A. INTRODUCTION

Construction continued on Segment 5 (Milepost [MP] 108 to 118). Construction is complete on Segments 1 (MP 0 to 33), 2A (MP 33 to 50), 2B (MP 56 to 73), 2C (MP 50 to 56), 3A (MP 73 to 82), 3B (MP 90 to 99), Segment 3C (MP 82 to 90), 4A (MP 99 to 108), and 4B (El Segundo MP 0 to 11). Construction is also complete at Emidio, Grapevine, Whitaker, Lynwood, Wilmington and El Segundo stations.

On February 1, the California Public Utilities Commission and the Angeles National Forest issued Notices to Proceed with Line Fill to Pacific Pipeline System, Inc. Line fill with crude oil was begun on February 1 and has progressed to approximately Linden Avenue (Segment 3, EMP 89.31). Line fill began at the south end of the pipeline (Wilmington refinery) and is progressing at approximately 0.5 miles per hour. Valves are reinspected for possible leaks during line fill.

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 occurred through agricultural fields, along roads and across very steep slopes. General construction has been completed on this segment, including installation of fiber optic cable and hyrdotest. Final clean-up, restoration and revegetation remain to be completed.

C. SEGMENT 2A CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment within the Angeles National Forest (ANF) involved very steep slopes and required significant time and additional equipment for trenching, stringing, and other pipe-laying activities. General construction has been completed on this segment, including supplemental activities such as road repair, revegetation, completion of valve installation, installation of fiber optic cable, and hydrotest.

D. SEGMENT 2B CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment is primarily in open lands and roadway right-of-ways from Castaic to Sylmar. General construction has been completed on this segment, including installation of fiber optic cable, clean-up operations, repaving of roadways, and hydrotest.

E. SEGMENT 2C CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment is primarily in open lands and roadway right-of-ways from Templin Highway to Castaic. General construction has been completed on this segment, including revegetation, erosion control, installation of fiber optic cable, and hydrotesting.

F. SEGMENT 3A CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment is within MTA rail right-of-way from San Fernando to Taylor Yard in Los Angeles. General construction has been completed on this segment, including installation of fiber optic cable and hydrotesting. Crews continue to work on clean-up operations and erosion control.

G. SEGMENT 3B CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment was within MTA rail right-of-way in restricted areas of Taylor, Midway and Cornfield yards. General construction has been completed on this segment, including installation of fiber optic cable, bridge work, and repair of concrete paving in maintenance facility.

H. SEGMENT 3C CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment is within MTA rail right-of-way from Sylmar to San Fernando in Los Angeles. General construction has been completed on this segment, including hydrotest.

I. SEGMENT 4A-NIGHT CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment involved nighttime construction (7:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) in railroad and roadway right-of-ways through mostly industrial areas from downtown Los Angeles to Compton. General construction has been completed on this segment, including hydrotest.

J. SEGMENT 4B CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment is in railroad and roadway right-of-ways through mostly industrial areas from Watts Junction to El Segundo Refinery area. General construction has been completed on this segment, including hydrotest and clean-up.

K. SEGMENT 5 CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

This segment involves construction in railroad and roadway right-of-ways through mostly industrial areas from Compton to the Long Beach Harbor. Construction is complete on Segments 5A and 5B. Segment 5C EMs, Chris Huntley and Kris Thorne, have been on-site during construction. Work has been completed on Segment 5C, except at the Edison tie-in, and the Huntway refinery tie-in.

Construction progress from February 1 through 5, 1999: At the Edison site (near EMP 113.5), modification work continued to strengthen the top and base of the vault box. Spoil was spread to dry on the east side of the bore pit. Work was suspended at the site on February 4 because all PPSI inspectors were involved with line fill. At the Huntway site, trenching and potholing continued. Plans for next week include continuing to modify the vault at Edison and continuing the bore at Huntway.

No non-compliance events occurred. One project memo was issued this week to remind PPSI that work on the Huntway segment should remain within the approved ROW unless a request for extra work space has been approved.

L. VARIANCES

No variances were approved by CPUC or ANF from February 1 through 7, 1999.

M. EXTRA WORK SPACE

No extra work spaces/equipment storage areas were approved by CPUC or ANF from February 1 through 7, 1999.
