1 DR. TEAL: Deck drainage hydrocarbons are not generally involved 



2 because they have had a chance to evaporate on the deck and come out as 



3 little tarry things--it does not get down into the water. 



4 MR. VILD: Then what source of hydrocarbons are we talking about 



5 here? 



6 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



7 DR. TEAL: It is hydrocarbons from all sources. We do not really 



8 know where they come from. 



9 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



10 DR. KRAEUTER: If you look at our outline we were going down that 



11 outline and what we had was produced water, and then we had 



12 hydrocarbons, deck drainage, et cetera, under operational discharges. 



13 That is where it is. All the other sources of hydrocarbons-- 



14 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



15 MR. VILD: We should identify where those hydrocarbons are coming 



16 from. 



17 DR. GRASSLE: Why don't we put "H" or most of "H"--I guess I was 



18 right the first time. That paragraph at the top of 25d without the 



19 first sentence should go into "E." I was right the first time. I got 



20 confused. It goes into "E" and the present "E," which is produced water 



21 on 25b-- 



22 DR. KRAEUTER: The new "F"--given 500 meters set-back, it is 



23 unlikely that there would be any measurable effects from drilling muds 



24 and cuttings on commercial species in heads of canyons. 



25 DR. GRASSLE: Do you want to repeat that slowly? 



25 DR. KRAEUTER: Sure. "Given a 500 meter set-back, it is unlikely 



27 that there would be any measurable effects from drilling muds and 



28 cuttings on commercial species in the heads of canyons." 



29 (Simultaneous discussion.) 



30 DR. GRASSLE: Maybe "G" should just be "Deck drainage and sewage 



31 discharges are minor and therefore do not need to be considered." 



32 DR. VALENTINE: What about putting a little caveat in there about 



33 "given the dilution factor"--you know, something about the high dilution 



34 that would occur and that these are minor issues.
