it is largely weather-based. if there is a performance problem, then we are not out money. the contract terms protect us from that. i thought it was not an issue that even in heavy fog would generate enough. we do generate electricity. just as on an overcast day you can get sunburned and generate electricity, but it is not as efficient. we only pay the power producer for the kilowatt hour per meter. we pay based on what we are projecting. it produced less, so that means we are paying less, but that means we are whole and not harmed. and the other item is our standard water system and program report. good afternoon, commissioners. in my have day-to-day i wanted to touch on two projects. the caltrans dam and the bae tunnel. the cow thecal res the cal res dam, we have completed 14 of the 16 additional borrowings that are required to further analyze these new geologic features that were discovered at the project site. the contractor has been very helpful in giving us si
the contractor to make that happen in the next few weeks. as you know, that work on the bae tunnel has progressed very well. however, we did encounter a situation late last week that will impact our project progress. last friday, we were notified by cargill, who is in charge of a salt pond operation in new work, that they had discovered some pretty significant cracking around one of their levees around their salt bond salt pond in the bay. and since we had just tunnel underneath that levee, the assumption iwas that the tunnelling was what was causing the cracking. keep in mind and our tunnelling is 680 ft. below surface. we immediately stopped our exploration activities and we re working with our project engineers and geologists on assessing the situation. we have also completed the repairs on the crack subsidence on the levee already. we have yet to determine whether or tunneling activities are what cause the cracking. in the meantime, we re putting together a mitigation p
i m also wondering if pg&e will vacate their existing building if their new pipelines are being taken out of the old? and i m assuming that they will cover all of the puc costs related to this relocation. mr. harrington? all of the different parts of the puc are involved with city planning, because city planning has to be happy with the final review on that. in many cases, i believe they want to have the old pipeline left in place. what you do when a pipeline is still underground there, we re working on reimbursement of costs. and if they are leaving the zero pipeline leaving the old pipeline, to the extent that their costs later on, they re working that out, right? yes. ok, thank you. the report of the bosky general manager, mr. johnson. i will keep my remarks brief. you have a long way to go today. i think i am interested in watching you deal with the triple bottom line, as you do your sources to work. a couple of comments, ab 6127, that would allow us to is

our future needs. whether that is something we will have to adjust for, but yes, we will take a look and verify our understanding of the differences. it is largely weather-based. if there is a performance problem, then we are not out money. the contract terms protect us from that. i thought it was not an issue that even in heavy fog would generate enough. we do generate electricity. just as on an overcast day you can get sunburned and generate electricity, but it is not as efficient. we only pay the power producer for the kilowatt hour per meter. we pay based on what we are projecting. it produced less, so that means we are paying less, but that means we are whole and not harmed. and the other item is our standard water system and program report. good afternoon, commissioners. in my have day-to-day i wanted to touch on two projects. the caltrans dam and the bae tunnel. the cow thecal res the cal res dam, we have completed 14 of the 16 additional borrowings that are
