Hamilton Weld County Board of Commissioners Court House Greeley, Colorado Gentlemen: Attached is a letter from the Larimer County Board of Commissioners stating that they find our Ault-Fort Collins transmission line route acceptable as discussed with you on May 12, 1975. We are in agreement with the procedures that they have outlined for the Loveland-Longmont transmission line route and we will keep you informed of our study progress on that line. When the staff and our consultants have completed their analysis and when the Board of Directors of Platte River Power Authority is prepared to recommend the route they feel is best for all parties concerned, we will pre- sent the results of our analysis to the Larimer-Weld Regional Council of Governments. We would appreciate a letter from the Weld County Board of Commissioners similar to that from the Larimer County Commissioners, confirming that they also feel the Ault-Fort Collins transmission line route is accept- able. It would be most helpful to have Weld County's approval in order for us to begin acquiring right-of-way for this line in order to meet the required service date. Thank you for your consideration and assistance in this matter. Sincerely, PLATT IVER P ER A ORITY S. ert J. milton General Manager encl : /kr • JOHN A.

It is the feeling of this Board that the Fort Collins-Ault route which we reviewed on May 12, 1975 is acceptable. However, we are not pre- pared to give our support to the route proposed for the Loveland-Longmont line. Since some of the concerns relative to the route of the Loveland- Longmont transmission line are regional in nature, we hereby request that Platte River Power Authority present its alternative proposals for the routing of that line to the Larimer-Weld C 0 G Board. The C 0 G Board meets on the first Wednesday of every month. If you have any questions regarding the C 0 G office in Loveland. We look forward to reviewing your alternative routes in the hope that one will be chosen that meets the objectives of all those con- cerned. Thank you very much.

Ben Nix, Chairman Weld County Planning Commission 1516 Hospital Road Greeley, CO. 80631 Dear Mr. Nix: This is in response to your letter of March 19 , 1975 in which you express your Commission's concern and that of the Platte River Pro- tection Association over the location of the transmission lines to be constructed by the Platte River Power Authority from Ault to Longmont , Colorado. This matter of the construction of the lines came before the Public Utilities Commission by way of Application No. 27559 filed on May 10, 1974. Such an application was. entertained by the Commission pursuant to 115-5-1 , CRS 1963, (now section 40-5-101 , CRS 1973) . Thereafter, pursuant to 115-6-8(2) CRS 1963 (now section 40-6-108(2) , CRS 1973) , as implemented by Rule 8 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, proper notice of hearing on the application was given. There is attached hereto the certificate of the Secretary of the Commission attesting to the mailing of the notice as required by law. As you will note thereon, a copy of the notice of hearing was sent to the Weld County Commissioners along with a copy of the application. Additionally, a copy of the Notice of Hearing was posted in this Commission' s office in accordance with the Commission' s Rule 8. You express concern over procedures for notification of public hearings when private property is to be taken by public utilities, and that the hearing held by this Commission related to that matter. In this regard, the Commission' s hearing on the application before it re- lated only to the issuance of a certificate of public convenience for the construction of the lines. This Commission does not have jurisdiction over the granting of property rights such as easements and rights-of-way, or the taking of private property by eminent domain. You make reference to Finding of Fact No. 13 of the Recom ent 4� Decision No. 85531 dated August 14, 1974 wherein a statement is m e-° fg/ that studies were made by Platte River Power Authority concernin ,the A ^It ✓ environmental factors in connection with the location and desig ., of 4'7 transmission lines. Because no transcript of the hearing on A gicat 6k.. JAS .- No. 27559 is available, I am unable to give you any details co prtgiifn%pc, LFo the studies and the public hearings referred to. In any event, ` hestr.'c,,`°�i public hearings were not conducted by this Commission. r. ssor n / u Mr. J. Ben Nix, Chairman Weld County Planning Commission Page 2 April 9, 1975 Finally, in regard to your request that the Public Utilities Commission review and consider relocating that portion of the power line right-of-way proposed along the western edge of Weld County. I must inform you that the actual geographical location or routing of the lines is not within the jurisdiction of this Commission. I trust that the foregoing remarks will clarify the position of the Commission in regard to the issues raised in your letter. Very truly yours, /7,70,7/ Edwin R.

Pyle now transmits herewith to the Commis- sion the record and exhibits of this proceeding, together with a written recommended decision which contains his' findings of fact and conclusions thereon, together with the recommended order or requirement. -2- • FINDINGS OF FACE Based upon all the evidence of record, the following is found as fact that: 1 . Applicant, Platte River Power Authority, is a non-profit • corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the • State of Colorado. It is a public utility as defined in 115-1-3, CRS 1963, as amended, and it is subject to the jurisdiction of this Commission. It is engaged in the purchase of electric power and energy from the United States Bureau of Reclamation, and the transmission of that power and energy for sale at wholesale to four Municipalities for resale within the state of Colorado, as follows : City of Fort Collins; City of Loveland; City of Longmont; Town of Estes Park.. Certified copies of its Restated Articles of Incorporation and all amend- ments thereto are on file with this Commission, 2. The Commission has jurisdiction over Matte River, and also over the subject matter of this application. 3. Platte River was created by the four Municipalities listed above, as their agency and instrumentality, to construct, reconstruct, improve and rehabilitate, repair, operate, and maintain generating plants and transmission systems for the purpose of delivering electrical power and energy generated thereby to said Municipalities . • 4. The United States Bureau of Reclamatioh (the "Bureau") has historically supplied the wholesale electric power and energy requirements of the Municipalities but will be unable to supply additional electric power and energy to meet load increases after 1977 (Exhibit B). The electric power and energy available to the Municipalities from the Bureau is sold to Platte River by the Bureau (Exhibit C) and resold by Platte River to the Muni- cipalities (Exhibits D, E, F, and G) . 5. To meet the increasing power and energy requirements of the Municipalities, Platte River is participating in the Yampa Project which comprises the construction, operation, and maintenfince of an electric generating station to be located near Craig, Colorado, together with related transmission and transformation facilities. The Yampa Project and Platte River's participation in that project has been heretofore certificated by this Commission by Decision No. 85132 (Exhibit R), 6. Applicant will receive electric power and energy to which it is entitled by virtue of its participation in the Yampa Project at the Ault, Colorado, terminus of the 345 Kv transmission line to be constructed, owned and operated by the United States Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation. It is anticipated that the first unit of the Yampa Project will be ready for test in November, 1977, and. that Applicant will begin to • receive deliveries of electric power and energy at Ault, Colorado, at that time. 7. Applicant proposes to construct a 230 Kv transmission line to connect the Ault, Colorado, delivery point with Longmont, Colorado, and with interconnections to Fort Collins, Colorado, and Loveland, Colorado, together with related transformation facilities, associated facilities and structures.. -3- 4 Applicant proposes to design and construct certain segments of the Ault- Longmont Transmission Line so as to permit joint use of those segments of that line by certain of its Municipal customers and other utilities, thereby minimizing environmental impact and achieving the economics of joint use. 8. A small joint use segment of the Ault-Longmont Transmission Line (about 0.8 miles) was heretofore constructed by the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, which needed transmission capability along that segment prior to the date of construction proposed by Applicant. Applicant subsequently pur- chased this joint use segment from Fort Collins on the terms and conditions contained in Exhibit H. 9. Applicant proposes to construct and own all remaining segments of the Ault-Longmont Transmission Line and to make the segments suitable to joint use available to its applicable municipal customers on similar terms and conditions to those relating to joint use by the City of Fort Collins and contained in Exhibit H, and also to make capacity in the line available to other utilities pursuant to transmission and exchange agreements to be negotiated and to be filed with the Commission when executed, 10. It is anticipated that construction of the Ault-Longmont Transmission Line will begin in 1974, and that the line will be completed, and placed in service in 1978, so as to timely meet the in-service dates r of the Yampa Project. 11 . The Ault-Longmont Transmission Line is required to meet the increasing electric power and energy demands of the Municipalities, Appli- cant's customers. 12. Applicant has the ability to carry out the construction, opera- tion, and maintenance of the facilities and equipment described herein. Applicant proposes to finance the facilities and equipment described herein through the issuance of revenue bonds and other debt financing for said purpose, Applicant will apply to the Commission for approval of the issuance of any securities which may be involved herein and which have a maturity date of more than 12 months after the date thereof. 13. Applicant has given extensive consideration to environmental factors in connection with the location and design of the Fort Collins- Longmont segment of the proposed Ault-Longmont Transmission Line, trans- formation facilities and related equipment. Specifically, while not required by law, numerous studies were undertaken and public hearings held which were the basis for an environmental analysis which was prepared for Applicant. On the basis of the foregoing, the proposed Ault-Longmont Transmission Line will meet all present federal and state environmental standards, and 'that the location, design, construction, and operation of said facility will comply with all applicable Federal and State laws and regulations. 14. The need for the aforesaid Ault-Longmont Transmission Line is based on long-range studies made for the purpose of determining the service requirements of the Municipalities served by Applicant, which studies show the load growth and the anticipated demands for increased delivery of power and energy to the Municipalities. The construction, operation, and maintenance of the aforesaid facility as proposed herein is in the public interest and . required by the public convenience and necessity. The construction of these _ facilities will strengthen the transmission grid in the area and will enable Applicant to make a part of the capacity therein available to other utilities pursuant to agreements to be negotiated and to be filed with the Commission when executed. Negotiations are under way between Applicant and Public Service Company with reference to a Longmont-Fort St. Drain tie.. -4- 4 CONCLUSIONS ON FINDINGS OF FACT Based on the above and foregoing findings of fact, it is concluded that: 1 . Public convenience and necessity require that Platte' River be authorized to construct the 230 Kv Ault-Longmont transmission lines for the purpose of supplying the wholesale electric power and energy require- ments of the Municipalities and that the application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity be granted as set out herein. 2. Pursuant to 115-6-9(2) , CRS 1963, as amended, it is recom- mended by the Examiner that the Commission enter the following Order. ORDER THE COMMISSION ORDERS THAT: 1 . The public convenience and necessity require and will require . the construction of a 230 Kv transmission line to connect the Ault, Colorado, delivery point with Longmont, Colorado, and with interconnections to Fort Collins, Colorado, and Loveland, Colorado, together with related r transformation facilities, associated facilities, and structures and the same is hereby authorized, 2. The public convenience and necessity requires approval of the acquisition, operation, and maintenance by Applicant from the City of Fort Collins of the double-circuit transmission line from Station 300 to Drake Road, Fort Collins, including the foundations, towers , and 230 Kv facilities of such line, and the contract for the acquisition of such facilities by Applicant from the City of Fort Collins is hereby approved. , 3. The Commission retain jurisdiction of this proceeding to the end that it may make such further order or orders in the premises as it may deem proper or_ desirable. 4. This Recommended Decision shall be effective on the day it becomes the Decision of the Commission, if such be the case, and is entered as of the date hereinabove set out. 5. As provided by 115-6-9(2) , CRS 1963, as amended, copies of this Recommended Decision shall be served upon the parties , who may file exceptions thereto; but if no exceptions are filed within twenty (20), days after service upon the parties or within such extended period of time as the Commission may authorize in writing (copies of any such extension to ; be served upon the parties) , or unless such Decision is stayed within such time by the Commission upon its own motion, such Recommended Decision shall become the Decision of the Commission and subject to the provisions of 115-6-14, CRS �1963, as amended. �� iv�pr THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION d _k 4 j9 OF THE STATE OF COLORADO lry "No t .. • „'3 M + }4 ROBERT L.

(,HE ELLY COLORADO 80631 ' ti ph1 1516 Hospital Road COLORADO March 10, 1975 Mr. Ernest P. Kollar Rt. 1 , Box 221 83 Longmont, Colorado 80501 Dear Mr. Kollar: Thank you for your letter of February 25, 1975. I am currently in the process of investigating the situation which you referred to in your letter. It seems that the Platte River Power Authority received a permit for the transmission line in question from the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. Representatives of the Commission have informed our office that public hearings on the permit were held in Longmont and Denver, and that notice of these hearings were published in newspapers of general circulation in the area involved. I am currently writing the Commission for copies of their decision on this matter, and for copies of all e public notices which were issued prior to the hearings. It seems that since federal funds were not involved in the project, our office did not have the opportunity to review the project prior to issuance of the permit. We understand your concern in this matter, and are taking the necessary steps to gain additional information which will , hopefully, clarify the situation. Sincerely, ( Gary Z. Fortner Assistant Planning Director P jsm WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. HARRY S. ASHLEY GLENN K. BILLINGS ROY MOSF R i February 25, 1975 Rt. 1, Box 221 B3 Longmont, Colo. 80501 John Juntunen Director of Planning Commission 1516 Hospital Road Greeley, Colorado 80631 Dear Sir: Recently I discovered that a huge power transmission line is about to be constructed along the Front Range of the Rockies. This causes me grave concern and I feel that the matter should be brought to the attention of public officials for your serious consideration. The Platte Valley Power Authority, as you may know, is in the process of constructing a vast power transmission line stretching from Fort Collins to Longmont. It will run North to South between Route 287 and Interstate - 25 along a line East of the Weld County Line. The line will consist of one-hundred foot high towers, six-hundred feet apart, each having T's supporting a large number of cables. You know that in this region, a person can capture the most breath- taking view of the Rockies. On a clear day, one can view Pikes Peak to the South and clear North beyond Longs Peak. The power transmission line will cut its way through the heart of this region giving the appearance of a huge clothes line in a vast back yard. How fitting it will be, especially as our Centennial year approaches that we erect hundreds of these towering monuments as "The Gateway to the Rockies". In years to come, these will stand as living reminders of the greed, short- sightedness, corruption and insensitivities characteristic of the people of Colorado in the past 100 years. Most, if not all, of the people in this area were unaware that the line was in the planning or proposal stage. People to the North only found out about it when survey teams and construction crews began to infiltrate their land. The standard answer to why they were not previously notified is that a Greeley newspaper carried a public notice. I doubt seriously that along the entire route, one person can be found subscribing to a Greeley newspaper. People were simply told that this is "progress" and that the law of Eminent Domain gave them no choice in the matter. t 1 \ rf As children watched their only tree being cut down, farmers were offered a "just" compensation. Those who were labeled "trouble makers" have yet to be paid. Most farmers and landowners who cooperated re- ceived their meager payment but realized only too late, the abrupt drop in the value of their land and the fact that it never again will appreciate at the same rate. These people were taken and more will follow. Many of the people in this area, myself included, went through the added expense of having REA supply underground service to our homes to make certain that we did not harm our view, or the view of our neighbors. REA even took publicity photographs of one model farm with underground service. Today, the same farm, not by the owners choice, is cluttered with high transmission poles. The cities along the Front Range have always used Weld County as their garbage dupe Over the years they have reduced the rivers and streams to mere trickles of poluted filth. Now they threaten to take the irrigation water from the farmers and then, to pour salt in our wounds, they drape power lines all over our land so that we can forever be reminded that we are the cess pool of the Front Range. These ruthless desecrators in the "spirit of progress" rip their way through every hill and valley, not along existing rights of way, but along the shortest possible path - over lakes and through valleys. When their job is done, they leave, but we and all the people of Colorado are left with the spoils. Most of us feel that at least the spirit of the law has been violated. We believe that ruthless self-interest groups using taxpayers money are pushing this line in a reckless fashion totally unconcerned with its devast- ating consequences. Furthermore, we believe that the concern for beauty in this state should not be limited to the cities along the foothills and the mountain interior. We feel a need to preserve the beauty of farmland on the East side of towns as well. The area affected covers thousands of acres involving hundreds of people. Most of us feel that something is wrong - that this sort of thing cannot happen in a democracy. Certainly, the technology exists to go under- ground or that a more equitable power distribution system can be worked out. We need your help) When the Centennial year arrives, we too would like to lift our heads high and say, "We're proud to live in Colorado". Very truly yours, L� :))C!if �f Ernest P.
