These routes are the corridor preferred by the applicant. The Planning Commission concurs with the conclusions reached by the applicant as identified in the Report on the Weld County, Colorado Portion of the LAR MIE RIVER-AULT 345 ! V TRIXSMISSION LIME as to why this is the best selection of the three alternative corridors. In the opinion of the Planning Commission, this corridor will : a.

SUP-392 : 79 : 14 PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENATION June 19, 1979 Responses from the various referral entities have indicated the following: 1 . The Colorado Geological Survey has recommended that soils investigations be conducted for the proposed generating facilities and transmission line towers prior to construction to determine proper foundation design criteria. 2. The West Greeley Soil Conservation District has recommended that the transmission line be routed to minimize adverse effects to the cropland areas. In their opinion, the Entry Route and the east route corridor seem to provide the least impact as these areas already have major conveyance easements present. 3. The Division of Wildlife has indicated that the preferred routing would be the best corridor to prevent problems with waterfowl which would develop if it were placed farther to the west or closer to Black Hollow Reservoir. They have also indicated there will be some problems with antelope movement for a period of three to five years after the line is constructed, as they refuse to move back and forth under a newly constructed line for about that period of time. 4 . The U. S.D.A. Forest Service has reviewed the request and found no conflicts with its interests. 5. The Weld County Engineering Department has set forth no objections to the request provided the applicant complies with the conditions as outlined in its memorandum dated May 30, 1979 . These items are addressed in the attached Development Standards. The Planning Commission recommendation for approval is conditional upon: 1. The attached Development Standards being approved for the request. 2 . Subsequent to Board of County Commissioners route approval, the route locations will be submitted on a 24" x 36" mylar. The document shall also include certification to be completed by the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and a Certificate of Responsibility to be completed by the applicant. The standards and limitations approved by the Board of County Commissioners shall be affixed to the document. Upon completion of the document and signatures, the document shall be filed with the Weld County Clerk and Recorder. • Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS 1.

NE4i Section 26, T8N, R65W LOCATION: Approximately 61/2 miles east of Pierce APPEARANCE: Ken Lind, attorney DISCUSSION: Mr. Lind stated that Mr. Raven is the landowner and was approached by Ault Aerial Applicators , Inc. who is involved with agricultural spraying operations , seeding, and fertilizing. An agreement has been worked out between them whereby the landing strip will be used ti `Planning Conulllssic Minutes Page 2 June 19, 1979 for intermittent field crop dusting, fertilizer application and seeding. Only one plane will be used in the operation and will operate mainly in the spring months . There are no plans for any buildings on the site.

Motion carried. rAPPLICANT : Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. \ 1 CASE NUMBER: SUP-392 :79 :14 SUBJECT : Electric Transmission Line LOCATION: 30 miles long from northwest of Ault north to the Colorado-Wyoming Line APPEARANCE: Frank Niesen, Jim Ellis DISCUSSION: Chairman Carlson first asked Lee Morrison to explain the County' s situation in regard to this type of application. Mr. Morriso ' explained that it is the opinion of the County Attorney' s office that n l under the current regulations the County has no authority to prohibit i a transmission line. The ultimate authority for allowing a transmission line lies at the State level and the County cannot completely stop the line from passing to the required points . Jim Ellis then gave the details of the need for power and why the lines are being built. This request is for the construction, replacement and maintenance of a 345 kV electrical transmission line for power from the Laramie River Generating Station to the Ault Substation. He stated that the trans- mission line will be of benefit to the transmission system as a whole ' in Colorado and Wyoming and also to Weld County consumers. Mr. Niesen then went into a great amount of detail bringing the Planning Commission up-to-date regarding when the project was first begun approximately nine years ago and the various permits and approvals that are required, etc. up to the present time. He also explained how the different routes were chosen and the possible effects on agriculture, the impact on vegetation, wildlife, economy of the area, human activity, noise, radio-TV interference, etc. A condensed series of video tape of one hour flying time of the various routes were then shown which showed the various land uses and agricultural ground. Tom Honn then read the staff' s recommendation for the Center Route, Entry Route, and 6. 5 miles of the Substation Approach Route and the Development Standards. The Chairman then asked if anyone in the audience would like to make any comments regarding the application. At this time Norm Brown stated that he just wants them to make the best possible decision because wherever it ends up going it will involve him as he lives near the Ault Substation. Lois Jones stated that she had never been contacted at all regarding the request. Vernon Biamonte and Leo Scherrer also expressed concern regarding their property. General discussion followed. Planning Commission -"'_nutes 1age 3 June 19, 1979 MOTION: -. Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval with the Development Standards based on the staff' s recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners . Motion by Percy Hiatt, seconded by Bette Kountz. A vote of "aye" was cast by Percy Hiatt, Ben Nix, lima White, Bette Kountz, and Chuck Carlson. A vote of "no" was cast by Jim Gilbert. Motion carried. SUBJECT: Consider a recommendation on proposed amendments to the Weld County Zoning Resolution which will clarify the duties and responsibilities of the Department of Planning Services , the Planning Commission, and the Board of County Commissioners in actions concerning amendments to the map of the Zoning Resolution DISCUSSION: Thom Rounds , Planner for the Planning Department, stated that this was adopted on June 23 by the Planning Commission. During the time that it was recommended to the Board of County Commissioners and actual action taken by them, the Department of Planning Services staff went back through the Amendment section and found some items that they feel needed to be changed, but these changes were not able to be made at the time of the Board of County Commissioners action. There were some language in the Statute that they were not comfortable with. The best way was to come before the Planning Commission and recommend additional amendments . He then briefly explained the recommended changes . One change was recommending that mineral rights owners as well as surface owners of land be notified of any proposed change of zone on the property. A great deal of discussion followed regarding this. Several members of the Planning Commission were opposed to this notification of mineral rights holders . MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to table the request until such time as the Board of County Commissioners make a positive step in the area of taxaction of severed mineral rights to the next regular Planning Commission meeting. Motion by Jim Gilbert, seconded by Ben Nix. A vote of "aye" was cast by Percy Hiatt, Ben Nix, Jim Gilbert, Irma White, Bette Kountz, and Chuck Carlson. Motion carried. SUBJECT: Consider a recommendation on the repeal of Section 4. 5(3) of the Weld County Zoning Resolution which requires the annual renewal of sign permits in June of each year DISCUSSION: Gary Fortner, Director of Planning, read Section 4. 5(3) of the Weld County Zoning Resolution regarding the general sign requirements and their annual renewal. The staff is recommending that this be deleted from the Zoning Resolution because the Planning Staff has no basis for requesting the renewal of signs and paying a fee on an annual basis . General discussion followed. MOTION: Be it therefore resolved to recommend approval to the Board of County Commissioners based on the staff' s recommendation. Motion by Irma White, seconded by Bette Kountz. A vote of "aye" was cast by Percy Hiatt, Ben Nix, Irma White, Bette Kountz, and Chuck Carlson. A vote of "no" was cast by Jim Gilbert. Motion carried.

All 3 routes passed through areas of dryland agriculture or rangeland. The Preferred Route appeared to impact few residences (5) except for the Town of Carr . The Western alternative appears to impact a similar amount of residences (6) except that it bypasses the Town of Carr and will therefore have less impact on residents of the Town. The far eastern alternative follows the railroad tracks south. This alternative appears to impact more residences (10) and passes within a mile of the Town of Nunn .

To meet the immediate and long-range power demands of Northeast Colorado, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. , must construct a 345 kV transmission line to bring electricity from the Laramie River Generating Station to the Ault Substation. At that point, power will be transferred to the local power system and transmitted by interconnected lines to the various REAs serving your area. After extensive environmental analysis , engineering and routing studies , Tri-State believes the most feasible trans- mission line corridor through Weld County is the Center Routing shown on Exhibit 3 of this report. Tri-State has selected this specific route after careful consideration of land use, - environmental, aesthetic and design aspects in an attempt to balance cost-engineering against minimal land disturbance. As you are aware, Weld County' s approval of the study corridor would not lessen Tri-State ' s responsibility to conduct good faith negotiations with the individual landowners for rights-of-way during the survey and easement process . We are committed to doing the best possible job of responding • to the ultimate consumers ' needs. It is our belief that you will find the enclosed materials complete and comprehensive. However, should you desire additional input or supplemental documentation, feel free to contact our office at your convenience. Twenty-five copies of the report are transmitted for review. Copies of the Burns & McDonnell Environmental "AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER" Weld County Commissioners -2- April 30 , 1979 Report and Supplement have previously been given to Mr. Tom Honn of the Weld County Planning Department. Yours truly, John E. - Pope Design and Construction Division Manager Enclosures Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. , is a non-profit, cooperative wholesale power supplier serving 25 Member cooperatives in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska. Our Members, whose combined service areas encompass over 125 ,000 square miles, are electric distribution cooperatives and public power districts providing electrical power primarily to farms and ranches, small businesses , a few industries and small communities. Tri-State' s purpose is to provide dependable electrical service at the lowest possible cost. Supplying power to our Members is a complex task involving large amounts of elec- trical power and constant fluctuations in demand and use. Consequently, Tri-State maintains cooperative efforts with publicly and privately owned utilities in order that power resources be used efficiently and economically. Toward this end, Tri-State is participating in the Laramie River Generating Station project in Wheatland, Wyoming. When completed and in service, this station will serve Tri-State and other affiliates in the Missouri Basin. A portion of the generation from the Laramie River Station will provide power to the northeastern Colorado area, including Weld County. Thus, Tri-State is taking the necessary planning steps to provide eastern Colorado rural consumers with adequate, reliable and economical electrical energy for years to come. -1- Members of Tri-State' s Board of Directors are farmers, ranchers and rural electric systems managers involved in agriculture and concerned with the present and future needs of the rural consumers in the Tri-State service area. The Board is dedicated to the goals and philosophy of the coop- erative rural electric program. Board of Directors Authorization Authority to proceed with land acquisition and construc- tion was granted to Tri-State' s General Manager by the Tri-State Board of Directors at a meeting held on February 27 and 28, 1979. The specific authority is granted by the following resolution adopted at that meeting: WHEREAS, TRI-STATE GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION ASSOCIATION, INC. , (Tri-State) , is a Colorado corporation engaged primarily in the generation arid transmission of wholesale electric power to 21 electric distribution cooperatives and four public power districts located in Colorado, Wyoming, and Nebraska; and WHEREAS, Tri-State is a public utility as defined by Colorado law and is required, prior to construction of generation and transmission facilities in Colorado, to obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Colorado Wyoming Utilities Commission authorizing construction of such facilities; and WHEREAS, Tri-State is empowered under Title 38 , Article 5 of the Colorado Statutes, (1973, as amended) , to exercise the right of eminent domain, which right it must exercise from time to time to obtain the necessary rights-of-way for its transmission facilities. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of TRI-STATE GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION ASSOCIATION, INC. , -2- that the General Manager be, and hereby is, authorized to take any and all lawful actions under the laws of the State of Colorado as may be necessary to obtain the required right-of-way for transmission facility construction in the State of Colorado. Purpose of the Project The 345 kV transmission line proposed for construction in Weld County is the southern portion of a longer line referred to as the Laramie River-Ault Transmission Line. The primary purpose of this line is to deliver power output from the Laramie River Generating Station. The Laramie River-Ault line is one of six lines required to deliver a total of 1500 megawatts of generation from the plant by 1982 , trans- mitting power into the present transmission network. The Laramie River-Ault line is 110 miles long, with approximately 80 miles located in Wyoming and 30.0 miles in Weld County, Colorado. Four of the other lines do not cross into Colorado. The third line, Laramie River-Archer-Story, was approved by the Weld County Commissioners at a hearing, August 24 , 1977. In order to coincide with the completion of Unit No. 3 at the Laramie River Generating Station, the Laramie River-Ault line must be constructed by September, 1981. We anticipate that construction of the Weld County portion of the line will begin in June, 1980. -3- This proposed line is an integral part of the total electric transmission system required to transmit power from the Laramie River plant to areas where the power can be utilized. From the Ault Substation, the power can be distributed over interconnected lines, meeting load, stability and reliability requirements in Weld County and much of northeastern Colorado. The Laramie River-Ault line will provide vastly improved service reliability for Weld County, where future loads could create power deficits, and will also permit a strong interconnection with other electric power suppliers in the event of power outages or service disruptions . Entry Route The Entry corridor will enter the North Center 1/4 , Section 20, T 12N, R 67W, then proceed in a Southeasterly direction for approximately 2 miles. This line will go through Sections 20, 21, and 28 , to an angle point at approxi- mately the East 1/4 corner of Section 28 . Then the corridor will turn to a Southerly direction along the section line between Sections 27 and 28 , and Sections 33 and 34 to the Southerly line of T 12N. Then the corridor will enter T 11N, R 67W near the section line between Sections 3 and 4 and continue Southerly along the line between Sections 9 and 10. -4- West Route \\\\ The West corridor begins at the SW corner of .Section 10 , T 11N, R 67W, then runs in a Southwesterly direction to a point near the NW corner of Section 28 . Then the corridor continues in a Southerly direction along the section line between Sections 28 and 29 , continuing Southerly between Sections 32 and 33 to the South line of T 11N. Then the corridor continues Southerly through T 10N, R 67W, along the section lines between Section 4 and 5, 8 and 9 , 16 and 17 , 20 and 21, 28 and 29 , and 32 and 33 to the Southerly line of T 10N. The corridor then continues through T 9N, R 67W, between Sections 4 and 5, 8 and 9 , 16 and 17, 20 and 21, 28 and 29, and 32 and 33 to the Southerly line of T 9N. Then the corridor continues Southerly into T 8N, R 67W, for approximately 1 mile between Sections 4 and 5 to a point near the SW corner of Section 4 , where it would connect with the Substation Approach corridor. Center Route The Center corridor would begin at the SW corner of Section 10, T 11N, R 67W. This corridor would continue south along the section lines between Sections 15 and 16, 21 and 22, 27 and 28 , and 33 and 34 to the south line of T 11N. The corridor would then continue south through T 10N, R 67W, along the line between Sections 3 and 4 , 1 -5- 1L 9 and 10, 15 and 16, 21 and 22, 27 and 28, and 33 and 34 to the South line of T 10N, R 67W. The corridor would then continue south through T 9N, R 67W, along the line between Sections 3 and 4 , 9 and 10 , 15 and 16 , 21 and 22 , 27 and 28 , _ 33 and 34, to the South line of T 9N. Then the corridor would enter into T 8N, R 67W, continuing Southerly between Sections 3 and 4 , and 9 and 10. The line would then meet the Substation Approach corridor near the SE corner of Section 9 , T 8N, R 67W. East Route The East corridor would begin at the SW corner of Section 10 , T 11N, R 67W, then go in a Southeasterly direction for approximately 3 miles through Section 15, 14 and Section 23 to a point near the SE corner of Section 23 , T 11N. Then the corridor would turn to a Southwesterly direction for ti about 2 miles through Sections 26 and 35 to a point where it would meet the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way in the . SW1/4 of Section 35. The corridor then turns and follows -i1 the railroad in a Southeasterly direction for approximately 7-1/2 miles going through Section 35, T 11N, R 67W, then into T 10N, R 67W, where it would traverse through Sections 2 , 11, 12, 13, 24 and 25. It would then go into T 10N, R 66W, ,J into Sections 30 and 31. It would then go into T 9N, R 66W, ti in Section 6 to a point near the East 1/4 corner of Section 6 , u -6- 18-inch separation. The overhead_ ground wires will be stranded cables known as 7 #8 "Alumoweld, " consisting of 7 aluminum-clad steel strands twisted together. Structures for this line will be latticed steel towers , as shown in Exhibit 2, mounted on four concrete footings of 15 to 20 feet appropriate depth for specific tower height and soil conditions. Structure heights will average 100 feet, and the tower bases will be approximately 30 feet square. Towers will be spaced approximately 1050 feet apart, requiring five or six structures per mile.1/ Tower heights and span lengths will vary with the topography, the heights of existing power and telephone lines , and the road or railroad crossings. The minimum ground clearance at 167 degrees Fahrenheit will be approximately 30 feet. Clearance of roads, railroads, power and telephone lines and other specific objects will comply with the National Electric Safety Code. The following table outlines minimum clearance recommendations for natural and man-made features which may be crossed by the proposed line. 1/ Burns & McDonnell, Report on the Environmental Analysis for the Electric Transmission Facilities of the Missouri Basin Power Project, August 22 , 1975, P. 58 . -9- Table 1a/ Recommended Minimum Vertical Clearances for 345 kV lines Crossing Type Clearance in Feet Railroad Tracks 40 Public Streets and Highways 33 Pedestrian Areas 30 Cultivated Fields 30 Rural Roads 30 Overhead Communication Lines 15 Overhead 50 kV Supply Lines 13 Clearances are considered minimum clearance at 167°F conductor temperature. Governmental Approvals The Public Utilities Commission for the State of Colorado granted Tri-State a finalized Certificate of Convenience and Necessity on February 28 , 1978 (Decision No. C78-254) , thus finding that the Weld County portion of the Laramie River- Ault 345 kV project is necessary to adequately serve Tri-State' s Eastern Colorado consumers. Attached thereto was the statement and finding of fact upon which the decision was rendered.

The above-cited decision is included as Exhibit 5. The Public Service Commission of Wyoming granted Tri-State a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity on June 24 , 1976 for construction of the Wyoming portion of the Laramie River-Ault Transmission Line, thus finding that the project is necessary to adequately serve Tri-State' s consumer power needs. The Public Service Commission of Wyoming granted Tri-State Environmental Authority for the Wyoming portion of construc- tion of the Laramie River Station to Ault Transmission Line on May 26 , 1977 . The above-cited decision is included as Exhibit 6 . The Report on the Environmental Analysis for the Electric Transmission Facilities of the Missouri Basin Power Project, Volume II and Supplement thereto dated September 20, 1978 , -11- both prepared by Burns & McDonnell, Inc. of Kansas City, Missouri, have been submitted to the U. S . Department of Agriculture - Rural Electrification Administration. Pursuant to Federal Law, advertisement has been made in the Federal Register and interested parties were invited to make their views known to the REA. The period for comments expired April 14 , 1979 . Tri-State has not been made aware of any adverse comments or the filing of litigation relating to the proposed Laramie River Station-Ault 345 kV Transmission Line. The above-cited Notice and Conclusion is included as Exhibit 7. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS A. Environmental Analysis The Weld County transmission line corridor, referred to in this report as the Entry Route-East Route, was considered the Preferred Route in the original Burns & McDonnell Environmental Analysis (Volume II) . The corridor originally considered as the Alternate Route extends due South from the Archer Substation, located East of Cheyenne, to the Ault Substation. This alternate corridor would only have been considered if the State of Wyoming had required a routing through the Archer Substation. After further analysis , Burns & McDonnell determined that there would be less agri- cultural impact and improved system reliability if the -12- corridors were shifted 4 to 5 miles west of the original Preferred Corridor. Routing the proposed line via either the Center or West Corridor would avoid possible conflict with existing power lines, an oil pipeline and railroad tracks.3/ These routes will also prevent the line from passing in close proximity to a 600-foot radio tower and a private airfield. Burns & McDonnell reached the following conclusions regarding this transmission line routing: " (1) The selected Laramie River Station-Ault and Laramie River Station-Archer-Story line routes are environmentally suitable and present no significant engineering problems. (2) Many of the places where line routes leave the corridors discussed in the EIS represent responses to landowner comments and requests. (3) Due to the homogeneity of the region, the environ- mental features encountered have been addressed in the EIS. (4) The changes made in line routes have either lessened the impact on human activities and the environment or caused no appreciable change. (5) Where state, county or regional agencies have authority to regulate or advise with regard to transmission line routing, the involved agencies have approved the selected line routes . "4/ Field investigation by Tri-State personnel and personnel for design consultants confirm these conclusions . Where the 3/ Burns & McDonnell, Supplement to the Report on the Environmental Analysis for the Electric Transmission Facilities of the Missouri Basin Power Project Ault Line, Archer Line & Archer-Story Line, Sept. 20 , 1978 , P. 40. 4/ Burns & McDonnell, Supplemental Report, supra, P. 42. -13- transmission line will be built in proximity to houses, a line routing will be selected, within the corridor, with due consideration given to minimizing the visual impact on homeowners. Owners of agricultural land will be contacted to determine their future land use plans and every effort will be made by Tri-State to accommodate them by placing structures to reasonably minimize the impact on future irrigation systems , land use and farming practices . B. Environmental Impact of the Proposed Project The design, clearing, construction and maintenance of the proposed line and the cleanup and restoration of the area will follow applicable criteria described by the U. S. Department of the Interior (USDI) in their publication "Environmental Criteria for Electric Transmission Systems. " Tri-State will also comply with applicable recommendations set forth in "Environmental Guidelines , " published by the Western Systems Coordinating Council (WSCC) , of which Tri-State is a member. B.1. Impact on Soils The proposed facilities will be constructed in a manner that will minimize the possibility of soil erosion. Existing roads along the proposed route will be used whenever possible during line construction and maintenance, reducing the need for new access road construction. By its contractual specifi- cations, Tri-State requires its contractor to limit unnecessary -14- • travel up and down the right-of-way during construction. In places where highly erodible soils are present, special care will be used in traversing them, and these areas will be by-passed whenever feasible. This will minimize damage to soil and the accompanying vegetation. Where agricultural land is crossed during construction, care will be taken to avoid rutting or other damage in order to prevent wind or water erosion and interference with usual agricultural activities . Should rutting occur during construction, the contractor will fill the ruts before he leaves the area. If soil disturbance occurs, reseeding will be done to speed resto- ration and prevent erosion if natural vegetation is not sufficient. Should reseeding or restoration be required, Tri-State will seek the advice of the Soil Conservation Service. All lay-down areas used in construction and all borrow areas used for backfill will be restored. No herbicide which appears on the USDI ' s list of prohi- bited pesticides will be used. Where USDI-approved herbicides are used, extreme care will be taken to avoid contamination of surface area and subsurface water supplies. In periods of inclement weather, Tri-State will work closely with the contractor to revise scheduling in order to prevent severe rutting caused by moving vehicles and equipment across the land. -15- B. 2. Impact on Vegetation While efforts were made to route the proposed corridor away from areas with trees , there are locations where some trees may have to be removed from the right-of-way to meet safety and operational requirements. Tree removal will be held to an absolute minimum, and will be done in a manner consistent with USDI and WSCC recommendations . No rare or endangered flora species are known to exist along the proposed line route. There are no wilderness areas in the vicinity of the preferred corridor. B. 3. Impact on Wildlife Generally, mammal species will avoid human activities and may temporarily relocate during construction: Upon project completion, these animals should return to their usual habitats , which will be left unimpaired. Tri-State is aware of the concern about possible impacts of power lines on eagles and other large, predatory birds . Colorado has some of the highest nesting and wintering populations of golden eagles in the United States. The two major impacts of electric power lines to avifauna are electro- cution and collision mortalities. (Note: The golden eagle is on the federal list of protected species because it is nearly indistinguishable from a young bald eagle. The bald eagle is classified as an endangered species . ) -16- • Eagles and other raptors generally seek the highest point in an area from which to scan the terrain for prey. In the open, agricultural areas crossed by the proposed line, a power line structure may be the highest perching point. It is Tri-State' s understanding that power lines under which electrocuted eagle carcasses have been found are lines without overhead ground wires or those with conductors close enough together that a raptor can contact two energized parts simultaneously. There is little or no potential for raptor electrocution on the proposed line. The unenergized ground wire will be the uppermost wire and, therefore, the most likely perch for birds. The energized conductors, below the neutral wire, will be spaced far enough apart to minimize the chance of simultaneous contact. Collision mortality is not expected to be a significant problem with the proposed line. The conductors will be large enough that birds are more likely to see them and, therefore, less likely to collide with the overhead wires. The blackfooted ferret, an endangered species , has not been sighted in the project area and is considered extremely rare. In areas where it is known to occur, it is found in close proximity to prairie dogs, its natural prey. Any large prairie dog towns which may be encountered in the proposed corridor will be avoided when tower locations are determined. -17- No rare, protected or endangered species will be adversely affected by the proposed project. B.4 . Impact on Aesthetics • Building a transmission line in any area necessarily results in some visual or aesthetic impact. Such impact is an important environmental factor in Tri-State's transmission line planning. Several steps have been taken in efforts to minimize the visual intrusion of the proposed line: 1. The proposed corridor avoids urban areas in Weld County. 2. Where feasible, the line will be routed through existing corridors. 3. The corridor avoids high elevations. in order to decrease the visibility of the line. 4 . The line will cross Interstate 25 at a right angle so as to be the least visible to the travelling public. 5. Structures compatible with the landscape will be selected. B. 5 . Impact on Water Resources The proposed project will not adversely affect water quality or water resources. No major rivers or reservoirs are crossed by the line in Weld County. No soil erosion into irrigation reservoirs or ditches is anticipated. -18- B.6 . Impact on Classified Areas The proposed project will have no impact on formally classified areas. The corridor does not cross the Pawnee National Grasslands. There are no known archaeological sites in the area. Should any artifacts, burial sites or other manifestations of an earlier culture be discovered during construction, the proper authorities will be notified immediately. B. 7 . Impact of Maintenance Practices It is possible that maintenance work will be needed during inclement weather. This is a time when the soil and vegetation are more susceptible to damage. If damage should occur to-an area due to maintenance work, the affected area will be restored and revegetated. The recommendations of the Bureau of Land Management and the Soil Conservation Service will be followed for the restoration. B. 8 . Impact on Aviation The transmission line and facilities will not interfere with navigable airspace. The East Route passes within 3,000 feet of Bellmore Farms Airport, a private landing strip. However, the line route is not expected to pose any problems to air traffic. Tri-State will send the line route maps and file Form No. 7460-1 with the Federal Aviation Administration. -19- B.9 . Impact on Human Activity Except for small land areas to be taken up by the structures along the proposed line, the project will not interfere with normal human activity in the area. Land in the right-of-way will be available for agricultural use, as in the past. • B.10. Impact on the Economy of the Area The land to be crossed by the proposed transmission line is primarily agricultural. During the estimated six- month construction period for each line section, there will be some disruption of agricultural activity directly in the right-of-way. After construction, the completed line will have little impact on the agricultural use of the land in the right-of-way. Aside from the expenditure of the estimated capital cost of the line (for planning, design, equipment, acquiring rights-of-way, and construction) , the major economic impact of the proposed line will be long-range. That is, the proposed line will enable Tri-State to provide adequate and reliable electric service to its consumers in the area. This, in turn, means that the electricity needed by agri- cultural, commercial and industrial enterprises, as well as by residential consumers, will be available to sustain the projected population growth and development of Weld County. -20- B.11. Noise, Radio-TV Interference, Grounding The proposed transmission line will not create a noise pollution problem. Noise and radio-TV interference is a function of proximity to the transmission line, signal strength of the broadcast at the receiver, and weather conditions. Transmission line audible noise is mostly a foul-weather phenomenon and the highest levels are usually obtained in heavy rain or snow. To some extent, interference is also related to transmission line voltage. With this in mind, a reasonable distance between the line and existing dwellings will be maintained. Proper conductor sizing and bonding to control electric field strengths and careful stringing of the conductors during construction to minimize surface marring will make interference with radio and television reception in the area highly unlikely. However, should the line cause any radio and television interference, Tri-State will analyse and eliminate the problem. Tri-State anticipates no problems of induced voltages in pipelines, metal fences, etc. Alternating current lines, such as the proposed line, normally have no corrosive effect on underground or surface pipeline. Induced voltage into fences has not been a problem under Tri-State lines. However, Tri-State will investigate the need for grounding fences that are near and parallel to -21- the transmission line. Where the need is indicated, grounding will be installed. C. Effects on Humans and Animals Area residents have a vested and keen interest in determining the possible physical effects of a 345 kV transmission line upon themselves, their families, their homes and their livestock. The experience of the power industry is that there is no harmful effect_ upon humans or animals living in close proximity to high voltage lines. . .the overwhelming body of scientific evidence indicates that electric and magnetic fields associated with high voltage transmission lines have no deleterious biological effects. " / Specific questions which are often raised by local residents regarding the effects of a power line on humans , animals and farm operations are answered in the December 7 , 1978 letters of Mr. Merle Poland, Professional Engineer, and are included as Exhibit 8. The Laramie River Generating Plant is located almost one hundred miles from the Weld County area. The plant is designed and constructed to meet all applicable federal and state environmental controls and safeguards to prevent possible pollution. As such, the generating plant poses no environmental danger to the Weld County area. 5/ Environment, Vol. 20 , No. 1, P. 33 . -22- D. Unavoidable Adverse Environmental Effects The great majority of all adverse environmental effects resulting from construction and operation of the proposed facilities are localized, short-term in duration and of a minor nature. The single lasting effect is that of a visual impact throughout the affected area. Short-term effects can include such items as disturbance of farming activities during construction, increased erosion and stream silting resulting from soil compaction by construc- tion machinery, and displacement of wildlife from their natural habitats during construction. The clearing of naturally occurring trees and undergrowth is a longer-term unavoidable effect that was discussed earlier in.this report. All of the short-term effects have been previously discussed in the Burns & McDonnell Environmental Reports. There are no lasting or long-range effects of any significance from the proposed construction activities except the aesthetic impact. The visual intrusion of the transmission line and substation facilities will last for many years . This impact can detract from the scenic quality and value of this area. The visual impact is the only significant impact occurring from construction and operation of the line, and every reasonable effort will be made to minimize the visual and aesthetic impact. -23- Transmission line environmental guidelines as set forth by the United States Department of the Interior, Department of Agriculture and the Western Systems Coordinating Council will be followed. Maintenance requirements on a working transmission line are minimal. All components are designed, constructed and installed to facilitate a maintenance-free operation. However, because adjustments and repairs are occasionally required, access to the structures must be provided. Since the use of a roadway to any of these structures is infrequent and unscheduled, maximum use will be made of existing field roads and fenceline roads. In locations where access is not available, the minimum clearing required for vehicle passage will be done. ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS This section is devoted to an input of additional materials made available to Tri-State through various sources. Also discussed are the basic right-of-way considerations regarding easement acquisition. In addition, parts of the following material reflect several meetings between Tri-State personnel and the Weld County Planning Commission staff. In relation to planning for the 345 kV routes, Tri-State has been guided by several motivating factors. Primary among these were environmental considerations. Therefore, -24- although an adequate environmental analysis has already been prepared and submitted to appropriate governmental agencies, Tri-State has continued to contact individuals and agencies for further refinement of the environmental analysis. The following are additional considerations that were relevant to our planning process. Crop Dusting Tri-State has been concerned about the effects of transmission lines on aerial crop-dusting applications. As early as 1972, Tri-State attempted to establish a rapport between drop dusters and Tri-State engineers. Later in 1975 Tri-State contracted for an impact analysis of the inherent hazards of agricultural spraying by air near power lines and, where possible, to provide recommendations for design improvements to minimize these hazards.6/ In pursuit of this task, licensed agricultural applicators in Colorado, Kansas , Wyoming, Nebraska, North and South Dakota, and Montana were interviewed. Federal Aviation Administration officials were also contacted. The following is the summary of the results of this study: Aerial Agriculture Applicators usually referred to as "Crop Dusters" were contacted in representative areas of Wyoming, Nebraska, and Colorado served by Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. 6/ C. L. Brooks, Aerial Agricultural Applications vs . Power Transmission Lines, November, 1975. -25- Other applicators were visited in Kansas , North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and eastern Nebraska in order to compare comments, concerns, and gather recommendations. All of the applicators appeared flattered that a utility would show concern and interest in their operations. When it was explained that preliminary design and location were a concern of the planning and engineering departments, and the concerns of the applicators would be considered, full cooperation was the rule rather than the exception. Every applicator strongly recommended that power transmission lines be placed underground, as did the FAA. After an explanation of the extra costs involved, etc. , all concerned accepted above-ground placement. Applicators usually work in the very early morning or late evening. Winds in excess of 4 mph and high daytime ambient temperatures are unfavorable to reliable applications; therefore, thermal expansion of the lines is not of concern. Applicators recommend that lines remain high, and where possible follow property lines. If multiple transmission systems are involved, they should be grouped together clear of agricultural areas or be separated by at least 2,500 feet, if crossing cultivated areas subject to spray operations. Minimum heights are of concern to provide safe operations beneath the lines. Aerial Agricultural Applicators fly in compliance with Part 37 of the Federal Air Regulations. Throughout an applicator' s operations, safety of flight, safe chemical application, and regard for the rights and property of others is paramount. Power lines and transmission systems are no exception. As a result of these discussions, the following recommendations are offered to be considered in the design, placement, engineering, and planning of transmission lines : (1) Consider underground systems where economically feasible. (2) Place above-ground systems far away from agricultural lands subject to aerial applications. -26- (3) Place systems parallel and adjacent to the longest sides of those agricultural areas subject to aerial applications. (4) Group multiple systems wherever possible, or separate by a minimum of 2,500 feet to permit aerial applications between systems. (5) Raise lines to the maximum extent possible. A minimum of 30 feet at the maximum droop point would be desirable to permit safe flight under the lines. (6) When undesirable design considerations exist, a review with the property owners and affected aerial applicators is strongly recommended. A little communication of a utility' s concern may make an undesirable situation acceptable in the eyes of the inconvenienced. In addition to the preceeding impact analysis, Tri-State continues to contact local firms to better coordinate line- siting and crop dusting operations. The following interview with a LaSalle, Colorado firm examines some of the issues Tri-State regards as important, and characterizes our search for a harmonious balance between crop dusters and power line placement.1/ . Q: How close to the ground is the plane when spraying crops? A: Three feet to four feet. Q: Is it possible to direct the spray of the dusting material? If so, to what degree? A: No. Q: Is it, then, possible to fly parallel to a trans- mission line and spray underneath the line? 7/ Interview with Loren Kent of Low Level Dusting Company, Inc. , LaSalle, Colorado, 1975. -27- A: To an extent--that is, if there is room to fly underneath the lines and if the wind is blowing in the appropriate direction. Q: How do you determine your fees when asked to dust a field? A: By the amount of and kind of chemical or seeds to be used. Q: Would a transmission line present on the property affect your fee? A: No. Not currently. Q: Do you consider transmission lines dangerous to crop dusting? A: No. Q: Have you ever heard of anyone being injured or killed by an electric line while crop dusting? If so, who? Do you believe it was pilot error that caused the injury or death? A: No, not in this area. Methodology and Easement Acquisition One continuing area of concern that most landowners express when dealing with Tri-State is our methodology of easement acquisition. This concern surfaces when easement negotiations take place. This section discusses Tri-State ' s methodology in relation to this matter. Also, attached as Exhibit 9 is a copy of Tri-State' s present Easement Form. Tri-State will utilize the following guidelines in acquiring easements for the Laramie River-Ault line through Weld County: 1. All easements will be purchased utilizing a formula that is roughly equivalent to 100% of fee value. -28- 2. The easement will be a uniform width of 180 feet (90 feet from the centerline of the corridors in either direction) throughout the route. 3 . In compliance with the National Electric Safety Code, the landowner will not be permitted to build or maintain structures, hay stacks, trees, or other similar obstructions within the right-of-way area. The landowner may use the land for all other purposes including farming, grazing, etc. 4 . Tri-State will build and maintain standard gates along the line route for construction and maintenance of the line. It should be mentioned that surveil- • lance of the line will be done by air. Therefore, land compaction and soil erosion from maintenance efforts will be minimal at most. 5. The grantor will retain all mineral rights to the property. 6. Tri-State will pay the landowner for all damages caused by the surveying, construction, and mainte- nance of the line. This payment is not included within the right-of-way acquisition payment. Settlements for construction and surveying damage will be negotiated after the line is installed. One hundred percent of damage caused by construction is reimbursable. Should damage occur because of -29- maintenance any time in the future, that amount is also reimbursable. The above somewhat simplifies the attached easement form and its inherent legal language. In any respect, each of the above-numbered concepts correctly express Tri-State' s intentions in easement acquisition. CONCLUSION Tri-State, in selecting the Entry route-Center route- Substation Approach route, as the preferred corridor for construction of the 345 kV transmission line has reached its conclusion based on a careful analysis of the data tabulated in Exhibit 10. 1. The lengths of the three possible corridors in Weld County is essentially the same. 2. The number of inhabited homes in the three corridors is essentially the same. 3 . The number of major and secondary roads crossed in the three corridors is the same. The primary difference in the three corridors is the type of land use and visual impact on homes . 1. By following the Center route corridor minimal disturbance will be done to cropland. The line can be engineered through the maximum distance of rangeland. -30- 2. Visual impact on homes in the corridor can be minimized by selecting a line route to the East of homes , wherever practicable. In addition, homeowner input is being sought to determine routing preferences and owner requirements in the corridor. 3. The topography of this part of Weld County does not allow the selection of a route where the structures can be "hidden" in ravines and draws . If the line is placed in the West corridor, with its relatively high ridges, the line will be visible from Interstate 25 at a maximum number of points as well as being in the West line of vision to homes . If the line is placed in the East corridor, the line would be highly visible from Highway 85 and the Towns of Nunn and Pierce. The East corridor also presents certain technical problems in that the line would be crossing the Union Pacific Railroad, a pipeline and existing power transmission lines. The Center Corridor allows placement of the line to minimize the aesthetic impact on hearby homes, potential expansion of Nunn and Pierce, and roads. Based on owner input, the line can be engineered to use existing topographic features as a background and avoid skylining the structures. By parelleling the -31- existing transmission line in the Substation Approach corridor with similar structures, minimum possible visual impact will occur. -32- ffII I C 0 N F ft_.

Hall, Wheatland, Wyoming. 10. On May 19, 1978, Counsel for Warren Live Stock Company and Lodgepole Land and Livestock Company filed with the Council a "Motion for Change of Place of Hearing" which was followed by a "Resistance to Motion for Change of Place of Hearing" filed by the Applicant on May 22, 1978. The Council issued an "Order Denying Warren Livestock Company-Lodgepole Land and Livestock Company Motion for Change of Place of Hearing" on May 24, 1978. 11. An evidentiary hearing was conducted June 8-9, 1978, at Wheatland, Wyoming and June 28-29, 1978, at Cheyenne, Wyoming. 12. At the hearing the Applicant offered and the Council admitted into evidence, Applicant's Exhibit Nos. 1-6, 8, 12-30, 1A, 36, 6A, 66, and 27A and Protestant's Exhibit A-D, F and G. The Industrial Siting Administration Staff offered and the Council admitted into evidence Staff Exhibits Nos. 1 and 2. 13. Pursuant to terms and provisions of W.S. 35-502.82(c) and (e), the Council is required to find that information submitted by Basin Electric in support of its application o construct the Laramie River Station to Ault transmission line, pursuant to § 3F (12-16) of Permit No. ISC-00-02-76 is adequate to sustain a judgement that construction of the line: a. will comply with applicable laws; and, b. will not pose a threat of serious injury to the environ- ment, or the social and economic condition of the present or future inhabitants; and, c. will not substantially impair the health, safety, or welfare of the inhabitants. II. FINDINGS OF FACT • 14. Compliance with Industrial Siting Council Permit Conditions The record reflects that the Applicant has complied with Conditions 3.F(12) through 3.F.(16) inclusive of Industrial Siting Permit No. ISC-OD-02-76 relating to the selection of the centerline for the proposed Ault transmission line. The Applicant has furnished such information as is necessary to establish that the centerline proposed is consistent with the efficient use of existing corridors wherever practicable and is compatible with existing and reasonably foreseeable land use practices and environmental conditions within and adjacent to the respective rights-of-way. Conditions 3.F.(12) through 3.F.(16) are considered part of a screening process with the broad considerations being the acceptability of proposed routings. Though each element is important to consideration of the siting process, lack of dili- gence on any one condition does not necessarily detract from the overall acceptability of the proposed route. The record shows that implementing a routing for the Ault line adjacent to the Archer preferred is not acceptable from an environmental, economic, and land use compatibility standpoint, thereby precluding reliability as an issue respecting Condition 3.F.(12). The Applicant complied with Condition 3.F. (13) relating to landowner contact in that all landowners along the preferred route were contacted by the Applicant and were given the opportunity to comment as to line location across their properties. Though the record does not reflect that all landowners on alternate routes were contacted, the issue is moot considering the relative unacceptability of these routings. Contact of landowners on the alternates would only serve to further delineate ------ - - - - -- - -2- • site specific environmental and land use problems and would further detract from the route's acceptability. It is evident from the record that the Applicant attempted in good faith to comply with Condition 3.F.(13). The record reflects that the Applicant satisfactorily met the requirements set forth at Condition 3.F. (14) regarding corridor surveys to locate actual rights-of-way. Condition 3.F.(15) requires the Applicant to satisfy all applicable regulatory requirements as to location and operation of the transmission lines. The Applicant has applied for or secured most of the required permits and approvals. It is unlikely that the centerline pre- sented to the Council would change in the course of obtaining approval of the remaining permits. The Applicant conducted an analysis of land use compatibility as required at Condition 3.F.(16). Within the preferred route, it is apparent that the Applicant attempted to avoid land use conflicts in many instances by fol- lowing section or half-section lines, spotting towers to avoid interference with existing center pivot sprinkler systems, and rerouting the line around ether conflicts. The Applicant addressed grounding criteria, maintenance/ inspection schedules, and reclamation in its application and exhibits. 15. At the hearing, the Applicant stipulated with the Protestants to adopt certain conditions that address pertinent environmental and land use issues and clarify procedures to minimize damage to the environment and agricultural practices. The Council finds that these conditions are relevant to full compliance with any permit for the Laramie River Station to Ault transmission line and recognizes these conditions as applicable to all lands and landowners affected on the Ault line within Wyoming. III. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 16. The construction of the Laramie River Station to Ault transmission line will comply with local, state, and federal law. However, determination herein made does not preclude consideration of the requirements of additional permits and approvals which have not been considered inithe record of this proceeding. 17. Based on the hearing record and considering all relevant factors underlying the Council's Initial Decision of April 29, 1976, and Industrial Siting Permit No. ISC-00-02-76, construction and operation of the proposed Laramie River Station to Ault transmission line as described by the Applicant will not pose a threat of serious injury to the environment, or the social and economic condition of the • present or future inhabitants, nor will construction and operation of the line sub- stantially impair the health, safety, or welfare of inhabitants within affected areas. IV. ORDER It is hereby ordered that: 1. The applicant is authorized to construct the Laramie River Station to Ault 345 kV transmission line. The transmission centerline shall be that line shown on the Applicant's Exhibit 2 Ault. 2. The Applicant shall complete and submit to the Office of Industrial Siting Administration the plot plans and profiles for the entire transmission line • prior to start of construction. -3- —— L 3. The Applicant shall continue to negotiate and obtain signed agree- ments evidencing satisfactory settlement for rights-of-way and access for the lines as described by the Applicant and approved by the Council; provided however, where signed agreement as required by the preceeding cannot be obtained the Appli- cant should so notify the Council stating the reason(s) therefore. 4. The Applicant shall take the necessary mitigating actions identified in the application and hearing records to avoid adverse environmental impacts during construction, operation, and maintenance of the transmission line. 5. The Applicant shall institute the necessary measures to obtain all necessary permits and approvals of regulatory agencies, and shall keep the Office of the Industrial Siting Administration informed as to the nature, status, and terms of permit applications and approvals. 6. If by reason of any agency, board, or commission approval(s), the design, construction, or operation of the transmission line is materially altered from that which was presented to the Council as the basis for its approval, the Applicant shall apply for an amendment of this permit. 7. The Applicant will maintain regular surveillance over the transmission line right-of-way and access roads to insure no erosion problems are occurring. When the onset of such problems is detected, the Applicant will take immediate action to rectify the situation and reclaim the area. 8. The Applicant (Project) shall be required to adhere to the following conditions applicable to all lands and landowners affected on the Ault transmission line routing. a. LAND DISTURBANCE: In accordance with the provisions of the Project's Siting Appli- cation and its subsequent commitments to the Council, the Project shall adhere to the following procedures to minimize erosion, scarring of the land, and damage to forage and crops: (1) Within the right-of-way, it is the intent of the Project, consistent with construction requirements and scheduling, to use existing roads and trails so as to avoid steep slopes, highly erosive soil, wet and marshy areas and areas which would interfere with existing land uses wherever practical. (2) The Project shall utilize aerial reconnaissance for in- spection of the transmission facilities to the maximum practical extent. (3) To the maximum practical extent, the Project shall minimize its entry upon wit or muddy grounds. (4) The Project shall minimize the extent of laydown areas, borrow areas for landfill and all other surface dis- turbances. b. RECLAMATION AND WEED CONTROL: Except for a permanent maintenance access road and to the maximum practical extent, the Project shall reclaim and repair disturbed surfaces to re-establish vegetative cover and to prevent and con- trol proliferation of unwanted plant species. (1) The Project shall seed significantly disturbed areas with native cover species that are compatible with the existing uses of the land surrounding the distrubed areas, and shall establish a self-sustaining cover of the reseeded species. -4- 6 (2) The Project shall use mulching, matting, crimping, , fertilization, and other practices as needed to assure successful establishment of the self-sustaining vege- tative cover. (3) The Project shall, as part of its normal inspection and maintenance procedures, inspect soils at tower footings and other disturbed areas to ensure, to the maximum practical extent, successful establishment of the self- sustaining vegetative cover. (4) The Project shall make maximum practical efforts to ensure that soils about tower footings will be stabilized against wind and water erosion. (5) To control unwanted plant species, the Project shall use only those herbicides that are approved by federal, state and local authorities (including local weed control dis- tricts) and shall consult with landowners before applying herbicides. c. GATES: If, for access, it is necessary to cross an existing fence, the ,Project shall install a gate in a sturdy and workmanlike manner con- currently with cutting the existing fence. The Project shall install locks at all new gates, except on Federal lands or other properties where such practices are prohibited or discouraged, and shall provide the landowners with a key and lock. d. NOTICE OF ACCESS: Except for emergencies, prior to entering upon the easement fcr in- spection and maintenance of the transmission facilities, the Project shall to the maximum practical extent, attempt to inform affected - landowners, their tenants, agents or representatives that maintenance crews will be on the ground and the expected date of inspection. e. CLEAN-UP: The Project shall remove all slash, construction debris, survey debris and other trash associated with the transmission facilities to an approved local sanitary disposal site and shall not burn any materials within the transmission facility's right-of-way, without landowner's approval. f. RADIO AND TELEVISION: The Project shall obtain radio and television reception data prior to construction of the transmission facilities along the transmission line route. Copies of all such data shall be filed with the Office of Industrial Siting Administration. If upon completion of construction and energization, or at anytime thereafter, radio or television reception for a landowner is degraded as a result of the transmission line, the Project shall take whatever action is necessary to restore the radio or television reception to its original quality. . g. FENCES AND IMPROVEMENTS, INDUCED VOLTAGE: All existing or future fences pipelines, windmills, bins (herein referred to as structures) within or out of the transmission line -5- easementJ.n—s4cb—proximity to the_transmission line as to be sus- ceptible to induced voltage from the transmission line shall'be- grounded by the Project and such grounding shall be maintained by the Project so that induced voltage will not build up to an extent that it will produce an electrical shock perceptible to a person coming into contact with the structure. Upon notification to the Project by a landowner that voltage is being induced in a structure to the extent that it is producing a perceptible shock, the Project shall, as soon as is reas"nably possible, ground the structure as aforesaid. h. NON-COMPLIANCE: The terms and conditions contained in this Order are for the benefit of the landowners affected by the transmission line. If a landowner feels that the Project is not complying with the terms and conditions of this Order, the landowner may, after notifying the Project and giving the Project a reasonable time to comply, notify the Office of Industrial Siting Administration and request that the Office enforce the terms and conditions of this Order in accordance with the Industrial Siting Act. i. NOTICE OF ORDER: • The Project shall mail by certified mail a cooy of this Order to each landowner whose lands will be crossed by the transmission line from the Laramie River Station and each landowner from whom an easement for the transmission line has been or will be required. j. PROJECT REPRESENTATIVE: The Project shall designate Project representatives, and identify them in the mailing of this Order, who may be contacted by land- ' . owners concerning the terms and conditions of this Order.

Summary and Conclusions Concerning Additional Information on the Missouri Basin Power Project Transmission Facilities Background • The Rural Electrification Administration (REA) issued the Final Environmental Impact Statement (76-2-F) on the Missouri Basin Power Project ("BPP) including associated transmission facilities,' on May 28, 1976. The impact statement was prepared in response to a request from Basin Electric Power Cooperative (Basin Electric) , 1 Bismarck, North Dakota , and Tri-State Generation and Transmission Assocation (Tri-State) , Thornton, Colorado for REA financing for a new generating station and reservoir near Wheatland, Wyoming, and associated transmission facilities. The project includes three 500 MW (net) steam electric generating units , a 104,100 acre-feet water storage reservoir created by Grayrocks Dam on the Laramie River, and approximately 590 miles of 230 kV and 345 kV transmission lines and related substation facilities . A summary of the proposed transmission lines can be found in Table 1 . Construction on all three units and Grayrocks Dam is underway. Construction has been completed on the Laramie River to Dave Johnston 230 kV transmission line. Construction has begun on the Laramie River to Stegall , Stegall to Sidney and Laramie River to Sidney transmission lines and are scheduled to be completed in November 1979. , The Final 'Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) prepared by REA identified the preferred and alternate corridors for the associated transmission lines and evaluated the anticipated environmental effects. The preferred corridors are identified on Map 1. Following the completion and public review of the FEIS, the Missouri Basin Power Project conducted studies for the purpose of selecting actual line routes within the preferred corridors. Line routes were selected for the Dave Johnston line, the Stegall line, the Stegall-Sidney line , and the Laramie River-Sidney line. An Information Document was prepared • by REA for these lines in March 1978.

These proposed routes are situated outside the preferred corridors described in previous Environmental Impact Statements. Counties affected by the routing changes are Platte and Laramie (in Wyoming) , and Weld and Morgan (in Colorado) . ' Tri-State was initially involved in planning for a 230 kV transmission line from the Archer Substation to the Story Substation in conjunction with the Yampa Project, and REA prepared an EIS on the route for the 230 kV line. However , with the advent of the Missouri Basin Power Project, it was determined that the most effective and efficient way to provide power to Tri-State members and to relieve heavy north-south loading of the transmission system would be via a 345 kV line from Laramie River Station to Archer and then to the Story Substation in Colorado. Consequently, the transmission line design was modified and additional environmental studies were conducted. After examining the changes in late 1975, REA made a "Negative Determination" which found that the voltage change from 230 kV to 345 kV for the Archer - Story line segment would not result in environmental impacts which had not been assessed in the original EIS. There was no routing change associated with that "Negative Determination" . Routes for the Laramie River Station to Archer and Archer - Story lines have now been selected and approved by the State agencies and counties in Wyoming and Colorado that have authority to permit siting of transmission facilities . A final line route for the Laramie River Station - 3 Ault line has been selected and approved in Wyoming, and Tri-State is currently working with Weld County officials -to select a line route in Weld County, Colorado. Landowner and public input was factored into the route selection and approval process. Regional and county officials reviewed the routings and had no adverse comments. The Wyoming State Historic Preservation Officer has granted clearance to construct the Wyoming portions of the Ault and Archer transmission lines. The Wyoming State Archaeologist requested that on-the-ground 1 studies be conducted for these lines so that mitigative measures can be instituted if an important site is discovered. After conducting a survey on the Laramie River - Archer line, the State Archaeologist granted clearance for this portion of the project. The Colorado State Historic Preservation Officer has confirmed that the proposed routing of the Archer - Story line will not affect any s *es currently listed in the National Register of Historic Places . An archaeological survey was conducted along the proposed routing of the 4.75 miles of the Archer - Story line in Weld County, Colorado which pass through the Pawnee National Grassland administered by the U.S. Forest Service. No construction will take place in the areas identifed in the survey as possessing archaeological artifacts. Archaeological and historical investigations along the Ault and Archer - Story line routes will be conducted in consultation with the Wyoming State Archaeologist and the Colorado Historical Society. 1 I 4 An Environmental Analysis Report was prepared by the District Ranger of the Pawnee National Grassland covering that portion of the Archer - Story line traversing the National Grassland. The District Ranger field checked the route and found it to be as good a location as can be found on the flat to rolling prairie landscape and recommended issuance of a Special Use Permit for the right-of-way. No final action has been taken by the Forest Service. Environmental descriptions of the area can be found in the Report on the Environmental Analysis for the Electric Transmission Facilities of the Missouri Basin Power Project (Burns & McDonnell , 1976) . The proposed routes encounter no ecosystems that have not been described in this report, nor do they cross any known wetlands . The Colorado butter fl yweed, proposed for listing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as an endangered plant species , occurs in the vicinity of the study area . However, the species is known to exist in an area located approximately 20 miles from the Laramie River - Archer line and thus will not be affected. There are four animal species afforded. protection under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Threatened and Endangered Species program that may occur in the study area. The blackfooted ferret has not been sighted in the study area in recent times and is considered extremely rare. In areas where it is known to occur, it is found in conjunction with prairie dogs , its natural prey. Any large prairie dog towns that may be encountered will be avoided when support structures are.' located. Bald eagles winter in parts of the study area, particularly in wooded areas along the South Platte River, although they are not known to nest in the immediate study area . Golden eagles are common in the area. Colorado and Wyoming have the highest nesting and wintering population of golden eagles in 5 e the United States . While no nesting areas have been observed along the proposed line routes, the lines will be constructed to avoid affecting eagle nests. The peregrine falcon may pass through the study area as a migrant but is not known to nest in this part of Wyoming or Colorado . nor is the habitat well-suited for nesting. The proposed routes will have no impact on any registered historical sites and no adverse impact on archaeological sites . Historical and archaeological surveys of the proposed routes have been or shall be I conducted in the near future. Should any historical or archaeological artifacts be found prior to or during construction, the appropriate State authority will be contacted for consultation. The most significant effect of changes to the Laramie River - Archer - Story and Laramie Rilver - Ault transmission lines will be 'the removal of a total of approximately 20 acres of land currently utilized for grazing to accomodate expansion of the Story Substation site. The soils on the sites , possessing low moisture-holding capacity and susceptible to wind erosion, do not meet the prime farmland criteria. Preservation and replacement of vegetative cover will be emphasized as a means of controlling soil erosion. If distrurbance occurs , ruts will be filled and reseeding will take place after consulting with the Soil Conservation Service, Bureau of Land Management, or U.S. Forest Service. 6 . . • 1 The proposed routes are slightly longer than thecenterlines .of- the preferred corridors addressed in the previous environmental impact' statements. The Laramie River-Archer-Story line is approximately 5.5 miles longer than the original preferred corridor centerline while the Laramie River-Ault line is approximately 2.25 miles longer than the original centerline. The Laramie River-Archer-Story line crosses 7.0 more miles of cropland than the centerline would, whereas the Laramie River-Ault line would cross 0.25 less miles of cropland. Land use comparisons are illustrated in Table 2. Table 2 Land Use Traversed by Selected Line Routes Laramie River-Archer-Story Laramie River-Ault Preferred Selected Preferred Selected Land Use Corridor Route Change Corridor Route Change Cropland 22.5 29.5 +7.0 22 21.75 -.25 Irrigated 5.0 6.0 +1.0 5 ' 1 .75 -3.25 Dry 17.5 23.5 +6.0 17 20 ' +3.0 Rangeland 144.5 143.0 -1 .5 86 P8 .5 +2.5 Total 167.0 172.5 +5.5 108 110.25 +2.25 The proposed routings are not inconsistent with Executive Order 11988 , "Floodplain Management". In places where the lines will cross small streams or drainages , towers will be spotted on high points so that - the stream bed and adjacent lowlands will be spanned. Where the Archer-Story line crosses the South Platte River, it will be necessary to locate support towers in the adjacent lowland or floodplain area. , i However,the towers and footing for structures will be designed so as 7 r not to result in any major damage to property or loss of life while ^ maintaining the integrity of the structures. { A description of the routing alterations is presented below. . Route Alterations Analysis Laramie River to Archer (See Maps 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8) The Laramie River to Archer line will run from the Laramie River Station to the Archer Substation in south central Laramie County, I Wyoming, a distance of approximately 73 miles. Construction is scheduled to begin in March 1979 with completion planned for November 1979. The 345 kV transmission line will leave the Laramie River Station as a double circuit with the Laramie River - Sidney transmission line as shown on Maps 2 and 3. At a point about 18 miles southeast of the plant, the Laramie River - Archer line will turn to the south. This is the SE 4 of Section 33, T23N, R65W and is referred to as Angle Point 1, shown as a circle on Map 3. These 18 miles of double circuit construction are described in the March 1978 Information Document. This double circuit segment of transmission line is generally located to the west of the preferred corridor. At Angle Point 1, the Laramie River - Archer line will turn to the south and continue within the preferred corridor to the Archer Substation utilizing single circuit construction. No expansion of the , area occupied by the Archer Substation will be required to accommodate I 8 • e equipment associated with the Laramie River - Archer and Archer - Story lines. i - Archer to Story (see Maps 1,6 and 7) The Archer - Story 345 kV transmission line will be approximately 99.5 miles in length. Construction of this segment is scheduled to begin in June 1979 and is planned to be completed in April 1980. Exiting from the Archer Substation, the proposed routing will run due east, following an existing transmission line corridor and avoiding an area of cultivated cropland (see Map 6) . This new routing is approximately 0.5 miles south of the original routing. From the point where the Archer - Story line turns south (in the northwest corner of Sec. 31, T14N, R63W) , the line follows the original routing until it reaches a point two miles north of the Wyoming - Colorado border. At this point the line route angles to the west of the original route through rangeland in order to avoid new center pivot irrigation systems and because of changes made in the Weld County portion of the line routing. The original route. through Weld County attempted to avoid the numerous scattered parcels of the Pawnee National Grassland through the use of wood pole angle structures to support the 230 kV transmission line. County officials and landowners objected to this original routing on the grounds that it crossed a significant amount of cultivated wheat land. With the planned voltage upgrading of this line to 345 kV, the cost of the angle towers needed to avoid the Pawnee National Grasslands 9 . . with a 345 kV line are substantially greater than those required for the original 230 kV line. As a result, the proposed line route through Weld County traverses approximately 4.75 miles of rangeland in the Pawnee National Grassland which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service • (see Map 7) . I The original routing through Morgan County ran diagonally to the South Platte River crossing. However, the Board of Morgan County Commissioners suggested that a routing be developed which maximizes the use 1 of section and half section lines in order to minimize the impact on farming. In addition, subsequent to the issuance of the original EIS, Wildcat Reservoir has been proposed. This large water impoundment is planned by the Riverside Irrigation District and will cover a portion of the original diagonal route in Morgan County, north of the South Platte River in parts of T5N, R58W, and T5N, R57W. The proposed line route enters Morgan County in the NW 4 of Sec . 2, T6N, R59W and extends diagonally along the eastern rim of Wildcat Draw for approximately 11 .25 miles. Although the line will span the edges of several plots of cropland, no support towers should have to be placed in cultivated land. . The proposed routing then turns to the east in the SW 4 of Sec. 5, _ T5N, R57W and follows the section line. Along this portion of the route, the line crosses or borders approximately six miles of dry cultivated cropland. Section line routing along this portion of the proposed route will reduce the impact on agricultural activities . i 10 The proposed routing then turns south at the SW 4 of Sec. 31, T5N, R55W where it trends to the southeast and crosses the South Platte River c - at the same location as the original routing. From the river crossing, the line will follow the original routing to the Story Substation. . The Story Substation site will be expanded on the east and south by 20 acres. The site is currently utilized as rangeland and does not meet the criteria . • for classification as prime farmland. • The proposed routing for the Laramie River - Archer - Story line will have a negligible impact on prime farmland. The line will cross or border approximately six miles of irrigated cropland, some of which could be classified as prime farmland. Because the proposed routing is along section and half section lines through this area , the actual impact on agricultural productivity and potentially prime farmlands is expected to be minimal . The Laramie River - Archer - Story line will not adversely affect mineral . production. There are several producing oil and gas wells in the line route vicinity, but the proposed route avoids existing wells and areas of future planned production. t Waterfowl are plentiful on the South Platte River in winter months. Bald eagles winter in parts of the study area, particularly in wooded areas along the South Platte River . Although there have been instances of avian mortality due to collisions with powerlines , there does not exist } enough "hardcore" data to fully understand the cause-effect relationship of this phenomenon. It appears that most of the incidences have involved 11 less visible low voltage distribution lines and telephone lines. The visual acuity and agility of raptors appear to enable them to avoid collisions. The use of relatively large diameter bundled conductors aligned in a horizontal conffguration should aid in making the line more visible to waterfowl and raptors. It is recommended that the South Platte River crossing be periodically monitored for avian collisions and that mitigative measures, such as making conductors and static wires more visible, be implemented where appropriate. 1 Laramie River to Ault (see Maps 1 , 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, and 11) The Laramie River-Ault 345 kV transmission line will extend from the Laramie River Station to the Ault Substation located approximately 4 miles .west of Ault, Colorado, a distance of about 110 miles . Construction is scheduled to begin in July 1980 with completion planned for June 1981. The proposed transmission line leaves the Laramie River Station in a generally southeasterly direction. Near the center of Sec . 11, T24N, R67W, the proposed route turns in a southwesterly direction to avoid a center pivot irrigation system. From this point, the proposed routing departs from the preferred corridor identified in the MRPP EIS and traverses to the east of this corridor (see Map 2) . The proposed route continues in a southwesterly direction for about 10 miles, rejoining the original , preferred corridor in the SE 4 of Sec. 26, T23N, R68W. The above deviation came about as a result of landowner input and changes in land use since the MBPP Final EIS was issued . Extensive development I , 1 I 12 • of center pizot irrigation systems, planned expansion of the Wheatland Airport, and placement of a housing development in and near the preferred corridor necessitated this routing change. The proposed . routing spans center pivot irrigation systems in Sections 11 and 14, T24N, R67W. With the exception of these two irrigated areas , this routing crosses rangeland throughout this segment. 1 ' The proposed routing generally follows the section line within the preferred corridor through Platte County and south into Laramie County. -- In the NW 4 of Sec. 19 , T13N, R67W the proposed routing leaves the corridor for a distance of approximately 5 miles (see Map 9) . This alteration is a result of future plans for irrigation and possible expansion of oil production facilities in the preferred corridor. From the point where the proposed routing re-enters the preferred corridor - in Sec. 31, T13N, R67W, the proposed routing proceeds due south in the corridor until the line enters Weld County, Colorado. For the segment of the proposed transmission line to be located in Weld County, a preferred corridor (referred to as the Western Corridor) and an alternate corridor (referred to as the Eastern Corridor) are assessed in this Information Document (see Maps 10 and 11) . The Eastern Corridor was the "preferred corridor" presented in the MBPP Final EIS . A centerline through the two-mile wide preferred corridor in Weld County enters the county on the section line between Section 19 and 20, T12N, R67W and trends southeasterly for approximately five miles , turning due r south in the center of Sec. 9, T11N, R67W and running south along the t half-section line (see Map 10) . The centerline then turns in a 13 . , southeasterly direction at the southeast corner of Sec. 21, T8N, R67W and extends diagonally to the Ault Substation (see Map 11) . . 1 Construction and operation of a 345 kV transmission line in the Western Corridor (currently the preferred corridor) will result in less , impact on local land use practices than in the Eastern (alternate) Corridor. Much agricultural development has occurred in Weld County I since the MBPP Final EIS was prepared. A centerline through the E Eastern Corridor will cross or border about 19.5 miles of non-irrigated _- cropland while a centerline through the Western (preferred) Corridor Icrosses or borders approximately 16 miles of non-irrigated cropland. I Neither corridor currently crosses any irrigated cropland. There are two existing single circuit transmission lines within the Eastern Corridor which are double-circuited for the southernmost three miles, in addition to an oil pipeline. The presence of these facilities would force the Laramie River - Ault line farther from the section line, increasing the impact on agricultural activities. In addition, the Ault Substation had not been built at the time the MBPP Final EIS was prepared and the configuration was not known at that time. However, the northwest bay has now been assigned to MBPP for the Laramie River - Ault transmission line. For the proposed line to enter the northwest bay from the Eastern Corridor, it would have to cross the two lines which currently enter the Ault Substation from the east. This alignment would cause reliability and design problems and may require unusually tall support towers at the substation site. i 14 The proposed route for the Laramie River - Ault transmission line in Wyoming and the preferred and alternate corridors in Weld County, Colorado, will not adversely affect mineral production in the area. There are several areas of existing oil production in the vicinity of the proposed transmission line, but the routing will avoid areas of current and planned production. There is exploration for uranium in Weld County at the present time. However, the presence of the proposed transmission line will not affect exploratory or mining activities. - E The proposed transmission line will have a 'negligible impact on prime farmland. To be considered prime farmland, soils in the project area would have to be irrigated. The proposed routing for the Ault transmission line will cross or border 1.75 'miles of irrigated cropland. The transmission line will span or be located adjacent to these irrigated plots , and it is not anticipated that any support towers will have to be placed on irrigated land. Summary and Conclusions REA's review of the alterations to the proposed MBPP transmission line routes and Story Substation expansion indicate that these changes will either lessen the potential for environmental impact or will cause no appreciable changes . No environmental features of overriding national interest will be adversely affected which have not been assessed in previous environmental impact statements . Where State, county, or regional agencies have authority to regulate or advise with regard to transmission line routing and have completed their review of the proposed • 15 r •• routes,. the involved agencies have approved the. proposed routes. Input from landowners has been factored into the route assessment process. ' Compliance with all Federal , State and local laws and regulations is mandatory to the construction of these facilities. Y The changes reflected in this Information Document will not result in . any significant change in environmental impact from that set forth in related environmental impact statements previously issued. = Therefore, REA accepts the transmission line routingsproposed by the MBPP as being environmentally acceptable. This Information Document is being issued solely for the purpose of informing the public and those recipients of the MBPP FEIS and Archer - Story 230 kV transmission line FEIS of the transmission facility changes. , . • 16 urns Engineers-Architects-Consultants POST OrFICE [SOX 173 TEL: 816.333.4375 TWX• 910.771.3059 KANSAS CITY.Ma:.5OURI 64141 4600 EAST Gard STREET December 7, 1978 ,,;y73436?. / re 8 7 c9� y ,11 .y Basin Electric Power Cooperative • , �- Mr. Don J.

I do not advise refueling trucUs or tractors directly under a transmission line. There have been a number of experiments made throughout the U.S. and Canada to decide on the probability of igniting gasoline from the electrostatic induction on vehicles under a .transmission line. It has been determined that the probability of such ignition is extremely remote because (1) the vehicle would have to be well insulated, (2) the gasoline pouring spout would have to be grounded, and (3) the day would have to be warm, with low humidity and low wind so that the ideal conditions would exist for such an ignition of a gasoline and air mix— ture. Although possible, I am not aware of any case of fuel ignition under a transmission line. Sincerely yours, Se4--e[jR44-q-1 Merle Poland, P. E.

The questions are repeated in this letter with the answer following each item. 1. In the United States, how many miles of double-circuit 345-kV transmission lines are now in operation? A. 38,407 circuit miles (1975 Federal Power Commission Report). Data is not available for actual miles of double-circuit construction. - 2. Is there any evidence that the presence of this double-circuit 345-kV transmission line will cause sterility or any other defects or health hazards to livestock or humans? A. No. 3. Would persons with heart pacers be adversely affected by this double- circuit 345=-kV transmission line? A. No. 4. Will the presence of this double-circuit 345-kV transmission line prevent livestock from grazing under the lines or within the right-of-way for the lines? A. No. 5. Will livestock using stock dams or dugouts under the double-circuit 345-kV transmission line be in any way affected? A. Livestock will not be affected under normal circumstances. If the animal should be well insulated from ground, such as on a large wooden platform or dry rock area, it might be possible for it to receive a carpet type shock when trying to drink from the pond. If this should occur, the situation can be easily corrected. My conclusions were verified in a telephone call to Mr. Luciano Zaffanella, Head of General Electric's experimental UIIV test project near Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He summarized the results of one of their tests with BRANCH OFFICES: MIAMI, FLORIDA AND NEW YORK CITY : sin i:1i _ . - . cr:.. .�L I,,:cem_'ur : , . ' Mr. Don Dol,r: - Page 2 cows and hon,c,5,. The animals were fenced in an area under a test transmission line of over 1,000-kV with an electric field of 18-kV/meter for a weeks' period. The line was then deenergized. The animals were observed with the line both energized and deenergized. In both cases the animals grazed and drank water in a normal manner at all times. This electric field strength of 18-kV/meter is 4 times higher than the 4-kV/meter directly under the 345-kV line at the point of maximum sag. 6. Does the presence of a double-circuit 345-kV transmission line cause stunting or otherwise affect the growth of animal or plant life, including crops, within or near the right-of-way? A. No. 7. Do farmers and ranchers cultivate and/or otherwise make use of the land under or near such lines? A. Yes. 8. Are there any indications of ill effects to those who work or live near a double-circuit .345-kV transmission line, including utility linemen, who work in close proximity to the conductors? A. No. Researchers with John Hopkins University studied ten line- men over a period of nine years whose work regularly exposed them to high electric fields. The nature of their work included hot stick 'and barehand line maintenance of EHV transmission lines. The investi- gators were unable to detect any change in the health of the linemen. . The linemen made no physical or psychological complaints. 9. Is there any danger if irrigation is utilized under these lines? A. Not unless the conductors are hit by solid streams of water. Booneville Power Adminsitration conducted tests and found that with one type of irrigation system (Vermeer), the solid stream distance will vary from a safe distance of 55 feet with a 3/4-inch nozzle to a safe distance of 130 feet with a 1 15/16-inch nozzle. Care must be taken not to up end 40-foot pipes near the line. If proper precautions are taken, there should be no danger if irrigation is used under these lines. 10. Do people or livestock receive any discernable shocks when passing under or along a double-circuit 345-kV transmission line? A. People or livestock walking beneath the line would receive no effects unless they should touch a large insulated metallic object. A discernable but not hazardous shock might then be felt. 11. Would persons operating tractors or other farming equipment be subject to any hazardous shock potential? A. No. • 12. With a fence grounding policy as stated previously, would people or livestock be subject to discernable or hazardous shocks from fences paralleling or crossing beneath the transmission line? A. No hazardous shocks. Pa ,e 3 13. Does the magnetic field from a double-circuit 345-kV transmission line present any hazard to humans, livestock or wildlife? A. No. 14. What effects, if any, will this transmission line have on radio and television transmission and reception, including CB and Business Band radios? A. (a) Broadcast band radio reception in a residence 500 feet from the line should be essentially unaffected during fair weather and only slightly degraded when receiving low signal strength stations during periods of heavy rain or snow. (b) Radio services such as fire, police, aeronautical, citizen band and amateur radio are either high frequency amplitude modul- ated (AM) as compared to the broadcast band or frequency modul- ated (TM). In either case, there will be essentially no degrada- tion of the reception. Cc) Television interference should not be a problem except under the most adverse conditions, such as the location of a TV antenna on the edge 9f the right-of-way and pointing through the line towards the TV station and under heavy rain or snow conditions. 15. If there are any potential effects, can these be corrected or elimi- nated? A. In most cases, yes; the only exception being AM broadcast band reception under adverse conditions. 16. Do double—circuit 345—kV transmission lines increase the number of lightning strokes-and do they attract lightning? _ A. The lines do not increase the number of lightning strokes, but if the line is higher than the surrounding topography, it will attract the lightning. • 17. Do the shield wires on a transmission line of this design eliminate or greatly reduce the effects of lightning strikes? A. Yes. • Sincerely yours, Merle Poland, P.E.

Generally, the line as proposed in the preferred routing will have relatively small impacts on wildlife. However, I find the statement on wildlife very inadequate in the information furnished this office. There will be some problems with antelope movement for a period of three to five years after the line is constructed, as the refuse to move back and forth under a newly constructed line for about that period of time. The preferred routing should also be the best corridor to prevent problems with waterfowl which would develop if it were placed farther to the west or closer to Black Hollow Reservoir.

TT,'YY "'":``•-^_ Yy-• ' IYMI JY We, as landowners, would like to state our Dtst�gtttve Llgtbr Tower NWJ Colorgdo. .. feelings on this subject. To begin with, we do not feel it should be in Weld County at all. One suggestion we had was that the line follow Interstate 25. The line will affect us if it is put in either Condor B or C. On Condor C it will affect three different sections that we farm. On one piece of ground (Section 8), there are already two power lines. If another one is put there the ground is virually worth- less to us for farming as it would be near impossible for us to get macherinery in and out. We own two sections (10 & 15) in Condor B and they are one of the highest points in this area. Lines put in there could be seen almost to Denver. Also there are eagles nesting there and the property contains ruins of an old Indian campsite. We really feel that these things should not be distracted from with power lines. The only way we can see to put the line, if it has to be in Weld County, is to the extreme west of Condor A. There is a ridge right in that area and the lines would be somewhat hidden from the east and the west. We have colored in red on the eclosed map showing our property and our proposed ideas. We understand that there is another meeting that we can attend to present our ideas on June 16th but Tri-State representative did not know the time or place. It is a true shame that in our "democratic" country we don't have any rights over the land that we own. We are paying for it but don't have any right to say what is done with it. The people in the cities criticise us for not wanting these lines in because all they think about is having more electricity for themselves -- but let one of these companies suggest putting a power pole in the back yard and see how they like it. We do hope the planning commission will take into consideration the ideas and feelings of the landowners involved. The companies putting in the power lines always say that they compensate the landowners but all it amounts to is that they get to do what they want to with our land for "pennies".

UN 1979 Mr. & Mrs. Jerry Rouse • ^ RECEIVED 15627 WCR 108 Wed Ceuegr Nunn, Colorado3061�8 Planeio�Ca®sisslo� June 13, 1979 Mr. Tom Rohn Weld County ?lanning Office Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Mr. Hohn, The other evening, I attended a meeting at the Nunn Town Hall on the power line that Tri-State wants to run through our property. They gave me your name, therefore, I am writing to you to say that I am 100% against this line. I have been fighting it and I will continue to fight it all of the way, as we already have two separate lines running through here which makes it difficult to farm around. My main concern, is that I have an aerial applicators business here, With these lines making it harder to operate off of my airstrip. Another would only make it worse. In the future, we are also considering making the Bellmore Farms Airstrip into a full-fledged airport, and these lines would be very unsafe for this purpose also. Consider these points against the power line coming through here, as to me they are very important factors in deciding against this line. Sincerely yours, g:i'Vx-7/71, go--gOvi--t---iC Lt 1), _I. 7 P 11 .r r . LAB/pib BELLMORE AG AVIATION ,,, ,\415 LeRoy A. Bellmore 'V 4 7079 P. O.

(Of which we had not been notified) We have a lease on 36-8-67 known as the school section. We own considerable improvements including water developement and fences on this oronerty and pay taxes accordingly. We also own adjoining Property on two sides. We did not know anything about the Hayden- Ault line until all plans were finalized. Ron visited the Planning Staff Office when we heard of the Wheatland line being pronosed ,and requested that we be informed of anything concerning same . We feel that the line which angles through the place creates undo hardship for which no compen- sation is provided for, under the circumstances . During the construction of the Hayden-Ault line , fences were removed and left down, and gates were left open in areas where there were cattle. Work was done during extremely muddy weather, for which no consideration or compensation was made. We would like to have the same consideration other landowners have in planning and during con- struction. Very truly yours , (21 �5'L62 ��9`�0�'�> Lois and Ron Jones �� 1gl c Box 313 N 9 Pierce CO 8n650 GV11 u Road 25 and 88 Weld County R w�1d C000.n plandtag tomss�ot� • key `,curt,,T Cen tenclial_ Uno C: '1;15 ry 1 , street 3H' ir�oc:r GreoJ cy, Jor',.,,.-; Tri-State ro,ler ion and Txansmi s-., : o .s , l. ..r 1oo'tec' of nos,2ib?e ,torte„ t•1Lnk onto ., route 5hou;!lc be .,tit Corrit-or ro,;t.e .erection !r 7 <? 3 _411 _n -ell Hd7 ,r:,. r 'lons 19, 30 --tt 3.
