1506 - Summary/Objective
1507 -
150701 - Bill said he drove through the project area yesterday and it appeared
150702 - that there has been no work on the Devils Den pumping plants, except
150703 - that the site seems to have been put to grade.
150704 -
150705 -     The schedule CDWR submitted to PG&E indicates work should have
150706 -     started on 940113 for task #8, and complete Apr 28, 1995. At this
150707 -     time, we do not know the scope of this 14 month activity, and so
150708 -     cannot judge the implications of Bill's observations.
150709 -
150710 -
150711 - Rod suggested trying to obtain more detailed and current scheduling
150712 - information.  The contractors' schedules and the specs for the
150713 - projects being let are good sources of information.
150714 -
150715 -     We can also get comments on PG&E's schedule by distributing
150716 -     to CDWR project staff.
150717 -
150718 -     Lori said she is waiting to distribute the schedule until they get
150719 -     a corrected schedule from PG&E, per understanding at meeting in
150720 -     Sacramento on 941005.
150721 -
150722 -     Bill said he will bring this to the meeting on Induction next
150723 -     Tuesday, 941018.  [faxed on 941013, per below.]
150724 -
150725 - The coordination of PG&E work with other CDWR work can also be covered

310719 - Bill reported on a discussion with Bob Masuoka that occurred since the
310720 - meeting last Wednesday.  Bob indicated preliminary understandings that
310721 - since no procedures have been established yet to perform GO 131-D
310722 - notification requirements, by filing at this time, PG&E's Transmission
310723 - Line project for CDWR will not be required to make the notifications
310724 - called for in the provision.

3608 - Summary/Objective
3609 -
360901 - Lori asked about the purpose of these action items, shown at ref SDS 1
360902 - line 153?
360903 -
360904 -     I explained the background from the Aug 18 meeting, where Chuck
360905 -     Vogelsang said that the Fish & Game opinion needs to be amended,
360906 -     ref SDS 1 line 512.  Bob Masuoka said the amended opinion covers
360907 -     the transmission line work from Arco substation to Devils Den
360908 -     pumping plant (ref SDS 8 line 106).  This was the purpose of Mary
360909 -     Boland's memo of Sep 20, discussed with Lori at the meeting on Sep
360910 -     22, ref SDS 6 line 377, indicating conditions for PG&E to start
360911 -     work.
360912 -
360913 -     Bob intends to write a letter to CDWR that formalizes PG&E's en-
360914 -     vironmental research and submits its intended construction prac-
360915 -     tices, as called for in Action Item 10, per ref SDS 8 line 191.
360916 -
360917 -         [Everything but construction practices was submitted by Bob
360918 -         at ref SDS 17 line 58.]
360919 -
360920 -
360921 -     PG&E would like to get an understanding from CDWR about the
360922 -     duration of obtaining the amended opinion after receiving Bob's
360923 -     letter.  This is note 10 in PG&E's schedule.
360924 -
360925 -
360926 - Lori said she does not recall seeing a letter from Bob on this. I will
360927 - call Bob about it.
360928 -
360929 - Lori feels we should we keep tracking Action Items 9 and 10.

3617 -
361701 - He said Ed Hills has already requested F&G to issue the revised
361702 - opinion, so they are not waiting for Bob's letter.  Bob intends to
361703 - submit the letter after discussing the matter further with Mary
361704 - Boland.  He said there are no PG&E published "construction practices"
361705 - so some thought has to be given to providing adequate information
361706 - without impeding construction operations.
361707 -
361708 - He expects to issue this letter by the end of next week.

4310 - Summary/Objective
4311 -
431101 - I explained this action includes CDWR's submission of Historical
431102 - Preservation Treatment Plan, discussed at the Aug 18, meeting (ref
431103 - SDS 1 line 592.
431104 -
431105 - PG&E received this report, and responded with comments at ref SDS 10
431106 - line 47 via PG&E letter dated Sep 30, 1994 to Carol Nelson in the
431107 - Division of Planning, ref DRP 3 line 25.

431110 - ted PG&E's environmental report to Lori at the progress meeting in
431111 - Sacramento on Oct 5, 1994.
431112 -
431113 - Lori feels this action item is now completed.

431503 -
431504 - Bob said he plans to make a formal submittal with CDWR that will
431505 - submit Mary's report (the same one given to CDWR at the Oct 5
431506 - meeting), and Alison McDougal's report on cultural resources.

431514 -
431515 -
431516 - He understands that Alison's report is complete, but she has been out
431517 - sick the entire week, so he may not be able to complete this work
431518 - until the end of next week.  This submittal will support CDWR's

CDWR determine if FAA permit includes

4806 - Summary/Objective
4807 -
480701 - Follow up this at ref SDS 1 line 174, and at ref SDS 1 line 601.
480702 -
480703 - There is no indication in the record on the status of whether FAA
480704 - permit includes "underbuild" for PG&E distribution system and/or
480705 - communication (telephone) lines that occur within the transmission
480706 - line easement.
480707 -
480708 - Lori believes there is something about it expiring in a few months.
480709 -
480710 -    This point relates to the date of filing prior to 950301, per ref
480711 -    SDS 5 line 175, and was followed up at ref SDS 7 line 149.
480712 -
480713 -    However, this seems to be different from the scope of the permit.
480714 -
480715 -
480716 -
4808 -
4809 -
4810 - 1531 called Bob Masuoka
4811 -
481101 - Requested results of inquiry per ref SDS 1 line 174, and at ref SDS 1
481102 - line 601.
481103 -
481104 -    Left message for Bob to call.  Actually the notes say CDWR will
481105 -    follow up.

481108 -
481109 -
4812 -
4813 -
4814 - 1534 Bob called back
4815 -
481501 - Bob said PG&E has obtained an FAA permit that covers transmission with
481502 - Distribution underbuild, which is a separate contract.
481503 -
481504 -     He said it is PG&E's responsibility to give the 5 day notice,
481505 -     because the owner of the constructed work must get the permit, and
481506 -     PG&E will own the transmission line.
481507 -
481508 -     He understands that PG&E is not going to build the Distribution
481509 -     system within the area of the Transmission Line, so the com stuff
481510 -     could be constructed on the TL, if CDWR chose to do so.
481511 -
481512 -     Therefore, the FAA application does not need to be amended.
481513 -
481514 - CDWR needs to advise PG&E if CDWR is going to attach their com lines
481515 - to the TL.  PG&E believes CDWR intends to construct the com line
481516 - separate from the TL.
481517 -
481518 - If CDWR uses the TL, then PG&E needs to know now because the engineer-
481519 - ing of the TL needs to accommodate this capability.  For example the
481520 - poles have to be longer, some extra expense would be involved.
481521 -
481522 -
481523 - I asked about the issue of getting the permit by 950301, which Bob
481524 - raised at ref SDS 5 line 175, and was followed up at ref SDS 6 line
481525 - 486.
481526 -
481527 -     Bob said that PG&E is supposed to give FAA 5 days notice prior to
481528 -     starting construction.
481529 -
481530 -        In that case it not clear why we need special tasks to prepare
481531 -        and file the application?
481532 -
481533 -
481534 -     If construction is delayed beyond 950301, then PG&E can write a
481535 -     letter to FAA and they will extend the expiration date of the
481536 -     application.
481537 -
481538 -     This indicates that the 950301 date is not difficult to accommodate
481539 -     in the event that construction is delayed.

5712 -
571201 - Got no answer, so called for Donna Cotter.  She works in Diana's
571202 - group, as an engineer.  She attended the meeting on 941005 because

571204 - came except for obtaining Right of Way and easement matters.
