RE: Amended Variance Request #57 - Allow for construction seven days a week between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the Gorman Slide directional drill sites and 24-hour construction during the pull back operation, Los Angeles County (Segment 1).

Dear Mr. Shauers:

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

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

- All noise complaints received shall be filed immediately with the County of Los Angeles and CPUC Lead Environmental Monitor for consideration. Failure to file any noise complaints shall result in the immediate cessation of construction as granted under this variance approval.

- During 24-hour operations, lighting shall be positioned at the directional drill sites in such a manner as to not project light onto Interstate 5.

- As proposed, PPSI shall provide the CPUC Lead Environmental Monitor with 48 hour advance notice of pull back operations.

- 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
