To Whom It May Concern
I am writing this letter to verify there has been no attempt to contact our family about purchasing land
North of Keenesburg by Calpine.
tt Calpine is interested in this land, we would be willing to talk to them about a purchase. This land is
approximately two miles North of Keenesburg bordering an oil road that goes to the old Coors coal mine.
The 320 acres is currently in the government CRP program.
ly,
Perry Mar
Son and Agent for Elma Jean Edmiston

HUDSON AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
29629 E. 156th Avenue
Brighton, Colorado 80603
October 21, 2001
To Whom It May Concern:
The Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce has voted to support the building
of the proposed Rocky Mountain Energy plant east of Hudson by the
Calpine Corporation.
This privately funded project will initially generate much needed tax
revenue in the form of purchases from local businesses, and once
operational, steady, sustained revenue from payroll and local property taxes.
Calpine Corporation has indicated that it will pave and maintain the roads
accessing the project.
The plant will be using natural gas for the generation of electricity, resulting
in a 90% cleaner and 40% more efficient plant than the typical plant
currently in operation. Additionally, the water used in the generation of
power will be recycled wastewater purchased from the City of Aurora.
There will be no wastewater discharge from the plant.
The electricity generated will not be sold to out-of-state interests and used
elsewhere; 100% will be used in Colorado.
It is for these aforementioned reasons that the Hudson Area Chamber of
Commerce supports this project.

Members of the Weld County Planning Commission,
After discussion with representatives of Calpine, the Southeast Weld County Fairboard
Association voted to support the proposed Rocky Mountain Energy Center, LLC power plant and
recommends teat the Weld County Planning Commission and the Weld County Board of
Commissioners grant the permit for the power plant.
The fairboard recognizes that some members of the community will be impacted by the location
of the proposed power plant. However, representatives of Calpine who spoke with the fairboard
indicated that they are working with the individuals most impacted to preserve their quality of
life through landscaping, air filtering, etc. On balance, we feel the benefits of the increased tax
base for the school, fire, library, arid community college taxing districts, as well as the county,
outweigh the impact on our neighbors and friends who live close to the plant site.

To the Weld County Planning Commission::
As an adjoining property owner and a life long member of the community, I
would like to give my full support to the construction of the Rocky Mountain
Energy Center Power Generation Facility.
I currently own and farm 60 acres in section 31 adjoining the proposed site and
have future plans to build a house on this property.
I feel that this facility would be a great asset to our School District and our
Community.
Respectfully
Your�,

November 5, 2001
Department of planning Services
1555N. 17th Avenue
Greeley, Cob. 80631
To Weld County Planning Commission;
R.E. Rocky Mountain Energy Center.
Because ALE partnership is a property owner within 500 feet of the proposed site for Rocky
Mountain Energy Center, Weld County staff requested a written response from us.
ALE Partnership owns the airport and property including my farm and equipment yard,
shop and office on the east side of the proposed site. We are in support of the plant for
the following reasons. (I) We feel it is compatible because on the west side of the
proposed site the property is in Hudson and is zoned industrial, and also already has some
large industrial plants, one of them being a chlorine plant.
(2) On the east side of the Proposed site is my airport and my farm and equipment yard,
Shop and Office. We also have a 10 year farm lease with Calpine to farm the portion of
the section owned by Calpine that will not be part of the power plant site. We will be
growing corn, alfalfa, small grains, and will be running cattle on the pasture.
I am confident that Calpine will make good on its plan to keep the balance of the property
in agriculture, as I am the one that will be farming the property.
During the month of June Calpine ask to use my airplane hanger and facility to have an
open house to inform the people and get their feeling on the proposed plant. At the open
house over 200 people showed for the information and prime rib supper. At that meeting
there were about half a dozen people against the plant and about 1 dozen that was
undecided, and the balance of the people appeared to think is was good for the
community. The dozen that was undecided their main concern seemed to be that they
wanted to see the rest of the farm stay in agriculture.
Again, My partners and I are in support of this project and on their behalf I'm urging you
to approve the Calpine application.
Respectfully yours,
Lloyd L. and
ALE Partnership

Green Acres Turf Farm
As farmers located in the vicinity of the proposed power
generation facility, we wish to encourage and lend support for
additional power development in the area. We would like to see
the development of a land use friendly system, developed to
benefit the state, county and town government. Our concern is
that the state and local region should not be left with a scarcity of
power as is beginning to happen across other parts of the country.
The state of Oklahoma, according to the media, is aggressively
seeking the development of the power generating industry.
As farmers, we certainly are not energy experts as to the location
issues. However, our opinion is that if this project is pursued
diligently, thoroughly, and with great integrity from all parties it
may generate good things for everyone.
Some possibilities are the following:
1. Revenues for government and the institutions that they fund
can be greatly enhanced. Education budgets with the
advent of new technology require schools to provide more
expensive higher technology training, which translates into
higher dollars. Higher technological advanced sewer and
water systems require more financing to comply with state
and federal standards. Both of these requirements allow a
community to help their youth meet the competitive
educational climate and elevate the quality of life of a
town's infrastructure.
2. Revenues from commercial enterprises enable towns to
serve its community better than a multitude of new housing
developments. Reviewing the state tax laws should
demonstrate this.
3. If conscientious development occurs, this agricultural area
may benefit by allowing farmers to sell their land as
development increases. Farms that are not part of large
conglomerates can compete better by having available
capital provided by land sales. Arguments about trying to
restrict Denver growth still does not address falling
agricultural prices due to tough foreign competition and EXHIBIT
rising prices for production. In the face of a difficult
1
13"x►
agricultural economic climate these revenues can help
sustain the farmers desire to farm.
4. These are only few descriptions about what we think might
be possible.
Any city or town, that is planned a lack of clear understanding,
will not be available to take advantage of resources which will
enhance the quality of life. Looking across the country, staying
small does not guarantee a city or town to maintain its quality
of life. There are small towns across America which are
struggling to keep their young people and whose insufficient
tax base is a handicap to create a good quality of life in law
enforcement, roadways, sewer systems and good drinking
water. Just as ones house needs diligent cleaning, improving,
and maintenance, so a town must maintain the good qualities as
well as improve the parts that need diligence, initiative, and
thoroughness to keep it up.
Everyone must scrutinize the benefits of this project. Taking a
firm no growth stand or fearful attitudes that someone will take
advantage of the town may cause you to miss what could be a
financial blessing. Politics cannot take the place of thorough
planning, an informed public and integrity at the government and
business level. As town members you are laying the foundation
for your children, the economic life for yourselves, and in some
ways for the future of the state and county which you are part of.
It is not an issue of business, vs. the government or the people vs.
big business. The issue is whether this project can be evaluated
with the character traits of thoroughness, initiative, diligence,
integrity, and trustworthiness. Successful towns have proven that
these character issues are critical to achieving true prosperity and
an excellent quality of life.
