Carbondale, Colorado
Attn: Richard A. Flewelling
City Manager
Gentlenen:
Public Seryice Conpany of Colorado must expand the electric facili-
ties in and arormd the Town of Carbondale to provide additional capa-
city and reliability. The proposed expansion is a result of coordinated
planning efforts between puUfic Service Company and Colorado Ute Electric
Associalion and will provide an interconnected 115,000 volt transmi-ssion
system. Such a system will increase the capacity 4d pliability of
service to both Colorado Ute's member, Floly Cross Rural Electric Associa-
tion, and hrblic Seryice Companyrs electric demands in the Carbondale
area.
The portion of this expansion which will most directly concern the Town
of Cirbondale i.s the addition of 115,000 volt facilities at our Carbondale
Substation, and the construction of the 115,000 volt transmission line
from Carbondale Substation to Colorado Utes Crysta1 Substation. The
proposed aligrurent for this line is along the north side of the Denver
ind Rio Grande Western Railroad rigJrt-of-way through Carbondale, and
then on the south side of Cor-rnty Road No. 100 as illustrated on the
attactred exhibits. The line will be located within the railroad's rig[t-
of-way exclusively within the Townrs limits thus eliminating the need
for acquisition of private rights-of-way.
The alignnent has been reviewed in the field by the Denver and Rio Grande
Western Railroad Conpany and was approved contingent on a favorable
review and approval by the Town of Carbondale.
The lj11e will be constructed on single pole steel structures. The steel
will be du1led to a non-reflective, mottled gray-b1ack appearance, and
average 75 to B0 feet higlr. The conductors will be non-specular and
brown stand-off post type insulators will be used. A11 Pubfic Service
Company facilitiLs are designed and constructed to neet or exceed all
appiic'rffe standards of design and performance set forth in the National
Electric Safety Code.
The entire transrnission line, from Public Service Conpany's Hopkins
