The purpose of the project is to increase the north to south transfer capabilities of the regional transmission system and to reinforce the reliability of the existing system. The transmission project will consist of new 345 kV overhead transmission lines with taps at Ault to the Laramie River Station ("LRS") Substation near Wheatland, Wyoming, and the Substation near Ault, Colorado. A single line map is attached. An initial planning meeting and review of the technical and electrical engineering aspects of the transmission project done to date was held May 11, 2000, among NAPG, regional utilities and other interested parties. The project as proposed is technically feasible and provides an incremental increase in power transfer capability. Meetings among this technical group will continue to review the extensive computer modeling/analysis activities and to ensure that this interconnection project will not adversely impact WSCC electric utility members. This process also provides a potential opportunity for participating WSCC members to improve their transmission systems. The technical utility process will not determine the exact alignment of the electric transmission lines. We are inviting your participation in this process in identifying any existing corridors where the transmission project might be constructed between its interconnection points to minimize environmental impact and expedite permitting and approval. In particular, we would like you to provide us as thorough information as possible concerning: 1. Any existing and unused rights of way; 2. Right of ways with existing transmission lines, but with additional space to allow the construction of the proposed transmission line; and, 3. Existing transmission line right of ways adjacent to which the new transmission line could be built. 05/17/00 WED 08:42 FAX 303 773 0461 NAPG 1 003 Right of Way&Land Use May 12,2000 Page two Geographically referenced maps would be particularly helpful. Data in electronic format is also acceptable. The affected areas for which particular information is sought are as follows: Wyoming Campbell County, Crook County, Weston County, Converse County, Niobrara County, Platte County,Goshen County,Laramie County. Colorado Weld County,Morgan County,Adams County In order to ensure the timely selection of possible corridors or routes through which the transmission line would pass, we would appreciate you returning this information to us no later than May 30, 2000. Your prompt input will help ensure that any impact the routing of the project may have will be minimized and the property within the affected areas put to the most efficient use. Thank you for your time and consideration in this important matter. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me or Mr.Art Wardlaw at the number set forth above.
