A. INTRODUCTION

Construction continued on Segment 1 (Milepost (MP) 0 TO 33), Segment 2B (MP 56 to 73); Segment 3 (MP 73 to 99), Segment 4A (MP 99 to 108), Segment 4B (El Segundo MP 0 to 11), and Segment 5 (MP 108 to 118).

B. SEGMENT 1 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment extends southward from the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley (Emidio), through the Tejon Pass, to the northern perimeter of the Angeles National Forest. Construction will occur through agricultural fields, along roads and across very steep slopes. Segment 1 Environmental Monitor (EM), Lynn Stafford has been on-site during construction. PPSI has five craft inspectors, one environmental inspector, and one Native American monitor inspecting the work of approximately 25 contractor employees. Construction progress from November 17 through 21, 1997 included the following:

Segment 1 Activities:

Activity	Milepost (approximate)	Activity	Milepost (approximate)
• Pot-hole	29.65 to 27.91	• Trench	33.50
• Valve site	32.81 (Copco Road)

Segment 1 Comments: No non-compliance events occurred. Excavation at MP 33.50 is slow because unstable sand needs to be shored and excavation needs to be at least 14 feet deep to avoid foreign lines.

Segment 1 Schedule for Next Week:

Continue pot-holing along Peace Valley Road north from Gorman School Road.
