I just spoke with Cheryl Harding about getting the proposed contract for 
compensation credits. The NCL credits are for habitat disturbance only not 
incidental take. KWB credits which include both are $2000.00 per acre. If we 
paid that fee we would be covered but we still would have to buy credits from 
NCL. The end result would be EOTT would have 15.3 acres of unused credit in 
KWB's bank. Cheryl would like to charge EOTT the difference between NCL 
credit  and KWB credits. If NCL credits are $1500.00 per acre we would own 
KWB $500.00 per acre for being covered under there Master Permit. Cheryl has 
a call into Mark Poe for this information and he has not returned her call. I 
spoke with Mark this morning about this issue, he said compensation credit 
prices had increased and was not sure what he quoted Gary. Mark will verify 
and get back to me. Scott if you can find anything in Gary's files about this 
that would be great.

 The only reason we are notifying KWB of the purchase of NCL credits is that 
the letter from USFW requires us to.

 I don't know what NCL credits are going for these days, but Rick Suderman 
might be able to give some insight.  (He was privy to some discussions with 
Aera about providing them power for the water system at NCL in exchange for a 
reduced price for credits.)  Check with him.

 I believe the insurance certificate is required by the encroachment permit, 
is it not?  When we first received that permit, I made the request of EOTT 
treasury for the certificate; but now that it is an ETS construction project, 
the thinking is that the certificate should come from ETS.  I do not know the 
ETS process for getting one.  Perhaps one of the CC-ed ETS folks can provide 
some insight as to whether ETS can take care of this, and how.

 Thanks.

Cheryl Harding at KWB was reviewing the approval letter from the Fish and 
Wildlife Service yesterday and was not ready to provide the proposed contract 
for acquisition of compensation acres or agree that a letter of credit  would 
suffice for NCL credits. She did not understand why she needed to be notified 
of the credits being purchased from NCL. Unfortunately she is not in her 
office today.

I placed a call to Mark Poe to find out what compensation credits and 
administration fees cost are at NCL.
Do you know what they are Ed? This was something else Gary was doing. He has 
not returned my call.

Ed we still need to provide insurance certificates to West Kern Water 
District before we can start construction, can you help with that?

		 Subject: Rogas Line -- USFW Approval

 Randi McCormick just forwarded to me a letter addressed to EOTT, dated 
February 14, 2001  from the US Fish and Wildlife Service approving our 
project "for participation in the Kern Water Bank Compensation Bank," and 
authorizing the Water Bank "to extend their incidental take authority to you 
and your entire project under their Master Permit."  This is, of course, very 
good news.

 The letter notes, however, that we still need to purchase compensation 
acreage both at North Coles Levee and at the Kern Water Bank.  Specifically, 
we must do the following:  (1) contact Cheryl Harding of Kern Water Bank to 
acquire 23.1 acres of compensation credits, and to get included in their 
Master Permit; and (2) get Cheryl Harding a letter from the Coles Levee 
Ecosystem Preserve (Mark Poe of Aera) stating that we have purchased 15.3 
acres of credits for North Coles Levee, or that we have set aside that amount 
from credits we have in the past purchased.

 While I could make these contacts, I do not believe that would be wise 
because -- as Kenny can attest -- our past experience has been that whenever 
a lawyer contacts the Water Bank, it prompts them to automatically get their 
lawyers involved.  And our experience has been that this only slows things 
down -- or worse.

 My suggestion therefore is that one or both of you gentlemen contact Cheryl 
as soon as practical and ask her for (1) proposed contract for acquisition of 
23.1 acres of compensation credits and (2) perperwork to include EOTT (and 
its contractors) in their Master Permit.  She should also be informed that, 
while we have not yet purchased the 15.3 acres of NCL credits, we will by the 
end of this week have a letter of credit posted as security, as allowed under 
our State Take Permit, to cover this amount of acreage.  Ask whether a copy 
of this LC will suffice for her purposes, or whether we will need to have the 
actual acreage purchased.

 As this would remove a major impediment to construction of the new lines, it 
is important that we move on this will all deliberate speed.  Please call me 
if you have any questions, or if you would like otherwise to discuss how to 
approach this issue.  Thanks a lot.
