RE: Variance Request #94 - Modify the
construction start time from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. during the
"High Fire Danger Season" on rural lands between
Valencia Boulevard and McBean Parkway, Los Angeles County
(Segment 2B).
Dear Mr. Shauers:
The CPUC and ANF have reviewed the
above-referenced request and approve your request, based on the
following factors: 
    - In accordance with Mitigation Measure N-1,
        pipeline construction activities shall occur between 7:00
        a.m. and 7:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday (or for a
        shorter period if stipulated by applicable noise
        ordinance). 
 
    - Los Angeles County noise ordinances allow
        construction activities outside of the 7:00 a.m. to 7:00
        p.m. range in areas more than 500 feet from residential
        areas. The subject area is undeveloped and has no
        residences with the 500 foot zone. Los Angeles County
        Fire Department Inspector Kerry Brisson has approved the
        modified construction start time and has requested that
        the earlier start time be implemented immediately.
 
    - The following measures shall be
        implemented:
 
    - All applicable mitigation measures for
    the project shall be implemented at the subject location.
    - Prior to the implementation of the 5:00
    a.m. construction start time, written land owner approval
    shall be provided to the CPUC Environmental Monitor.
    - 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
