This gas main was installed and <br />was used to some extent during early periods of operation of the TCAAP, but <br />has not been used in recent years. It has, within the past year, been filled <br />with grout to prevent any possible future problems associated with the <br />physical deterioration of the pipeline. <br /> <br />Our research has indicated that normal industry practice in the state of <br />Minnesota and elsewhere is for utility companies to abandon unnecessary <br />pipelines in place, and then to terminate the pipeline real estate interests, <br />so that adjacent or overlying and underlying properties will no longer be <br />encumbered by the pipeline real estate interest. Please sign and return one <br />of the enclosed original license termination agreements indicating the city's <br />agreement with the abandonment and the termination of the government's real <br />estate interest; a second original is provided for your records. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please write to me at the above address or <br />telephone Mr. Walt Noordam of my staff at (402) 221-4338. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />fir f?;uL <br /> <br />Rick L.
