Today I received the information relayed below regarding activities at the
Eunice facility. Judging from the pictures and the description of the work, there are compelling indications that former operations at the Eunice facility impacted the property owned by Northern Natural Gas. Please respond to the following questions at your earliest convenience: 1) is Texaco aware of the pipeline removal activities; 2) has the release been stopped and how; 3) has the extent of impacted soil been determined and does it extend onto NNG's property or down to groundwater; and 4) has the NMOCD been notified. I am also concerned that other Texaco pipelines crossing near or through NNG's facility may also be in poor condition and should be checked, particularly the two lines which cross the southwestern corner of the NNG facility near the location of monitor well MW-3 (NNG's well which contains PSH). Your assistance in this matter is appreciated. I suggest we get together sometime in the near future to discuss this recent information. ---------------------- Forwarded by Bret Reich/ET&S/Enron on 03/27/2000 03:33 PM --------------------------- From: George Robinson 03/27/2000 10:47 AM To: Larry Campbell/ET&S/Enron@Enron, Bret Reich/ET&S/Enron@ENRON cc: Team Eunice/ET&S/Enron@Enron Subject: NNG Eunice Station - Recent Development Last week I received a message from the Eunice Team that Dynegy, the current owner of the adjacent Texaco Plant, had recently undertaken a project to remove a large diameter low pressure sour gas pipeline located just west of the NNG facility. The Team took photos of the removed section of pipe and the excavated soil. The removed pipe has at least two repair patches and there was considerable hydrocarbon stained soil removed from the pipe trench. Four of the Team's photos are attached with this message. Also attached is an updated diagram indicating the location of the removed section of pipe. The diagram is saved in a Microsoft HTML format that may require Microsoft Explorer to view. If you have trouble opening the file, refer to the diagram recently generated for the letter regarding the excavation activities. The location of the removed section runs from the western edge of the pit excavation area towards the north-northwest. This places the removed line within approximately 50 feet of our monitor well MW-3 (the well which has PSH above the water table).
