USR-1723 - Cedar Creek II (BP Alternative Wind Energy, Inc.) -Wind Facility Page 3 • Size of Parcel: +/-26,927 Acres(Approximately 146 acres of the site to be disturbed on long-term basis by the wind generator facility and approximately 1 acre of the site to be disturbed on a long-term basis by the transmission line facility) Parcel Number(s): Various PROPOSAL SUMMARY: The applicant is proposing a wind generator facility of up to 250.5 MW(Megawatts). This facility is located to the east of the existing wind generator facility (Cedar Creek I)that was approved in 2006 under USR-1563. If approved, this proposed facility will be under separate ownership than the previously permitted Cedar Creek I project. The applicant is proposing 250.5 MW along with a 230 kilovolt (kV) transmission line that will connect this facility with the existing with existing 72-mile transmission line(approved in 2006 under USR-1562)that connects to the Keenesburg substation and XCEL Energy power grid. One(1) temporary batch plant/construction staging area is proposed while the facility is constructed along with one(1) permanent substation and operations and maintenance facility within the boundaries of this proposed USR. THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES'STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THIS REQUEST BE APPROVED FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS: 1. The submitted materials are in compliance with the application requirements of Chapter 21 of the Weld County Code 2. It is the opinion of the Department of Planning Services'staff that the applicant has shown compliance with Section 21-3-340. A of the Weld County Code, as follows: Section 21-3-340.A.1 — The health, welfare and safety of the citizens of the County will be protected and served. • The Design Standards (Section 23-2-240), Operation Standards (Section 23-2-250), Conditions of Approval,and Development Standards ensure that there are adequate provisions for the protection of health, safety, and welfare of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and County. Section 21-3-340.A.2-The natural and socio-economic environment of the County will be protected and enhanced. The site encompasses 26,927 acres. Approximately 146 acres of the site associated with the wind energy facility would be disturbed on long-term basis by the wind generator facility and Approximately 1 acre of the site would be disturbed on a long-term basis by the transmission line. Approximately 20% of the area will be disturbed on a short-term basis for construction. Disturbed areas include footprints of the turbine towers, access roads, substations, 230-kV transmission structures and the electric collection system structures. Impact on farming and ranching activities will be minimal as these activities can continue up to the base of the wind turbines. The project is proposed to employ approximately 250 people during construction of the project and employ approximately 12-14 people during the operating life of the project. The site is located in an Economic Empowerment Zone established by the State of Colorado. The project would represent an investment of approximately two-hundred fifty($250)million dollars and generate additional tax base for the county through additional property tax revenues. Also, money would be generated for the 26 property owners with wind generators on their property through royalties and the 9 property owners through which the interconnection transmission line would run would receive option and lump sum easement payments. Section 21-3-340.A.3--All reasonable alternatives to the proposed action, including use of existing rights-of-way and joint use of rights-of-way wherever uses are compatible, have been adequately assessed and the proposed action is compatible with and represents the best interests of the people • of the County and represents a fair and reasonable utilization of resources in the impact area. USR-1723 - Cedar Creek II (BP Alternative Wind Energy, Inc.) - Wind Facility Page 4 • The application indicates the wind generator facility location was selected based on wind resources, environmental considerations, transmission characteristics, and economic considerations. An assessment of wind speed was conducted by the United States Department of Energy in which ten (10) sites in Colorado were evaluated. Of these ten (10) sites, this location had the highest average wind speed. Additionally, six (6) anemometers were installed in the area (one in 2002 and five in 2007) to further monitor wind speed in the area. The applicant has stated that they believe this location has one of the best wind resources in the state. The applicant would install a transmission line running approximately 20 miles (as the crow flies) from Cedar Creek II to the existing Cedar Creek I substation facility. The facility will connect to and utilize the excess capacity on the existing 72-mile transmission line (approved under USR- 1562) running from the Cedar Creek I facility to the Keenesburg substation eliminating the need to construct a separate transmission line to connect to the Keenesburg substation. Transmission line locations were evaluated based on the following criteria: 1) Potential Missile Route Crossing(s) 2) Impact to Military Infrastructure 3) Impact to buildings/residences 4) Drainage Crossing Potential 5) Land Use Impacts 6) Relation to/distance from Cedar Creek Wind Farm Turbine arrays 7)Wildlife Impacts 8) Transmission and Distribution 9) 100-Year Floodplains Based on review of the above criteria, the selected route minimally impacted area buildings and residences and the existing Cedar Creek turbine arrays. In addition, this route was selected based • on land acquisition issues and engineering and design goals. In general, areas of sensitive natural environments, including riparian areas, water bodies, and areas of potentially suitable habitat for threatened and endangered species or species of state concern, would be avoided where possible. Section 21-3-340.A.4--A satisfactory program to mitigate and minimize adverse impacts has been presented. The application indicates Cedar Creek II, LLC evaluated a variety of environmental criteria that included a review of existing wildlife habitat information, sensitive vegetation communities, water resources, culturally sensitive areas, and other resource concerns. Environmental surveys for this Project have been conducted since 2006 and include two full years of avian use and raptor nest surveys, two seasons of bat acoustic monitoring, breeding bird surveys, sharp-tailed grouse lek surveys, habitat mapping, wetlands delineation and a cultural resources assessment. Facilities are sited to minimize impacts to identified resources. If built in phases, environmental studies would be re-evaluated for each Project phase prior to construction. Additional sensitive species surveys would be conducted as relevant to inform and refine siting before the final infrastructure layout is submitted to Weld County prior to construction. Section 21-3-340.A.5--The nature and location or expansion of the facility complies with all applicable provisions of the master plan of this County, and other applicable regional, metropolitan, state and national plans. This proposed facility is supported and encouraged by the Weld County Comprehensive Plan: Section 22-4-50. A.3 AIR Policy 1.4 states: "The county encourages innovative and creative approaches to alternative energy sources." Wind energy is considered an alternative energy source. • USR-1723 - Cedar Creek II (BP Alternative Wind Energy, Inc.) - Wind Facility Page 5 Section 22-5-140.A AE.Goal states: "Support and encourage research, development and use of • alternative energy resources." Section 22-5-140.A. AE.Policy 1.3. states: "Support the commercial development and use of wind energy." The proposed project is located outside of the 3-mile referral area as well as any intergovernmental agreement area of any municipality. Section 21-3-340.A.6 --The nature and location or expansion of the facility does not unduly or unreasonably impact existing community services. The applicant will also propose to work cooperatively with the Pawnee Fire Protection District to ensure adequate fire protection.The proposed wind farm and supporting improvements would employ approximately 12-14 people during the operating life of the project will not generate significant demands on community services such as the school district. In the short-term up to 250 short-term employees will be involved in the construction of the project. The site is located approximately 17 miles east of Grover, Colorado, 17 miles north of New Raymer, Colorado, approximately 40 miles south/southwest of Kimball, Nebraska, and approximately 72 miles northeast of Greeley, Colorado. Section 21-3-340.A.7--The nature and location or expansion of the facility will not create an expansion of the demand for government services beyond the reasonable capacity of the community or region to provide such services, as determined by the Board of County Commissioners. Only 12-14 full-time employees are anticipated for this site. The greatest demand/impact on government services (specifically County roads) will occur doing construction of the project. All of the materials for the Project would be transported to the site during construction by truck. These deliveries would consist of water, gravel, concrete supplies to on-site batch plants, turbine • components, tower, and equipment deliveries. This traffic has the potentially to significantly impact county roads as well as state highways in the area. The applicant indicates that they will work with Weld County Public Works to ensure the proper maintenance and repair of all roads used by the project and will post adequate collateral for a retainer should roads require immediate repair. The Weld County Public Works Department is requiring a Road Maintenance Agreement for the designated haul route to be utilized during construction of the facility. The Road Maintenance Agreement will require collateral (bonding) to ensure road repairs and road maintenance do not impact the level of service for county roads. The Road Maintenance Agreement and collateral would require acceptance by the Board of County Commissioners. This is attached as a condition of approval of this project. Section 21-3-340.A.9--The nature and location of the facility or expansion will not adversely affect the water rights of any upstream, downstream or agricultural users, adjacent communities or other water users. The application states that the project will not impact hydrologic flow of either surface of either surface water or groundwater, nor will it affect groundwater recharge. Existing drainage patterns will be preserved. If access roads cross stream channels, appropriately sized culverts or other mitigation techniques will be employed and would be installed to maintain channel flow and morphology. The Department of Public Works is requiring a Final Drainage report to be submitted for review and acceptance prior to recording the plat and prior to construction of any facet of the project. This is attached a condition of approval for this application. • USR-1723 - Cedar Creek 11 (BP Alternative Wind Energy, Inc.) -Wind Facility Page 6 Section 21-3-340.A.10--Adequate water supplies are available for facility needs. • The applicant is proposing to haul water purchased from landowners to supply water for the concrete batch plant, dust control, and drinking water during construction of the facility. The Colorado Division of Water Resources, in their referral received November 10,2009, indicated no objection to the use of this source of water. The applicant will be required to obtain a commercial well permit through the Colorado Division of Water Resources for the onsite operations and maintenance facility. Section 21-3-340.A.11— The nature and location of the facility or expansion will not unduly interfere with existing easements, rights-of-way, other utilities, canals, mineral claims or roads. The applicants have negotiated land lease and easement agreements with all of the private property owners within the boundaries of the proposed site.The applicant has finalized all transmission rights- of-way agreement with the exception of the state sections. The applicant anticipates having these rights-of-way agreement in place by April 2010. Section 21-3-340.A.12--Adequate electric, gas, telephone, water, sewage and other utilities exist or shall be developed to service the site. Water for permanent facilities (operations & maintenance building) will be obtained via a proposed commercial well and sewer will be provided by individual septic system. Electric, gas and telephone are in the area. Section 21-3-340.A.13-The nature and location for expansion of the facility will not unduly interfere with any significant wildlife habitat or adversely affect any endangered wildlife species, unique natural resource or historic landmark within the impact area. The State of Colorado, Division of Wildlife(CDOW)stated in a letter dated December 9,2009 that the • wind turbines should be located within the designated 1,000-foot corridors and requests a review of the wind turbine locations prior to placement. Additionally CDOW requests that construction occur between July 15th and December 15th and that any associated fluids associated with the temporary batch plant facility be contained in covered tanks versus in open pits. The applicant indicated in a written response to the CDOW referral letter that it would take into consideration the placement of the turbine in relation to buffers, the prevailing wind direction,and the likelihood for the turbine blades to extend into the setback buffer zone before the final placement of the turbines is decided. Other limiting factors considered in turbine placement include safety setback restrictions, property line setbacks, and constructability factors among other things. In most cases, turbines will be placed so that no part of the turbine structure will extend into the recommended setbacks; however, in a worst-case scenario, a turbine blade could potentially extend into a 0.25 mile (1,320 feet) setback or a 0.50 mile (2,640 ft) setback by 114 to 135 feet depending upon the turbine selected. Cedar Creek II, LLC does not anticipate this being an issue in turbine placement but will continue consultation with the CDOW, including sharing an array of turbine placements. Because individual turbine locations will be evaluated considering the setbacks from raptor nests, we do not see the need to uniformly restrict the 1,000-foot corridors as they currently exist.CDOW also attached general recommendations for wind developers to the referral response The United States Department of the Interior — Fish and Wildlife listed several concerns and recommendations in their referral letter dated December 7, 2009. Items listed included but were not limited to: • Concerns that the transmission line would pass within 0.5 miles of Golden Eagle nests. • Strongly recommends that Avian Power Line Interaction guidelines be followed for the transmission line and collector transmission lines. • Construction timing (recommends that construction occur outside of nesting season or conduct pre-construction surveys for nesting species and buffer areas around nesting USR-1723 - Cedar Creek II (BP Alternative Wind Energy, Inc.) -Wind Facility Page 7 sites) • Setbacks from the escarpment(have a consistent setback distance vs. specific setbacks only from where nesting areas have been identified) • Collect additional data re: golden eagles in the area so that avoidance/mitigation measures can be developed. The applicant has provided a written response to the recommendations and concerns indicated in both the CDOW and US Fish & Wildlife referrals. Correspondence submitted to the Department of Planning Services by the applicant, as well as by the referral agencies, indicates that discussions are ongoing re: outstanding issues and concerns. Therefore, the Department of Planning Services has attached two conditions of approval that the applicant demonstrates attempted compliance with the recommendations of CDOW and US Fish &Wildlife prior to recording the plat. The application indicates that four cultural resource sites within the current boundaries of the proposed Project Area were previously recorded. Not one of these sites is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. A cultural resource survey would be conducted within the proposed Project infrastructure footprint prior to the release of any building permit for any construction. The application indicates if any significant artifacts are found during construction, Cedar Creek II, LLC will comply with all local, state, and federal requirements for protecting cultural/archaeological resources. Section 21-3-340.A.14— The nature and location or expansion of the facility, including expected growth and development related to the operation and provision of service, will not significantly deteriorate water or air quality in the impact area. According to the application materials, the proposed project will have no long term impact on water or air quality. During construction, some fugitive dust may be generated during periods of dry weather in areas where soil has been disturbed. The contractor will control dust by applying • water to any such disturbed areas. In the event of excess dust being generated on county roads, Cedar Creek II, LLC would provide an adequate dust suppressant(calcium chloride or magnesium chloride)for approximately 300 feet from any residence. As another alternative, roads may receive an application of fly ash to increase stability. Cedar Creek II, LLC, will submit a Dust Control Plan to the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment for review and approval. The applicant would provide evidence of an Air Pollution Emission Notice (APEN) and Emissions Permit application from Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment's Air Pollution Control Division for the concrete batch plant to Weld County prior to the initiation of construction activities. The applicant indicates that they will submit a Stormwater Management Plan designed to meet the requirements of the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment Construction Stormwater Discharge Permit. The plan will include best management practices such as retention ponds, sedimentation control measures, and covering of exposed soils. Section 21-3-340.A.15 — The geological and topographic features of the site are adequate for all construction, clearing, grading, drainage, vegetation and other needs of the facility construction or expansion. The proposed wind facility would be located on a plateau. The application indicates that the facility (the wind generator and transmission line facilities)will not alter the geology or topography of the area. The construction and operation of the proposed wind energy facility would not alter the geology of the proposed site nor affect opportunities for mineral extraction. The applicant intends to locate Turbine corridors and other Project facilities primarily along the relatively flat expanses of highlands. Steep slopes and escarpments—characteristic of the southern-most wind farm Project Area—would be avoided. • USR-1723 - Cedar Creek II (BP Alternative Wind Energy, Inc.) -Wind Facility Page 8 Section 21-3-340.A.16— The existing water quality of affected state waters will not be degraded below state and federal standards or established baseline levels. The existing water quality of affected state waters will not be degraded below state and federal standards or established baseline levels by the project. Section 21-3-340.A.17— The proposed project will not have a significantly adverse net effect on the capacities or functioning of streams, lakes and reservoirs in the impact area, nor on the permeability, volume, recharge capability and depth of aquifers in the impact area. According to the application, Subsurface drainage would not be impacted by the proposed wind energy facility. Erosion and discharge of pollutants from the proposed Project would be minimized through implementation of a Storm Water Management Plan. The application indicates that the transmission line would cross Two Mile Creek and several unnamed drainage ways. Construction of the Project would not create runoff in excess of historic site levels and would not change existing topography or adversely affect drainage. There would be no alteration in the pattern or intensity of surface drainage as a result of construction and operation of the interconnection facility. Section 21-3-340.A.18— The benefits of the proposed developments outweigh the losses of any natural resources or reduction of productivity of agricultural lands as a result of the proposed development. The majority of the site consists of grazing lands/open lands with some areas of dryland crop production. The facility will have little impact on agricultural lands within the site. Permanent facilities • upon completion will only cover approximately 146 acres of the 26,927 acre site. The wind turbines and associated operations as proposed will not interfere with existing or future oil and gas facilities. Section 21-3-340.A.19— The applicant has obtained or will obtain all property rights, permits and approvals necessary for the proposed project, including surface, mineral and water rights and easements for drainage, disposal, utilities, access, etc. If the applicant has not obtained all necessary property rights, permits and approvals, the Board may, at its discretion, grant the permit conditioned upon completion of the acquisition of such rights prior to issuance of a zoning or building permit by the County. The application indicates that individual land lease and wind easement agreements (with the exception of transmission rights-of-way agreements with the Colorado State Land Board) have been obtained between owners. The applicant has obtained or will obtain all property rights, permits and approvals necessary for the proposed project, including surface, mineral and water rights and easements for drainage, disposal utilities, access, etc..., with approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The Department of Planning Services has attached a condition of approval that outstanding transmission rights-of-way agreements be finalized prior to recording the plat. Section 21-3-340.A.20- The proposed project(nonlinear facilities) will not present an unreasonable risk of exposure to or release of toxic or hazardous substances within the impact area. The determination of effects of the project shall include the following considerations: a.

The likelihood of hazardous materials or wastes being moved off the site by natural causes or • forces. USR-1723 - Cedar Creek Il (BP Alternative Wind Energy, Inc.) - Wind Facility Page 9 c. Containment of inflammable or explosive liquids, solids or gases.• The proposed project will not present an unreasonable risk of exposure to or release of toxic or hazardous substances within the impact area. The Environmental Health Department is requiring that a waste handling plan be submitted as a condition of approval. Section 21-3-340.A.21 — The scope and nature of the proposed project will not unnecessarily duplicate existing services within the County. The scope and nature of the proposed project will not unnecessarily duplicate existing services within the county. The proposed facility will address increasing demands for electricity in Colorado and address renewable energy requirements outlined under Amendment 37 and House Bill 1281. Section 21-3-340.A.22—If the purpose and need for the proposed project are to meet the needs of an increasing population within the County, the area and community development plans and population trends demonstrate clearly a need for such development. The purpose and need for the proposed project is to address additional growth in Colorado principally in the Front Range Area. Weld County(especially the Southwest Weld County Area)is experiencing a portion of this growth. The Project is proposed to help supply the region's demand for additional renewable energy resources. Electrical demand continues to increase in Colorado, largely as a result of continued growth and development along the Front Range. Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo)'s 2007 Colorado Resource Plan includes plans for 800 MW of new wind generation by 2015 and an additional 1,000 MW of wind generation by 2020. Although PSCO's demand for renewable energy dominates regional demand, other utilities such as • Tri-state Generation and Transmission Association, Inc., the Platte River Power Authority, the Municipal Association of Nebraska, Colorado Springs Utilities, and the Colorado Electric Utility, located in Pueblo and owned by Black Hills Corporation, also contribute to the regional demand. In 2004, Colorado voters passed Amendment 37, the Renewable Energy Requirement. This initiative requires that the state's largest utilities obtain a minimum of 3 percent of their electricity from renewable energy resources by 2007, 6 percent by 2011, and 10 percent by 2015. More recently in March of 2007, House Bill 1281 was passed in Colorado. This bill increased the renewable energy requirement in Colorado from 10 percent to 20 percent for PSCo and extended the deadline for compliance from 2015 to 2020.

We have an application currently in review for the Cedar Creek II wind farm facility (BP Alternative Wind Energy) . The applicant intends to connect with the existing substation approved under Cedar Creek I (approved in 2006). However, since Cedar Creek II is under separate ownership - they intend to build and own their connection facilities to the Cedar Creek I substation (see attached drawings). The question is can this be done without amending the Cedar Creek I USR (USR- 1563)? If you recall we had some discussions (about a year or so ago) about allowing the Cedar Creek II transmission line to cross the Cedar Creek I USR boundaries via an easement as a condition of approval for Cedar Creek II (vs. Amending USR-1563) . Would this be any different? Thanks, /� _vvv., Cj ANT L J 1\oii tab I N - D-17-1 (---E-014(---E-014(---E-0144.
