RE: Variance Request #87 - Request to not use reclaimed water during nighttime construction activities at the Taylor Yard, Segment 3B.

Dear Mr. Shauers:

We have reviewed the above-referenced Variance Request and approve your request, based on the following factors:

• Nighttime construction at the Taylor Yard (Variance Request #59) was approved by the CPUC on April 6, 1998.

• Given the hours of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s (LADWP) Glendale Plant, reclaimed water is not available for nighttime construction. As a result, the PPSI contractor would like to take water from the City of Los Angeles fire hydrants (LADWP) to use for backfill and dust control purposes. The contractor currently posses a Los Angeles City water meter. Obtaining water from nearby fire hydrants would minimize the truck trips required to transport water to the subject construction site.

• Under Variance Request #26, approved by the CPUC on October 23, 1997, the need to use reclaimed water during nighttime construction activities along Segment 4A was also waived.

• The following measures shall be implemented:

- All applicable mitigation measures for the project shall be implemented at the subject location.

- Fire hydrants within Taylor Yard shall be used to obtain water for back and dust control purposes.

- Implementation of this variance in accordance with the provisions noted above shall be verified on a random basis by a CPUC/ANF Environmental Monitor.

Sincerely,

Andrew Barnsdale

Project Manager
