PUBLIC NOTICE
Pursuant to the Wyoming Administrative
Procedure Act and the Wyoming Public
Service Commission’s Procedural Rules
and Special Regulations, notice is hereby
given of the application of Rocky Mountain
Power, formerly known as PacifiCorp
(Rocky Mountain Power or the Company),
for a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity (CPCN) to construct, operate
and maintain the expansion of its existing
Chappel Creek Substation and construct,
operate and maintain approximately 32
miles of 230 kV transmission line.
On November 3, 2006, Rocky Mountain
Power filed an application requesting a
CPCN to construct, operate and maintain
the expansion of its existing Chappel
Creek Substation and construct, operate
and maintain approximately 32 miles
of 230 kV transmission line pursuant to
Commission Rule Sections 204 and 205.
The Chappel Creek Substation is located
approximately one mile west of the town
of Labarge, Wyoming. The Company
states the expansion will add a three circuit
breaker 230 kV ring bus at the substation
to serve an 80MW load requested by
Jonah Gas Gathering Company (Jonah).
In addition, the project will include the
construction of approximately 32 miles
of 230 kV transmission line that will be
owned, operated and maintained by Rocky
Mountain Power and will extend from the
Chappel Creek Substation to the site of
Jonah’s 230/13.8 kV substation and associated
230 kV primary metering location.
The expanded Chappel Creek
Substation will be located on property
owned by the State of Wyoming in Lot
37, Township 26 North, Range 113 West
of the Sixth Principal Meridian, Lincoln
County, Wyoming, and the expansion of
the substation will not extend beyond the
easement that was originally granted for
the existing Chappel Creek Substation.
The approximately 32-mile 230 kV transmission
line extension from the Chappel
Creek Substation to Jonah’s 230/13.8 kV
substation will be located primarily on
property owned by the United States
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
beginning in Township 27 North, Range
112 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian,
Sublette County, Section 31, and running
northeasterly through Section 31, 30, 19,
20 and 17. Next, the route crosses land
owned by C&D Enterprises, LLC in a portion
of the Northeast Quarter (NE ¼) of the
Southeast Quarter (NE ¼ SE¼) of Section
17, followed by land owned by Beneficial
Oil Company in a portion of the Northeast
Quarter (NE¼) of Section 17. From this
point, the route continues easterly through
the State of Wyoming land in Section
16 and BLM land in Sections 15, 10, 11
and 12 of Township 27 North, Range
112 West. The route through BLM land
continues easterly through Township 27
North, Range 110 West, in Sections 7, 8,
9, 4, 3, 2 and 1; Township 27 North, Range
109 West, Sections 6 and 5; northeasterly
through Township 28 North, Range 109
West, Sections 33, 34, 27, 26, 23 and
24; and continues northeasterly through
Township 28 North, Range 108 West,
Sections 19, 18, 17, 8 and 9 to Jonah’s
substation facility located in Section 9,
Township 28 North, Range 108 West of the
Sixth Principal Meridian, Sublette County.
Rocky Mountain Power states it is pursuing
permits and easements for use of these
properties from the BLC, C&D Enterprises,
LLC, Beneficial Oil Company and the State
of Wyoming and will provide them to the
Commission as soon as they are available
and prior to the start of construction.
Rocky Mountain Power states the
Chappel Creek Substation expansion project
is needed to serve Jonah which will
build, own and operate its own 230/13.8
kV substation for distribution service to
its natural gas compression facilities near
Boulder, Wyoming, and will support industrial
load growth and natural gas production
in the area. Rocky Mountain Power
states the project will provide necessary
high voltage service to large industrial
customers. Rocky Mountain Power further
states the stability and reliability of
its electrical system is not expected to be
adversely affected by this project.
Rocky Mountain Power estimates the
total cost of the expansion of the Chappel
Creek Station project (including the new
230 kV transmission line segment) is
approximately $21,330,000 which will be
financed by Rocky Mountain Power primarily
through the use of internally generated
funds, short-term borrowing and the
use of first mortgage bonds or other forms
of debt and equity.
Rocky Mountain Power proposes to
begin construction in January 2007, and
estimates a completion date of October 1,
2007, if normal construction circumstances,
weather conditions, labor availability
and materials delivery are realized.
Rocky Mountain Power states the area
surrounding the site of the expanded substation
and the proposed 230 kV transmission
line segment consists of uninhabited
open range land covered by sagebrush
and grass. The Company states it is
unaware of any adverse impact of the
proposed project on surrounding scenic,
historical, archeological, recreational or
natural resources.
Interested persons may inspect the
application at Rocky Mountain Power’s
Wyoming offices and at the Commission’s
offices in Cheyenne, Wyoming, during
regular business hours.
Anyone seeking to file a statement,
protest, intervention or a request for a
public hearing regarding this matter must
so file, in writing, with the Commission,
on or before December 15, 2006. Any
petitions filed shall set forth the grounds
of the proposed intervention or request
for hearing as well as the position and the
interest of the petitioner in this proceeding.
