The release of gas occurred at Three Mile Creek Unit February 1-3, 2007 because a manual valve was left open by a production facility operator. The released volume was listed on the Facility Report of Produced Gas Disposition, Form 10-422 ("Gas Disposition Report") as flared or vented for more than 1 hour. The release constitutes a violation of AS 31.05.095, prohibiting the waste of gas. Because of this violation, the Commission proposed to issue an order, under 20 AAC 25.535(e)(4), directing Aurora Gas, LLC ("Aurora") to pay the fair market value of the natural gas at the point of waste. The Commission received from Aurora a check dated June 29, 2007 in the amount of $2,771.30, the calculated fair market value of the natural gas at the point of waste as presented in the Commission's letter dated May 2, 2007. Based on Aurora's payment, the Commission considers this action closed.

Based on the Gas Disposition Report, the Commission proposes to classify as "waste," as defmed by AS 31.05.170(15), 522 Mcf of natural gas: the volume of gas released because a manual valve was left open by a Three Mile Creek facility operator. The released volume is listed on the Gas Disposition Report as flared or vented for more than 1 hour. In fact, the duration of the release was nearly 48 hours. The release constitutes a violation of AS 31.05.095, prohibiting the waste of gas. Because of this violation, the Commission proposes to issue an order, under 20 AAC 25.535(e)(4), directing Aurora Gas, LLC ("Aurora") to pay the fair market value of the natural gas at the point of waste: $2,771.30. As provided by 20 AAC 25.535(c), within 15 days after receiving this notification, Aurora may file with the éôñunission a written response concurring in whole or in part with the proposed actions, requesting an informal review, or requesting a hearing under 20 AAC 25.540. If an informal review is requested, Aurora will have an opportunity to submit documentary material and make a written or oral statement; within 10 days after the proposed decision or order issues, Aurora may file a written request for a hearing, in which case the proposed decision or order will have no effect. After an informal review or a hearing, the Commission's action under 20 AAC 25.535(e) may not be limited to the proposed penalty described above. Also, the Commission's action under 20 AAC 25.535 is in addition to any action it may take under AS 31.05.160. J. Edward Jones May 2, 2007 Page 2 of2 . . If a timely written response to this notification is not filed, the Commission will consider Aurora to have accepted the proposed actions described above. For good cause shown, the Commission may, at Aurora's request, grant an extension of the 15-day response period. replaces the Commission's notification dated May 1, 2007. Sincerely, Daniel T.
