thanks for the summary - as this spill had high visibility through out Enron
Corp (Jeff and Joe) - if from your review - you can say things have been
handled properly as far as the clean up is concerned - then it would be good
to convey this message on up the ladder. If we can't say things have been
handled properly and clean up is satisfactory - then I would like your shop
to dispatch a team on behalf of Enron - so that we can either reach that
conclusion or determine where we have fallen short.

Please let me know -

thanks

Pete

Subject: Transredes Oil Remediation Efforts

Pete,

as you are aware, two weeks ago, I surveyed the Oruru Lake and the
Desaguadero River to the original source of the January oil leak with Henry
Van and Tony Henshaw. I was pleased with what I observed both from the
helicopter and on the ground. We did not see visible oil rainbows, oil or
oil stains either in the lake or on the river bed, with the exception of a
close up inspection of a limited area of water reeds that had been red
flagged by the cleanup team. Even in that area it was difficult to see any
residual without it being pointed out by Tony Henshaw. Tony explained that
they were waiting for the property owners permission to initiate cleanup
operations there.

We observed from the air some of the plastic bagged cleanup materials staged
on banks of the river bed. Tony again explained that they were awaiting the
property owners permission to remove them . I was told that the bags have
now been disposed at the Sica-Sica landfill area .

It was apparent that a diligent effort has been made to mitigate the oil
spill.

Henry will follow up with a more detailed account.

Mike
