Dear Richard:
Thank you for the subject easement you granted Colorado-Ute
yesterday.
To confirm our understanding of yesterday and today regarding
the access roads, Colorado-Ute will construct the agreed-upon roads
to the following specifications:
Access across Sections 22 and 27 (the access
leaving from and returning to the BLM adminis-
tered property) will be constructed as overland
travel. This access will basically follow an
existing trait and upon completion of construc-
tion the access will be restored to its present
condition. The attached copy of an aerial photo-
graph highlighted in yeI1ow, will give you a better
idea of this access.
The new access roads crossing above Ramsey Gulch and
providing access to our easement on the west side of
Ramsey Gulch will be pioneered to a 2O-foot wide road
width with additional 3-feet wide ditches on each side
of the road. Although Colorado-Uters easement will only
be the actual road width of 20 feet, the road and its
drainage ditches will be 26 feet in width.
The new access road following your development plan to
your tracts 47 and 48 will be pioneered to a 2O-foot
width with additional 3-feet wide ditches on each side.
Here again the total road width will be 26 feet.
Mr. Richard E. Rudloph -2-March 19, 1985
The new access road between your tracts 47 and 48
leading to the BLM administered land west of tract 47
will also be 20 feet in width with 3-feet wide ditches
on each side.
If
The access road across the west end of tract
be overland travel using an existing trail.
you have any questions upon your return, please
Very truty yours ,
48 will
contact me.

Dear Richard:
colorado-ute has completed the access road survey work onGrass llesa (GM) and the archaerogicar work is rn its finar stages.we hope to start construction of the access roads shortry afterthe lst of June, based upon our permit for construction berngapproved by the responsible Federar government agency.
on t4ay Br 1985, Larry and I inspected the access road surveywork and agreed upon the followrng:
The access otf the Jewerr- property through GM LotsrA and 2 wirr be kept to overland traver- utir izing theshortest accesslbre route possibre to minimize thedisturbance. To further rimit our time in this area andto assist you in compacting your newry pioneered road tothese rots, Larry has authorized equipment traver overthis road.
Access across Ramsey GuLch will be by route of theexisting jeep trail which we will upgrade to give youimproved access. The upgrade wil_l include a culvertwhere the run-off in Ramsey Gulch now crosses the road.
From Ramsey Gulch to the GM Lots in the northwestcorner of the devel0pmentr w€ wirl folrow the exrstingroad a]ong the ridge that bisects GM Lots I g and 20 . wedo not intend to straighten t.his section of road as to

wou'ld have a nomina'l capacity of about 500 megawatts and which would run
from the Rifle Substation of Co'lorado-Ute to the San Juan Generating
Station located in northwestern New Mex'ico. It wou'ld be apjroximately
,275 mi'les in iength, and woujd go through nine counties in western
Colorado and one county in New Mexico. It wou'ld have termination and
substation facilities. It wi'l'l proceed genera'l'ly from Rifle to Grand
Junction to De'lta to Montrose to Norrood to cortez to Durango and then to
New Mexico. It is proposed that it wi'll connect with existing substation
and termination facilities near Ri1e, Grand Junction and Montrose, and
also to have substations at Lost Canyon near Cortez and Long Hoi]ow near
Durango. A'lthough it was stated in the originai app'lication that a
substation woujd be located near Norwood, tirat proposal was withdrawn' A
substation would not be located near Norwood until the'load in the
Nonrood area from the San Miguel Power Association wou'ld require the
construction of a substation in that'location. The Proiect is shown as

when bui'lt.
THE PURPOSE OF AND NEED FOR THE PRO]ECT
t5. Colorado-Ute states that the purpose of the project is to
provide adequate transmission'capacity to serve its members in
southwestern Coiorado. Coiorado-Ute states that it has insufficient
transmission capacity with vlhich to serve its 'loads in southwestern
Co'lorado, and that it has been reiying on capacity beionging to I'IAPA to
provide service.
'16. !,IAPA desires to participate in Phase I to provide for
system stabi'lity and reliability, and to provide capacity for energy
transacti ons.
17. Public Service desires to participate in the line from
Rifle to Grand Junction because 6rand Junction is presently an iso'lated
radial system and Pub'lic Service desires the capacity for system
reliability, to provide service in the case of outages and for voltage
support in the Grand Junction area.
.18. The nominal capacity of the proposed line is expected to be
about 500 megawatts. As noted above, U18 capacity entitlements in the
line will be 25% to Pubiic Service and 37 1/2% each to Co'lora.do-Ute and
HAPA between Rifle and Grand Junction. Frorl Grand Junction south
Co]erado-Ute and ITIAPA wi'l't each have 50? of the capaci ty. Publ ic Service
-1 0-
will have approximately 125 megawatts of transfer capabijity hetveen
Rif'le and Grand Junction while Colorado-Ute and'TJAPA would each have
approximately 187.5 megawatts of transfer capability between those
points. From Grand Junction south, Colorado-Ute and I.IAPA would each have
approximately 250 megawatts of capacity in the line-
.l9. Colorado-Ute bases its contention that it needs for the
proposed line upon Ure power requirements of its southwest members,
including gelta-Montrose, Ernpire, La Plata, Grand Val'ley Rural Power
Lines., and San Miguei Power Association, Inc. The transmission capacity
Colorado-Ute has at the present to serve those loads consists of a j'15 KV
Transmi ssi on Li ne runni ng frorn Ri fl e through southwest Co'l orado. The
capacity of that line is approximately 50 megawatts. Colorado-Ute also
has certain generating capacity in soutiwest Colorado. Colorado-Ute
rates the reasonably availab'le generating capacfty fn southwest Co'lorado
through .I983 at 50 megawatts, and at 64 megawatts after .1984 because of
additional capacity expected to be operationa'l at the Tacoma-Hydro
Plant. Colorado-Ute's position on the capacity of its generating
facilities in southwest Co]orado is reasonab'le, and wil'l be accepted for
purposes of this proceeding. Therefore, it is found that Colorado-Ute
presently has avai'lable 50 megawatts of transmission capacity and 50
megawatts of generating capacity that it can rely on, and that from .I984
fonrard it will have an add'itional l4 megawatts of generating capacity,
for a total of 114 megawatts of capacity to meet the 'loads in
southwestern Colorado. It is projected that, during '1983 the demand of
the 5 southwest members wili reach 180 megawatts, that during 1985 the
demand wijl reach 226 megawatts and during .1990 it wi1l reach 3ll
megawatts. Thus, by .l990 Colorado-Ute's existing capacity will by '197
megawatts short of meeting the demand of Colorado-Uters southwest
members. The projections of demand are found to be reasonab'le for this
proceedi ng.
-'lt-
20. !,IAPA presently has a 230 KY Transm'iss'ion Line from Rifle tc
the San Juan area that runs through southwestern Co'lorado' It is
i nterconnected wi th co] orado-ute' s 'r 'r 5 Ky rransmi ssi on Li ne. Together,
these two lines constitute the transmission system through southwestern
co.rorado. The only way that co'rorado-ute has been ab]e to serve its'load
in the southweste:^n part of the State has been by relying on the capacity
in I,IAPA,s l ine. colorado-ute does not have a contractual right to do
this,however,WAhastakenthepositionthatitwi'l]a'l'low

Ernpire's service territory. It is projected tjrat this load wil'l require
service beginning in '1984 of approximateiy 22 megawatts' and that it will
increase to 25 megawatts in'1985 and to approximately 65 megawattS in
1990. The evi dence i n thi s proceedi ng estab'l i shes that Empi re, La P'l ata
and Delia-Montrose are al'l experiencing significant prob'lems due to the
lack of sufficient capacity to provide service to them' The problems
encountered are vol tage f'l uctuati ons and re] i abi i i ty prob'lems rel ated to
lack of sufficient capacity to provide for their needs' Excessive 'line
losses are also being encountered'
-12-
23. public Service provides electric service to the Grand
Junction area. It is an isolated system with a 230 KV Transmission Line
tying it to tlre interconnected grid system, and 90 megawatts of
generation capacity in the area. Pub'lic Service estimates that its'load
yest of its Cameo Power Station in the Grand Junction area in the'1995
Utrough .|997 time frame wiJ'l be approximately i65 megawatts. Since Grand
Junction is an isolated system, Public Service analyzed the situation on
Ure basis of having 2 facilities out of service, name'ly the 230 KV
Tr:ansmission Line and the largest generator at tfre Cameo Plant. If both
of these facilit'ies were out service there would only be 40 megawatts
available to serve the load. The'125 megawatts of its share of t\is iine
added to the 40 megawatts wou'ld al'low it to serve its Grand Junction'toad
in the 1995 to 1997 time frame. The likelihood of both of these
faci'lities being out at the same time is very small.
24. There is a need for additional transmission capacity to
serve loads in southwestern Co]orado. There is a need for additional
transmission capacity to improve system reliabi'lity and to improve the
level of service avaiiable to consumers in southwestern Colorado.
Additional transmission capacity in southwestern Colorado wou'ld also
provide the capability for energy transfers.
25. The forecast used and found to be reasonable takes into
account the effects of conservation. Colorado-Ute does not expect small
power producers to suppiy any considerab'le amount of the power in the
southwestern part of the State, and that in fact they will supply less
than l0? of what wi]'l be needed.
TT{E OPEMTIONAL FEASIBILITY OF TI.IE PROPOSAL
?6. The evidence presented in this proceeding, by Applicants,
by Interveno!^s, and by Staff, out1'ined various potential alternative
-t 3-
solutjons to provide acidi"iona'l transmission capacity to make up for the
.lack of transmiss.ion capac'ity that exists in southwestern Co1orado.
Col orado-Ute consi dered severa'l a'l ternati ves to the proposed 'l i ne,
however, Colorado-Ute on'ly looked at alternatives that wou'ld meet a
.l imi ted set of criteri a. The a] ternatives out'l i ned by Intervenors and
Staff, were suggesiions of possible ways to provide more transmission
capacity for southwestern Co]orado or to prov'ide a possible path for
energy transfers. The feasibility and detai'ls of these alterna'uives were
not established by the evidence. in some cases the evidence showed that
the ajternative proposal by itse'lf would not provide sufficient
additional capacity to e'liminate the:problem that exists in southwestern
co]orado. In other cases the proposa'l was merely specuiative in that it
wou'ld depend uPon consiruction of other future projects' Most of these
a.lternatives would be the responsibi'l'ity of one utility rather than being
a coordinated project of severa'l utilities'
?7. AppliCdIl.r,S in thiS case presented evidence that they
considered alternatives ulat wou'ld meet their requirements, and that they
seiected their best a.lternative. It would be unreasonabre to require the
Applicants to anticipate and refute every possible a'lternative' It
shoujd be enough that other alternatives which could become part of the
proposed long term so'lution have been eva'luated from an engineering and
economic perspective and found not to be as good a so'lution as the one
proposed.TheAPp.licantshavedonethatinthiscase.
?8. The proposed transmission line wi1l meet the needs of the
Applicants into at'least the early 1990',s. it is a viable coordinated
solution to the inadequacy of the present system to provide capacity for
serving southwestern Colorado, and it also provides a path for transfers
of power between co]orado and poinq-]in the southwest and west' It is
-'14-
coordinated between three entities, and will minimize the construction of
maior facilities in southwestern Colorado. It is an operationally
feasible solution to the probiems that exist.
THE FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSAL
29. I{APA has received funds for its share of the proposed line.
30. Public Services's estimated cost to complete its share of
the project is approximately $8,500,000. Public Service intends to
finance its share by a combination of interna'l and external sources or
funds. Pub'lic Service has the financial abi'lity and resources to finance
the project. It is financially feasib'le for Public Service, especialiy
ln view of tJre fact that this project wi'll require a substantially
smaller outlay than one independently developed by Pub'lic Service to
provi de addi ti onal transmi ssion faci'l i ti es for Pub'l i c Servi ce' s Grand
Junction load.
31. It is estimated that the Co1orado-Ute share of the project
wi'll be approximately $70.4 mi'll ion. Colorado-Ute intends to borrow all
of the funds necessary to fund its portion of the project. At December
3'l , .l982 Coiorado-Ute's equity was $l ,926,262. Its 'long-term debt was
$856,5.I8,899. Adding the cost of the Colorado-Ute share to this would
increase its long-term debt to approximately $936,904,899. -This would
change its capital structure fron .22% equity and 99.78% debt to .21%
equ'ity and 99.79? debt. For the t*e'lve months ended December 31 , .l982
Colorado-Ute had operating margins of 54,808,086 and non operating
margins of $923,074. Co]orado-Ute has prov'ided an exhibit, which was
admitted into evidence as Exhibit No. 15, which shows that with the rate
increase effective December 1, I982 that Co'lorado-Ute wi'll be able to
support the proposed transmission 'line without a rate increase.
Co1orado-Ute would expect to obtain 90% of its requirements under the
-]5-
guaranteed 'i oan program of
"he
Rural El ectri f i cati on Admi n i stra-"'ion w'i '"h
the Federa'l Financing Bank as the lender. It expects to obtain the
remaining i0% from the Nationa'l Rura'l Utiiities Cooperative Finance
Corporation, corrnonly referred to as CFC. Co'lorado-Ute has a conrnitment
from CFC, and expects approva'l of its loan application to REA once the
REA compietes the environmental process'
3?. The project is financially feasib'le for the participants,
with the limitations noted in the fo1'lowing poriions of this Decision-
OTHER I'IATTERS
33. It has been argued in this proceeding that the transmission
system reliability problem, voltage'leve'ls, stability prob'lems, and'line
Josses do not estab'lish a need for this particu'lar proposed project. it
is true that the ou'r,ages shown by the evidence tend to indicate that the
lines have not been out much on a percentage basis' There was evidence
that outages may be increasing. It has also been argued that other
so'lutions may be appropriate to so]ve these problems, and it has been
argued that the projections concerning demands in the southwest area are
f.lawed in that additiona'l capacity will be provided by small Power
product.ion and a reduction in demand wf]l be, or cou'ld be, caused by
conservation, 'load management and price e'lasticity' A'11 of these matters
have been considered by the Applicants. Any disagreement that exists
concerns the magnitude of the effect of these matters. The App'licants
proposai to solve the problems that exist is a reasonable, viab'le,
feasibie so]ution. The a'lternatives suggested were not shown to be
superior to the proposai of the Applicants'
34. A recurring theme during the hearing in tlris Application
concerned the Shell C02'load. Shell is deve'loping a C02 field in the
service teryitory of Empire. This'load wi'll be served by Empire' The
-i6-
facilit.ies to serve Shell are being constructed by Empire pursuant to a
certificate of public convenience and necessity issued by this Conrnission
and are being paid for by Shell. See Exhibit 55. Exhibit 5 shows Lhat
Lhis load is projected to amount to 22 megawatts in '1984 and to increase
to 52 n'legawatts in l99l . A large number of the pub'lic witnesses
suggested that they should not be required to pay for a facility to serve
Shell. Several times there was a suggestion that She'll should shoulder a
percentage of tire cost of the transrnission line which is the subiect'
matter of tJris Appticatlon. The eviCence presented in this matter
. establishes that Shell wiil be a customer of Empire and wi1l be treated
'like any otier industrial load of a distribution cooperative. The
evidence aiso estabtishes that there is a need for the subiect
transmission line whether or not the proposed Shell load is considered,
and that it wou'ld be proposed by the Appiicants even in the absence of
the Shel'l Ioad. This proposa'l relates to tlre bu1k transmission system
which serves distribution cooperatives, and ft would be inappropriate to
pick out one customer of a distribution system and require that customer
to contribute funds for Ure construction of the bulk transmission
system. If such a procedure were to be followed, an assessment should be
made against each and every customer that wouid benefit from the addition
to the bulk transmission system, which wouid include al'l custorners in
southwestern Co]orado. The evidence is clear that Shell is in fact
paying for those faci'tities constructed especially for it and that other
consumers in southwestern Co]orado wi'lj not be asked to pay for the
faci'lities designed iust to serve Shell.
35. The argument has been advanced ihat sufficient alternatives
were not consfdered by Applicants, and that sufficient study was not
g'iven to alternatives. A number of alternatives were pointed out during
' the hearing. The evidence establishes that a number of alternatives were
studied by Colorado-Ute, some 'less extensively than others. The evidence
establ'ishes that none of the a1ternati\/es pointed out at the hearing were
-17 -
superior to the proposa'l of the Appf icants. It would be unreasonab'le
reject this Application on the basiS that there are a number of
a'lternatives that cou]d possibly help meet the needs that have been
established by the evidence in this case at some possible time in the
future, when those a'lternatives have not been shown to be superior to
proposa'l of APPI i cants.
the
36. There yrere assertions in this proceeding that Colorado-Ute
wil'l not be able to absorb the financia'l impact of this project a'long
with the financia'l impact of Craig 3. There were a'lso contentions that
rate increases might be required. tdolorado-Ute takes the position that
it wil'l be able to meet the financial burden of both projects without
requiring a rate increase. It has submitted exhibits showing the effect
of these projects and that it wi'li still be in a positive margin position
after they are on line. The evidence does establish that this project
and Craig 3 will have an impact on the financial Position of
co]orado-ute, however the evidence viewed as whole estab'lishes that
colorado-ute wi]'l be abie to meet the financial burden without undue rate
relief and that it is financialiy feasib'le for colorado-ute to
participate in this Project-
37. The Staff has proposed that certain conditions be placed on
any certificate to be issued in this proceeding. Applicants oPpose an
imposition of conditions. one condition proposed by Staff was that al'l
participants participate in the line. Since the elimination of any
participant could materially alter the financia'l feasibility of this
project, such condition will b. "iaronab1e. Another condition proposed
by Staff was that Co1orado-Ute be required to use funds from the CFC and
the FFB or both. This wou'ld prevent Co]orado-Ute from seeking funds on
the open market. .The basis for this proposal is that Colorado-Ute's bond
rating would require much higher interest than tfre other sources. It
wou'ld be reasonable ro require that Co1orado-Ute finance its share wi+-h
-1 8-
FFB and CFC, unjess more favorable terms cou'ld be abtained elsewhere.
Such a requirernent will be imposed. Staff also suggestei that certajn
condit.ions be imposed regarding what has been termed as Phase iI and
Phase III in this proceeding. Phase II is the proposeri upgrading of the
existing IIAPA 230 KY Transmission Line to 345 KY, and Phase III would be
a future 345 KV Line. The evidence in the recorC in this case
estab'lishes that Phase I is the only thing within the scope of this
application, and any certificate to be granted wiil not authorize
Co1orado-Ute or the other Applicant to participate in Phase Ii or
Phase IiI. If Colorado-Ute decides to participate in Phase II it will
have to comply with the Public Utilities Law at that time. The evidence
does establish t}rat Colorado-Ute pians to attempt to purchase additionaj
right-of-way and construct certain towers to faci'litate Phase III.
Phase IIi would not be constructed, r'f at all, until some time in the far
future. It wou'ld be imprudent to authorize expenditures for a contingent
Phase IIi project that wou'ld not be constructed until far in the future,
if at a'll. Any certificate to be issued in this proceeding will not
authorize the Applicants to expend any funds for Phase III.
38. Western Colorado Congress has requested that the record be
reopened so that it would be able to call and cross-examine Mr. Frederick
Kuhlemeier. During the hearing, l{CC attempted to call Mr. Kuhlemeier as
an adverse witness in its case, which was objected to by Colorado-Ute.
That objection was susiained by the Exaririner. The basis for the ruling
was that, I,JCC had failed to comply with a Commission order controliing the
procedure in this application. They were a'l'lowed to submit a written
offer of proof, which is in the record as Exhibit 70. During the hearing
the Examiner mentioned that the order may have been impossible to comp'ly
with, however, as was pointed out, l{estern Colorado Congress.couid have
taken the disposition of Mr. Kuh'temeier and used the disposition as his
direct testimony. Therefore, they cou'ld have complied with the

Garfield County Commissioners
P. O. Box 640
Glenwood Springs, CO 81602
Dear Sirs:
Rifle-San Juan 345-kv Transmission Line
Garfield County - Special Use Permit
Thank you for granting Colorado-Ute a 90-day extension to
fulfill the conditions of the Special Use Permit requestecl from
Garfield County.
Following is a list of specific conditions contained in
Resolution No. B3-296 issued September 19, 1983. Following each,
is a description or a brief explanation of how we have complied
with the condition.
1. A11 proposals of the applicant shall be considered
conditions of approval.
Response: AIl proposals outlined
Epp-TicaTion have been f u1f il led
in the permit
by Colorado-Ute.
2. That prior to issuance of the subject special Use
Permits, the applicant shalI obtain and submit to the Garfield
County Department of Development/PIanning Division copies of:
a. A11 permits from other governmental entities
affecting Garfield County.
Response: BLM Permit is enclosed. This is the only
om'er governmental permit required.
b. The PubIic Utilities Commission approved Certifi-
cate of Public Convenience and Necessity.
Response: Delivered to Mark Bean on August 31, 1984.
Commissioners -2-December 14, 1984
c. The final easement description, location of
towers, and easement agreements with private and
public land owners and/or order of possession.
Said final easement description may vary from
the proposed route, provided any variation stays
on lands owned by landowners notified by return-
receipt mail of this action and lands owned by
the Bureau of Land Management. Department of
Development staff will contact affected land-
owners and inspect easement with applicant prior
to construction. Any changes suggested by land-
owners and staff may be incorporated into the
final design. Colorado-Ute will reimburse
Garfield County for additional staff review on
cost reimbursement basis, which in no case shall
exceed $2500.00 for a1I additional project
review.
Response:
Colorado-Ute has successfully negotiated 1 7 out of
19 required easements from private landowners.
The Colorado-Ute Board of Directors, by Resolution,
dated October 12, 1984r duthorized condemnation
procedures for this portion of the line (copy
enclosed ) .
On August 31, 1984, Penny Christensen delivered to
Mark Bean a copy of all the easements obtained to
date. Attached are copies of the easements for C1em,
Savage, Rifle Ski Corp., and Gardner, which we have
acquired since August 31, 1984.
We have proceeded with immediate possessions from
the remaining parcels owned by Battlement Mesa and
Grass Mesa. Following is a brief description of the
problems we have encountered in acquiring easements
across these properties. A1so, copies of our orders
to proceed with immediate possession of these prop-
erties are enclosed.
Battlement Mesa, Inc.
Mr. Story of Colorado-Ute is sti11 dealing with BMI.
It seems that just when Mr. Story begins to make
progress, BMI replaces personnel, and Mr. Story is
faced with renegotiating with the new people. Since
negotiations have proceeded so slowly, we have ordered
our attorney to proceed with condemnation. It is pos-
sible that we will be able to negotiate an easement
before a condemnation hearing occurs.
Commis s ioners -3-
Grass Mesa
December 14, 1984
Mr. Chicon of Colorado-Ute is stil1 neqotiating with
Grass MeSa. Because negotiations have not produced
agreement as to value of the Grass Mesa propertiesr. on
O6toner 25, 1gg4, ME. Chicon advised Attorney Robert_
James of the necessity to prepare for condemnation of
this property. As is customary, Colorado-Ute will
continue to try to reach an agreement with Grass MeSa,
until such timE as condemnation hearings commence.
we remain hopeful of acquirinq this easement through
negot iat ion.
3. That each storage/staging area be permitted separ-
ately, for defined periods of time. That prior.to issuance of said
Special Use Permit(;), the applicant will identify tlt location of
;;;h-=ioiug./sLaoing'area and-demonstrate that all sites will be
reclaimed to the oriqinal condition if not in a previously approved
storage/staging area.
Response: we have subleased a staging area from Va1ley
fumt,eftompany. An executed copy of the sublease from
VaIIey Lum-ber-Company and the lease from the Rio Grande
Land tompany to V;Iley Lumber Company is enclosed.
It is oui understanding that Rio Grande Land Company
obtained the required permits. Therefore, colorado-ute
will not need to obtain an additional permit'
4. That the applicant will post security in the form of
a bond or other acceptablL security, for road maintenance as deemed
appropriate by the eoard and the County Road Supervisor.
Response: Security bond for road maintenance has been
posta"Tn the amount of $100,000.00, and is enclosed.
inis amount was requested by Mark Bean's letter to
Colorado-Ute dated March 28, 1984'
5. That the applicant will post security in the form of
a bond or other acceptable security, the equivalent to the estimat-
ed cost of site reha'bilitation of arr private lands affected in
Garfield county as deemed appropriate by the Board.
Response: Enclosed is a security Bond fo_r $421904.00 for
ffiffia rehabilitation of private land, as requested
in Mark Beanrs letter dated March 28, 1984'
6. That upon allegation by an affected landowner or
governmental entity, the eoaia shal1 investigate compliance with
if," conditions of ipproval, as provided for in section 9'0'l '06 of
Garfield County Zonihg Resolutions, of 1978r ds amended'

Response: The Site Specific Landscaping Management Plan-i-E6liln- on the Plan ind Right-of-way l,tips (litest maps

9. That prior to issuance of said Special Use Permita definite construction time schedule sha11 be submitted to the
County.

of one hundred twenty days (120) from the date of issuance, unless
construction or the land use has been established within that

Colorado-Ute will conduct neighborhood meetings with land-
owners two weeks prior to the start of construction. The purpose
of these meetings will be to inform landowners of the various
activities that-wi11 occur in their vicinity, and to acquaint them
with Colorado-Ute field representatives who they may call at any
time with questions and concerns.
Having met all the above conditions for issuance of the
Special Use Permit, Colorado-Ute is hereby respectfully reguests

prove that Colorado-Ute's chosen alternative is better than all other
alternatives 'is both a practical and logical impossibif ity. Presumably
the alternatives are almost limit1ess and no singie proposal js'likely
to receive the unanimous approval of all interests. The Examiner found
that Colorado-Ute had evaluated alternatives which could become part of
the proposed long-term solution from an engineering and economic
perspective and he found them not to be as good as Colorado-Ute's proposa).
We do not find that WCC proved that other solutions are betterin meet'ing
the power transmission needs of Colorado-Ute in western and southwestern
Col orado.
With respect to the procedural argumen! raised by WCC, namely the
examiner's ruling that WCC would not be permitted to present Mr. Frederick
Kuhlemeier on the stand as an adverse witness, we find that the examiner
acted properly.
0n January 4, 1983, the Commission entered a procedural order
pursuant to C83-39 which required the Staff and intervening parties to
prefi'le direct testimony and exhibits. WCC did not prefi1e any testimony
on its d'irect case by adverse witness Kuhlemeier on the basis that it would
be impossible to do so. The examiner found that WCC could have undertaken
to depose Mr. Kuhlemeier and to present his deposition as its prefiled
direct testimony,'which WCC failed to do. Additionally, we find that triCC
did not even file a statement of the fact that it intended to call Mr.
Kuhlemeier as an adverse witness nor did it file a surnrnary of the test'imony,
or the type of testimony which it would attempt to elicit from Mr. Kuhlemeier
by placing him on the stand. In any event, the testimony by Mr. Kuh'lemeier
relating to Craig 3 wouid only be margina'l1y relevant, if relevant.at all,
to the instant application.
In summary, we do not find that WCC's exceptions set forth
sufficient factual or legal grounds for the granting thereof.
With regard to the Staff's exceptions to Finding of Fact No. 34
of the Examiner, relating to Shellts participation in paying for a portion
of the cost of the Rifle-San Juan 345 KV transmission line, we find that
the Staff's exceptions are well taken and shou'ld be granted. In a portfon
of Finding of Fact No. 34 the examiner states:
A large number of the public witnesses suggested
that they should not be required to pay for a facility
to serve SheI'1. Several times there was a suggestion
that Shell shou'ld shoulder a percentage of the cost
of the transmission line which is the subject matter
of this application. The evidence presented in this
matter establishes that SheIl will be a customer of
Empire and will be treated like any other industrial
load of a distribution cooperative. The evidence
also establishes that there is a need for the subject
transmission line whether or not the proposed Shell
load is considered, and that it would be proposed
by the applicants even in the absence of the Shel'l
I oad. Thi s proposal re'lates to the bu'l k transmi ssi on
system which serves distribution cooperatives, and

Grand Junction will be in Colorado-Ute and Public Service, with
colorado-ute holding 75% and Public service hol ding 25%, From Grand
Junction to san Juan, New I'lexico, colorado-Ute and l{ApA will each
contribute 50%, and each will have that amount of capacity. Ownership of
t}te Ifne will be divided at the mid-way point, wfth Colorado-Ute holding
title to the northern part and UAPA to the southern part.
12. General routing of tjte line has been deterrnined but the
exact location of the line wi'll be determined in accordance with
applicable 'law and is not an issue in this proceeding.
13. Colorado-Ute and I{APA have termed this line ,'phase I',.
They have termed the proposed upgrading of tjre I,IAPA 230 Ky Line that runs
from l,lAPA's Rifle Substation to Curecanti to New Mexico, as "phase II.,,
They have termed a possib'le future 345 KY Line that would basically
parallel the one proposed in this Application as Phase III. Phase I is
the subject of this Application and is all that is being considered at
this time. If Colorado-Ute decides to proceed with what they have termed
as Phase iI or Phase III, it will comply with applicable]aw at that
time, as uris Decision does not consider or authorize phase iI or
Phase IiI.
14. Exhibit No. 3 is the agreement entered into between
Co'lorado-Ute, Public Service and IIAPA concerning the section of the line
from Rif'le to Grand Junction. It specifies that it is anticipated that
the'line will be in service 24 monttrs after ail pennits and approvals are
received. Exhibit No.4 is a draft of the agreement between Colorado-Ute
and WAPA covering tlre Grand,lunction to San Juan portion of the'line. It
should be noted that Exhibit 4 specifies that the parties ant'icipate that
Phase II is expected to be required by 1987, and that Colorado-Ute wi]l
have l2 months after the formal execution of the agreement to advise I,lApA

HllI have approximately 125 megawatts of transfer capablllty betreen
Rlfle and Grand Junction while Colorado-Ute and I{APA would each have
approxlmately I87.5 megaratts of transfer capabllity betreen urose
points. From Grand Junctlon south, Colorado-Ute and HAPA would each have
approximately 250 megawatts of capacity ln Ure llne.
19. Colorado-Ute bases lts contention that it needs for the
proposed llne upon Ute power requirements of lts southwest members,
includlng Delta-Montrose, Empire, La Plata, Grand valley Rural power
Lines, and San Mlguel Power Association, Inc. The transnission capacity
Colorado-Ute has at Ute present to serve those loads consists of a tl5 Kv
Transmlsslon Llne runn{ng from Rifle tirough souUrwest CoIorado. The
capaclty of tJtat Iine ls approximately 50 megawatts. Colorado-Ute also
has certaln generatlng capaclty ln southwest Colorado. Colorado-Ute
rates the reasonably available generating capacity fn southwest Colorado
through 1983 at 50 megawatts, and at 54 megawatts after 1984 because of
additional capacity expected to be operational at the Tacoma-grdro
PIant. colorado-Ute's position on ure capacity of its generating
facillties in souUtwest Colorado is reasonable, and wlll be accepted for
PurPoses of thls proceeding. Therefore, it is found tJrat Colorado-Ute
presently has available 50 megawatts of transmission capacity and 50
megawatts of generating capacity that it can rely on, and ttrat from 1984
foruard it wllI haYe an additional 14 megawatts of generating capacity,
for a total of lI4 nregaratts of capacity to meet the loads in
southvestern Colorado. It is projected that during 1983 the demand of
tJte 5 souUtwest members will reach i80 megawatts, that during'1985 tJre
demand will reach 226 megawatts and during I99o it will reach 3ll
megawatts. Thus, by 1990 colorado-ute's existing capacity will by 197
megawatts short of meeting the demand of colorado-ute's southwest
merbers. The projections of demand are found to be reasonabje for this
proceeding.

23. Public Service provides electric service to the Grand
Junction area. it is an isolated system with a 230 KY Transmission Line
tying it to the interconnected grid system, and 90 megawatts of
generation capacity in the area. Public Service estimates that its load
west of its Cameo Power Station in the Grand Junction area in the 1995
Utrough 1997 time frarne will be approximate'ly 155 megawatts. Since Grand
Junction is an isolated system, Public Service analyzed the situation on
the basis of having 2 facilities out of service, namely the 230 KY
Transmission Line and the largest generator at the Cameo Plant. If both
of these facilities were out service there would oniy be 40 megawatts
available to serve the load. The .I25 megawatts of its share of t}ris line
added to the 40 megawatts would allow ft to serve its Grand Junction load
in the 1995 to 1997 time frame. The'likelihood of both of these
facflities being out at the same time is very small
24. There is a need for additional transmission capacity to
serve loads in southwestern Co'lorado. There is a need for additional
transmission capacity to improve system reliability and to improve the
level of service available to consumers in southwestern Colorado.
Additional transmission capacity in southwestern Colorado would also
provide the capability for energy transfers.
25. The forecast used'and found to be reasonable takes into
account Ule effects of conservation. Col orado-Ute does not expect smal I
power producers to suppiy any considerable amount of the power in the
southwestern part of the State, and that in fact they wi]l supply less
tlran l0% of what wil'l be needed.

coordrnated between three entities, and nill minimize the construction of
maior faci'lities in southwestern co]orado. It is an operationally
feasible solution to the problems that exist.
TTIE FINANCIAL FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSAL
29. I{APA has received funds for its share of the proposed line.
30. Public Services's estimated cost to comp'lete its share of
the project is approximately $8,500,000. Public service intends to
finance its share by a combination of internal and external sources or
funds. Public Service has the financial ab'flity and resources to finance
the project. It is financia'lly feasible for Public Service, especially
in viet of the fact that this project will requi,re a substantially
smaller outlay than one independently developed by Pub'lic Service to
provide additional transmission faci'lities for Pub'lic Service's Grand
Junction load.
31. It is estimated that the Colorado-Ute share of the project
will be approximately $70.4 miJlion. Co'lorado-Ute intends to borrow all
of the funds necessary to fund its portion of the project. At December
3'l , 1982 colorado-ute's equity was $'l ,926,262. its long-term debt was
$866,5'18,899. Adding the cost of the Colorado-Ute share to this wou'ld
increase its'long-term debt to approximately 9936,904,g99. This would
change its capita'l structure fron .22% equity and 99.78% debt to .?1%
equity and 99.79i debt. For the twelve months ended Oecember 31, .1982
colorado-ute had operating margins of $4,808,086 and non operating
margins of $923,074. colorado-ute has provided an exhibit, which was
admitted into evidence as Exhibit No. .l5, which shows that with the rate
increase effective December 'l , '1982 that Colorado-Ute wil'l be able to
support the proposed transmission 'line without a rate increase.
Colorado-Ute wou'ld expect to obtain 90% of its requirements under the

facflities to serve Shell are being constructed by Empire pursuant to a
certificate of pubiic convenience and necessity issued by this Commission
and are befng paid for by Shell. See Exhibit 55. Exhibit 5 shows that
this load is proJected to amount to 22 megawatts fn 1984 and to increase
to 62 megawatts in 1991. A iarge number of tJre pub'lic witnesses
suggested that they should not be required to pay for a facility to serve
Shell. Several times there rras a suggestion that Shell should shoulder a
percentage of the cost of the transmissfon Iine which is the subject
matter of tjris Applicatlon. The evidence presented in this maiter
establishes that Shel'l will be a customer of Empire and will be treated
like any other industria'l load of a distribution cooperative. The
evidence also establishes that there is a need for the subject
transmission line whether or not the proposed Shell load is considered,
and tiat it would be proposed by the Applicants even in the absence of
the Shell load. This proposal relates to tJre buik transmission system
which serves distribution cooperatives, and it wou'ld be inappropriate to
pick out one customer of a distribution system and require that customer
to contribute funds for Ute construction of the bulk transmission
system. If such a procedure were to be followed, an assessment should be
made against each and every customer that wou'ld benefit from the addition
t0 the bu]k transrnission system, which would include all customers in
southwestern Co]orado. The evidence is clear that shell is in fact
paying for those facilities constructed especially for it and that other
consumers in southwestern CoJorado wili not be asked to pay for the
facilities designed just to serve Shell.
35. The argument has been advanced that sufficient alternatives
were not considered by Appiicants, and that sufficient study was not
given to alternatives. A number of alternatives were pointed out during
the hearing. The evidence establishes that a number of alternatives were
studied by Colorado-Ute, some less extensive'ly than others. The evidence
estabiishes that none of the a'tternatives pointed out at the hearing were

FFB and CFC, unless more favorable terms could be obtained elsewhere.
Such a requirement wiil be imposed. Staff also suggested that certain
conditions be imposed regarding what has been termed as phase II and
Phase III in this proceeding. Phase Ii is the proposed upgrading of the
existing l,lAPA 230 KV Transmission Line to 345 KY, and Phase iII wou]d be
a future 345 KY Lfne. The evidence in the record in this case
establishes that Phase I is the only thing witJrin the scope of this
application, and any certificate to be granted wi't] not authorize
Colorado-ute or the other Applicant to participate in phase II or
Phase III. If Colorado-Ute decides to participate in Phase II it will
have to comply with the Public Utilities Law at that time. The eviclence
does establish that Colorado-Ute plans to attempt to purchase additional
right-of-way and construct certain towers to facilitate phase IIi.
Phase III would not be constructed, if at all, until some time in the far
future. It would be imprudent to authorlze expenditures for a contingent
Phase III project that would not be constructed until far in the future,
if at all. Any certificate to be issued in this proceeding wil'l not
authorize the Applicants to expend any funds for phase III.
38. l{estern Colorado Congress has requested that the record be
reopened so that it wouid be abie to call and cross-examine Mr. Frederick
Kuhlemeier. During the hearing, !{CC attempted to call Mr. Kuhlemeier as
an adrrerse wftness in its case, which was objected to by Colorado-Ute.
That obiection was sustained by the Examiner. The basis for the ruling
was that l'/CC had failed to comply with a Commission order controlling the
procedure in this appiication. They were al'lowed to submit a written
offer of proof, which is in the record as Exhibit 70. During the hearing
the Examiner mentioned that the order may have been impossible to comply
with, however, as was pointed out, I{estern Colorado Congress cou'ld have
taken t}te disposition of Mr. Kuhlemeier and used the dispositfon as his
d'irect testimony. Therefore, they couid have complied with the

Regulatlons for lmplementing the procedural provisions of t,he National
Environmental PollcY Act (NEPA).
I. DECISION
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has made the deeision to grant
a rlght-of-way to Colorado-Ute Electrlc Assoclatlon, Ine'
(Colorado-Ute) for 150 kn,(93 niles) of 345 kV transmission line
and assoclated facllitles on BLM admlnistrated public lands (tota1
disrance of the line on all lands ls 453 km or 283 ulles). Table 1
and Figure 1 ldentlfy the selected corridors by locatlon. The
transmission line will be constructed between Rl.fle, Colorado and
the San Juan Generatlng Station located near FarEington, New
I,lexico, and will cross public lands ln Garfleld, Mesa, Delta,
Montrose, San Miguel, Dolores, Montezuma and La Plata Counties in
Colorado. Associated facilities include the expanslon of exlsting
substations at Grand Junction and MonErose, Colorado; constructlon
of a new substation (Long Hollow Substation) near Durango; and
additlon of Lransuission line terminatlon facili-ties aE t.he Rlfle

III. EVALUATION OF ALTERI'IATIVES
A. Fl,nanclng Alternatives
In considering REA flnancing alternatives, the provislons of
the Rural Electrlflcatlon Act were considered along I{ith Ehe
evaluation of system and project alternaELrres. REA has
determlned that financing asslstance to Co-Lorado-Ute for the
Rifle-San Juan project should be condiElon:rlly approved.
B. Reasons Alternatlves To The Proposed Constructlon Wereiffi
ered and
subsequently ellminat.ed from further analyr;ls:
1. The alternatlve would not meet the needs of all the
project partlclpants.
2. The alternatlve would not reduce the need for
addltlonal transmlsslon capaclty ln Ehe dr€ao
t
3. The alternative would not increase sysEem reliability.4. The alternative would require major ieconstruction of analready overloaded transmission system.5. The alternative would not provid.e sufficient addit.ionalcapacity.to satlsfy loads in southrsestern colorado, andwould merely postpone environmental impacts.6, The alternat,ive was a short, instead of a desiredlong-term solutlon.
7 - sufficlent capacity was not available to support thealternaEive.
8. The alternaEive would require changes froro dc to ac at,each substatlon whlch would not be as efficient glven thedistance covered by the proposed line.9. The technology was not available for large-scale,rellable operation.
A more detailed discussioi or arturnatives considered buteliminated frou further analysis is included in Section 3.3 of thesupplemental Draft Environmental rnpact statement (sDErs).
C. Systen Alternatives
After evaluaEing system alternatives proposed for increasingcapaci.ty and rellability to sout.hwest co10rado, REA det.erninedthe single-circuit 345 kv transmission line is in the bestinterests of alt, of the project parEi.cipants.
of the other $te, alternatives include:
Disadvantages
1.simllar envlronmental ftnpacts would be incurred withoutmeeting the needs of all the participants.
Greater envlronnental impacts than the proposed projecE
would be incurred due to the need to construct additionallines.
Higher costs would result.
Hlgher transmisslon line losses would result.
There would be reduced interconnecti.on capability.
2.
3.
4.
5.
A more detailed dlscussLon of these alternatives is presentedln Sectlon 3.4 of the SDEIS.
No Action
REA considers the no action alternative to be unaccept.able.The potenEial consequences that could result includ.e:1. Reduced system re1iabi1lty.2. Increased power losses.
3. No increase ln capacity to southwest Colorado.4. Inability to malntatn adequaEe voltage leve1s.5. Possible load curtailment. t6. rncreased need for each partlcipant to consEruct separatefacilities.

A 1) Shlprock -
Durango 115 kV linelocated on property.2) Avoids
culEivated land.3) Avoids planned
developments.More detailed description of alEernaElve routes andsubstatlon sltes are found in Sections 3.6.2 and 3.7 of.the SDEIS and Sectior. 2.2.1 of the FEIS.

-
ImportanE Farmland
The proposed route would remove a smal1 amount. of agriculturalland from production. Transmission towers along the preferred
corridor would. occupy less than 0.2 ha ( 0.5 acre) of priroe
farraland, 0.8 ha (2 acres) of irrigated cropland and 0.4 ha (1
acre) of nonirrlgated cropland. Therefore, the proposedproject will have a minimal iropact on important farmland.
Floodplains and Wetlands
several floodplain and wetland areas associated with rivers
and strearns will be crossed by the proposed project. A11
these areas are less than 305 m (1000 ft) in width and,therefore, can be spanned by the line. No support structureswill be located in a wetland; however, a support sEructure mayhave to be located irt a floodplain. The Arrny Corps of
Engineers indicated the placement of transroission towers in afloodplain should not have an impaet on flooding. BLM hasdetermined Ehere will be no adverse impact on wet.land areas
and there is no practical alternative to avoid crossing afloodplain area. The project will be designed to minioizepotentlal haru to or within a floodplaln.
Cultural Resources
ffi historical or archaeological sites alongthe transmission line route which are listed or proposed forlisting in the NaLional Register of Historlc places. However,
unknown archaeological sites may be present along thetransmission line route. Therefore, colorado-ute will conduct
an arehaeological survey to identify any sites of concernwithin areas to be disturbed.
V. ENVIRONMENTALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
Based solely on environmental factors, the alEernatives causing theleast impact to the human environment would be alEernatives whichrequire no new constructlon by the participants (i.e., no action,energy conservatlon and load management, or purchase of power).
However, as discussed prevlously, none of these alternatives areviable options for the participants to meet. their needs.
Therefore, BLM has determlned the proposed alEernative; i.€.y
construcElon of a new 345 kV transmisslon llne on the describedcorridors (Table 1 & Figure 1) ts an acceptable alternarive that
meets all the participanEsr needs wlth mininal environmental
lnpactf-
The preferred corridor is the environmentally preferred route forthe reasons llsted ln Table 2. Also the route is preferred
because:

3.
The corridor was developed through consulEation wit.hFederal, state and 1ocal agencies and lnterest.ed partles.
The exact routing has been developed through consultatlon
and coordlnatlon wlEh FS, BLM, affected countles andlnterested partles.
The preferred corridor is compatlble wlth the present andfuture needs of all partlclpants.
VI.MITIGATION AND ENVIRONMENTAI MO},IITORING
cbnstructlon and operatlon of the proposed. transmisslon lLne andassoeiated facilities wl11 resulE ln lmpacts to the environment.To mlnlmize these lmpacts, mitl-gatLon measures have been d.evelopedand are identl-fied ln stipulations and construction procedures mad.ea part of the Rifle-san Juan 345 kv rransmission Llne supplementalDraft and Final Environmental rmpact statements and theconstruction contract and appendices, includlng plan andRights-of-Way maps. The Rlght-of-Way granr, C-29423, alsoreferences these stlpulatlons. colorado-Ute is required, as acondition of receivlng rlghr-of-way grant c-29423, to comply withal-], envlronrnental regulations and all comnitments in the grant andthe constructLon contract and plan and rlghts-of-way ,"p".
BLM staff and colorado-ute representatlves will inspectconstruction areas to ensure compliance wtth environnentalcommitments and grant stipulatlons as shown i.n the constructl-oncontract and appendlces including the plan and rlghts-of-way maps,and the right-of-way grant.
