Re: Public Service Company of Colorado — Notification of Intention to Submit Permit
Application for New Electric Transmission Line [C.R.S. §29-20-108 (4)(a)] — Weld
County
Dear Chairman Moreno:
I am writing to you on behalf of Public Service Company of Colorado ("PSCo") pursuant to the
requirements under C.R.S. §29-20-108 (4)(a) (the "Statute") that address the location and
construction of major facilities of a public utility. Specifically, I wish to notify you of PSCo's intent
to submit a Use by Special Review Permit application to Weld County for approval to site and
construct a new electric transmission line near Platteville, Colorado to serve Anadarko's
proposed Latham Gas Plant. The Project consists of approximately 1.75 miles of new electric
transmission lines that will connect the existing Vasquez-Gilchrest 115 -kV to the Latham Gas
Plant. Also, as provided in this Statute, following this notification, PSCo will consult with the
County in order to identify specific geographic locations and routes under consideration for the
electric transmission line described above, and attempt to resolve any land use issues that may
arise from the contemplated permit application.
PSCo looks forward to working cooperatively with Weld County during this application process
for this important facility which is necessary to provide safe, reliable and economical service for
the current and future electrical demands of Weld County.
Sincerely,
Susan Innis,
Manager, Siting & Land Rights
