, enough so that they do realize that the mega rule will impact their operations and Ralph will probably provide input for that as well from an LDC standpoint. I asked Ralph whether Southwest seemed excited or worried about the PCB discovery on their system and he indicated that they were more concerned about compliance with the PCB regulations. Ralph said he will let me know the results of the meeting.
