Summary: On June 20, 2000, Marcel Hawiger, attorney with The Utility Reform Network (TURN), met with Cmmr. Bilas in San Francisco. Also present was Ann Watson, advisor to Cmmr. Bilas. Hawiger stated that TURN generally supports the Proposed Decision. Hawiger stated that TURN supports the requirement for more baseline data to evaluate incentive milestones and for a schedule to be filed by the utilities to revise the milestones. Hawiger explained that if the Commission does not require revised milestones it should alternatively prorate the existing milestones to adjust for the decrease in the total award cap from 11% to 7% due to D00-05-019. Hawiger explained further that adopting the milestones as proposed would allow the utilities to complete proportionately fewer milestones, and thus fewer programs, and still earn their maximum award.

Summary: On June 18, 2000, Evelyn Elsesser, counsel for Aerojet-General Corporation, Huffy Corporation, and Wynn Oil Company (Responding Parties), had a telephone conference with Tim Sullivan, advisor to Cmmr. Duque. Elsesser expressed the Responding Parties' views that the proposed decision could be further strengthened with clearer and more specific findings regarding the scope of the data examined in the Commission's review; the extent to which compliance with Department of Health Services (DHS) standards ensures that the water served by the utilities is not "harmful or dangerous" to health under General Order No. 103; the conclusions that may be drawn from the review of the 25 years of utility reporting data for periods during which there were no DHS standards in place; and the extent to which exeedances may occur without health impacts to the public. Elsesser urged the Commission to accept further comments with the aim of further refining the analysis and supporting the proposed findings. Elsesser further urged the Commission to ensure that it fully exercises its jurisdiction in this proceeding to preserve its authority in water quality regulation.

Contact: Phil Vizcarra Phone: (415) 421-4143 Summary: On June 19, 2000, Evelyn Elsesser, counsel for Aerojet-General Corporation, Huffy Corporation, and Wynn Oil Company (Responding Parties), met with Geoffrey Dryvynsyde, advisor to Cmmr. Lynch. Also present were: Barry Goode, counsel to Wynn Oil Company, and James Meeder, counsel to parties engaged in the related appellate action. Elsesser expressed the Responding Parties' views that the proposed decision (PD) could be further strengthened with clearer and more specific findings regarding the scope of the data examined in the Commission's review; the extent to which compliance with Department of Health Services (DHS) standards ensures that the water served by the utilities is not "harmful or dangerous" to health under General Order No. 103; the conclusions that may be drawn from the review of the 25 years of utility reporting data for periods during which there were no DHS standards in place; and the extent to which exeedances may occur without health impacts to the public. Elsesser suggested that further proceedings should be undertaken to examine the potential health impacts of the water utilities over the past 25 year. Goode suggested that, as drafted, the PD would cause confusion regarding the Commission's jurisdiction over water quality. Meeder emphasized his concerns about provisions of the PD pertaining to the potential liability of the water utilities, in particular, the PD's decision to leave open the question of whether a water utility could be held liable despite full compliance with Commission standards. Elsesser urged the Commission to accept further comments with the aim of further refining the analysis and supporting the proposed findings. Elsesser further urged the Commission to ensure that it fully exercises its jurisdiction in this proceeding. Filer: Aerojet-General Corp., et al.
