INTRODUCTION Colorado -Ute Electric Association, Inc. proposes to con- struct, operate, and maintain a 138 kv transmission line from its existing Rifle, Colorado Substation to Battlement Mesa. The pro- ject would consist of a single circuit transmission line of ap- proximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) in length, a new substation to terminate the line at Battlement Mesa, and terminal additions to the Rifle Substation. This new transmission line is necessary so that Holy Cross Electric Association (HCEA) can continue to provide adequate service to Battlement Mesa, Inc. and serve other proposed developments within its certificated service area. This document summarizes relevant environmental factors that were used to develop and evaluate alternative methods for satisfying the electric power needs created by Battlement Mesa and other develop- ments. Specific. review of the environmental consequences of the proposed transmission line is also provided. Colorado -Ute is an incorporated generation and transmission cooperative. association headquartered in Montrose, Colorado. It operates on a nonprofit basis, providing wholesale electric power to 14 "all -requirements" members. The certificated service terri- tories of these members include all or part of 50 of the state's 63 counties, located principally in western and southern Colorado. Colorado -Ute delivers power to its members over its own transmission system consisting of approximately 1,709 km (1,062 miles) of high-voltage transmission lines and 41 substations. Colorado -Ute also supplies power over the high-voltage trans- mission facilities of other power supply entities in the region pursuant to a variety of contractual interconnections, wheeling, and displacement arrangements. The members serve their individual retail customers over their own distribution and subtransmission lines. Battlement Mesa, Inc. is located within the certificated ser- vice territory of Holy Cross Electric Association, Inc. In December 1980 HCEA served approximately 20,370 customers in por- tions of Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin Counties. HCEA's largest load areas are Eagle -Vail and Basalt -Carbondale -Aspen. HCEA serves smaller load centers near Glenwood Springs and Rifle. Colorado -Ute delivers power through its own transmission system to HCEA at Rifle, Vail, and Beaver Creek substations. Colorado -Ute delivers power to HCEA at Aspen, Glenwood Springs, and Basalt through wheeling arrangements with Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo). HCEA has experienced an average annual compound load growth of 14 percent over the past 11 years. HCEA's maximum power -2- requirement to date was 75.3 megawatts (mw) in December 1980. That maximum power requirement is expected to increase to approximately 130 mw in 1985, 175 mw in 1990, and 240 mw in 1995, due in large part to anticipated expansion of both winter and summer recreation facilities (as was experienced at Aspen and Vail during the last decade) and the development of the oil shale industry near Parachute (of which Battlement Mesa, Inc. is an integral part). -3- II. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THE PROJECT A. General A large-scale effort is now underway to develop the rich coal, oil shale, and uranium deposits of northwestern Colorado. In Garfield County alone, some 250,000 barrels/day of shale oil may ultimately be produced by Exxon and Tosco (Colony Project), Chevron, Union, and Occidental. For each 50,000 barrel/day facility, the Governor's Blue Ribbon Panel on Oil Shale Development has estimated the need for approximately 1,200 con- struction workers and 1,600 operational workers. Construction is already underway for these oil shale projects. The Colony Project, nearest to Battlement Mesa, is scheduled to begin com- mercial oil shale production in 1986. With additional workers necessary for community services, stores, restaurants, etc., and with families accompanying part of the work force, the population in the area of these projects is expected to increase drama- tically. Because of access provided by Interstate 70, most of the population increase due to oil shale development in Garfield County is expected to be located in the Rifle, Parachute, and DeBeque vicinities. In the Rifle and Parachute areas, electric service is provided by Public Service Company of Colorado to the north of the Colorado River and by Holy Cross Electric -4- Association to the south of the river. The Study Area for this project consists of the HCEA certificated service area between the Colorado -Ute Rifle Substation and Battlement Mesa. It is mapped in Figure 1. B. Battlement Mesa, Inc. Development Battlement Mesa, Inc. is a new residential community cur- rently under construction near Parachute, Colorado. Jointly owned by Exxon Company, USA and Tosco Oil.Company, thisnew community will provide housing and community services, including schools, stores, and recreational facilities, to workers (and their fam- ilies) of the Exxon -Tosco Colony oil shale project and other oil shale developments in residential units are Battlement Mesa, Inc. the Parachute vicinity. Approximately 400 presently occupied. When completed, will consist of 8,000 to 8,500 residential units, providing housing for an expected population of 20,000 to 30,000. The size of the completed development will be approxi- mately 1,250 hectares (3,100 acres), which is nearly 13 square kilometers (5 square miles). Battlement Mesa, Inc. is mapped in Figure 1. Battlement Mesa, Inc. is within the certificated service area of Holy Cross Electric Association (HCEA). The existing mobile home development at Battlement Mesa, Inc. is now served by HCEA's 24.9 kv distribution line from Colorado-Ute's Rifle Substation, approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) to the northeast. -5- 0•Kdo Iva MS IL 1\ G A R F I E ,` • w•6 0 �r"'RA rtwvlE 6E706 \ tr 19 C-ap Aro 0.

The number of occupied mobile homes is less than estimated to date; however, the capacity for electrical connections must be available because the mobile home foundations are being constructed as scheduled and mobile homes may be installed at any time. The total number of customers includes commercial, educational, and recreational facilities, which are expected to total nearly 700 units by the time the 8,500 residential units are occupied. The present HCFA 24.9 kv distribution line is expected to reach its service capacity of approximately 10 mw by late 1982. -6- C. Other Developments in the Study Area Another possible major load within the HCEA service area is the proposed Rifle Winter Sports Area, located near Doghead Mountain in the Cache and Cottonwood Creek Drainages (see Figure 9). This facility, proposed to have an initial capacity of 4,000 skiers per hour, is presently in the permit review stage. The draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) by the U.S. Forest Service is scheduled for completion in October 1981 and the :Final EIS is scheduled for filing in February 1982. If the special use permit is issued by the Forest Service, construction could begin in the summer of 1982. If oil shale development proceeds at even a fraction of its full potential, a continuing growth of associated services and facilities willoccur from Rifle to Grand Junction. Included in the spinoff development could be supply firms, fabrication and machine shops, stores, restaurants, and residential neighborhoods, among other facilities. Access to Interstate 70 will be a prime factor in determining where the ancillary development occurs. In the eastern part of the Study Area, Interstate 70 is on the south side of the Colorado River within the HCEA service area. Recent residential and commercial construction has already taken place immediately south of Rifle. With improved access for Battlement Mesa and the Rifle Winter Sports Area, pressure for more ancillary -7- facilities in the Study Area is expected to increase. Several subdivision plats located in the Study Area are registered with Garfield County. The main, high-density plat is located on Morrisania Mesa near Battlement Mesa, Inc. Smaller plats exist in the northeast part of the Study Area near the existing com- mercial/residential development and the Garfield County Airport. In addition, several large, low-density plats are registered for areas on Grass, Taughenbaugh, and Holms Mesas. Based on loads ex- perienced at other ski areas, an estimitated initial load poten- tial of 10 megawatts (mw) exists from the Rifle Winter Sports Area and other developments in the Study Area. ' D. Coordination of Service in the Study Area with Service Needs Throughout Northwestern Colorado. Loads in the Rifle-Parachute-DeBeque area are growing rapidly, both in the service areas of Colorado-Ute's members (Holy Cross Electric Association and Grand Valley Rural Power Lines) and in the service area of Public Service Company of Colorado. Loads are also growing rapidly in the Piceance Creek area, where another Colorado -Ute member, White River Electric Association, will soon begin serving the C -b oil shale tract. Colorado -Ute has studied the needs for transmission system capacity for the entire area and has developed a 138 kv system plan that will integrate with -8- existing facilities to provide adequate capacity for all load growth and include the flexibility to meet the needs of both PSCo and Colorado -Ute. Such a coordinated system will minimize expen- sive facilities and the associated costs for all customers. The existing subtransmission system in northwestern Colorado is 138 kv. A 138 kv line extends west from Hayden Station to Utah. Another extends east from Hayden through the Winter Park area to the PSCo system near Dillon. A third extends south from Hayden Station through Meeker to the Colorado -Ute Rifle Substation. This 138 kv circuit extends farther south and west through Collbran to Grand Junction and is presently energized at 115 kv through a 138-115 kv transformer at the Rifle Substation. A fourth 138 kv circuit extends west from Meeker into Utah. Moon Lake Electric Cooperative (not a Colorado -Ute member) presently serves one major oil shale load from that line. White River Electric Association will soon complete construction of a 138 kv line from Meeker to the Cathedral Bluffs oil shale project (C -b tract) on Piceance Creek. The 138 kv subtransmission system operated by Colorado -Ute is presently connected to the 230 kv transmission system at Hayden Station and Rifle Substation. In the future, the 138 kv system -9- will be served from 345 kv sources at Rifle Substation and a new Meeker 345-138 kv substation. Colorado -Ute proposes to extend the 138 kv subtransmission system to serve the new loads in the Battlement Mesa area (see Section III. Alternatives). This line could be extended west to DeBeque or north to the oil shale industrial areas to serve loads of either PSCo or Colorado -Ute members. Either PSCo or Colorado -Ute could extend that 138 kv line to the Cathedral Bluffs project and complete a 138 kv loop from Meeker to Rifle; As loads increase in the area served by the 138 kv loop, addi- tional parallel 138 kv circuits may be required. Colorado -Ute studies indicate that 400 mw of load could be served before a major transmission line (345 kv) into the area is required. The 138 kv subtransmission plan provides time to ascertain where and how large industrial loads in the area will be, in order to deter- mine where transmission facilities (345 kv) would be necessary. The 138 kv subtransmission system would then be used to distribute power to the individual loads and to provide backup for the trans- mission system. The plan advanced by Colorado -Ute puts in place the subtransmission system while the oil shale, loads are devel- oping, allowing the major transmission system to be delayed until the need is certain. -10- III. ALTERNATIVES' Colorado -Ute has investigated several alternatives for satis- fying the Study Area's power needs. Summary discussion of the alternative evaluation and a detailed description of the proposed project are provided in this section. Each alternative is dis- cussed separately. A. No Action Battlement Mesa, Inc. is already under construction and several additional developments are proposed within the Study Area. Holy Cross Electric Association has projected an addi- tional load of 26 megawatts (mw) on its system at Battlement Mesa by 1986. Additional load can be expected from the Rifle Winter Sports Area and other potential developments between Rifle and Battlement Mesa. The existing HCEA 24.9 kv distribution line has capacity for approximately 10 mw. Presently carrying approximately 3 mw, this line is expected to reach capacity by late 1982. Difficulty in maintaining adequate voltages and the possibility of blackouts could be expected at Battlement Mesa, Inc. after 1982 if no action is taken to provide additional power supply capacity. Supplying the expected future load through the existing HCEA 24.9 kv distribution line is therefore not -11- considered a viable alternative. If the Rifle Winter Sports Area is developed as proposed, the HCEA 24.9 kv line could experience even more serious operational capacity problems. B. Elimination of Project Need Through Conservation The capacity of HCEA's existing 24.9 kv distribution line is expected to be reached by December 1982. After that time, an an- ticipated additional 15 megawatts of load would be added in the Battlement Mesa area by 1986 (comprising nearly 58 percent of the expected total Battlement Mesa load). Although conservation ef- forts are an important part of any electric utility's long range planning, it is wholly unrealistic to expect conservation alone to reduce 58 percent of the projected load from this new community, whose new homes are built to meet state and county energy effi- ciency requirements. Conservation is not considered a viable al- ternative to supplying additional line capacity in this case. C. Upgrade Existing HCEA Distribution Line Holy Cross Electric Association operates a 24.9 kv distribu- tion circuit from the Colorado -Ute Rifle Substation to Battlement Mesa, which is expected to reach operating capacity by -12- December 1982. The HCEA line was originally constructed for 7.2 kv in 1948 and has been upgraded twice: to 14.4 kv in the fall of 1980 and further to 24.9 kv in the spring of 1981. Any further upgrade would require major modifications to the line, including replacement of the old pole structures for nearly the entire length of the line and increasing the existing rights-of-way for greater safety clearances. Since the HCEA line is radial (is not looped; its only power source is through the Rifle Substation at its eastern end), Battlement Mesa would have no source of power while the line was out of service for upgrading. The only possi- ble backup during such upgrading would be the PSCo 69 kv line, which is now fully loaded. The possibility of rebuilding the line while in service is not considered feasible due to the extreme danger and expense of such work. Even if upgrading were feasible, or if a new, parallel distribution line were constructed, opera- ting a 32 kilometer (20 mile) line at lower distribution voltages is much less efficient and economical than operating a higher vol- tage subtransmission line. Therefore, the alternative of up- grading the existing HCEA distribution line is not considered a viable alternative. The real need is for a line of intermediate, subtransmission voltage in the Study Area, which would carry ad- equate power efficiently, but could be tapped economically at fairly short intervals wherever the loads occur. -13- D. Wheel Power Over Existing Public Service Company of Colorado 230 kv Transmission Line Public Service Company of Colorado (PSCo) operates a radial 230 kv transmission line from the PSCo Rifle Substation to their Cameo generating station, about 55 kilometers (35 miles) southwest of Parachute. This line generally follows the Colorado River and passes through the Study Area. Another PSCo line, at 69 kv, fol- lows the Colorado River from their Shoshone power plant to Cameo, and also extends to Grand Junction. The 69 kv line is presently loaded to capacity. It would be possible to construct a 230-24.9 kv substation to connect Battlement Mesa to the PSCo 230 kv line and for Colorado -Ute to wh±el power over the PSCo line to HCEA. A major drawback to t is alternative is its failure to offer any future possibility of providing Battlement Mesa with adequate backup service. The existing HCFA 24.9 ]cv line will be inadequate for that purpose after 1982 and the PSCo 69 kv line is presently inadequate for that purpose. If the 230 kv line were to be put out of service, the Cameo generating station could not provide backup service to Grand Juntion, Battlement Mesa, Parachute, and the oil shale loads. PSCo has indicated plans to upgrade the 230 kv line to 345 kv in the future for service to industrial loads. The uprating would require taking the line out of service for an -14- extended period. Until the uprating is complete, the PSCo 230 kv line is not a viable power source for Battlement Mesa. An additional major drawback is the inefficiency of using a line sized for bulk power tranmission to serve relatively small loads at short intervals. Even if the PSCo 230 kv line is utilized as the power source for Battlement Mesa, additional fa- cilities would have to be provided to serve smaller loads at shorter intervals along the Colorado River, for example, the Rifle Winter Sports Area and other developments. A subtransmission line could be built from the Battlement Mesa substation to serve these smaller loads, but it could not be looped to provide backup capa- bility without extending completely to Rifle. For these reasons, wheeling power over the PSCo 230 kv line is not considered an at- tractive long term alternative. E. Construct New Transmission Line Based on constraints developed in the review of other alter- natives, the only feasible method to provide electrical power to the Study Area is to construct a new transmission line. Tne line should be sized at 138 kv to provide for the subtransmission needs of the Study Area and to integrate the line into the northwestern Colorado subtransmission system (see Section II. D.). A new transmission line brings about the potential to develop -15- backup capability for Battlement Mesa. If the proposed Battlement Mesa substation is tied into the PSCo 230 kv line, then backup capability is established. If the PSCo line is simply tapped, without a new subtransmission line, no adequate backup service is possible. Tied into the PSCo 230 line, the new 138 kv subtransmission line would open the possibility for PSCo to upgrade their 230 kv line to the east of Battlement Mesa. Several possible routes for the 138 kv line were investigated. In identifying possible viable routes, numerous constraints were considered by the planners and engineers, including the following: 1. Avoiding existing and planned commercial, residential and agricultural developments; 2. Avoiding areas where the line would become a prominent visual feature; 3. Avoiding areas of important environmental or cultural/historical significance, or where major detrimental environmental impacts would occur because of the line; 4. Following existing access roads where possible to avoid costs and impacts associated with new road construction; S. Using existing utility corridors where those corridors do not present serious conflicts with other constraints; 6. Maintaining straight alignment where possible because support structures for straight spans are simpler to -16- construct, cheaper, and create less environmental disturbance than structures for angle points. Consideration of these factors eliminated all but a few pos- sible routes for the Rifle -Battlement Mesa line. These routes are shown in Figure 2. As the map indicates, the line can be divided into three segments (A, B, and C). •For Segment A, the eastern portion, two reasonable alternates. exist, which are noted on the snap as A-1 and A-2. A-1 would par- allel an existing White River Electric Association 69 kv line along the base of Grass Mesa. A-2 would immediately ascend Grass Mesa directly south of the Rifle Substation and would then paral- lel the existing PSCo 230 kv line. A-1 would be primarily located in a Bureau of Land Management Visual Resource Management Class 2 'area (see Section IV. I.), which is considered more visually sen- sitive than the Class 4 area where most. of Segment A-2 would be located. However, A-1 would be located near the base of Grass Mesa and therefore its visual impact would not be major. A-1 has the advantage that it would not cross as much agricultural land as A-2; however, A-2 would better avoid existing and planned commer- cial/residential developments. There are several utility rights- of-way at the base of Grass Mesa already. Utilizing this route would offer the possibility of consolidating some rights-of-way by double circuiting. In summary, from an environmental viewpoint, either alternate A-1 or A-2 is an acceptable route.

Segment B of the line parallels the existing PSCO 230 kv line, which appears to be well -located in this area. It avoids agricultural lands, has minimal visual impact, and has an adequate number of access roads. Placing the Colorado -Ute line closer to the Colorado River would require traversing considerable agricultural land, while routing the line higher on the mesa would require the construction of more access roads with no significant positive benefit. Therefore, only one alternative is considered acceptable for Segment B. Two possible alternate routes exist for Segment C of the line. C-1 would parallel the existing PSCo line for the entire segment length. C-2 would ascend Holms Mesa near Spruce Creek and traverse the southern edges of Holms and Morrisania Mesas near the base of the foothills of Battlement Mesa. It would then approach Battlement Mesa, Inc. along its southern boundary. Alternate C-2 has decisive advantages over C-1 (the route of the existing PSCo line). First, the PSCo line crosses several agricultural lands and is very close to numerous others. C-1 would have to cross some agricultural lands and, depending on the specific location of purchased rights-of-way, might have to cross -18- adjacent agricultural parcels that the PSCo line presently misses. Second, it would be difficult for the Colorado -Ute line to miss several houses and farm buildings which are located near the existing PSCo line. Third, at the base of Morrisania Mesa, the PSCo line traverses steep terrain and passes quite close to the Colorado River. Maintaining adequate clearance from the PSCo line on its southern side (which is where C-1 would have to be located) would present serious engineering and construction difficulties. Fourth, both Alternate C-1 and the PSCo line would be highly visible from Interstate 70, the area's major thoroughfare. Fifth, a 30 -meter (100 foot) right-of-way has been established through Battlement Mesa, Inc. for the existing PSCo line. A minimum additional 30 meters (100 feet) would be necessary for C-1. Due to the amount of construction which will have been completed at Battlement Mesa by the time C-1 is designed, obtaining adequate right-of-way through Battlement Mesa, Inc. may be impossibile. Alternate C-2 was developed for the purpose of avoiding the conflicts of uses evident in Alternate C-1. Located on the southern edges of both Morisania and Holms Mesas, Alternate C-2 has minimal visual impacts and avoids both residential and agri- cultural development. In addition, C-2 passes through the proposed Rifle Winter Sports Area; providing service to the facility would require only the construction of a substation at -19- the site. Therefore, C-2 is the preferred alternative for this segment. F. Description of Proposed Project The basic structures for the transmission line will be wood pole "H" frames installed using conventional vehicular techniques. Drawings of typical tangent, angle, and deadend structures appear in Figure 3. There will be approximately 5 to 6 structures per kilometer (8 to 10 structures per mile). The poles will be treated with either a pentachloropenol or ACA (copper arsenic process) preservative. After aging, treated poles will have a light brownish coloration. Approximately 370 squa e meters (4,000 square feet or 1/10 acre) will be temporarily dist rbed in erecting each pole structure. The average right -o` -way width will be approximately 38 meters (125 feet). Conductors will be non -reflective aluminum cables approxi- mately 2.2 cm (1 inch) in diameter (795 KCMIL ASCR). Overhead shield wires will be 0.825 cm (3/8 inch) extra high strehgth galvanized steel wire. .Insulators will be brown and gray porcelain suspension type.

The Rifle Substation will be expanded by the addition of one circuit breaker to the existing 138 kv facility. The circuit breaker will be added in the presently graded northwest corner of the yard. The proposed Battlement Mesa Substation will he a low profile facility with one 138-24.9 kv transformer and associated circuit breakers. Provisions will be made to easily facilitate future additions. An insulated metal building will be constructed for the control house. -21- IV. Affected Environment A. Location and General Description The Study Area for the proposed Rifle -Battlement Mesa 138 kv transmission line comprises roughly 240 square kilometers (93 square miles). It is located adjacent to and south of the Colorado River, generally between the towns of Rifle and Parachute (formerly Grand Valley) in Garfield County, Colorado. More than half of the Study Area is bounded on the south by the White River National Forest. The general location of. the Study Area is shown in Figure 1. The Study Area consists of several levels of mesas ascending from the Colorado River in relatively steep steps. Those lower mesas which are nearer the river are devoted to agricultural pur- poses, whereas the higher mesas nearer the White River National Forest are generally under Bureau of Land Management (BLM) juris- diction and are predominantly shrub or pinyon -juniper rangeland. None of the Study Area contains forested lands. Battlement Mesa, Inc., the major new community of some 1,250 hectares (3,090 acres) under development by Exxon Company USA, is located in the western end of the Study Area directly across the Colorado River from Parachute. -22- B. Topography The topography of the Study Area consists of an irregular series of mesas with fairly steep bases rising from the Colorado River to the foothills of Battlement Mesa in the White River National Forest. The lower elevations of approximately 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) above mean sea level are located on the Colorado River near Battlement Mesa. The higher elevations of approximately 2,900 meters (9500 feet) above mean sea level are found near Doghead Mountain in the southernmost part of the Study Area. The majority of the southern boundary lies at about 2,600 meters (8,500 feet) above mean sea level. The mesas are dissected by five streams and numerous washes created by intermittent streams. The major mesas in the Study Area (Morrisania, Holms, Taughenbaugh, Flatiron, and Grass) show distinct alluvial patterns and are located at elevations ranging from approximately 2,000 meters (6,550 feet) to 2,300 meters (7,550 feet) above mean sea level. -23- C. Soils The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture was consulted regarding soils in the Study Area. SCS lists four general soils associations in the area. Each association is mapped in Figure 4 and described in the following paragraphs. The Natargids - Haplargids - Camborthids association is located along the bank of the Colorado River. .These soils are warm, moderately deep to deep, and well drained. They can be found gently sloping to moderately steep. Generally located on the first mesa terrace south of the Colorado River is the Haplargids - Camborthids association. These soils are warm, deep, well drained, and nearly level to gently sloping. Most of the Study Area's agricultural lands are located on these soils. In the eastern half of the Study Area, the steep ascent to the upper mesas is indicative of the Haplargids - Torriorthents association. These are shallow, steep soils with slopes of 15 to 25 percent and marked by rock outcrops. Generally located at higher elevations on the upper mesas is the Argiborolls - Cryoborolls association. These soils are cool -24- 3d s.,.wa^' .' Glenwood Springs; , 31105 3.4:e. \. 0 5700 ' 91 Catd15 1 _ tele Lest El Jebel' Carbondale ��, :-WIT ; 1+ K�e7a03, RESERVt 3a C 3a ?

D. Hydrology The Study Area borders the Colorado River on the north, from approximately five kilometers (three miles) upstream from Rifl4 to approximately eight kilometers (five miles) downstream from Parachute. The Colorado River flows in a northeast -to -southwest direction from an elevation of approximately 1,600 meters (5,300 feet) above mean sea level at Rifle to nearly 1,540 meters (5,050 feet) above mean sea level near Battlement Mesa, Inc. The Study Area is traversed by five perennial streams which flow to the north, from the White River National Forest foothills into the Colorado River. These streams (Beaver, Porcupine, Spruce, Cache, and Battlement Creeks) have flows greater than 0.14 cubic meters per second (5 cubic feet per second) and therefore fall under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Each of these streams is mapped in Figure 1. Both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have been consulted to locate floodplains in the Study Area. Since their responses dealt only -25- with specific proposed project sites, information regarding floodplains is presented in Section V, Environmental Consequences of the Proposed Project. Until engineering plans for specific structures and fills have been prepared, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will not conduct wetlands determinations for sites where the transmission line will cross streams under Corps of Engineers jurisdiction. Colorado -Ute personnel have reviewed U.S. Geological Survey topographic quad sheets (7.5 -minute scale) and have conducted field reconnaissance to attempt to locate any wetlands near the proposed crossings of the five streams. No wetlands have been found. E. Vegetation The Bureau of Land Mangement (BLM) of the Department of the Interior has inventoried vegetation types found on public lands in the Study Area. Vegetation types are mapped in Figure 5. Three types of vegetation cover most of the Study Area: pinyon -juniper, desert shrub, and mountain, or mixed, shrub. The pinyon -juniper community is typically found on north- and west -facing slopes at elevations from 1,890 meters to 2,250 meters (6,200 feet to 7,400 feet). Understory plants for pinyon -juniper communities are typically bottlebrush, squirreltail, Indian ricegrass, and needle -and -thread grass.

Although small stands of deciduous trees exist in the Study Area, no forested lands are present. F. Wildlife The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior and the Colorado Division of Wildlife have been consulted to locate any major wildlife species in the Study Area. Elk and mule deer are found in the area. Maps of winter ranges for these species have been obtained from the Division of Wildlife and are presented as Figures 6 and 7. Large areas of critical winter range for deer occur near the Colorado River. Winter range for elk is on the upper mesas, with three small critical winter ranges in the southern part of the Study Area. Endangered bird species found- in the Study Area are the bald eagle and the peregrine falcon. The Colorado River corridor is a prime winter concentration area for bald eagles, which is mapped in Figure 8. Peregrine falcons have been observed in the past in the extreme southwestern corner of the Study Area. The Division of Wildlife has stated that a falcon nest area probably existed along Parachute Creek north of the Study Area, but with all the oil shale development underway in the creek basin, the possibility of peregrine falcons remaining in the area is very low. -27- SS - G rg _,..' r' , 1 sn.yn, • Glenwood Springs, r 31105 s, <.0 „Ts"; ' 91C40211i °, eme Creel - .112:-. 1\ ',; i° n Jebel .

Land Use Information presented in this subsection is derived from aerial photographs, U.S. Geological Survey Quad Sheets, Bureau of Land Management Surface Management and Resource Maps, Rifle -San Juan 345 kv Transmission Line Environmental Analysis, and site investigations by Colorado -Ute personnel. Tabulations of relative amounts of various land uses and ownerships are estimated and are used for comparison of alternatives and relative evaluation of project impacts. The Study Area.consists of approximately 2.4,300 hectares (60,000 acres). The majority of this land [roughly 78 percent, or 18,800 hectares (46,500 acres)] remains undeveloped, generally in shrub or pinyon -juniper rangeland. This rangeland lies to the south of the agriculturally developed lands nearer the Colorado River and consists primarily of rough, steep topography. Agricultural uses, predominantly hay pastures with some orchards, account for nearly 16 percent [some 3,800 hectares (9,400 acres)] of the total Study Area. -28- Battlement Mesa, Inc. is the only major residential development in the Study Area. When fully complete, it will comprise some five percent [1,200 hectares (3,000 acres)] of the total area. Several smaller residential developments are located directly south of Rifle. Remaining uses, including major transportation routes, utilities, and a small commercial development immediately south of Rifle, account for less than two percent of the total land area. A generalized map of land development (existing, platted, and proposed, including Battlement Mesa, Inc. in its entirety) is presented in Figure 9. The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture was consulted to obtain information regarding important farmlands in the Study Area. Only one small tract is considered nationally important prime farmland. Several other areas would be considered prime farmland if they were to be irrigated. Agricultural lands are mapped in Figure 10. -29- 1 1e 3e• 5.ese lei n.

BLM lands are generally located in the southern parts of the Study Area adjacent to the White River National Forest. No federally classified areas, such as wilderness areas, wilderness study areas, natural areas, wild and scenic rivers, national parks, national monuments, or national forests are located within the Study Area. H. Cultural Resources The Colorado State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the National Register of Historic Places were consulted to locate any sites of archaeological or historical significance in the Study Area.

At that time, any of the eight sites presently listed by the SHPO or any others discovered during the survey, which may he possibly impacted by the proposed project, will become the subject of appropriate mitigation measures as determined through consultation with the SHPO. I. Visual Resources The Bureau of Land Mangement (BLM) has developed and presently utilizes a program of Visual Resources Management (VRM). The program's purpose is to manage the quality of the visual environment and reduce the visual impact of development activities on BLM lands. Taking into account such factors as scenic quality, sensitivity level (based on the number of users and the users' attitudes), and the viewing distance, BLM has mapped VRM Management Classes for most public lands in the country. These classes are used to guide BLM and developers in determining acceptable levels of visual contrasts and developing visual mitigation measures for development activities. The following -31- classes have been established: Class 1: Pristine view; very limited activities allowed; contrasts cannot attract attention. Class 2: Activities and contrasts should not be evident or attract attention. Class 3: Activities and contrasts are evident, but must remain subordinate to exi,sting landscape. Class 4: Activities and contrasts will attract attention, but should repeat color, line, form, and texture of the landscape. Class 5: Areas where natural landscape has been greatly disturbed and there is potential for improving visual quality by new activities. Visual Resource Management classes for the Study Area are shown in Figure 12. The area near the Colorado River is Class 2. The major mesas are generally Class 4 and the upper foothills in the southern part of the Study Area are Class 3. No Class 1 areas are found in the Study Area. -32- 1 MSS 4. 6661.67.57:4-4,, Rafe Cap AGMS „ a rte. a, s.enis 1.• . e n. tae G AR f 1110( gpNne lelr uF Ata 0 New �ud'� "'5�r�- --; •• Glenwood Springs. 31110 544w• .5 sear \. n Carbondale WNJE MVER 9rgwmesJ• 9m vu. 1 N3rL FuR s.w.

General The proposed 138 kv transmission line is expected to have no major negative environmental impacts. Adherence to construction procedures designed to minimize erosion and vegetation removal will prevent major impacts on topography, soils, hydrology, vegetation, and fish species. Since construction normally does not occur during winter months due to weather constraints, the impact on deer and elk populations in the Study Area is not expected to be significant. The proposed transmission line route is generally outside of the winter concentration area for bald eagles; therefore, no major impact on bald eagles is expected. The transmission line route has been chosen to avoid agricultural and residential land uses and to minimize visual impacts by remaining close to bases of hills, thus avoiding prominent visual points. Summaries of anticipated environmental impacts of the pro- posed transmission line are provided in the following subsections. -33- B. Topography The topography of the Study Area will not be disturbed by the construction of the proposed project. Localized topographic changes will be made during the grading of access roads, excavation for structure foundations, and construction of the new substation near Battlement Mesa. Structures and access roads will not be located on unstable slopes. Permanent maintenance roads will be aligned and graded to conform to the natural landform. C. Soils Vegetation removal during construction will be minimized to prevent erosion problems. Where soil is exposed due to con- struction, terracing, diking, and cut filling will help prevent erosion. On public lands, where stipulated by the Bureau of Land Management, appropriate reseeding and restoration will be done. The proposed corridor was selected partly because of the number of available access roads, which range from county gravel roads to jeep trails. These roads will be used to the maximum extent possible to minimize road construction in presently un- disturbed areas. -34- D. Hydrology No rivers will be crossed by the proposed transmission line. Five perennial streams and several intermittent streams will be crossed. Once constructed, the transmission line will have no impact on hydrology. During construction, however, increased turbidity in streams can result from sediment runoff, especially where access roads cross streams. Some of the measures to be implemented to mitigate increased sediment loading on the streams are the following. Existing access roads will be used where possible to avoid constructing new stream crossings. Riparian vegetation will be left undisturbed. Fill materials will not be placed in streambeds or areas that drain directly into either perennial or intermittent streams. The requirements for stream crossings specified within the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide General Permit for Utility Line Crossings will be satisfied. The Corps of Engineers has been consulted regarding floodplains and wetlands in the Study Area. The proposed 3attlement Mesa Substation will not be located in the 100 -year floodplain. The Corps of Engineers has not conducted surveys of wetlands and floodplains along the five streams which will be crossed by the transmission line. In accordance with Corps suggestions, Colorado -Ute will inform the Corps of detailed plans for the placement of structures and fills near these streams and will work -35- with the Corps to mitigate any potential impacts on wetlands or floodplains. The length of the span between structures [approximately 150 to 250 meters (600 to 800 feet)] should be sufficient to eliminate any negative impacts on stream wetlands or floodplains due to the transmission line. E. Vegetation • Impact on vegetation is expected to be minimal. Amounts of specific types of vegetation to be impacted cannot be known exactly until rights-of-way are negotiated and purchased. Most of the line will cross low -height shrub or pinyon -juniper rangeland; removal of this vegetation for line right-of-way will be minimal. Some vegetation will be removed for construction of access roads. Federal lands will be re -vegetated according to SCS and BLM guidelines as stipulated in Environmental Criteria for Electric Transmission Systems. No endangered plant species are found in the Study Area. Maintenance personnel will need to enter the transmission line right-of-way once or twice a year to perform routine maintenance or inspection. Inspection will be performed while the ground is dry or frozen to minimize negative impacts on vegetation. Re -vegetation will be done if vegetation is damaged during emergency or storm -36- repairs. Public access to rights-of-way will be regulated according to the landowner's desires. Vegetation will be permanently removed from the Battlement Mesa Substation site. Re -growth will be prevented by a surfacing of crushed rock. The substation site will comprise approximately 0.8 hectares (2 acres). F. Wildlife The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior and the Colorado Division of Wildlife have been consulted to locate ranges of wildlife species that might be impacted by the proposed project and to review construction techniques that may be utilized to mitigate negative impacts on those species. The area near the Colorado River is a winter concentration area for bald eagles (see Figure 8), which, in addition to other raptors (birds of prey), sometimes utilize transmission line structures to nest, roost, and base hunting activities. Possible electrocution of these birds is a recognized concern, although the most serious danger is usually associated with the smaller structures of 69 kv (or less) distribution lines. The structures for the proposed line will be designed with adequate separation between conductors and grounding wires to prevent electrocution of -37- birds. The proposed route is located generally outside of the bald eagle winter concentration area, which serves to further mitigate impacts on the bald eagle population. In order to mitigate possible impacts on endangered fish species located in the Colorado River downstream of the Study Area, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has recommended that steps be taken to minimize sedimentation in streams crossed by access roads. Those steps, discussed in Section V. D. Hydrology and implemented in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nationwide. General Permit for Utility Line Crossings, should adequately protect the species of concern (Colorado River squawfish and humpback chub). The proposed transmission line will pass through important winter habitat areasfor mule deer and elk. Operation of the line should have no impact on these species. Some construction impacts will occur, but should not be great because herd concentrations occur during the winter months when construction is generally restricted due to weather. Additionally, big game species have good mobility and can avoid localized construction sites. Reduction of winter habitat due to increased access to the utility corridor is a recognized concern. However, existing access roads will be used where possible to mitigate this concern. The reduction of winter habitat from the transmission line is minimal -38- when compared to that lost because of the Battlement Mesa development and that which may be lost because of the proposed Rifle Winter Sports Area. Evident in Figure 6 is the fact that the existing PSCo 230 kv transmission line corridor traverses as much, or more, critical winter'range for mule deer as does the proposed corridor. G. Land Use The proposed route has been chosen to minimize any adverse effects of the transmission line on land uses. Residential and agricultural uses have been avoided to the maximum extent practicable. The expansion at the Rifle Substation will occur on Colorado -Ute property and will not alter the present use at the site. Approximately 0.8 hectares (2.0 acres) of unused, open space will be changed to accommodate the new Battlement Mesa Substation. Each pole structure will essentially eliminate the present use at its immediate location; approximately 5 to 6 structures per kilometer ( 8 to 10 structures per mile) will be required. The immediate area of impact for each structure will be limited to an area approximately 13 meters by 30 meters (40 feet by 100 feet), so the impact on land use is expected to be minimal. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been consulted regarding possible impact on air traffic. When specific -39- rights-of-way are determined, further consultation will take place for compliance with FAA regulations for locating structures to ensure air traffic safety. The Colorado Division of Wildlife will be notified of the location of the exact transmission line route for comparison with its Quadrat census transects. Hazard markers will be placed on transmission lines and structures where required. H. Cultural Resources The Battlement Mesa Cemetery, a state -listed historical site, is located approxi -mately 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) from the proposed transmission line and will of be impacted. Eight additional sites within the Study Area are considered by 'the Colorado State Historic Preservation Officsr (SHPO) to be eligible for inclusion in the National Register. After the right-of-way Eor the proposed transmission line is defined, an archaeological field survey will be conducted. At that time, any of the eight sites presently listed by the SHPO or any others discovered during the survey, which are determined to be possibly impacted by the proposed project will become the subject of appropriate mitigation measures as determined through consultation with the SHPO. -40- I. Visual Resources The preferred route of the proposed transmission line was chosen in part because it is visually well -hidden. Located generally at the southern edge of the major mesas near the bases of the higher foothills, visual impact is minimal from the area's main viewing point, which is Interstate 70. The majority of the proposed route is located within BLM Visual Resource Management Class 4 areas, which allows a relatively high degree of visual contrast by development activities. -41- APPENDIX The following organizations were consulted during the preparation of this Borrower's Environmental Report.

Garfield County is a participant in the regular phase of the National Flood Insurance Program. We have reviewed the Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Flood Boundary Floodway Maps for Garfield County and have determined the alignment of your proposed 138 kV line does not cross any streams with a defined special flood hazard area. The Colorado -Ute Electric Association should, however, be sensitive to the threat of occasional flooding on all streams spanned by the 138 kV Transmission Line. We recommend that placement of transmission towers be avoided in those areas of the stream where the flood hazard would be considered the highest, i.e., where the flood depths and/or velocities would be the greatest.

Box 1149 Montrose, Colorado 814.02 Dear Mr. Shanfelt: This is in response to your August 7, 1981, Information Gathering and Constraint Identification notice for the Rifle to Battlement Mesa 138 kV transmission line in Garfield County, Colorado. Your notice was addressed to Mr. Derell P. Thompson of the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service (HCRS). You should be aware that as of May 31, 1981, HCRS is no longer a separate entity of the Department of the Interior. Their major functions were transferred and consolidated into the National Park Service (NPS). Based on a review of the notice and attached maps, we have determined that the proposed transmission line would not have impacts or potential impacts on any present, proposed, or potential unit of the National Park System or any other areas or features where the NPS has program responsi- bilities. Since no areas of concern to the NPS will be affected, we cannot recommend other corridors within the study area which should be considered. We do offer two suggestions. First, we recommend early and continued coordination with State and local park officials. This will allow you to identify existing recreation areas in the earliest stages of project planning, which in turn will permit modification of the proposed project to minimize adverse effects and/or incorporate features to enhance recreation opportunities. In Colorado, we suggest that you contact: George T. O'Malley, Sr., Director, Division of Parks and Outdoor Recreation, Department of Natural Resources, 1313 Sherman Street - Room 618, Denver, Colorado 80203. We also suggest that you contact the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) to determine if any properties listed on or eligible for the National Register are located within the affected areas. In addition, the SHPO can advise on the adequacy of present knowledge of cultural resources in the areas to be affected, as well as the type and level of resource inventory that may be needed. If the SHPO indicates that a survey is needed, we suggest that it be undertaken early in the planning process and determinations of eligibility for the National Register of Historic Places obtained for any resources which might be affected. The SHPO for Colorado is: Arthur C. Townsend, State Historic Preservation Officer, Colorado Heritage Center, 1300 Broadway, Deriver, Colorado 80203.

Shanfelt Environmental Supervisor, Planning and Resource Control Division Colorado -Ute Electric Association, Inc. P.O. Box 1149 Montrose, CO 81402 Dear Mr. Shanfelt: Your letter of August 7, 1981, addressed to Mr. Don W. Minnich, requesting recommendations and comments on your proposed project in regard to endan- gered species, wetlands, and other areas of concern, has been forwarded to this office for response. As stated in your letter, th,-. Colorado -Ute Electric Association, Inc. plans to construct a 138,000 volt transmission line from its existing substation southeast of Rifle to a new Colorado -Ute substation located at Battlement Mesa, Garfield County, Colorado. Endangered species that may be found in the study area include the bald eagle, peregrine falcon, humpback chub, and the Colorado River squawfish. The bald eagle is found in the study area during the late fall, winter and early spring while the falcon may be found in the area during the fall and spring migration period. In recent years, much attention has been given, especially in the West, to the protection and enhancement of raptor popu- lations with respect to power lines. Golden eagles, although not endangered or threatened, may also perch on the distribution poles. Consequently, golden eagles as well as bald eagles have become primary victims of death by electro- cution. In view of the numerous concentrations of eagles in the study area, we recommend that all distribution lines be constructed according to procedures specified in the Rural Electrification Administration Bulletin 61-10, "Protection of Bald and Golden Eagles from Power Lines," in an effort to re- duce raptor electrocutions. We recommend placement of the substation unit outside the 100 -year floodplain to preserve the riparian community adjacent to the Colorado River. It is imperative that this greenbelt be left free from alteration. A diverse and continuous riparian -vegetative complex is essential to maintain the vitality of the aquatic and riparian community within the Colorado River corridor. Since the Colorado squawfish and the humpback chub occur in the downstream areas of the Colorado River below the study area, efforts should be taken to minimize soil Donald Y. Shanfelt Page 2 erosion and sedimentation in active tributary streams (Beaver Creek, Cache Creek, Battlement Creek, etc.) and other water bodies crossed by or near the transmission line right-of-way. Problems of erosion and sedimentation can be minimized by (1) leaving undisturbed as much of the original vegetation as possible in building access roads, constructing the lines and carrying out maintenance operations; (2) stabilizing as quickly as possible, by revegetation, the disturbed areas (consideration should be given to plants valuable for wildlife food and cover); and (3) avoiding construction of lines across valuable wetlands or other water areas and relocating poles or towers to avoid wet areas. The proposed transmission corridor will run through important deer/elk winter and spring concentration areas. Construction activities during this period could disrupt normal behavior of elk and mule deer populations during this critical stage of their life cycle. Winter/spring ranges are sensitive to con- struction activities because of their scarcity and higher intensity of use by big game animals. Animals distributed over thousands of acres at high elevation during the summer are forced by increasing snow depths to travel downslope as winter sets in. They move down through spring -fall ranges and by mid -winter, are concentrated into smaller, more restricted areas at lower elevation. Con- sequently, the number of animals per unit area is much greater than on summer ranges. Since the study area does lie within important big game concentration areas, the proposed transmission line corridor is not our preferred alignment. We would prefer that the new line follow the existing Public Service Company of Colorado 230kV line. Deer/elk populations displaced from their normal winter range and spring browse areas frequently result in private property damage to haystacks, fences and crops. Proper timing of construction will minimize impacts to elk and mule deer populations while present on winter/spring ranges. In summary, the Colorado River and its associated riparian vegetation provide important bald eagle wintering habitat. Aquatic resources of concern include two endangered fish species, the Colorado River squawfish and the humpback chub. Big game populations inhabit the study area during the winter and early spring periods. Summer construction activities would produce the least amount of disturbance on the bald eagle and big game populations. Timing of construction should be coordinated with the Colorado Division of Wildlife. If we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Areas of concern include wintering deer and elk, electrocution of raptors, and places where the line may overlap the DOtW's Quadrat census transects. These concerns can be minimized by limiting con- struction during critical winter periods (December 1 March 31) for deer and elk and by reclaiming construction roads that are not needed for maintainance. Since the proposed line crosses an area heavily used by raptors and electrocution is a potential problem, I am enclos- ing a copy of Suggested Practices for Raptor Protection on Powerlines. When an exact route Is determined, it needs to be checked against the Division's Quadrat census map. Any areas of overlap should have visual markers installed on the transmission line to avoid helicopter - transmission line collisions. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the proposed project. If we can be of further assistance, please contact me.

The result of this file search is indicated below: ( ] There are no documented cultural properties in the area of impact of the proposed undertaking. Information regarding previously documented resources in these areas is attached. These resources have not been evaluated for inclusion in the National Register. However, they must be considered to be Eligible for inclusion in the National Register until a formal determination has been completed. [ ] Information regarding cultural resources pending nomination to or on the National Register of Historic Places in the proposed project area is attached. Our files contain incomplete information for this area as the vast majority of Colorado has not been inventoried. There is the possibility that as yet uniden— tified Cultural Resources exist within the proposed impact area. Therefore, we recommend that the federal agency conduct a professional survey to identify any Eligible Cultural Resources in the proposed project area. We anticipate consultation with this office regarding the Effect of the proposed project on any Eligible resource in accordance with the Advisory Council Procedures for the Preservation and Protection of Historic and Cultural Resources (36 CFR 800). Please provide this office with the results of the survey for our review of professional adequacy and compliance. Arthur C.

Box 1149 Montrose, Colorado 81402 RE: Additional Delivery Point near Parachute, Colorado on Battlement Mesa Dear Mr. Bugas: Relative to our conversation on 7-31-81, following is the additional information regarding our present loads in the Battlement Mesa area: 1. The 1/0 ACSR 14.4/24.9 kv circuit going west out of the Colorado -Ute Rifle substation presently is serving 263 rural customers exclusive of the new Battlement Mesa Village development. 2. In the Battlement Mesa Village development, we connected the first new meter about mid April, 1981. As of 7-31-81, we have connected 383 new consumers in the Village development area alone, for a total of 646 consumers now being served from the Rifle West circuit. Construction is proceeding at a rapid pace on our underground dis- tribution system within Battlement Mesa and new customers are being connected on a daily basis. As a result of this, it would appear that the projected consumer additions per our letter dated 7-24-81 are valid. Please advise if you need Sincerely, HOLY CROSS ELECT Edward L.

It operates on a non-profit basis and pro- vides wholesale electric power and energy on an all -requirements basis to thirteen member distribution cooperatives whose service territories encompass approximately one-half the land of Colorado. Colorado -Ute plans to construct a 138,000 volt (138 kV) trans- mission line from its existing substation southeast of Rifle to a new Colorado -Ute substation located at Battlement Mesa, a develop- ment of Exxon Company USA. This transmission line will be used to serve the load growth of Colorado-Ute's member system, Holy Cross Electric Association, Inc. (see Attachments). The first attachment identifies the study area and possible corridor for the proposed project. In general, the new line will follow the existing Public Service Company of Colorado 230 kV line. In accordance with the Rural Electrification Administration pro- cedures, Colorado -Ute requests input from Garfield County Planning in its area of expertise and responsibility (particularly regarding land use) as to the suitability of the proposed corridors for the 138 kV transmission line. We are interested in obtaining information about the area and locations and boundaries of areas of concern that could be affected by the proposed project. In addition, if other within the study area should be considered, please identify corriders them. r AUG 0 8 1981 UL' GARFIELD CO.

Box 1149 Montrose, Colorado 81402 Telephone (303) 249-4501 TWX 910-929-6924 October 20, 1981 HAND CARRIED Mr. Larry Valasquez, Chairman Garfield County Board of Commissioners P. 0. Box 640 Glenwood Springs, CO 81602 Dear Mr. Valasquez: Application for Special Use Permit Proposed Rifle -Battlement Mesa 138 kv Transmission Line Colorado -Ute Electric Association, Inc. (Colorado -Ute) is a rural electric generation and transmission cooperative associa- tion, owned by and serving the total electric power needs of its fourteen retail distribution cooperative members. One of Colorado-Ute's member systems, Holy Cross Electric Association, Inc. (Holy Cross) will be serving the new Town of Battlement Mesa. In order to fulfill its statutory and contractual responsibilities to meet the electrical needs of Holy Cross, Colorado Ute proposes to construct a 138 kilovolt transmission line between Rifle and Battlement Mesa and a 138-25 kilovolt Substation at Battlement Mesa. This letter transmits Colorado Ute's Special Use Permit Application for this transmission line and substation. These facilities are needed for the following reasons: 1. Holy Cross presently serves the Battlement Mesa area by a 25 kilovolt distribution line originating at Colorado- Ute's Rifle Substation. Development now underway at Battlement Mesa will increase the loading on Holy Cross' existing facilities such that they will be near or at capacity during the winter of 1982. Completion of the proposed transmission line will allow Holy Cross to meet its increased electric loading requirements. Mr. Larry Valasquez -2- October 20, 1981 2. Alternatives to the proposed line, including constructing additional distribution lines, or tapping the Public Service Company of Colorado (Public Service) 230 kilovolt line have been considered. Multiple distribution circuits would be required to equal the capacity of the proposed 138 kilovolt line. Energy losses are generally much higher on lines of lesser voltage. Because of the higher cost of a 230 kilovolt -25 kilovolt stepdown sub- station, it is not practical to connect to the existing 230 kilovolt line every few miles to serve intervening loads. Further, Public Service may uprate their existing 230 kilovolt line for 345 kilovolt operation, which would further increase the cost of adding such substations. Presently, there is no subtransmission system in the 115/138 kilovolt range between Rifle and Battlement Mesa. Construction of the proposed line will make it possible to create a subtransmission system to serve the Battle- ment Mesa area, as well as other loads that may require service, such as the proposed Rifle Ski Area. In addition, the proposed 138 kilovolt line is capable of providing a backup source of electrical power in the area. Uprating of the Public Service 230 kilovolt line would probably require that it be temporarily removed from service. If interconnected to the Public Service system, the proposed 138 kilovolt line could serve the area while this work is being done. 3. The established subtransmission voltage in northwestern Colorado is 138 kilovolts. The Western Area Power Administration established a 138 kilovolt transmission lines in northwestern Colorado in the early 1960's. Shortly thereafter, Colorado -Ute constructed a subtrans- mission system from Hayden to Montrose which has the capability to operate at 138 kilovolts. The Hayden - Rifle portion of this line is currently operated at 138 kilovolts including a major substation at Rifle. In order to increase its transmission system capacity, Colorado -Ute plans to operate the Rifle -Grand Junction portion (presently operated at 115 kilovolts) at 138 kilovolts in the near future. Furthermore, a number of additions to this system are in the planning and devel- opment stages. The White River Electric Association, Inc. (White River) recently completed a 138 kilovolt line to the C -b oil shale tract from the Meeker Switch- ing Station. The Moon Lake Electric Association is serving the C -a oil shale track at 138 kilovolts. The proposed Rifle -Battlement Mesa 138 kilovolt line would be Mr. Larry Valasquez -3- October 20, 1981 an important link in a system capable of serving new loads in the Garfield and Mesa County areas west of Rifle. Reasons for proposal are set forth in more detail in the enclosed impact statement for the proposed transmission line, entitled Borrower's Environmental Report. Two (2) copies of the Borrower's Environmental Report, which include vicinity maps are enclosed, in compliance with Section 5.03.07 of the Garfield County Zoning Resolution. In addition, in compliance with Section 9.03.01 of the Resolution, one set of USGS quad sheets assembled on cardboard backing with a clear mylar overlay attached, showing the route of the proposed line, the names of the owners of the property crossed by the line, and other features, is also enclosed. For your convenience, four blue -line prints made from the mylar map are enclosed as well. The line route is depicted as precisely as possible at this time. Landowner negotiations may result in some minor rerouting. You will be promptly notified of any change which may affect a new property owner. Also enclosed is an address list of the affected owners, a completed application form for a special use permit for the proposed 138 kilovolt line including a practical description of the proposed route, and Colorado-Ute's check number 127954 dated October 6, 1981, in the amount of $500.00, as required by Section 9.03.02 of the zoning resolution. Please let me know if further information is required or de- sired. I will be calling the Garfield County Planning Department soon to discuss whether a meeting to review this application is desired.
