Staff has determined that the addition of the above ground piping and valve set that will incorporate the KN pipeline and the Colorado Interstate Gas Company system into the existing Public Service system east of the town of Fort Lupton is not considered a substantial change to the existing permit. The area where this activity is to occur is within a one hundred (100) foot by seventy-five (75)foot fenced area south of Weld County Road 16 and west of Weld County Road 33. There are existing improvements in-situ. Staff notes that the Odorizer Building and Spill Containment Ring delineated on the submitted drawings are considered not a part of this request as noted on Drawing# 101, Drawing# 104 and Drawing # 108 dated August 13, 2001 vis a strikeout. Should further development occur within the boundary of this USR 1063, including the addition of the Odorizer Building and Spill Containment Ring, staff may determine this modification to the facility or any other modification to the USR 1063 project to be a substantial change. Please contact the Department of Building Inspection to determine the appropriate building permits required for your project.

The pipelines,all of which were in Weld County, were permitted under Use by Special Review 1063, Major Facilities of a Public Utility. Subsequent to the 1995 construction,Public Service Company has constructed three additional pipelines relative to this pipeline. Two of the pipelines were extensions,one to Tri-County Airport(USR 1077), the other to the Town of Mead(USR 1148)and then continuing on to Boulder County, north of Longmont. The third pipeline, from our Chalk Bluffs Compressor Station in northern Weld County, reinforces supply to this pipeline,connecting in the vicinity of our Fort Saint Vrain Generation plant. The purpose for this letter is to request permission,under USR 1063 to construct aboveground piping east of the Town of Fort Lupton, on and immediately adjacent to the existing pipeline built in 1995. The valve set will incorporate a KN pipeline,recently purchased from Kender Morgan, into the Public Service Company system. It will also tie into the Colorado Interstate Gas Company system to integrate their compression capacity into the Public Service system. Various maps and drawings are included with this request letter defining location and showing the proposed piping. The isometric view is looking slightly north of west and hopefully aids in visualizing our proposal. Construction will take place on both the PSCo pipeline easement and the CIG valve set site adjacent to our easement. Your consideration of this request is truly appreciated.

This combined cycle gas fired combustion turbine (CT) is essentially a duplicate unit of the two recently installed and currently operating units just outside of the main turbine building on the east-side of the plant facility. As you know, Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) intends to install this CT unit just east of these existing units at the plant facility. Please see the highlighted depiction on the enclosed drawing for the proposed location. We hope to begin construction of Unit #4 in the Spring of 2000 with completion occurring in June of the following year. I am writing to seek concurrence from Weld County that this plant modification is exempt from a formal Special Review permit process. As you know, Fort St. Vrain is an existing facility not a new "major facility of a public utility". It is PSCo's belief that this plant modification is not a major modification of an existing utility facility as was the case when the plant was converted from a nuclear facility to gas fired combined cycle steam plant in 1995. It is also PSCo's belief that this plant modification will benefit the health, safety, and welfare of our customers, including residents of Weld County. This installation will not require any change in zoning since it will occur on existing industrially zoned land. The proposed site of the new CT will not require substantial grading activities and no new off-site drainage will occur as a result of this project. The facility will not add substantially to visual impacts in the area. As you can see from the enclosed drawing, this CT will be located behind and/or adjacent to the existing plant facility and will not exceed the height of the existing plant structures. No new gas lines will be required by this project and the electricity from this additional unit will be transferred through previously Weld County approved electric transmission lines.

Avenue Greeley, Colorado 80631 Mr. Vigil: Public Service Company of Colorado has plans to build an alarm/security station at the Fort St. Vrain Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility (ISFSI). The address is: 17122 Weld County Rd. 19 Yz Platteville, Colorado 90651 This facility will station the security guards at the ISFSI and will allow them to monitor the spent fuel facility, make their rounds, and respond to any alarm that is generated inside of the storage facility. To make their rounds the guard must be able to climb stairs, ladders, and walk around the outside of the building on river rock. General access to the public is forbidden and only authorized personnel shall be in the alarm station. Because of the restriction of personnel and the duties to be performed, we are requesting exemption from the America's Disability Act (ADA) requirements. Other itema that we would like to bring to your attention are the lack of running water and sanitation provisions in this facility. The location of the alarm station (attached to the spent fuel storage bull mg)prohibits the intake of nourishment and personnel hygiene needs. The administration building, which is outside the fence and across the drive, has human conveniences but is approximately 100 feet away. The guards also patrol around the administration building, which gives them access to the administration building facilities. Food intake should be curtailed in the alarm station to eliminate the chance of radiation exposure. We are submitting the drawings for your review. If a building permit is required, please advise us so that the contractors can be given their directions as soon as possible.

PROPOSED LOCATION A 40 acre site located immediately south of the Fort St. Vrain Power Plant northwest of Platteville. The site is approximately 6 miles east of I-25 via paved WCR 34 and paved WCR 19.5; and 3 miles west of U.S. Highway 85 via paved WCR 32 (Grand Avenue in Platteville) and paved WCR 19.5. The land is owned by Public Service Company and is zoned I-3. Based on anticipated BFG utility needs, this is the most cost-effective and desirable property in Colorado. Market value of the property is estimated to be $32,670/acre when infrastructure is complete. See Site Location section. 2. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT COSTS/WAIVERS A variety of public and private infrastructure will need to be developed to serve this project. Various infrastructure requirements and estimated costs are summarized below. Based on BFG's anticipated job creation, investment, and overall positive impact on the state economy, Colorado has set aside up to $1 million in federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to help pay for a portion of the public infrastructure development costs. Greeley/Weld Economic Development (EDAP) and Weld County government have experience in preparing and successfully receiving CDBG funding. These two entities, with required participation from BFG, will be responsible for completing/monitoring the CDBG application process, which can be somewhat time consuming. See the Incentive Calculations section for additional information. Infrastructure requirements and estimated development costs: a. County Development: The County requires that Site Plan Review documentation be submitted by the company for county planning office approval. Site Plan Review requirements and general information can be found in the appendix. Fees will be assessed upon receiving the Site Plan submittal and when a building permit is issued. The very nominal county building/plan check fees, estimated to be approximately $28,000 (Phase 1 & 2), cannot be waived. Calculations are estimated based on the fee schedule which will go into effect in 1998 and may be subject to minor change once the fee schedule is adopted. r • Executive Summary—Page 2 b. Waste Water Development: The property is not served by a public sewer system. Therefore, a private septic system will need to be developed and operated by BFG. Based on soil types in the general area, a septic system is suitable. An experienced consultant has estimated the cost to handle domestic waste to be approximately $150,000, with an annual operating cost of approximately $1,000. At this time he is unable to estimate the cost associated with BFG production waste water. The chemical composition of the production waste and state health requirements will determine the most viable method of disposal (ie. land application, disposal into the Platte River, etc.). With additional information and by working with local and state health officials he can provide an estimated cost. Depending upon the complexity, the process could take 6-9 months. BFG (or representative) will need to work with the Weld County Health Department to obtain proper permitting. Additional information can be found in the Infrastructure section. c. Roadway Development: Approximately 1/2 mile of road will need to be built east off of WCR 19.5 to serve the property. The cost of this road is estimated to be $100,000 and will be covered by state CDBG grant dollars. This would provide a paved roadway 24' wide with two 4' wide shoulders built to county standards. Weld County would own and maintain the road. See Site Location section. d. Fire Protection: The sites are located within the service territory of the Platteville/ Gilcrest Fire District. Upon completion of your site plan documentation, the County will forward information on your project to the fire district and ask for comments. We are unaware of any development costs at this time. e. Water Development: The site is located within the Central Weld Water District. In order to meet your total anticipated load at buildout, an 8" water line will have to be extended approximately 2.5 miles at an estimated cost of $591,000. This capital improvement cost will be covered by state CDBG grant dollars. The purchase of a 4" water tap including 290 shares of Colorado Big Thompson raw water will also be required by BFG. Based on todays water market, the water district conservatively estimates the cost to be $800,000, which could be phased in over several years depending upon water usage. The usage of steam produced by PSCo. could also reduce the water demand which would reduce the number of water shares required. Water rates are extremely competitive at $.66/1000 gallons. Central Weld Water is not able to provide the 4,800 gpm water flow for emergency use. PSCo owns a day lined storage pond on site that can provide at least 15,000,000 gallons of reserve water. The reservoir is filled from the Platte River. This is available to provide an emergency backup water supply if necessary. However, the pond will need to be cleaned and pipe laid to the BFG facility, which is estimated to cost $963,000. There are no state/local funds to cover this cost if deemed necessary. The need for this emergency water flow can be eliminated by on-site back-up generation (600 HP) which can operate the water pumps. It is estimated that this would cost approximately $350,000. See Infrastructure section. , Executive Summary—Page 3 f. Steam Line Development: Steam can be provided to the new facility for approximately $3.50/mlb of steam. These costs may change once actual loads and pressures are known. This does not include the cost of piping the steam from Fort St. Vrain to the new facility or modifications to the plant. We estimate these costs to be between $130-$140/foot and have assumed that lines will need to be extended 2,500 ft. Based on these assumptions, steam line development cost is estimated to be $350,000. This cost will be covered by state CDBG grant dollars. Usage of this steam source would also reduce water consumption and ultimately reduce water tap fees. See Infrastructure section for additional information. g. Electric Service Development: Electricity can be supplied to the property. There are five major transmission lines connected to Fort St. Vrain and a sixth transmission line is planned for construction in the near future. The reliability of electric service should be excellent. PSCo will provide an allowance for constructing new electric facilities to the site. This allowance is determined by the rate selected— secondary or primary voltage service. Assuming BFG's electric load to be 2,500 kilowatts of billing demand, the construction allowance for secondary service would be $375,000 or $300,000 for primary service. Either allowance should cover all electric extension costs. Emergency back-up generation-600 HP can be provided as summarized under water development. See the Infrastructure section for additional information. The rate structure has been previously given by PSCo representatives. h. Natural Gas Service Development: The site is currently supplied gas from Wyoming by Colorado Interstate Gas. There are adequate supplies of gas to the intersection of WCR 19.5 and WCR 34. A construction allowance will be provided to construct gas pipelines to the new facility. Based on usage of 500,000 dekatherms, the allowance would be $100,000. The natural gas is not currently oxygenated and the supply has proven to be very reliable. By combining gas loads at this facility and the Pueblo facility the transportation charge is estimated at $.48 per mmbtu for service across CIG and PSCo systems. See the Infrastructure section for additional information. 3. TAXES a. Sales/Use Tax: Weld County does not charge a sales/use tax on equipment or construction materials. Therefore, only the 3% state sales will apply. By not assessing a county sales/use tax we have estimated a total savings to BFG of approximately $1.1 million. b. Property Tax/Waiver: All property is assessed for tax purposes at 29% of actual value. The mill levy for this location is extremely low at 75.268 mills. As allowed under Senate Bill 182, the school district and Weld County have the ability to waive up to 50% of the taxes due on new personal property (equipment) for up to 4 years. Executive Summary—Page 4 They can't waive taxes due on real property (building and land). We feel confident that both taxing jurisdictions will waive applicable taxes which we estimate to be $1,086,760 (Phase 1 & 2). See the Incentive Calculations section and Appendix for additional information. c. Enterprise Zone State Income Tax Credits: Eligible companies have the ability to earn a variety of state income tax credits based on qualified company investments in new equipment, job creation/training, health insurance benefits, etc. By getting the BFG project "grandfathered" under EZ legislation, we estimate BFG could earn approximately $1,648,480 in state income tax credits (Phase 1 & 2). See the Incentive Calculations section and Appendix for additional information. 4. LABORJTRAINING a. Working through Aims Community College and the state, Colorado First Customized Training grants will be available to help offset BFG training costs. We estimate that approximately $44,000 will be available through Phase 1 & 2. Additional grant dollars could be available as more jobs are created beyond Phase 2. See the state letter in the Incentive Calculations section. b. Weld County Human Resources is also available to assist BFG in a variety of ways such as: advertising available positions, taking job applications, screening applicants to BFG specifications, tracking affirmative action data on all applicants, etc. See Population/Labor Force section. � • INCENTIVE PACKAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 12/97 PHASE 1 The incentives summarized below are estimates based on the project parameters and are subject to final governmental approvals.

In order to proceed with additional development on this site an "adequate" sewage system will be needed. A septic system may not be adequate to meet the industrial intensity of the site. The Weld County Health Department will make the determination regarding the adequacy of a system. The adequacy of a system is based on engineering data which must be provided by the applicant. Frequently, these permits are time consuming, both at the local and state level. These permits must be in place prior to any land use approval. Additionally, I have notified Jeff Stoll of the Weld County Health Department of your request to discharge into the St. Vrain. In order to conduct this activity you do need to submit additional permits to Mr. Stoll and will, likely, need a discharge permit from the State. This permit, once again, relies upon detailed engineering and design computations. The land use process is not an exact science, and as such a great deal of responsibility rests with the applicant to ensure that the necessary state, and in this case, federal permits have been successfully completed and adhered to. The Weld County time line associated with local review for land use permits has been established based on the completion of the above permits, and should the applicant not be able to submit the required information a delay in processing will result.

I explained that in order to conduct these activities the following situations would have to occur. First,the existing USR-1063 would need to be amended to exclude the 40 acre parcel. After approval from the Planning Commission a site plan analysis would be required to entertain the 13 uses. Some of the concerns expressed at the meeting where that public water presently is served to the site, however, the sanitary sewer issues on the site present some problems. Presently the site is served by an individual package treatment facility and the new user to the 40 acre site has requested their on package treatment facility. I explained to those present that in order to conduct this activity the 208 permit may need to be amended and state approval would be needed. I than expressed that in my understanding, it will take a minimum of about six months to amend this permit. I recommended that Trevor Jiricek and Jeff Stoll with the Weld County Health Department be consulted. While discussing the possibility of converting this parcel to an 13 use, I distributed and explained the Site Plan Review application. I expressed a concern that the applicants need to incorporate the specific design requirements associated with 13 uses in their application. Ted Borst expressed some concerns regarding transportation requirements associated with these proposals. According to Mr. Borst,the existing St. Vrain Power Plant employed approximately one thousand people, but at the present time there are only about 40 people on the site. It was Mr. Borsts' opinion that the existing transportation would be sufficient to support the St. Vrain facility and the new proposed activity. I than recommended that Drew Scheltinga and Don Carroll review the situation. Because the PUD seems to be an activity that Public Service would like to enter into sometime in the near future, but not a the present time, this issue was not discussed in detail. I did distribute the existing PUD procedure guide and recommended that they look at the requirements.Once again, I expressed my concern about the sewer issues which would be required in conjunction with any future developments . Finally, I recommended that any future lines going into or out of the facility exceeding 69 vt's would need to be included in the amendment.

St Vrain Generating Station Dear Mr. Mogensen: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your request for information regarding the Ft. St. Vrain Generating Station. I have had the opportunity to review the files, and I find that a portion of your property is zoned 1-3 (Z-76). This, apparently, includes the area of your site you are proposing for development. By right you will be able to convey a forty acre parcel to the proposed seller which would meet both building and zoning requirements and will be considered a legal buildable parcel in the 1-3 zone district. .A site plan review will be necessary for this parcel to assure that the proposed uses will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the 1-3 District. As proposed, a reduction in size of the original parcel will be considered a substantial change to the existing USR (1063) permit and will necessitate the need to amend the existing USR. Several planners in the department have spoken to representatives from Public Service about extending an additional line into the facility. This would also be considered a substantial change to the existing USR permit and would require an amendment. Both of thi≥a.ectivities should be addressed in the same amendment. I have not reviewed the site application, so I am not able to comment on the sewage treatment at this time. Depending on this permit and the capacity listed an amendment may be needed here as well. A review of your permit should answer these questions. I have included procedural guides for the site plan and USR.Together,these two procedural guides should address "` your immediate need for developing one parcel. I will be more than happy to review these with you when you are ready to proceed. Future development of the site will probably most efficiently be handle through the PUD process.

As a result of that meeting we would like to review the activity on this property and request that you define the appropriate process to achieve our goal. A large manufacturer of airplane brakes is considering the construction of a new facility adjacent to our Generating Station. Because of the manufacturing process, it is necessary to locate the facility in an area that has reliable and somewhat redundant electric and gas supplies. The land requirement will be about 25 to 35 acres and employment will be about 76 people with a anticipated improvement cost of about $63 million. Our Ft. St. Vrain Generating Station has all of the above requirements and meets most of the company's needs, including properly zoned ( 1-3 ) land. Therefore, they have selected our property as one of two final locations, the other site is in Washington. The final site selection should be made around the first of November 1997 with the facility scheduled to be constructed in mid-1998 with an occupancy of late 1998. This is a very aggressive schedule. In order to accommodate this use on our property and to achieve this schedule, we are working with Mr. Bill Argo, Greeley/Weld EDAP, Inc. and we would like your assistance in determining what is the fastest and easiest way to get this company on our property. • • Please send us an outline, a time schedule and whatever additional information which will assist us in bringing a new and prosperous company to Public Service Co. and Weld County. In addition, Public Service Co. feels that there might be other possibilities to locate additional companies on our property who require being close to a Generating Station for utility services. Therefore, we are going to initiate a overall property site utilization study. We do not intend to have this process interfere with this request since such a study on 2,800 acres will probably take a year to complete. Any additional information you can give us will be greatly appreciated since this type planning / development effort is fairly new to us. Thank you for your time and assistance. We look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Sincerely, f Gary Mdgmnsen Sr. Real Estate Specialist cc: Marty Block Al Lucas • i DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING SERVICES W I C.

Department of Planning Services' staff reviewed your letter along with the case file for USR-1063 and determined that the meter building, control buiding, and odorant tank storage, as described in your letter, are covered by the application materials in case file USR-1063.

Saint Vrain Repower Project and Associated Pipeline Facilities (USR-1063) Dear Todd: Public Service Co. of Colorado (PSCo), per your request, hereby submits the following detailed information in support of the Building Permit Application submitted by Frank Evans on September 29, 1995 for the construction of the Ft. Saint Vrain Regulator/Meter Station. The proposed Regulator Station was included in the application for Special Use approved by the Weld County Commissioners in November 1994 concerning repowering of Ft. Saint Vrain Generating Station. The location and general size was identified along with a generic description of a valve set. At that time PSCo could not provide more detailed information due to the ongoing study (Natural Gas Release Model in regard to a pipeline rupture within the vicinity of the Ft. Saint Vrain Generating Station and the Intermediate Spent Fuel Storage Installation) being performed for the N.R.C. The location and design of the Regulator/Meter site reflect the requirements generated from the study which requires remote monitoring and shutdown capability and odorization of the 12" service line to the Generating Station as well as providing the basic components required to support the Generating Plant from startup through its final phase of development. All of the above reasons added to the complexity and size over a normal valve set or terminating point of a transmission pipeline and service extension. Listed below is a specific description of the equipment required and why it is needed. Meter Building The proposed meter building (20' x 24' 6" x 8' eave height) is necessary to house 6", 8" and 12"piping, valves, regulators, meter and associated flanges & fittings. These facilities are required to reduce mainline natural gas pressures from a maximum of 1200 psig to a delivery pressure of 400 psig. The Fort Saint Vrain combustion turbines require a minimum natural gas volume of 200,000 cfh to a maximum volume of 3,500,000 cfh. In order to efficiently supply correct volumes of natural gas, to the turbines, at a given delivery pressure these natural gas measurement and control facilities are a necessity. Odorant Tank Storage The mainline natural gas flowing through the 24"pipeline that will supply natural gas to the Fort Saint Vrain is unodorized, the natural gas is odorless, with no smell. The Department of Transportation (DOT) requires all service lines to be odorized for the purpose of leak detection and safety of the public. The odorant tank storage is therefore required to efficiently inject odorant into the natural gas stream flowing to the turbine generators. The quantity of storage (2,000 gallons) is required for the full capacity of natural gas volumes to supply the turbines for a period of one year. PSCo has determined that a one year supply of odorant is most efficient for operations, due to economics and the prevention of odor complaints. Control Building The proposed control building (8' x 8' x 8' eave height) skid mounted, is necessary to house the electronic control instrumentation associated with providing remote control capability from PSCo, Lookout Mountain Center. The computerized electronic equipment provides "State of the Art" real time control capability 24 hours a day. All buildings will be painted "Desert Tan" to match the existing facilities at Ft. Saint Vrain Generating Station. 2 PSCo submitted the building permit applications in compliance with the conditions of the Special Use permit granted by Weld County. PSCo concedes that the final design reflects more than what was anticipated during the review process in 1994, but the proposed plan still falls within the original intent of associated facilities required to supply Ft. Saint Vrain Generating Station. Very truly yours, Dan L. Tekavec, Lead Siting & Land Rights Agent Right-of-Way, Siting & Permits DLT/eh pc: N. Faes L. Seaman G. Vonesh, Jr. G. Schott F.
