Kenny, as you may know, there were 9 environmental applications submitted
to various local, state, and regional agencies requesting approval to initiate this project and most of the requests apply to crossing the bypass channel. As of today, we have received one approval, and that from the State Fire Marshall, Office of Pipeline Safety granting us a waiver so that we can lay the pipe above ground as opposed to below ground. I have calls into the other agencies for which applications and requests were submitted but have had no reply. I would caution that we might get into trouble for initiating a construction project without consent and approval from a particular agency, as agencies many times look at an entire project even though their jurisdiction may only apply in one specific area of a project. This is particularily the case in air permitting where an applicant can not even construct a road or bring in construction materials until the air permit is issued. Because this is my first project in California, Id like to be sure of this and make follow up calls to all agencies for which applications and requests were submitted and verify that we can initiate the construction, as long as we dont impact a specific or strategic portion (ie the bypass channel) for sometime down the road when we are well into the project. Ill call you tomorrow and let you know.......

The first 2500 ft leaving Rogas is across a carrot field that has been harvested and is not in any habitat. The farmer is due to start working the field the 24th so we need to get the pipe laid. The contractor is going to start with a reduced crew and expects to be finished crossing the initial 2500 ft by the end of the week. The following things must be accomplished early next week so we can continue construction. Checks received so we can purchase compensation credits from Kern Water Bank and Area. Be added to the KWB's Master Permit. That will happen when they receive there check. Insurance certificates in the hands of the Kern County Water Agency and West Kern Water. If the contractor has to stop we may be faced with additional mobilization and demobilization charges.
